Be My Friend?
Chapter One: Psyche (Beta-ed Version)
Kattie
Important note: This is the sequel to "Star's Gaze" which is the sequel to "Bravest Eyes". If you feel like reading this by itself, go ahead, but it will be confusing. This is not meant to be a read-alone fic, but I'll try my best.
Warning: Major angst. Your basic Quatre-torture fic.
Note: Instead of using parts of anime songs, as in the last two fanfictions, this one will be using episode titles from various anime. The one who guesses them all (Title of anime and episode number) will get a prize! Yay!
Another Note: I spell Hiiro with to i's instead of two ee's. I think it's stupid that they dubbed a Japanese boy's name to be easier to read in English. I don't support dubbing people of Japanese ethnicity's names so please do not but me about this because I've gotten a million flames about this and I'm not changing it. sniff sniff If you do e-mail/review me on this subject, I will not be pleased.
Disclaimer: "Hiiro, I won't permit you to die until you have killed me." - Trieze
I've been wondering about this. If Wufei killed Treize, then does that mean Hiiro will live forever? (I did not write this quote because I did not write Gundam Wing, nor design any characters or take any part in creating it. Also, I do not own it. sniff sniff)
I've been wondering other things as well:
If home is where the heart is and Quatre's an empath, is he at home wherever he is? Or maybe he's just comfortable everywhere? scratches head
Couldn't Duo have put his hair in a bun and have had the same effect that he wanted with less effort? He'd have his hair up out of the way and wouldn't have to go through all the effort of braiding it.. Then again, it wouldn't look half as cute ^_^.
Why does Trowa wear a half-mask? Is he trying out for "Phantom of the Opera"? Or did the creators realize that his face is far too beautiful to remain completely hidden?
If Wufei is Chinese, then why does he practice Japanese martial arts? I've been watching Chang fight (mostly looking over episode zero again and again ^^*) and he is definitely using a Japanese martial art. ... Then again, it is a Japanese-made show.. coughs (I was getting desperate) so sue me ^^***
Lawyer: I think I will.
Kattie: blink blink .. But if I owned Gundam Wing, would I point this out? ;o smooch
Lawyer:......... maybe. advances
Kattie: Gah! I don't own Gundam Wing!!!!
Lawyer: ^_^ I always win smooch.
Dedication: This is dedicated to Lunaray. I actually got to work on this for youhands over a rose.
Duo had been arguing with the nurse for nearly 15 minutes, before it truly caught on fire. Up until that moment, the victor was unclear, and the battle could go either way, but soon after it began it was obvious who would be triumphant.
"I don't need a wheelchair!" Duo raged.
"It's a custom!" The nurse spat, "It doesn't matter if you need it or not!"
Taking a deep breath, Duo ran a hand through his bangs and tried with all his might to calm down. "Miss," he said with a forced softness in his voice, "I'd rather walk. I've been in bed for two weeks. I'd like to stretch my legs!" Duo lost his newfound state of serenity as he reached the end of his sentence.
Quatre and the doctor stood next to each other awkwardly. Neither of them wanted to be here, lacking a jacket in this harsh storm. But if they began to leave, they would most definitely be noticed and dragged into it. If that happened, it would be impossible to remain politically correct.
"So," Quatre said to the man by his side, "When did you get into medicine?"
"Oh, so you assume I'm unmarried? You just ASSUME I'm a "miss"! Well, I'll have you know my husband and I have been married for 25 years!"
The doctor sighed. "I finished my internship last year."
"I'm not using a damn wheelchair!"
Attempting to ignore the two people feuding only 6 feet (1) away, Quatre smiled at the doctor. "That must have been hard work. I'm glad it paid off."
"You sure as Hell are!" The nurse snapped, "You don't have the strength to walk on your own!"
Offering a weak grin, the doctor nodded appreciatively, "Thank you. It was hard work."
"I can too walk!" Duo yelled, getting up to his feet, "Seeeeee?"
"I don't care if you can do a back flip, you're still using the wheelchair!"
"No!"
"IF YOU DON'T SIT DOWN RIGHT NOW I'LL MAKE IT SO YOU'LL NEVER WALK!"
