It had to be a long time before I was aware of anything happening around me. The sound of beeping and hushed words tried to wake me. I felt warm flesh covering my hand as I struggled to focus on the chaotic sounds and make some sense out of them. The harsh smells of antiseptic and alcohol stung my nose as I breathed a bit deeper and willed my eyes to open. But when they did I saw my beacon and he was beautiful.

 

Even worried and scared, Duo was beautiful to me and his grip never wavered as the doctor told him the condition I was in. My chest still hurt but not as much as before. Strangely enough there was also this numb sensation that I couldn't figure out. Why did I feel numb and my head felt like it was stuffed?

 

Wait a minute. No, it couldn't be...

 

“All things considered Mr. Maxwell, your friend is a tough patient ans pulled through with little difficulty. The device we removed has already been handed over to the police and hopefully they can figure out who did this to him. When he fully wakes up and has stabilized we'll ask more questions. I've already informed the nurses of your intention to stay for the night and they won't give you any problems. Have a pleasant evening.”

 

They operated on me! Again? At least the device was out, which was a relief but still... If the cops found out that the device was linked to H and S then they might do something even worse than planning to bomb a building or make any more idle threats. This was just the beginning. They could be planning something so much bigger than-

 

“Stop thinking and just rest Heero. I know you're awake, but worrying isn't good for you so you need to stop it.” He whispered in my ear and stroked my bangs away from my face. “There's the man I love.”

 

“What happened?” I croaked out. My throat hurt and felt too dry. Duo blessedly noticed and grabbed a cup with a straw in it and let me take a sip of cool refreshing water. Pulling it back when I was through he sighed and looked at me hard for a second before leaning in to kiss me gently. Then he pulled back and looked away.

 

“They said you had a heart attack. A very severe heart attack due to that thing inside you. I told them it had caused you to show every sign of a heart attack. You kept clawing at your chest and saying you felt like you were dying and I was so scared you were. You were out of it so bad and then you just suddenly became so still. I thought that-” He looks at me with tears in his eyes, showing me all the pain that he felt. What agony I must have caused him then and to relive it again now while telling me is hurting him even more. Tears roll down his cheeks as he tries to voice what he has seen.

 

“I thought you were dead while they were working on you. They said your heart stopped and you weren't breathing for a few minutes and dragged you into the OR as fast as they could. That's when they found the device in you and detached it from your heart and gave it to the cops. I told them about the doctors. About J and G, and S and H and where to find them. They'll get them and put them away for being the sick bastards that they are.”

 

“J is already dead Duo. G won't be found, he's too crafty to stay in one place too long. S isn't even so bad but H deserves whatever he gets.” I explain to he and Duo turns to glare at me so hard I think my eyes might catch on fire.

 

“How could you defend them?! Look what they've done to you what they made you do! Those bastards aren't even human, Heero! They tore you apart and took you away from me to become something you shouldn't have and for what?! So they could get what they wanted at our expense? That's selfish and wrong and criminal and they should be locked up for the rest of their lives if not longer!”

 

“Then shouldn't I be locked up with them?” I reply softly. Duo's stunned silent as I manage to look at him finally. “Shouldn't I be locked away for all things I've done? Gods Duo. I raped you. I couldn't stop it, but still. I did that crime to you. I'm as bad as they are.”

 

“Shut up!”

 

“Duo.”

 

“I said shut up! You are not like them. Never in a million years could you be like them. Yes. You did that to me, but you had no choice. It was whatever your brainwashed mind decided to make you do then. You weren't conscious of the decision so it isn't your fault.” Duo adamantly stated.

 

“It still doesn't change anything-” And just when I thought I might be able to convince him, he kissed me... for a very long time before releasing me and cradling my face with his gentle hands.

 

“It changes nothing. I still love you. And I'm sorry you had to do those things, but I forgive you for them. You weren't in control then, but now you are and I'm not letting you get away from me. So there!”

 

The way he said it made the rest of any argument I had fall flat and fade away. There was no way I would win so there wouldn't be a point in saying anything. I sighed and saw Duo finally smile before seeming to come to a decision and crawling into the bed with me.

 

I made room for him even though I couldn't move much and my stitches pulled but it was worth it to have him closer to me even if I still didn't think he should.

 

He seemed to be reading my mind though and poked me in the ribs.

 

“Deal with it Yuy. You're not getting away from me so just relax and go back to sleep. I'm making sure I can keep an eye on you even if I fall asleep too.”

 

“So you have a third eye to keep a look out for me?” I joked.

 

“You know what I mean. Now shut up and get some shut eye before I poke you in your stitches. You'll have a scar right over your heart once you've healed up.”

 

“Probably. But the only one who will see it with be you right?”

 

“Absolutely. No one else is allowed to eye up you unless they walk in on you in the shower. Think of those possibilities.”

 

“You're horrible Duo. But I love you anyway.” I snickered.

 

“Right back at you tough guy.”

 

He nuzzled into my side making sure not to put pressure on my operation site but still held me tight around the waist. If I was completely honest with my self, I had missed this part the most. Just sleeping with Duo next to me gave me a golden comfort that no one else could replace. And even as my eyes got heavier and I knew a land of dreams would take over I was content to let Duo keep watch over me as I let my aching body relax and get that needed rest Duo had mentioned.

 

TBC...

 

Short update, I know. But I had to leave it off there for now. So as always tell me what you think and always Review!
