He hates himself for never confessing his love to Heero Yuy, a war-weary mecha pilot running from his past all the way to the Phobos Project—the first manned mission to Mars. Duo longs for the man he loves, but doesn’t know where he is. Can they find love in each other’s arms? And what of Heero’s mysterious collapse when he arrives on Earth to search for the one he loves?
"Everywhere I Look " Chapter 15 So, the hospital thing. It just about knocked me out when he told me about it, but he acts like it's not that big a deal. Hell yes, I was upset. But you can't argue with him on that point--or at least I couldn't, not with him sitting in front of me wearing the biggest, sloppiest grin.

If you've been to oxygen bars, then you probably know pure oxy is still used by athletes to boost performance as well as for recreation. Kind of like a drug with no bad side effects. But Heero passed out from it. And you know why? Here's the bombshell: Heero overdosed on oxygen to the point that it knocked him out and even threatened to cause some cellular damage because the higher-ups in the military deliberately thinned the air the Phobos mission team is breathing. |
