Fusion of Flesh and Silver

Dear Readers,

I love challenges brought down upon myself, now, I'm wondering what would happen if I issues a small challenge to you? I know I write many stories of which people want to see a sequel come out on it. So, here is the challenge I am proposing to any daring enough to accept it. You may write an AU of this story, or you may write a sequel. I will be watching for those who accepted my challenge. I just want to see this idea move many of you to do something with the idea of Heero, and Duo in this fic. A POV, or Crossover maybe? Well, this is the ending chapter, so please continue to make this idea thrive beyond this story. You don't have to give me credit or anything, just write something for this challenge, please!

Yours Truly (And still begging.),

Chapter 8

Heero woke to find Duo gone from his usual sleeping spot and nearly panicked thinking that someone might have had taken Duo away from him. "Duo?", Heero asked worried, he searched the living room, only to find a note on the coffee table, "What's this?",

.....

Dear Heero,

Do not worry about me. I'm fine, I just had someplace I needed to go to get this one thing done. Just wait for me at the house and I'll be home shortly, it's just... All of this is so sudden, I know. But, I'm going ahead with it for you, Hee- chan because I love you. Wait for me to return.

With Love,

Duo

.....

Heero blinked at the note, before wondering where the hell Duo could have gone. But, he shrugged deciding that Duo would show him once he got home. In the meantime, Heero wanted breakfast, so he decided to settle down on the couch with a bowl of cereal.

.....

"This shouldn't hurt, should it?", Duo asked, looking up into the eyes of Dr. G.

"It won't hurt you a bit, Duo, just relax, besides you know we won't allow anything harmful to happen to you.", Dr. G spoke.

"If he does, I'll kill his ass.", Trowa chuckled, his one green eye dancing with delight.

"Now, Duo, breath deep, and count backwards from one hundred kay?", Howard told him, placing something over his nose and mouth.

Duo started to count, "100, 99, 98, 97, 96.... 95.... 94.....93......92.......91.......90", he fell into a deep slumber.

"Now, bring me the plans, and the parts needed for this.", Dr. G told Howard, "And Trowa, if I go to make any wrong cuts, tell me.",

.....

It was already five o'clock and Heero was beginning to worry about where Duo had gone off to. Was he in danger? Was he hurt? Heero couldn't stand it. He stood, slicing tomatoes with his scythed hand. Soon, it was six, then seven, then eight o'clock....

.....

Duo woke bright eyed and bushy tailed, and wanted to see himself right away. He ran to a full length mirror, and looked over himself. "It's perfect...", He whispered, "Just perfect.",

.....

Heero kept glancing back up at the clock, it was eleven fifty five. "Duo... I wish you were here with me.", Heero found himself whispering.

Heero started to pace the room again, only to jump at the sudden sound of the doorbell ringing. Heero rushed to answer it, only to be shocked by Duo's smiling face. "Hi, Heero- kun.", Duo smiled.

He wore an ankle length, black trench coat, and black gloves. Heero wrapped his arms around Duo, about ready to cry about how worried he was and everything when Duo patted his shoulder. "I have something to show you.", Duo whispered in his ear.

Heero slowly backed away. "Heero, I want to love you, but, it seemed to me it would hurt you even more when I.... When I left this place forever, with you trapped here because you can't truly die.", Duo explained, "So, I went to go see if I could do anything... I've found there was only one way to be with you forever.",

Duo slowly slipped his gloves off, then the trench coat, Heero gasped. Underneath, there where areas of silver metal showing on Duo's body. One whole arm was now silver itself, Duo smiled, "I wanted to get that done so we would look somewhat a like.",

"Oh, Duo, you didn't have to-", Heero started.

"I didn't, but I wanted to, for you Heero.", Duo whispered, "So we could be together forever, no matter what happens around ourselves.

"Oh, Duo!", Heero gasped.

Duo gently tilted Heero's chin with his hands. "For you, koi.", Duo whispered.

They kissed, the intermingling of flesh to flesh, and metal to metal... Two beings that would love each other until the end of time.
