Duo stretched lazily in bed, feeling the warm light on his face. He turned over in the covers, and felt around for Wufei, only to find an empty space where he should have been. One eye cracked open, seeing the covers neatly made on that side of the large bed.
'Musta gotten up early again...might as well go find him. Maybe I'll tell him today...maybe...' Yawning, Duo got up and out of the big bed, and threw his legs over the side. Rubbing his eyes as he walked towards the bathroom, he never noticed the note on the desk by the door.
*~*~*
"Hey Quatre, you seen Wufei?" Duo said, poking his head through the doorway, braid swinging. Quatre was standing at the counter of the large kitchen, fixing sandwiches. A pair of large aqua eyes looked up and smiled.
"Why no, actually, I haven't. He hasn't been in the house all day. Maybe he's in the garden out back?" Quatre said, looking at Duo's worried face.
"Hey, good idea! I'll go check!"
"Duo, wait!"
The braid came swinging in first, and then the head. "Yes?"
"Why are you so worried?"
Duo came fully into the room, an un-natural frown on his delicate features. "I dunno, I just got this bad feeling this morning when I woke up. It's like...I can't feel him anymore...like he's just not here...It's crazy, but something tells me he's gone..."
Quatre smiled, then frowned as well. "Duo, when are you going to tell him how you feel? It's driving you to the edge, I can tell. You need to get it off your back."
Duo smiled at the slight blond boy. Quatre was the only one who knew how he felt about Wufei. "Well, I was hoping that maybe I would tell him today, if I could get the courage up..."
Beaming, Quatre replied, "That's wonderful, Duo! Remember, if anything happens, you can always come talk to me, okay?"
"K'" With that, Duo ran out the door to find his lover.
*~*~*
Duo collapsed on the couch in the living room of the safe house, totally exhausted. He had been searching the entire garden for the last 2 hours, looking for a glimpse of white clothes. To no avail. He had no idea the gardens were so big on Quatre's safehouse.
"Did you find him?"
He looked up to see Trowa leaning against the doorway. "How did you know...?"
"Quatre told me." Duo raised his eyebrows, but didn't comment.
"Oh...no, no I didn't find him. I looked everywhere, but he's just not here...I need him...I mean, I need to ask him about...ahh...the mission we're supposed to have in a couple days..." Duo finished lamely, trying to cover up his worry for the Chinese boy.
Trowa shook his head. Didn't the baka realize his feelings for Wufei were so obvious? As well as the fact that Wufei felt the same way? "Duo, I know you're in love with Wufei."
Duo's head snapped up, his mouth dropping open in shock. "But, I-"
"It's so obvious to everyone that you are in love, except to the two of you. You really need to have a talk about your relationship."
"He's right, Duo." That was Heero, from the other side of the room. He was leaning against the wall, watching the two talk. "It's obvious. You just refuse to admit it to each other, when that is the exact thing you need to do."
Trying to cover up his emmbarassment, Duo managed to sqeak out, "I think you two have used up your word quota for the day, don't you?"
Rolling his eyes, Heero merely grunted under his breath, "Baka."
"Why don't you go take a shower? Then see if he comes to dinner. You two can talk afterwards."
Nodding wearily, Duo got up and moved towards the stairs. "See ya guys. And, thanks..." With that, he climbed the stairs to his room.
When Duo was gone, Heero turned to Trowa and said to him, "And you? When are you going to tell Quatre?"
Trowa winced. "Well, I don't know how he would take it..."
"You are so lame."
*~*~*
Duo came out of the shower, and plopped on the bed, towel drying his hair. His eyes were still closed, enjoying the warmth left over from the hot water. So unlike L2, where there was so little water...
Reaching blindly to the desk/dresser, he felt around for a band for his hair, but came up with an envelope instead. Confused, he opened his eyes and stared at the white paper in his hands, reading and re-reading his name in the neat, small writing of his Chinese lover. A feeling of absolute dread filled his soul, and his heart froze.
'O no.'
Holding his breath, he carefully opened the letter, and read the neat writing. When he reached the end, his eyes filled with tears that flowed freely down his cheeks.
He sobbed, and then opened his eyes again to re-read the note-
~Duo~
By the time you read this, I'm already to far away to come back. I am very sorry for not staying to say good-bye, but I am a coward, and could not stand the thought of facing your rejection. I love you, Duo, more than you will ever know. I left because I could not stand being around you, with you at night, and not being able to express my true emotions for you. I wish I could have had the strength to tell you to your face. From now on, you will have to find another person to find physical release with, because I can not stand it. I love you, and always will, till the end of time. Please do not try to track me down, for it will all be to waste. I have hidden myself well. Good bye, dearest.
Wo ai ni~
Chang Wufei
Crying, Duo laid back on his bed and covered his face with his hands. When the pain in his heart became unbearable, he rolled off the bed and held his knees to his chest, sobbing.
'O gods...Wufei...my love...koi...o why didn't I tell you...I never got to tell you...ai shiteru...I love you...I won't let you leave me...no way in hell are you leaving me with out knowing the truth...I'll find you Chang Wufei. So help me, I'll find you. I'm not letting my only true love run away from me without knowing how I feel.'
"I'll find you, my love...I swear I will..."
*~*~*
"...I swear I will..."
Wufei opened his eyes, waking from his light sleep on the plane to Earth. Had he heard something? He could of sworn he had heard Duo's voice.
Smiling sadly, he shook his head. No it couldn't be Duo. Duo was far behind him.
Looking out the window, he whispered to the cool black space, "Wo ai ni, Duo. Wo ai ni."
