Trowa's Secret

Part 14

I stared at Heero standing at the front of the class giving his presentation. He never had a problem talking in front of a large group of people. His speech had everyone's full attention. . .then again, it was hard to ignore him. It was somewhere near the middle of his speech that I started to feel lightheaded. I was sick earlier this morning when we walked to class, and Heero had suggested that I stay in the room. I refused. If I start missing classes, it would give Helix an excuse to admit me. I didn't want to go into the clinic.
The class erupted into applaud when Heero had finished. He reclaimed his seat next to me and asked if I was all right. I only nodded for I was feeling a little dazed. I tried to focus on the next student's presentation, but I had a rough time. My eyes were blurring and the familiar nausea kicked in. I felt Heero take my hand in his.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He whispered.

"I'm fine." I assured, knowing that it wasn't true. My presentation was next. I closed my eyes and tried to build up my strength to be able to stand in front of the class for my ten minute speech.

"Trowa, if you don't feel you can do this. ." He was worried about me. I looked up at him and forced a smile to my lips.

"I can handle a little speech." I attempted to laugh, but it didn't surface. I tried to be strong for him. He knew this. He understood that I wasn't one to give up easily. In truth I wasn't sure if I could stand when it came time for me to do as much. Somehow I managed to make it to the podium safely. Standing was making me more nausea than sitting. It also increased my dizziness.

I started my speech perfectly. It was delivered as I rehearsed it, however, after the first few lines I started to forget what I had prepared. When I glanced at my cue cards, I found that I couldn't read them. I could feel the professor step up next to me.

"I know you've been through a lot lately. If you can't give your speech right now, I can reschedule you to another day. Will that be okay?" I could hear his voice, and I tried to answer, but my body wouldn't cooperate. "Trowa?" I fought against the sickness. I could feel the beats of sweat forming on my forehead as my body started to tremble. The next instant, my legs gave out from weakness as I collapsed. In a heartbeat, Heero was hovering over me in concern. No, not concern. . .fear. I could see it plainly.

"Trowa, can you hear me?" I only stared into his eyes. I couldn't find my voice. Heero spoke again, but this time he was too far away and muffled for me to understand what he was saying. I closed my eyes and focused on his voice in hopes that it would bring me back, but he stopped talking. I tried reopening my eyes, but they were too heavy. My senses seemed to slow to a stop. I was no longer aware of my surroundings. I couldn't even feel Heero's touch any more.
