Notes : I have written
this before I wrote Confusion of the Heart,
and I still haven't finished it
yet.... so..... expect long chapters *sweatdrops*Cross My Heart Part 12
It was almost in the
middle of the night, but Duo Maxwell found himself still wide awake on his bed.
He couldn't sleep. He felt he had done something wrong...... Maybe he shouldn't
have followed Anne's suggestion to tell Heero and Mario about them. When he saw
Mario kissing Heero, all he wanted to do was to rip the other boy into pieces,
but the way Heero opened his mouth willingly and let Mario's tongue snake inside
hit him straight to his heart. Heero seemed to enjoy the kiss and didn't leave
Mario's lap to welcome him. Duo couldn't help but feeling hurt. He quickly
announced about his relationship with Anne and left. Although his mind said he
had done the right thing, his heart shouted that he had done something
wrong.
Duo sighed and stood up. He walked toward the window, noticing the
gentle rain had turned into harsh storm. The weather seemed to agree with his
mood. Duo watched the hectic weather for a while, not really looking into it
since his mind flew back to the time when he was having happy time with Heero.
The time when Heero was giving him a slight smile, just for him. The time when
Heero melt in his arms and leant his head on his shoulder. The time when he
kissed Heero's soft lips.....
"Damn!" Duo hit the side of the window,
fending his anger to the wood. Memories couldn't bring Heero back to him, it
only reminded him of his losing of Heero instead. Duo rested his forehead on the
window's glass and looked into the darkness outside. How stupid he was to think
Anne will be able to replace Heero. He had been on the girl's side for the rest
of the day but he felt nothing. He felt so empty and knew only one person could
fill the void inside him.
"Heero...." Duo murmured longingly and felt the
throbbing pain in his heart as he remembered that Heero wasn't his girlfriend
anymore. Heero was Mario's now.... Duo gritted his teeth and clenched his hand.
No.... he didn't want to see Heero with Mario any longer than necessary.
Tomorrow he would ask Anne to give him the microchip and then they could leave
the school....
Suddenly a light caught his eyes. Duo frowned and leant
closer to the window. He could see a figure, holding a flash light, walking in
the rain, heading toward the forest behind the dorm. There wasn't a sane person
would walk in the middle of heavy rain like this, not to count it was also in
the middle of the night. Duo's eyes narrowed as a suspicion was formed in his
mind. Could that be the spy Anne had said to him this morning?
Without
thinking further, Duo opened the window and jumped out. He followed the
flashlight, not caring about the heavy rain that was hitting his body and made
him wet within seconds. Duo narrowed his eyes and followed the figure, careful
not to make his presence known. The figure brought him deeper into the forest
and toward the small cabin he never knew existed before.
The figure
entered the cabin while Duo crouched silently outside and pasted himself on the
outer wall. The rain was so heavy that he didn't hear anything from inside the
cabin. He approached the window and peeped inside. A lightning bolt blinded the
sky, followed by thunder, and illuminated the room inside the
cabin.
There, Heero was lying on the wet floor on his side, bound and
gagged. His uniform was torn here and there while Mario knelt next to the
Japanese boy, grinning while holding the flashlight. The scene made Duo's blood
run cold but his eyes burned with rage. He ran toward the door and flung it
open.
The surprised Mario never had his chance as Duo's fist cracked on
his face and a kick delivered to his groin. Duo didn't think. He moved on
automatic pilot. Mario wobbled and shouted in pain while his hands reached down
to protect his abused crotch. Duo used the chance to deliver two more punches to
Mario's stomach, knocking out the boy instantly.
After delivering two
more kicks to the unconscious Mario, Duo turned away and knelt down next to the
bound figure. "Heero...." Duo choked in disbelief. He had seen Heero just fine
this afternoon. And now.... Now.... Heero was anything but fine. His heart ached
as he checked his partner's condition. The Japanese boy's body was soaked. His
eyes were closed, his sleeves were ripped and his mouth was stuffed with a large
gag, causing his lips to be torn and bleeding.
Trembling with rage and
also worry, Duo rolled Heero to avoid the leaks and then untied his arms and
legs. The welts on Heero's wrists and ankles, the proof of Mario's too tight
binding, increased Duo's anger.
Mario would pay for
this.
Dearly.
But it should be done that later. For now, Heero's
condition was the most important one. Duo set his anger aside and focused in
helping Heero. He removed the gag from Heero's mouth and wiped the blood around
the Japanese boy's lips. Duo could feel Heero trembling in cold and knew he had
to warm him up as fast as he could.
