Cyberficcy Drabble 2
"He wasn't supposed to go by himself!" Heero snarled at Une. She met his gaze evenly, her eyes dark and shadowed.
"I didn't have a choice! You know how bad things are getting. We're already spread so thin. I did try to convince him to wait for you, but he insisted."
Heero cursed and turned away from her. "You should've stopped him."
"Heero- you know what was involved- you know how he gets- And you were on your way back-"
"I didn't get there in time!" He turned on her. "I got your message and I rushed, but I didn't get there in time- and his suit was.."
He closed his eyes and covered his face. This body couldn't weep, but he wished it could. He wished he could block out the memory of Duo's suit, twisted and crushed...
"He's alive," Une reminded him. Heero didn't reply. He had seen Duo- knew the extent of his injuries. "The doctors are working on him- you know they'll do their best."
The door swung open and G appeared. He looked tired. "Duo's asking for you."
"How is he?"
"Bad," G shook his head. "Not many options left. Go see him."
Heero went, and found Duo waiting for him. He focused on his lover's face, ignored the equipment surrounding the bed, ignored the rest of Duo's body- now hidden under a sheet.
"Hey," he said softly and Duo's eyes opened.
"Hey," his voice was weak. "Wanted to see you."
Heero touched his cheek. "How are you love?"
"Not the best," Duo smiled faintly. "Wanted to see you before the docs started. Wanted to tell you it was my choice."
Heero frowned. Duo's choice? He looked around at the equipment and his eyes widened at the sight of the container in the corner. "Duo-"
"I'm dead without it." Duo met his eyes. "I want this love. I can't be away from you. Not ever."
"Are you sure?" Heero swallowed hard. He wanted to argue- wanted to find another way-
"Very sure. Asked the docs years ago to build me one, just in case." Duo smiled again. "Can't be separated, you know that."
Heero gently touched his cheek. "I know that."
G coughed behind them. "It's time."
