How the hell did we wind up like this?

Sighing, Duo leaned back, cursing his luck at being stuck in a large congestion of traffic. Somewhere up ahead, an accident had blocked the entire road, police placing barriers up and directing traffic through a large detour. Glancing at his watch, Duo cursed under his breath. 15 minutes past. Heero would already be past security. How would he be able to see him?!

Looking at the dirty carpet beneath his feet, Duo sighed and thought, `Maybe, if I beg, they'll let me see him… I have to see him…'

"The traffic is moving now sir," the driver told him, causing Duo to nod and say, "Just get to the airport as soon as you can."

"As you say," the driver stated, exiting from the road and making his way to the airport.

Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed

And try to turn the tables

Running through the doors, Duo made his way to one of the ticket counters, asking the girl behind the counter urgently, "Do you make flights to Santa Fe from here?"

"Y-yes, we do sir. Why?" the shocked girl stammered. She hadn't even seen this guy in line! It was like he just popped out of thin air!

"Do you have a Yuy on the flight? Y. U. Y.?" Duo asked, not daring to hope for the wanted answer.

"Yes, we do…" the girl told him after she had checked her computer. "Are you wanting a ticket sir?"

"Can I possibly see him? Please, I have to see him!" Duo exclaimed, placing his hands in a prayer symbol and bowing his head to the girl. Eyes widening, the girl stammered for a moment before calling over her supervisor.

"What is it Marissa?" the supervisor asked, looking from the dark haired girl to the braided male.

"He wants to see one of the ticket holders Sir." Marissa explained, gesturing with a hand to the still bowed head of Duo.

"Does he have a ticket?"

"No."

"Sir, why do you need to see Mr.…" Looking at the computer screen, the man continued with, "Yuy so badly?"

"To mend a mistake!" Duo said, following with a desperate, "Please! If he leaves, I will never be able to see him again! Please…"

"I will go with you to the counter at the boarding gate. Just, please, stop making a scene sir." the man said, moving towards the small door that allowed people in and out of the ticket counter.

"Thank you so much!" Duo exclaimed, waiting for the man to exit from behind the counter before eagerly following him past security and towards the gate.

Now the story's played out like this

Just like a paperback novel

"Well Sir, this is the gate. Do you see Mr. Yuy anywhere?"

"Uh… Just a moment…" Duo said as his large indigo eyes skimmed over the sea of heads and faces, never finding the messy mop of hair that belonged to Heero. Sighing, Duo turned to the man and said, "I don't see him… I guess…"

"Duo!" a voice yelled out, causing the braided man to freeze as his mind processed whom that particular voice belonged to. Could he possibly hope that it was…

Turning, Duo's eyes warmed at the person that he was met with.

Heero.

Let's rewrite an ending that fits

Instead of a Hollywood horror

Looking up from his reading of the Time Magazine, Wufei glanced at the muted TV, eyes widening as he read the caption underneath the pictures of a car wreck on the roads. Lunging for the remote, he un-muted the sound, just able to catch the last few sentences of the reporter.

"…And, if you have any idea of who the victim is, please call the hospital. Once again, the victim was a young male, about in his twenties, with long hair and of slender build. If you have any idea of who this victim might be, please call the hospital with your information."

"Duo…" Wufei breathed, heart in his throat as he numbly reached for the phone and dialed the number displayed on the TV screen.

Nothing's wrong, just as long as

You know that someday I will

"You know, I don't know what to say, now that I'm here…" Duo said, unable to look Heero in the eyes. He was, instead, intently studying the geometric designs laid on the carpet, wringing his fingers with his hands as he nervously waited for whatever Heero was going to say to him.

"Well, what made you decide to come?" Heero decided to ask, eyes never leaving Duo's body. Watching as the other male ran his fingers through his bangs, he could only smile dryly as the braided male turned to the man who worked for the airline and ask, "Hey, could you step back a bit? I swear that we aren't terrorists, and we're not going to blow up anything. It is perfectly alright to be more than five feet away."

Waiting until the man had stepped back a few steps, Duo returned his gaze to his hands in his lap and said, "Well, I didn't want to lose you. Your call confused me so much Heero. I found that I still care for you. Deeply. But," Looking up, Duo hesitantly met Heero's eyes and told the Prussian orbs, "You hurt me Heero. You don't know how hard it was for me to finally decide to come here. All I really wanted to do was stay in my apartment and cry my heart out, to just run and hide. But, I do still keep my promise of never lying, so I had to come and see you. So, Heero, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"I just want you to know Duo…" Heero started, yet stopped once he looked deep into Duo's eyes.

`How can I go on? I hurt him so much, how can I expect him to love me again? How can I ask him to?' was all the Japanese man could think as he took in the swirling indigo pools of emotion.

Sighing, Heero stood, looking ahead and not facing the braided man seated beside him. "Never mind Duo. I'm sorry to have bothered you. Goodbye." Walking away, Heero did not look back for one last look at Duo.

He wouldn't have been able to see him through his tears anyway.

"I'm sure sir, this man is not the one you described. The person you are worried about was not the one in the wreck." the nurse on the other side of the phone said professionally.

"Thank God." Wufei breathed, eyes closing in relief. Duo was thankfully not the one that had been injured. "Thank you for your help."

"You are welcome sir. And, I am happy for you that he was not the man you thought he was." the nurse said before ending the call.

Replacing the phone to its spot in the cradle, Wufei stared at the machine before picking up once more, dialing Duo's cell phone number this time.