Duo stripped Heero from his wet
clothes. He wrung the clothes and dried Heero as best as he could with the
already damp clothes. Duo also stripped his own wet clothing, not wanting to
make Heero wet again and wrung his braid as well. After that, he lifted Heero up
and was surprised to find how light his Japanese partner was. He knew Heero
wasn't usually this light. How much weight Heero had lost? What had that bastard
Mario done to Heero ? He had been wondering to how could Mario subdue Heero
while the Japanese boy was much stronger than the big boy, but now he knew the
cause. Heero was very sick and weak. God, he was so blind not to notice Heero's
condition right away.
Duo gently put Heero on the bed where there were no
leaks on the ceiling above. He really wanted to settle the matters with Mario
right now, but Duo knew he had no time for that. He had to ensure Heero's safety
first. The heavy rain made his plan to carry Heero out of the cabin and to the
dorm was out of question. He didn't want to make Heero get sicker so Duo settled
down with tying Mario and dumping him out of the cabin, letting the heavy rain
hit the big boy.
After locking the door, Duo retrieved the flashlight
from the floor and put it on the table, pointing it to the ceiling to enlighten
the whole cabin. He then lay next to Heero on the bed and gathered the trembling
boy into his arms before pulling the cover over their naked bodies. Duo winced
when Heero's cold body touched his and hugged the Japanese boy tighter, sharing
his body heat with him.
"Kuma..?"
Duo was startled when he heard a
weak whisper. He looked down as he felt Heero snuggled into him, eyes still
closed. Was Heero dreaming or delusional?
"Miss you,
Kuma...."
Again the weak whisper. Duo had to think for a minute before he
remembered where he ever heard about this Kuma person. Kuma... Kuma... Right! It
was the name of the bear he gave to Heero. He had been laughing when Heero named
the bear as Kuma, the Japanese name for a bear. Okay, it wasn't important right
now. The question now was why Heero thought him as Kuma.
"I'm not Kuma,
Heero." Duo spoke slowly.
Heero frowned as he heard his Kuma spoke to
him. This might be a dream. His Kuma never spoke to him, no matter how often he
spoke to it so this had to be a dream. But his Kuma said it wasn't Kuma......
"Who...?" Heero croaked weakly. His throat was still burning, making him
difficult to speak and his headache also still pound on him, making it's hard to
think. Heero felt like walking in the fog; he felt like floating.
"I'm
Duo."
Heero wanted to chuckle but his sore throat didn't allow him. His
Kuma was really kind to pretend to be Duo. But Heero knew Duo wouldn't ever hold
him like this anymore. "Not Duo, Kuma.... " He snuggled deeper. "He doesn't want
...... to be near me.... "
"Why not?" Kuma asked him.
"He's
angry...." Heero hid his face against his Kuma's chest. Hm, strange... in this
dream his Kuma wasn't so furry....
Duo was surprised at Heero's answer.
The Japanese boy seemed to be delirious and thought him as the bear. He wondered
why Heero thought he was angry and decided to use this chance to get more
answers from Heero, feeling Heero wouldn't tell him if the boy was in his normal
self. "Why is Duo angry?"
"......... I let... Mario ....... " Heero
whimpered. "I don't want ...... you know that, Kuma....."
Duo's heart
ached as he heard the heart broken voice. He understood what Heero was saying
and it gave him more questions. "Why do you let him if you don't
want?"
".... Told you... before..."
"I seem to forget." Duo kissed
Heero's head, wondering what Heero was feeling when he told the bear. "Tell me
again?"
A weak nod on his chest, before Heero's breath brushed against
his chest. "For Duo...."
"For me?" Duo was startled.
"..Duo... not
you ...Kuma...."
"For Duo, okay." Duo was confused. Every time Heero
answered one question, it produced another ten questions inside Duo's head. "Why
did you do it for Duo?"
"...give Duo.... antidote...."
Duo really
frowned this time. Antidote..... Heero did it to get an antidote for him....
Something wasn't quite right here.... Anne had said she had the antidote, not
Mario. "Didn't Anne have the antidote?"
A weak nod from
Heero.
"Then why did you have to accompany Mario when Anne had the
antidote?" Duo was really confused now.
"Her conditions..... have to
leave Duo ... at her care.... and accompany Mario...... till Duo awake.....or
Duo ...die."
Duo was shocked. Totally shocked. Heero's last answer had
supplied his mind with enough information to guess what had truly happened since
he fell unconscious. Duo gritted his teeth and asked the last question that
would finish the puzzle. "Was Anne the one who poisoned Duo?"
