AN: I changed some of the lyrics and there is some OCCness for Heero. This is pretty short for a songfic, but I wrote it for something else and realized it fit GW perfectly, hope you like.
Update: I just went through and fixed some typos and added some words and a key.
Disclaimer: I don't own the song "Teardrops on my Guitar" or Gundam Wing.
Key:
"Speaking."
/Lyric./
Again I'm here. Guess I'm just a masochist at heart.
"Hey, how's it going?" I ask happily, smiling at him. He laughs.
"You're always smiling aren't you, Duo?" He wonders out loud, chuckling as I make a face at him.
/He looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see/
I shake my head. "What's not to smile about? I'm hanging out with my good ol' buddy, ne?" I respond, throwing an arm around his shoulders.
It's hard to resist the temptation to pull him into a hug.
But I do, I always do.
/That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be/
He shakes his head and leans on me, tossing his arm over my shoulders too. He doesn't notice my little blush, my smile just a little brighter.
"Man, remember that girl? The one I told you about, the pretty blonde one? She talked to me yesterday!" He said, all excited and glowing. So cute.
"Aww, someone has a crush!" I joke and poke his nose, hiding the twinge in my heart.
It's always her he brings up.
/I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about/
/And she's got everything that I have to live without/
We joked about her and how pretty she was. To him I'm just one of the guys.
How I long to be more than that, much more…
/He talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny/
"Maybe she's got a cute brother, huh?" he tells me, elbowing me suggestively. I laugh and push him, blushing.
"Yeah right, not a chance bub, you can't play matchmaker at all." I say, wanting to grab him and shake him, tell him there's only one person for me: him.
/That I can't even see anyone when he's with me/
At school the next day he was all a flutter, blushing and smiling shyly. Clutching the girl to him and showing her off.
He introduced her to me, I smiled and told him congrats for the miracle. They both laughed at my joke.
He told me he's in love.
That night I cried myself to sleep.
/He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right/
/I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night/
He asked me if I'd play the guitar for them one day, seeing as I'm learning how from my dad. I said sure.
I don't really want to, but if it'll make him smile…
/He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar/
I wish he'd see me, but now I only wish him joy. Sad, huh? I'm really pathetic. I'm in love with my best friend who's engaged to the popular girl.
Sad really.
/The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star/
Nowadays, he asks me how I'm doing. Wonders why we don't hang out as much, I laugh and say because he's in l-o-v-e.
The truth is…
It's too painful to see him smile that special smile at her. Just her.
/He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do/
He laughs and jokes about the old days with me, always laughing.
He asks me why I stare at him and I poked him.
"Because you're gorgeous, you idiot." I laughed. He blushed and ducked his head, reminding me of his fiance, jokingly of course.
/He walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?/
/And there he goes, so perfectly/
I played at his wedding.
I practiced for months till I did it just right. He told me it was perfect and hugged me when I finished. I was so happy…
Then he grabbed his new wife and dragged her off to dance.
/The kind of flawless I wish I could be/
/She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love/
/Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause/
I cried then, I lied and said it was because I so was happy for him.
I was, but that's not why I cried.
/He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar/
/The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star/
/He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do/
We've kept in touch since then, phone calls and letters.
From best friends to pen pals.
Who'da' thought?
/So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light/
/I'll put his picture down and maybe/
/Get some sleep tonight/
That's okay though, as long as he's happy… I can stand a little sadness.
And a few more teardrops.
/He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar/
/The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart/
/He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do/
/He's the time taken up, but there's never enough/
/And he's all that I need to fall into/
I sometimes wish for the old days when his smile was just for me, and I was the one he ran to.
But it wasn't meant to be.
So I'll just keep smiling for him…
/He looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see/
I'll never let him see me cry…
AN: What do you think? Worked hard on this one, so I hope you liked it.
