Heero looked around his new smaller apartment and nodded. The preventor at the door smiled and left Heero to his privacy. Heero strode into the bedroom and set his duffle bag on the bed. He placed his new badge on the nightstand and sat down.

Earlier that day he had called Une and gotten a job with her at Preventors. He was now the head computer technician. After that he talked with his landlord and told him that he was moving out. The landlord got the paper work for Heero to fill out. After that was done Heero found some packing boxes and packed up the apartment.

He felt detached as he packed. He didn't allow himself to acknowledge that it hurt to pack up all the pictures that Duo took of them together. Once he was finished packing he rented a moving van and went to the nearest storage warehouse. He rented a garage and placed all the boxes in there. He pulled out the engagement ring and put it on top of the boxes. He looked at it for a long moment then he closed he garage and locked it. He stood outside it and looked at the closed garage. It felt final to him and he sighed then tucked the key into his pocked and walked back to the van. He then took the van back and then headed to Preventors HQ.

Une was there to meet him and took him through what his job would entail. Then she gave him his badge and had one of her personnel show him to his new apartment.

Heero sighed and unpacked his meager belongings. He put his laptop on top of the desk in the corner and hooked it up. Then he put his clothes in the dresser. After he was done he went out into the living room and into the kitchen. He looked through the fridge and realized he would have to go grocery shopping.

He decided to wait on the grocery shopping until tomorrow. He looked at the time and realized it was close to the time he would have to go meet the others for dinner. He grabbed his keys and left.

Trowa was there to greet him outside the restaurant they had picked. He led Heero to the table quietly. Wufei nodded to him when he sat down.

"Hi Heero." Quatre said.

Heero nodded his head in greeting and looked at the menu. Quatre frowned and was about to say something but Trowa just shook his head at Quatre. Quatre sighed and decided to drop it. The waiter soon came and they ordered their food. As soon as the waiter left, Quatre started speaking.

"I got a message from Duo. It seems he's already left to go find himself. He'll keep in touch and he left a contact number in case he was really needed."

Heero didn't say anything about it. He just let Quatre talk and tuned him out. Quatre kept talking about his job with the other two saying a word or two. Heero stayed silent through the dinner.

Quatre finally looked at him, "You okay Heero?"

"Fine."

"Are you sure."

"I said I was fine Quatre." Heero said harshly.

The others looked at him in shock but they decided to leave him alone about it. They figured if Heero wanted to talk to them then he would. The rest of dinner went fine, but Heero could feel their inquisitive stares on him.

When he finally got back to his new apartment he set the keys on the counter and went into his room. He was about to go to sleep when he saw the red light flashing on his laptop indicating an email was waiting for him.

He sat down at the desk and opened the email. He frowned when he read it was from Duo. He read the email and frowned harder. Duo described his adventures and how he had met some `nice girls.' He then said he'll send an weekly email so Heero wouldn't worry about him. Heero pushed the cursor over the delete button but hesitated.

A part of him wanted to keep the email but the pain and the hurt was stronger and he pushed the delete button. He shut down the computer and laid down on the bed. He stared at the ceiling for a long while. Duo's smiling face flashed before his eyes and he sighed. He rolled over on the bed and held the pillow like a teddy bear. He curled into a fetal position and cried. He eventually fell asleep.
