Table 7, #07 - Tangled and Dark
Rather than wake Heero with his restlessness, Duo slipped out of their bed, and went to stand in front of the bedroom window like a clichéd actor in some cheap drama. But, he could still feel the brick rough and cold against his cheek, still feel the damp concrete beneath the second (or third) hand jeans, threadbare to the point of obscenity, and the stench of rancid garbage was so strong in his nostrils, he wanted to gag. The same dream - nightmare - that had been his life from before, before the orphanage, before a bungled snatch and run became a lifetime change; the dream of haven in the niche in an alley wall behind the dumpster of a twenty-four hour diner.
He turned from the window, and watched Heero sleep in the dark. His haven was no longer that damp and dangerous place, and in less than five steps, he was there with Heero sleepily pulling him back to bed, nuzzling cheek to Duo’s chest.