A nod from
Heero was all he needed to start cursing and swearing. He did it silently
though, not wanting to disturb Heero. That bitch.... Duo seethed with anger.
Mario was horrible enough but Anne was completely appalling. She had dared to
use her spy position to gain advantages of him. Duo bet she never told Heero
anything about what she told him this afternoon. And she probably made up about
the OZ spy story. This was completely unacceptable. Anne had failed as a spy and
she would know the punishment once Duo met her.
"Kuma... " Heero's voice
drew Duo from his murderous thought.
"Yes, Heero?"
"I miss
Duo....."
Heero's words made Duo realize another thing. Heero had done so
many things for him while he was unconscious. Heero's action had passed the line
of a partner he used to be. Right now, it seemed Heero treated him like a lover,
not like a partner. Added with the fact Heero honestly admitted that he missed
Duo made the braided boy glow in happiness despite his worry over Heero's
condition. "Do you love Duo?"
"'course, Kuma...." Heero nuzzled Duo's
chest. "I love him so much."
Heero loved him!!! Duo felt like shouting
and jumping around, bursting with happiness. He never thought Heero would easily
confess his feeling. In his happiness, Duo couldn't help but to lean down and
kiss the Japanese boy. Heero loved him!! The thought only made Duo intensify the
kiss. He could feel Heero's bruised lips and made a note to add more punches for
Mario. Suddenly he heard a distressed whimper from Heero. Alarmed, he broke the
kiss and checked his beloved. "Heero?"
"Don't kiss me...." Heero
whimpered. His hands were on Duo's chest, wanting to push Duo away but he was
too weak to do it. Duo was shocked at Heero refusal, but before he could do
something, Heero whimpered again. "Stop it, Mario. .......... don't touch
me...... stop marking me.... I don't belong to you....... no...... not
true....... Duo.... "
"Heero?" Duo choked out the question.
"I
belong to Duo.......... Duo marked me first...... claimed me.... stop it......
stop touching me........ stop kissing me..... I'm not a slut........ Duo....
help..... please wake up......"
Duo was shocked. He was so shocked that
he was frozen while Heero whimpered the words again and again. He almost didn't
believe what he heard. The broken whimper, the suffered plea..... Was this what
Heero was doing every night since he fell unconscious?
"Heero..." Duo
choked out the name... Heero had pleaded him to wake up. He did wake up but then
what did he do? He turned to Anne instead of saving Heero from Mario. He even
encouraged Heero with Mario....... Duo gritted his teeth as his hands curled
into fist. He felt so many emotions welled up inside him. Anger, helplessness,
shock, surprise, disbelief, confusion, guilt, and sadness, all mixed inside him,
making him not know what he was feeling at the moment. He reached for Heero,
wanting to comfort him and at the same time comfort himself, but the boy
recoiled and curled into a ball.
"Don't....." Heero whimpered as he tried
to distance himself as much as he could.
Duo's heart broke at the broken
plea. The way Heero uttered the single word could describe how much the boy was
suffering. A past image flashed before him. The scene of Heero snorting with
bleeding lips.
//He's disgusting.//
Stupid! How stupid he was.
Heero had told him that he didn't like Mario's kiss and he had forgotten about
that.
//So you better not let anyone else kiss you.//
//I
won't.//
Heero's eyes were full of determination at that time. He should
have known Heero would never want Mario again. How stupid he was to believe
Anne's bullshit and forget all Heero's words. Duo swallowed the sudden lump in
his throat before speaking softly. "I'm not Mario, Heero."
No
answer.
Duo then realized Heero had stopped whimpering when he was having
the flashback. "Heero?" He tentatively put his hand on Heero's shoulder. The
Japanese boy was still trembling but he didn't recoiled from the touch. Duo did
a quick check and found out Heero had fallen asleep. It lookedlike Heero was
really tired and so weak that his body couldn't produce enough heat to warm
himself. Duo quickly gathered the Japanese boy into his arms again and hugged
him tightly, sharing his warmth with the trembling boy.
As the rain kept
hammering outside the cabin, Duo found himself dwelled in his thought while his
hand stroked Heero's silky hair idly. Although the main puzzle had been solved
but a few tiny puzzles still remained unsolved. Why did Heero think he would be
angry with him? When did Heero realize he loved him? How did Heero could get the
feeling that he belonged to Duo? And why did Heero say he had marked Heero while
all they did was kissing?
Why?
Why said he claimed him?
He
never claimed Heero....... right?