"Heero?" Duo called out as the other man began to walk away.

"Heero!" Duo yelled as he stood and began to reach for the Japanese man's wrist. However, Heero ducked through a sudden group of girls chattering about London, causing Duo's sight on him to waver. Once the two girls at the very end had passed, Duo fervently looked for his one time lover, yet was unable to find him. Feeling his phone vibrate in his side jean pocket, Duo reached one slender hand towards it, flipping it open and asking, "Yeah?"

"Duo! Where are you?! I saw a car wreck on the TV, and I was worried that it was you!"

"Wufei? Oh, the car crash. No, I got caught up in the traffic."

"So, you're coming home now?"

"Uh, no, actually I'm not. I'm trying to find someone, but-"

"Is it Heero?"

"W-what?"

"It's Heero, isn't it Duo?"

"Uh…"

"Because you are not denying it, I know it is."

"Are you paranoid or something Wuffie?"

"I heard the message."

`Well, crap!' Duo thought to himself.

"Have you met up with him Duo?"

"Well, yeah…"

"And?"

"I don't know."

"`I don't know' as in you don't know if you want to be with me, or with him, or `I don't know' as in `I don't know what I want for dinner'?"

"Which one do you think Wuffers?"

"Ramen is good."

"Fei!"

"Please come back to me Duo." Wufei suddenly said, the emotion thick in his voice. Blinking, Duo closed his eyes and told the Chinese man, "I'll try to do what's right Wufei."

Then he ended the call.

Sitting at his gate, Heero gazed out the large glass windows, watching as a small ray of the sun broke through the gray clouds. Leaning his head back, Heero closed his eyes and softly sang along with an old song that was playing over the speakers, one that Duo had introduced him to, ironically enough.

"Looking back at me I see

That I never really got it right

I never stopped to think of you

I'm always wrapped up in

Things I can not win

You are the antidote that gets me by

Something strong

Like a drug that gets me high



What I really meant to say

Is I'm sorry for the way I am

I never meant to be so cold to you



And I'm sorry about all the lies

Maybe in a different light

You could see me stand on my own again

Cause now I can see

You were the antidote that got me by

Something strong like a drug that got me high

I never meant to be so cold



I never really wanted you to see

The screwed up side of me that I keep

Locked inside of me so deep

It always seems to get to me

I never really wanted you to go

So many things you should have known

I guess for me there's just no hope

I never meant to be so cold"

"You really mean that Hee-chan?"

Walking dejectedly through the airport, Duo found himself singing lowly, the song somehow flitting through his head as he passed the many gates and eateries.

"Never made it as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing

Tired of living like a blind man

I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am"

Glancing at a mother and her daughter that were hugging each other, Duo felt his heart wench at such a show of love. Even though his and Heero's had been a different kind of love…

"It's not like you to say sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

for handing you a heart worth breaking

and I've been wrong, I've been down,

been to the bottom of every bottle

these five words in my head

scream "are we having fun yet?""

Watching as a young man played with a small infant to keep it from crying, Duo took in the sight as he sang to himself, "yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no"

Walking past the TV that displayed the cleaning crew on the road of the now famous car wreck, Duo sang under his breath, "it's not like you didn't know that

I said I love you and I swear I still do

And it must have been so bad

Cause living with me must have damn near killed you"

Watching as the TV changed to a commercial for an online dating service, Duo smiled wryly at it and continued singing, "And this is how, you remind me

Of what I really am

This is how, you remind me

Of what I really am"

Walking away from the TV and the commercial, Duo continued further down the airport hallway, gazing at the various monitors. "It's not like you to say sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

for handing you a heart worth breaking

and I've been wrong, I've been down,

been to the bottom of every bottle

these five words in my head

scream "are we having fun yet?""

Finding the correct monitor, he gazed at the times and places, singing softly, "yet, yet, yet, no, no

yet, yet, yet, no, no

yet, yet, yet, no, no

yet, yet, yet, no, no"

Locating the correct gate number, Duo turned, walking towards it and singing slightly louder, just enough for people to look at him as he passed, "Never made it as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am"

Walking towards the gate, Duo gazed at the picture perfect image Heero was creating as he looked out the window, somehow bathed in sunlight even though it was a cloudy day outside. Walking to him, Duo heard the last verse of a song that he was singing, the last words of his song playing in his head even as he said, "You really mean that Hee-chan?"

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

for handing you a heart worth breaking

and I've been wrong, I've been down,

been to the bottom of every bottle

these five words in my head

scream "are we having fun yet?"

yet, yet

are we having fun yet

yet, yet

are we having fun yet

yet, yet

are we having fun yet

yet, yet

Looking Duo in the eyes, all Heero could do was nod once those intense indigo orbs were focused on him.

"I'm willing to give you another chance Hee-chan. Will you accept?"

"You were the one who taught me to love Duo. And, the only one I ever will love. I will do anything for you." Heero stated, causing Duo to close the gap between them and wrap his arms around the other ex-pilot's neck. Dropping his duffel bag, Heero returned the embrace, burrowing his nose in Duo's shoulder and just taking in the feeling of having the other back in his arms once more.

"Will you go get me some fries?"

"I said I would do anything, not everything."

"Damn."

Well, one more chapter to go, but you don't have to read it. You see, my beta bugged me enough for a lemon, so I finally caved in and wrote one… depending on where you are reading will determine how much of the next chapter you actually get though…

Oh, yeah, choice A won, by the way… (^^'')
