Chapter 4

Duo heaved a sigh. Even after all this time, Heero still thought so little of him.

Duo opened the hatch and leaped to the catwalk across from him. He wasn't really surprised. It wasn't as if his disappearance mattered to either of them.

After Duo's departure, Howard and his men went to space to join the crew on the Peacemillion. Howard took in the quiet nature of the boy he had come to view as his son. It would seem that the reunion did not go as planned. He shoved his hands into his pockets searching for his cigarettes. Howard wasn't quite sure he could help Duo with this problem. Duo walked off down the catwalk, his hands rubbing at his face. Temporary blinded, Duo stumbled over a wrench lying forgotten on the ground. Strong arms grabbed him before he kissed the ground. He was yanked back against a hard chest, an arm rapped around his chest and a hand clutched his hip.

It was of course at that time that the other Gundam pilots choose to make their appearance. Heero stepped out of Zero and froze at the sight before him. His eyes narrowed and his fist tightened in rage. Who was that man with his arms around Duo? He quickly got his emotions under control, confusion washing over him at the unknown feeling. Heero turned on his heel and walked off. The other three pilots followed, they however glanced back before disappearing from sight.

Duo sighed as the arms around him loosened and he was firmly planted back on his own two feet. Duo glanced up and suddenly forgot to breath. A set of the deepest emerald green eyes he had ever seen stared back at him. "Are you alright?" the man asked.

Duo about melted as the voice washed over him. The deep tone tingling down his back. "F...fine." he replied breathlessly.

A hand came up to cup his cheek. "Your pupils are dilated; I think perhaps you should lie down."

Duo frowned, "Who are you?"

The man laughed softly, removing his hand. "Forgive my rudeness, my name is Kyle. I am the new doctor on board."

"Kyle," Duo thought "what a beautiful name."

Kyle bowed slightly, "I hope you don't mind, but please allow me to escort you to your cambers. It is in my opinion that you should rest."

Duo knew he was staring but hell he couldn't stop himself. It was if the man before him walked right out of his best wet dream. Kyle stood at least 6 feet tall with blue streak black hair to the shoulders tie back at his neck with a leather strip. He wore black jeans painted to his muscular frame. They stopped at his hips where Duo caught a glance of tanned skin before it was hidden by a black muscle shirt.

Kyle smiled, "Besides ones as beautiful as yourself should never have to walk alone."

Duo felt his face heat as he let Kyle lead him from the docking bay, a hand resting at the small of his back. The other pilots sat in the officer's cabin in anticipation of Howard's arrival. Trowa, Quatre and Wufei were talking amongst themselves.

"I didn't know that Duo had a boyfriend." Quatre smiled.

"Well it has been two months since we last saw him. Its possible it began after he left." Wufei replied. Under his breath he added, "Not that I blame him, I'd go after that man myself."

Trowa frowned having over heard that. He didn't know why but that remark bothered him. A quick look at Quatre confirmed the same as he too was frowning at Wufei. If he didn't know better he would swear that he was jealous. But that was stupid, he and Quatre were together. Although adding Wufei would make everything perfect. Trowa blinked, where the hell did that thought come from. He was saved from further questions as Howard walked in.

"Hi boys, guess your be camping out here for awhile." Howard chugged down a beer. "The docs know you're here so that shouldn't be a problem. I can show you where your room will be and if your hungry, the cafeteria opens at 6am and closes at 10 pm." At that Howard got up and led the four down the hall. He stopped at 3 rooms. "These are the only room unoccupied so split yourselves up as you please, bye now." He walked off down the hall. Wufei and Heero glanced up at each other before splitting up and claiming separate rooms. Trowa and Quatre walked into the remaining room.

Quatre collapsed on the bed, staring at the ceiling trying to figure out his troubled heart. Trowa braced himself against the wall and frowned. "Why did the thought of Wufei liking someone bother him so much?"

Quatre rolled over on his stomach and picked at the pillow. "What is wrong with me?" The thought of Wufei being interested in someone made him nearly blind with rage. God was he really that selfish. He glanced up at Trowa and was surprise to see him glaring at the floor. "Trowa are you okay?"

Trowa glanced up in surprise. Oops, he forgot that Quatre could sense emotions. He bet he was sending out some pretty strong waves. He walked over to the bed and gazed down at his lover. "Quatre there's something that I need to tell you." He shoved his hands into his pockets wondering where he should start.

"Does this have anything to do with Wufei?" Quatre asked with a smirk at Trowa's dumbfounded expression. "Yes Trowa I think perhaps we both have the same problem so let's both say it." Quatre climbed to his knees and took a deep breath.

"I love Wufei too!" Trowa hugged the blond tightly to him as Quatre launched himself into his arms. "Well angel," Trowa asked rubbing his head against Quatre's hair, "what are we going to do about it?"
