"You know who Alex is."

 

"Yeah. The guy on the phone said it. It didn't take me much to figure it out."

 

"I can't say I'm happy to hear or say that name again, but I guess the past followed me any way."

 

"It did, but I don't know all the facts yet. I know I don't have any right to ask you this, but what was Alex like, before the bad things happened?" Duo was quiet and I began to think I asked him something that should never be brought up again. "You don't have to tell me."

 

"No, I'll tell you. You might as well know now since you're involved by default any way." He smiled at me and sat apart from me a little, taking in what I looked like, I assumed. Cocking his head to the side, he gave me an odd look, before asking. "No matter what I say, it doesn't change how I feel about you. I'll tell you what I felt for him at the time, but now it's gone."

 

"Don't tell me things you don't want to repeat."

 

"You have the right to hear them.

"Alex was a kind person in many ways. He always kept his head on straight and always thought what he wanted to say before he said it. I know that only because it always took him so long to answer me. The way he would look at me could make me blush in an instant. It was a look of love, but also it was as if he was trying to read my every move.

 

 

"Once when we were walking, I stumbled over a curb and he was there to hold me up before I had even know I had tripped. I didn't mind him reading into my actions then, but when he used that insight to his advantage against me, it really hurt. I knew he was possessive and in a way I loved him for it. It's not the same as protecting me like you do at all. It was like he was making sure no one could get close to me when he was around. Even Quatre could tell that and he asked me about it a few times.

 

 

"There was one time when we were at the club and I was working the crowds that Alex got really mad. He accused me of cheating on him with Quatre because we were dancing together and the way we were dancing made Alex think I had done things with Quat that I hadn't done with him. I told him he was an idiot to think that, especially since Quatre is one of my closest friends. Besides the fact that Trowa and Quatre were together a lot longer than Alex and I were. I would never do something like cheating on my own boyfriend and betraying my friends. I don't believe in doing that and he should have never accused me of it in the first place.

 

 

"After we settled down, Alex apologized and took me back to his place and well, we did things." Duo blushed and looked away.

 

 

"You did things? Like what?" I asked.

 

"He gave me a hand job and spent the rest of the night just pleasuring me with his touches. He had this golden yellow hair that was normally so well kept except when we were doing things like that. I used to love stroking my hands over his hair and caressing his scalp as his ragged bangs tickled me. I guess I have a hair fetish too." He shrugged.

 

"I know that you do, and I don't mind because I think mine is even worse."

 

 

"Yeah, you definitely have a hair fetish." He teased.

 

 

"Wrong." He looked at me puzzled. "I have a Duo hair fetish." I laughed at his bewildered expression, but he couldn't help but laugh as well.

 

 

"You have a point there."

 

 

"So what else happened with Alex?" I asked, hoping that Duo would tell me a bit more.

 

 

"Well, he loved to dance and go drinking with my friends. He didn't seem to like Trowa and Quat that much, but he did take a liking to Noin. She's a spitfire and a half. He always liked to piss her off and see how long she would keep her cool before she exploded on him a few times.

 

 

"I haven't seen her in a while though. She took up a job in a security force and loves it so much that it is pretty much her life."

 

 

"Sort of like dancing and making people have fun is your life." I told him. It was the truth after all.

 

 

"Yeah sort of like that, except you forgot something."

 

 

"What did I forget?"

 

 

"You. You're a part of my life too. The same with all my friends and how they're around me all the time. Anyone and everything I love completes me and is a part of my life."

 

 

"I know, and it's the same with you. You're a major part of my life and it's going to stay that way." I said fiercely. I drew Duo back into my arms and held him tightly. He didn't seemed to mind and laid his head on my shoulder while he made himself comfortable in my lap.

 

 

"Alex was kind like you are, but he also had a violent temper." I felt Duo shudder in my arms and I tightened my hold on him. "There were some days when I would go over to his apartment and we would be having a nice time and he would get a phone call that really upset him. It was as if a transformation had happened and he let a beast out of a cage to cause chaos and madness in it's wake."

 

 

"Did he ever turn on you when he was like this?" I was afraid of the answer, but I had to ask to sate my own curiousity.

 

 

"No, not at first. The only time he was violent towards me was when he tried to 'take things further' in our relationship. Other than that he was always, I don't know, tender with me I guess. His touch was so light on my skin that I thought it was a ghost sometimes. I couldn't believe someone who could touch me like that would also be the one to rape me." Duo's voice was a hushed whisper by now, but the trembling stopped at least.

 

 

"I don't know either Duo, but I do know you never deserved to be treated like how he treated you at the end." Duo snorted at that, but then drew in a deep breath.

 

 

"The sad part is... if it wasn't for him doing what he did to me, I would have never met you. I wouldn't know how loving, how gentle, how wonderul you treat me. I wouldn't know what love truly is if he hadn't raped me and you found me. If I could turn back time to prevent it, I don't think I would, because I needed to meet you. I need you like I need air Heero. I need you so much I would die just to keep you!"

 

 

"Shh...hush Duo. Don't say things like that."

 

 

"But it's true. If I had to die to save you, I would do it in a heartbeat. I don't care what happens to me as long as your with me!" Duo practically shouted.

 

 

"I know you would, but if you did I wouldn't be too far behind you into death. You're my heart and without you I cannot be." I whispered to him and stroked his hair. His grip on me tightened and even though it was painful, I didn't want him to stop.

 

 

"I think that's all you need to know about Alex, Hee-chan. I sorry I hugged you so tight." Duo looked away sheepishly.

 

 

"It's alright. How about I take you out for lunch, my treat?" I offered.

 

 

"Can we go out for pizza?" Duo's eyes lit up instantly, and no more thoughts of the past were on his mind now that his stomach was offered pizza.

 

 

"Whatever you want my Duo. Whatever you need."

 

 

"Then let's go to Pizza Hut!" Duo squealed in delight, and that's exactly where we went.
