wickedgameff: Heero/Duo: scary and sweet
Halloween Drabble 30
"I'm not insane," Heero said for the fourth time, leaning wearily back in his chair, his eyes meeting Quatre's evenly. "And I'm not suicidal."
"Could've fooled me," Quatre replied, the corner of his mouth turning downwards. "You've sold off all of your possessions, given away all your money-"
"I won't need it anymore."
"How can you say things like that and still protest that you aren't suicidal?" Quatre shook his head. "Heero- I know these last three days have been hard for you, but Duo wouldn't want-"
"Duo told me that he'd come back for me. My time is running out." Heero glanced at the other two pilots standing by the door of the small containment cell. "Don't any of you believe me?"
"He didn't mean right away," Trowa said quietly. "And he had to be half out of his mind from the pain-" He shut his lips tightly when Wufei and Quatre glared at him.
"Duo promised me. Three days he said. Just long enough to wrap everything up."
"Heero- we know you miss him, but-"
"You don't know anything." Heero's words were sharp, but his tone wasn't. "Duo never lied."
The other three pilots exchanged a look.
"Heero-" Quatre started again, and the door blew open. Trowa and Wufei jumped, startled, and peered out into the hallway. Trowa blinked- was that laughter he heard? Familiar laughter?
"What the hell?" Wufei muttered. "There's no one on this floor...."
"Heero...?" Quatre's voice made them both turn around. Heero was slumped over in his chair, very still.
Even as they worked over him, the other three knew it was useless. Heero had gone to join Duo.
