The glass shattered, spraying the boy with glass and water. //This is it,// he
thought. //I'm going to die right here and right now, something I was never able
to accomplish on my own. How pathetic.// But there was another feeling in him,
something other than disgust, and he realized that it was a feeling he had never
registered before. It was fear, cold, harsh, and it left a bitter taste on his
tongue. Heero did the only thing he could do before the water swallowed him
whole. He screamed...and screamed, and screamed...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------< br />
Duo whirled around to face his lover with wide unbelieving eyes. It wasn't that
he didn't believe his lover was in danger, or even that Heero couldn't take care
of himself. He had just never heard Heero scream or show any sign of real
distress before. Come on, he had watched this guy set his own broken bones the
first day they had met. Acting as quickly as he could he grabbed Heero by the
shoulders and forced him away from the crowd that had turned to stare at them.
//Great, Quatre told us not to draw attention to ourselves but who would of ever
thought Heero would snap like this?// "Heero do you hear me? It's me!" he said
frantically as he shook the dark haired boy.

"me?" Heero said in a weak voice once his screaming had subsided. "who?"

"Me Heero, you know me...sometimes you call me Duo or koibito, but if I've been
really good, you'll tease me and call me Baka.." Duo said, trying to keep his
voice from trembling with unexpected fear. What was wrong with his koi? Had he
finally snapped? No. He refused to consider that excuse. He pressed himself
against Heero's chest and held him tight, at a lost for what to do other than
that.

Heero's eyes cleared and he blinked a few times as his sharp eyes focused on the
long chestnut braid. A few tendrils of hair had escaped and framed the side of
Duo's face as he pressed the braided boy closer to him.

"Heero are you...." he got no further than that as Heero pressed a finger to his
lips.

"Lets not talk about this okay? Lets just go back to the safe house," Heero said
as he stroked the loose hair behind Duo's ear before standing up and heading
with much dignity as possible out of the aquarium.

"This if far from over Heero," Duo whispered under his breath as he ran to catch
up with the departing Heero.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Heero never noticed the two dark, ominous eyes that peered at him from the
unscathed shark tank. The boy just didn't know what he was up against. To damn
bad, because when he found out it would be to late and nothing he did then would
make a difference on the outcome. I was sure of that..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------< br />
"Heero?"

"I said I don't want to talk about it!" Heero said defensively as he stormed
back up to his room and slammed the door behind him.

Duo huffed and took a seat on the recliner in the living room looking over at
Trowa and Quatre.

Trowa had covered Quatre's ears so his love's slumber wouldn't be interrupted by
the bickering couple. "What happened?", he asked Duo softly, gesturing towards
the direction Heero had stormed off in.

"Nothing," Duo said a little bitterly as he made his way into the kitchen to
make himself something to eat since they had missed dinner.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------< br />
//Oi...I wonder what that was all about...// Trowa thought to himself as he
picked Quatre up and took him to bed, he'd have to ask his little lover his
opinion in the morning.
