For a long time Duo didn't notice Dick. His focus was very far away, locked on something else. When he found a small moment of self-awareness he realized there was a hand by his head and a voice, very familiar, in his ears.
He knew that tone of voice, it was the 'please don't jump, there are people that still love you' tone that went with a disaster and a heartbreak.
And Dick was using it on him.
Duo reached up with one hand and caught Dick's. His fingers felt very cold when he wrapped them around the other man's. He could feel a pulse beat under skin, it matched the hard distant hammer of his own. "I need to burn him," Duo said, and felt his voice crack like a splintered bone, "Can't be locked in the ground." He took a breath. "Need to burn him. Me."
