[At the Hospital]

The low beep of the monitor seemed almost too loud in the small room. Heero was in the ICU (intensive care unit) and according to the doctors the amount of chemicals in Heero's system was extremely high. They had said that there was almost no chance that Heero would make it through the night. Duo sat on the edge of the hospital bed; he had been there since they had arrived. Silently Duo cried clutching Heero's hand like it was his last thread of sanity.

The door opened and Dr. J walked in, his face blank. Trowa rose to meet him, “J, I'm surprised to see you.”

Acting surprised Dr. J replied, “I came as soon as I heard. How is he?”

“For now he's alright. The doctor's say he might not make it through the night.”

“Heero is like a son to me, I don't know what I would do if I lost him.”

As Dr. J said that the room fell into an uncomfortable silence. Quatra stood and gave J his seat. Had they have known the danger Heero was in, they might have been more alert. Though…would it have done any good?

 

Heero felt a shudder run through him, looking up he saw that Duo was crying. “Duo, what's wrong?”

“Heero, why won't you wake up? I need you.”

“Duo, I'm right here.”

“Please wake up…I don't want you to die…”

“Die? Why would-?”

“Please Heero, wake up…”

Heero was getting slightly annoyed at this, “Duo, I'm right here!”

Reaching up to touch Duo's face he watched in horror as his hand moved straight through it. “W-what's going on?!!”

The small angelic figure looked at him and smiled sadly. “Listen to him Heero. If you don't wake up, you'll stay here forever alone.”

The word alone echoed in his mind sending fear through the man. “What? I don't-“

“Heero…” Duo muttered again.

Heero covered his ears, not wanting to hear the desperate and broken cries Duo had to offer him.

 

They all jumped as Heero's heart rate accelerated quickly, causing the monitor to beep loudly. A doctor rushed in followed by a nurse. Taking out a needle they pushed medicine into the IV. Everyone watched in horror as Heero's heart rate only went faster and they all feared the worst. Duo watched with blank eyes as the doctors worked frantically to help Heero. It was odd that even though his heart rate was through the roof, Heero's expression hadn't changed. He looked calm and collected. “Please…” Duo whispered softly “; please wake up Heero…please…”

 

The pain that stabbed at Heero from all sides was agonizing. Clutching his chest he curled up and whimpered. Duo's words reached him, “It's okay, it's okay, you're safe now. It's okay…Shhh…I'll protect you from everything I promise.”

Duo's promise echoed in Heero's head, looking up he saw Duo staring blankly at him; his lips moving as if trying to speak. Heero jumped toward him and to his surprise he could feel Duo. Heero buried his face in Duo's neck and squeezed his eyes shut.

 

“Duo…”

It had been a whisper, though it was real. “HEERO?!” Quatra jumped up from Trowa's lap.

“Duo…” Heero repeated.

Duo smiled, “I'm right here, I'm here Heero.”

Heero's eyes remained closed, but a beautiful smile pulled at Heero's lips. “Duo…what-”

“Shhh don't try and talk. Rest, you're safe now. You're safe.” Duo whispered.

Duo ran his hand over Heero's cheek, smiling for the first time in days. Quatra tackled Trowa, crying into his shirt. (Wufei had passed out a while ago, it was that damn needle that did it…I swear…) Everyone felt the ominous clouds that had hovered over them for days vanish, and they all seemed to melt at the first warmth of the sun. Heero's hand tightened around Duo's, and though Heero's grip was weak it pulled Duo out of the depression he had been in. “Duo,” Heero began again, “I had a dream and you were there. You kept telling me to wake up; though I couldn't reach you…it was like I wasn't there…”

Heero's ramblings didn't make much sense though Duo smiled and said, “I'm always here, I knew that if you heard a familiar voice that you could follow it and back to us.”

Heero nodded and gave a smile. Duo felt his heart melt at the sight, Heero smiling was something unheard of; but he was glad that he was the one making him smile. “You should have seen the place,” Heero continued to mumble, “it was beautiful. It was a field covered in white lilies, and I was lying beneath a willow tree…” Heero fought within himself to tell Duo that he had been in his arms. Heero wanted that to be a reality, to feel that warmth and safety that he had felt then. Duo smiled and whispered softly, “Rest, you've had a long day.”

 

My girlfriend told me to stop here but don't worry, I'm working on the sixth chapter. (by the way, I am a GIRL) my girlfriend also told me to say that…anyway…I'll continue to post as much as possible as long as you review this…k? (Kidding, writing is my passion…) Though I probably post stuff faster if you reviewed…oh well…
