Summary: Heero não consegue tirar Duo de sua mente.
He was tired. His body bruised and his soul broken. The war was finally over and now, he, a childe of blood was a war’s orphan. Everything and everyone he knew was destroyed or dead.
Heero didn’t know what to do. He didn’t have a reason for live, a purpose. He dind’t have a home to go to. Nauseated, his only wish now was to die. Throw up all the humanity left on him. His breath was harsh and his heart sounded like a bird on a cage. Uncontrollable. Almost exploding.
Heero seated on the floor, his back leaning on the wall, and an old tune came to his mind. That song describes him perfectly. All his being was in that song. Whispering, he started to sing. His voice soft, quiet. A voice no one would connect to him, ever.
I´m not a perfect person
There´s many things I wish I didn´t do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I´ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
His mind quickly flew to Duo, the song forgotten momentarily. Duo… his long haired friend disappeared a few months ago and not even Hilde knew of him. Heero was desperate although he didn’t show it. He started to sing again, his voice quieter, lower. By now, the wind was louder that the song.
I´m sorry that I hurt you
It´s something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear
I´ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You
He almost laugh from the irony of that. Yes, he always knew that Duo, the braided baka, was his reason even when he himself hadn’t realized or admitted that out loud. He doubted he ever would.
Something warm and wet dropped from his eyes, his mind never connecting it to tears. The song stopped once again. He realized he was crying. And laughing. Heero didn’t even dare to imagine what the others would think if they see him like this. The song came to life again.
I´m not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I´ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
Relena. That damned girl still follows him like a lost puppy. He hated that. Trying to make he fall in love with her. Trying to mend his soul. That silly obsession of her would someday kill her. He wasn’t a noble hero, always ready to save the ‘damsel in distress’ and if she didn’t realize that in time, she would die. If she wasn’t so important, a damned symbol of peace, a peace they fought so hard to achieve, he would have killed her already. He couldn’t be fixed, didn’t need it.
I´ve found a reason to show
A side of me you didn´t know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
He felt protected, warm. The tears stopped and his eyes showed a peaceful shine. His heart was slowing down, finally sensing the blood loss. Arms circled around his waist and the familiar voice sounded on his ears.
“I’ll be here”, Heero felt a soft single touch in his chest, close to his heart. “Always”
The room was empty, but he could recognize that voice anywhere. Duo was there, waiting for him, for his last breath, for his eyes to close, for the eternity together. He only sang the last part of the song and closed his eyes, his breathing stopping. And the wind carried the last vestiges of the song, of the last human voice to sound on those corridors.
“And the reason is you…”
