"Rings" - added 06-apr-2002

A ficlet from Heero's POV. He discusses Duo and some plastic rings Duo gave him years ago when they were in a school together, and the importance of those rings to him years later.

Very sweet, sentimental story.

This always makes me terribly sad when I read it, though it has a satisfactory ending. It's Duo's POV - he and the others are at a school and he's called into the Dean's office and accused of being a homosexual. Forced into counseling by the Dean (which he needs to go to to maintain his cover) Duo becomes very bitter about his life and how he's treated. A kind-hearted man also forced into these "counseling" sessions teaches him how to start to accept himself, his friends, and get on with his life.

The OC in here isn't really a main part, so don't shy away because of that. Duo still pines after Heero throughout, but after being forcefully dragged from the closet, he's fairly certain the pilots won't ever consider him the same way they used to.

This is very heartrending writing. Having grown up with a homosexual and having watched how his "friends" and family treated him when he came out, I can say this is a true-to-life story....and I probably shouldn't have re-read this just before going to bed, because now I'm depressed.
