The wars are finally over and I couldn't be happier and more upset. I went down to find Heero after he blew a hole in the hideout Marimaia and Dekim Barton were using. I could hear my heart shatter when I found Heero lying in Relena's arms. I knew this would eventually happen but it still didn't stop the hurt I felt. So I did what I always do, I ran.

I ran back to my gundam and took off. I didn't know where I was going but I just had to get away. I hid my gundam in a dense forest and tried to forget how I felt for Heero. I didn't leave my gundam for a couple of days. The only reason I left was because Quatre and Trowa found me and yanked me out of it. They took me to where they were staying and helped clean me up. After staying in a gundam for three days, I was pretty nasty.

When I felt clean again, Quatre kept nagging me to tell him what was wrong. After only an hour of nagging I caved. I just couldn't keep it inside anymore. So I told him the whole story. He just listened and it felt good to get everything off my chest. We sat in silence after I was through then finally he said, "Duo, either you tell Heero or you don't. It's your decision to make, just make sure it's a decision you can live with."

Then he left. I thought about what he said for the better part of the day. I knew I was running away because I feared Heero's reaction, but if I run away now I would be running all my life. That's when I decided, that no matter how scared I was I wasn't going to run away. I would stand and tell Heero how I felt even if he killed me.

The party was in full swing and I was having a grand time with Sally. I had already met Wufei earlier and told him that I had forgiven him. He was surprised but I knew he would be. I just smiled sincerely at him then escorted Sally to the dance floor.

I danced with Sally through two songs and could tell that Wufei wanted to come out and dance with her but something was holding him back. I didn't know how to get him to come out to the dance floor either. I tried to think up ways to get Wufei to come out here and cut in, but I was coming up with nothing.

Then I saw a hand come up and tap Sally on the shoulder. We stopped and looked at Wufei. He bowed slightly and took Sally's hand, "May I cut in?"

I smiled and gave him Sally's other hand and watched them dance. I turned around and found two piercing blue eyes on me. I was a little surprised but I smiled as I recognized Heero. I walked towards him and offered him my hand. Even if he does refuse, I will just tell him here.

"Want to dance?"

I look at him hopefully, but knowing it will be just like other times and he'll say no.

"Yes."

I stood frozen to the spot. Did he just say yes? I can't believe it. Oh my god…he's smiling at me. He looks so beautiful like that. Before I know it I'm dancing with him. I can't believe he actually said yes. Maybe he does have feelings for me even though that is a little too much to hope for. But finally, I can say what I wanted to say for a while now and not be afraid that he'll beat me to a bloody pulp. I open my mouth to confess to him but instead, "So Heero where are you going to go now?" pops out.

I mentally slap myself for chickening out. I steel up enough courage to tell him what I want to say. As I open my mouth to speak, he says something first.

"Wherever you're going. If that's okay with you?"

I froze in shock at what he was implying. It takes a few minutes for my mouth to catch up to what my brain is trying to say. Then finally when I do speak, I stutter.

"Wha…why?"

"I love you."

I can't believe he beat me to it. Wait! He said he loved me. ME! LOVED ME! Oh my…oh my…This is just too much…
