I like how Duo is (apparently) saner than Heero but still knows how to reason in a way that Heero can understand. I also like how this ends...Heero still awake, still tense. Duo reaching out to him can't and doesn't solve his problems all in one go.
My god. I'm amazed. They're perfect, so in character it hurts. How Heero is messed up, and Duo too in more subtle ways, and the dysfunctional way they deal and -- ahhhhh. Duo trying to help Heero a bit, for so many possible reasons -- maybe one, maybe all of them, and Heero of course thinking it's manipulation to make him useful-- I love it. It deserves a better review but I can't kick my brain in gear. But the vivid in-characterness and interaction, oh god. yes. yesyesyes.
I really liked this, especially how Heero both does and does not recognize what Duo is trying to do. I can imagine Heero twitching at Duo keeps talking and talking...
Also, the bit where Duo lists their respective accomplishments totally made me laugh.
