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 " “What’s wrong?” Chang Wufei said. “You
know thischannel is only for —” “He wants to talk to you,” Sally Po said to
her husband. After a moment of silence, Wufei said “Oh. So —” “And there’s something else.” Wufei’s eyes narrowed. “What?” “I don’t know, exactly,” Sally said.
“Something I can’t put my finger on. I laid out the facts
just the way you told me to. He’s every bit as sharp as you said,
Wufei. When I told him you’re the Preventer in charge of the
investigation, he immediately changed.” “How?” “He took charge of the conversation. He asked for
a laptop and Grid access. It wasn’t quite like he was giving
me orders, but he was all business.” “On a mission.” “Exactly.” “He asked if I could let you know he wanted to
talk. I told him that would be harder than getting him a laptop, but
he pushed. He assumed I had a way of reaching you in case of emergency
and asked me to use it.” That’s Heero all over. “Then he asked me to tell you that if you wanted
his help, he was willing to discuss it.” “Then what was odd?” Wufei said. “What he said exactly was, ‘If Wufei decides
he wants me on his team, then’ — and then he looked away
without finishing his sentence. Just stared at the wall.” Wufei said nothing as he considered this. “When I said, ‘Yes?’ to prompt him to
continue, he apologized and said, ‘Just tell Wufei I’m interested
in helping.’ He didn’t look at me. And his voice was quiet,
almost meek.” After a pause, Wufei said, “I understand. Tell
him I’ll be in touch.” “You think you know what’s going on in the
back of his mind?” “Maybe,” Wufei said. Sally knew not to push her husband. It wasn’t his way to speculate. Once he’s certain, he’ll tell me in his own good time. If he tells me at all.
