thoughts
Heero Yuy was
sitting on a park bench; he wasn't waiting for anyone in particular. He was
just sitting there, thinking, after all with the war done with, what else was
there to do? After the war, he became a Preventer, working along side with
Wufei and Sally. Closing his eyes, he just enjoyed the sounds around, something
in which he never got to do before. Beside him, he heard a sigh; he opened one
eye to see a boy about 4 years younger than him. The boy was dressed in a
school uniform, complete with cap. Brown unruly hair, and dark brown eyes, he
looked a bit depressed.
"What's the problem
kid?" Heero asked.
The boy looked up,
"Girl problems."
Heero nodded.
"Anyways, that's all
it is, by the way, I'm Li Syaoran," the boy held out a hand.
Heero shook it,
"Heero Yuy."
Syaoran looked off
into the distance again, "Did you ever have a time where you can't tell a girl
you like her? Really like her?"
"Yes, and I still
do." Heero nodded, "Uh huh."
Syaoran frowned, "I
can't tell her, I've known her for two years, and I can't tell her!"
Heero knew it wasn't
any of his business, and yet, he couldn't help but keep listening, talking.
"Why's that?" Heero
watched the boy.
Syaoran groaned,
"Lots of reasons, for starters her older brother hates my guts."
"Sounds like
Milliardo." Heero smirked at
the thought of the older Peacecraft, "Don't have anything in common?"
"Nooo…" Syaoran
shook is head, "We have lots in common, science, martial arts… In fact we would
both like to take Eriol and ship him to some where far, far, away if given half
the chance."
"So he thinks as you
as a rival." Heero stated.
"Not exactly…"
"Not exactly?"
Syaoran shifted in
his seat, "Well, as strange as this might sound, when I first met Sakura,
that's the girl I like, we didn't get off to a good start."
"………"
"In fact I was down
right mean to her when we first met," Syaoran finished, Heero figured there was
more than that, but left it alone.
"Well, at least he didn't threaten to kill her about several times, then ended up saving her life."
Syaoran started to
get up and pace, "It was unbelievable, I was sent here to do a task, so I was
pretty cold to Sakura, no matter what, she still was nice to me. Me! It didn't
matter that I told her she was pathetic, it didn't matter I often glared at
her, she still smiled at me and treated me as a friend."
Heero smiled at bit,
"No matter how many times I threatened to kill her, or gave her my
deathglares as Duo has put it. She stilled followed me, still smiled and
trusted me," the pilot asked then, "So what about you?"
Li stopped his
pacing, "What about me? I mean. I always tried to do things without her,
convinced that I could do this by myself. In the end, I ended up helping her,
that was the last thing I wanted to do."
"Like I always ended up saving her, even though I threatened her life."
The boy shook his
head, sitting back down. Sighing, it was quiet for a while.
Heero figured it was
best to change the subject, "So, did you finish your task?"
Syaoran sighed
again, "That's the other problem, that task was finished over a year ago, but
I'm still here. I don't know why, but I'm still here."
"After the war, I
stayed to watch Relena, she doesn't know it though, but I watch her, to keep
her safe. I kidded myself when I joined the Preventers, the reason why I joined
was to be near her." Heero
given that last train of thought to Li, "Maybe you stayed because of her,
Sakura."
"Maybe…" Syaoran
trailed off, "What about you? Did you ever tell her? The girl you liked?"
"……… No, I haven't."
"Why not?"
Heero thought for a
moment, "Because I'm like you, our first meeting wasn't a good one, and her
older brother doesn't like me being around her."
"Tell me about it,
the last time Sakura's brother saw me around her, he looked ready to kill.
Yukito said that he has a sister complex."
"Milliardo has more
than a simple sister complex," Heero told the younger boy.
"Well Touya, has the
weirdest sister complex," Syaoran countered.
The two boys were
silent again. Syaoran studied the older boy, thinking for a while, before
talking again.
"You know, if your
eyes were brown, or if mine were blue. We could be consider brothers," Syaoran
said thoughtfully.
Heero nodded, "With
the same problems."
Again silence, Heero
noticed someone was waving to Syaoran. He nudged the boy, Syaoran looked up. A
girl with amber hair, and green eyes was running up to him. She was on roller
blades, with a school uniform, probably from Syaoran's school, from the look of
it.
"Syaoran! I've been
looking for you," the girl skated up to them.
Syaoran flushed
slightly, "You have?"
"Uh huh, Tomoyo
wants all of us to go to her house for a get together."
Syaoran looked at
Heero, then at the girl, "Uh… your brother won't be there, will he?"
"No… he's busy
today, why?"
Getting up Li takes
her arm, "Come on, we're taking a little detour, there's something I have to
tell you Sakura…"
"Hoe? Okay, we can
go through the park," Sakura nods, as the two walk off.
Before they
disappear, Syaoran turns around, and waves good-bye to Heero.
"Heero? What are you
doing here?" a voice asks.
Heero turns around
to see Relena standing in front of him, "Just sitting."
"Oh, well,
good-bye," Relena is about to turn away when Heero stops her.
Wrapping his arm
around her waist he smiles slightly, "Relena, we have to talk."
Relena is shocked by
this, but manages to nod as Heero takes her to a quiet place in the park.
Author's Notes:
Hehe, please read and review. Tell me what you think, and I hope not, but I
think Heero and Syaoran are slightly OOC.
