Not Your Fault Duo hissed softly and the fire spat and crackled. He was unsure what to do or say. Peering at the silent blonde he found a shuttered look, eyes closed, pale lashes against high pale golden cheekbones. Milliardo seemed to be carved of the finest marble, cold and rock solid in the silence. Chang was a dark shadow beside him, face pressed to Milliardo’s shoulder, fine black hair cascading loose from the tie that refused to contain it. Both of them were such a study in pain that Duo looked helplessly to Heero hoping for some sign of what he should do. Yuy looked enraged. His eyes were fierce and he glared at Chang’s lowered head as though he wanted to strangle the man and Duo shivered. He personally thought this was not the appropriate time for bringing up that subject but what would be the best time for broaching something so tender? Heero met his gaze and Duo could see the struggle there to find something to say or do that might diffuse the situation. Zechs might explode, he could not discount that possibility and in his currant state Duo was no more eager to become physical with him than Heero seemed to be. In all of the war Zechs was the only one they had found who seemed to challenge them on a personal level and there had been something between Zechs and Heero that still was unexplained. One on one it would have been an interesting fight and Duo would not know which of them to put his money on. “He intended to die.” The husky voice rumbled into the silence of the cabin with a profound weariness that tightened Duo’s chest. “At the end he had determined that to die was the only way to establish peace. At the time I could not forgive him. It seemed to mock everything we had worked for. I fought for a future where we would be together and he denied me that. He told me he wanted me to be the one to do it.” Duo lightly ran his fingers over the shining white gold hair. “It’s okay.” “No. It’s not. It never will be. I have a better understanding of him now but I still can’t quite forgive him for forcing the issue. It’s not your fault that when I failed to kill him he went looking for you, Chang.” “I did not… I did not think I would win the duel and… and I did not. He… I am sorry.” “He made certain he would die. Not your fault. Nothing to forgive.” “Yet I ask it anyway. Forgive me.” The shining pale hair cascaded over his shoulders as he lowered his head, drawing his knees up to rest his chin. After a long while his head lowered further, forehead now resting on his knees and with a ragged indrawn breath the husky rumble again filled the cabin. “Forgiven.” End |
