Trowa's Secret

Part 7



I couldn't sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about Heero, Quatre, and everything that had happened earlier in the day. I couldn't help but wonder why I was continuing to hide from Heero. It didn't make any sense anymore. Before, I was afraid that I was going to infect him. Now, with a cure for the first phase discovered, why was I still afraid of this?

Why couldn't I now make love to Heero? We could still use protection, and if something happens, and he does become infected, we could turn to the cure. Then again, what if Heero's body wouldn't allow the medication to take effect? He had told me how Dr. J tried to turn his body into a perfect machine by conducting experiments on him. What if one of those experiments caused his immune system to destroy such medication before it could help anything?

On the other hand, what if he couldn't even become infected with the virus? Now that I thought about it, I couldn't remember a time when he had gotten sick. Not even with a common cold. So who's to say that any kind of illness could affect him? If such a thing were true, then he would once again become a science experiment. Everyone would want to know why he wasn't affected by diseases. They would literally destroy him to find the answer. I wouldn't want him to go through it again.

Then there was the fear of him rejecting me, the way Quatre had. I don't know what I would do without him. However, they were two completely different people. Quatre pushed me away because he was afraid. Afraid of what he didn't understand, and afraid of dying. Though he would never admit it, that was his number one problem. He didn't want to die with a disease that some asshole gave him. I could understand that. I could also understand his fear of not fully understanding what it meant to be HIV positive.

Heero wasn't like that. If he didn't understand something, he made himself understand someway. He wasn't afraid of death. Regardless of how he were to die. He only saw it as part of living and that everyone was going to have to at one point or another. Which was why he never worried about it. Maybe I wasn't really afraid of him rejecting me. Maybe I was afraid of the fact that he would stay by me. Staying with me meant that he would have to set back and watch me slowly waste away.

I rolled over to look at the clock. I couldn't really tell what time it was. My vision had gotten too blurry. I squinted a little in hopes of seeing better, but didn't. I then looked over at Wu Fei. He was sleeping peacefully and I didn't really want to bother him. I was already causing him enough problems. I closed my eyes and turned over again.

I was starting to doze off when someone woke me. It took me a moment to recognize that it was Wu Fei. He was sitting on the edge of my bed asking if I was all right. It was then that I realized how cold I was feeling. In fact, my body was trembling from the frigid sensation. At the same time, I was sweating as if I had a fever. It was strange that inside I was freezing, but on the outside I was burning up. This never happened before.

As Wu Fei performed a quick check up on me, I couldn't help but wish that Heero was here. I felt a little childish wanting him the way a kid would want their mother, but I did. When Wu Fei finished, he ministered an injection and told me to rest. He then continued to watch over me the way he always did until I would fall asleep.

"You probably think I'm weak." I said softly, not really wanting to sleep yet.

"After everything I've watched you go through in the pass two years. . .I could never think that of you. I just think you're being a coward by not telling Yuy about this. He cares a lot about you."

"I know. . .but every time I try to tell him. . ."

"You think about Winner and what he's done to you because of what you are." Wu Fei was the only person that I had told everything to.

"Yeah."

"I can understand that, but you're forgetting something Trowa. They're not the same person. They're as different as night and day. To hide like this from him is wrong. Wrong to him. . .and to you. You shouldn't have to face this alone. He could probably help you a great deal, if only you let him." I knew he was right, but why did I deserve it?
