Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ The Heero Perspective ❯ Midnight Terrors ( Chapter 2 )

The sound of continuous ammunition rounds being fired off rang in his ears. His whole body shook with the vibrations of the high caliber machine gun and, though it wasn't too much for him, his task was beginning to be. Blood spattered the walls like thin, red paint; the droplets left trails in their race with the artificial gravity. And as the bodies piled- some alive and more not- the stench grew, causing him to gag. He closed his eyes…

And awoke with a gasp. Duo sat next to him on the bed, a worried expression marring his normally smiling features. His eyes were lit with shadows of dark and light, and Heero got the feeling the boy knew it wasn't the present that scared him, but the past.

The small smile that appeared briefly on Duo's face was reassuring, and Heero gave into his weakness, allowing himself to be drawn into the strong arms.