Grumbling something about "evil nurses" and "damn wheelchairs", Duo grumpily took a seat. "Only because you asked so nicely." He muttered under his breath.
"Do you want me to roll you off a cliff?" The nurse questioned as she began to push the wheelchair along the floor.
"I can take him out, ma'am," Quatre said, hurrying to his feet, "You probably have other patients to.. 'attend'..to.."
The nurse smiled in response. "Thank you," she fixed her gaze on Duo, "I DO have better things to do."
Duo glowered after he as she strutted out of the room as if she owned the place. "Nurses these days," he muttered, "I bet she didn't even go to Nursing School."
The doctor, dumbfounded a moment by this remark, used the minute after he'd regained his senses to defend his employee. "Mrs. Anjorene has graduated from the finest nursing school on Level Four Colony Cluster!" He explained in a rush. "..With the highest grades in her class.. I assure you!"
Staring back at the doctor for a moment, Duo sighed inwardly. "Thank you for clearing that up. I was a little worried."
Continuing to stare at Duo with a shocked expression, the doctor seemed to be in another world dedicated solely to disbelief. Only his pager (2) going off into a vibrating frenzy broke him from this trance.
Checking it quickly, the doctor's eyes opened wide with surprise. "I-I have to go!" He said in a rushed voice that made it sound more like one word than four, "Critical situation.. Um.. Thank you for your time! Try to take it easy for a few weeks!" With that said, the doctor sprinted out of the room, his white lab coat flying behind him like a cape.
Slowly, Quatre pushed Duo through the crowded hallway and into the waiting room. "The funeral is on Thursday (3)." He explained, trying to make his voice void of all emotions, but unable to suppress a hint of remorse.
Duo nodded in acknowledgement. Although he spent a great deal of his time talking, which was just displayed in its greatest form in the prior instance, Duo had no idea what to say to this. He could see Quatre's pain as easily as he could see his face.
Although Duo had only known Iria for a short time, meeting her when Quatre was in the hospital after the events on the "Lost Hunter", he'd grown to love her as the sister he'd never had. Accepting the fact that Iria had died had been one of the hardest things he'd ever done. Especially because he himself was mostly to blame for her death.
Quatre was hiding it well, but Duo was sure that he must be feeling nothing but hatred towards him right now. Not that Duo could blame him.
He couldn't image the amount of pain Quatre must be feeling as he pushed Duo through the halls of this building of hope and despair. Quatre had known Iria all of his life. Despite the fact that she and Duo had grown close, Quatre and Iria had a true brother-sister relationship.
And he had taken it away from them.
"Where are you having it?" Duo asked, lamely.
"Nitki wanted to have it near our summer home in Asia," Quatre explained, "There's a small park there called "Kouen Park". It's supposed to be very nice."
Nodding again, Duo fell silent, thinking of something comforting that he could say. His thoughts were interrupted by a man laughing.
"Ha ha! So he finally bit the dust!(4)"
The wheelchair stopped immediately, with a sudden jerk that almost sent Duo flying across the room.
Turning back, Duo saw a horrified expression on Quatre's face as he stared up on the television screen situated on the wall in the waiting room. Slowly Duo brought his gaze to the screen and bit his lip in the sheer horror of what he saw.
A caption flashed along the bottom of the screen. "Multi-billionaire (5) owner of Winner Corporation was killed earlier today while resisting Oz Forces."
The man was nearly on the floor from laughing. His eyes were filled with tears of delight. "Damn Winner! Finally got what he deserved!"
"Quatre." Duo said slowly, putting a hand on his friend's shoulder.
Quatre stared fixated at the screen, tears sliding down his face. "B-but.. We'd just w-worked everything..out.."
"Quatre, I'm so sorry. Why don't you sit down?" Standing up, Duo tried to lead Quatre to a group of chairs up against one of the walls.
Through his grief Quatre was able to take two steps, two short and stumbled steps, before falling to the ground.
"Help!" Duo screamed, "Somebody help!"
"Shit, is that the Winner heir?"
"He's going into shock!"
"Get something under his head!"
"Prop up his feet!"
"Quatre, are you okay?"
"Hell, I'd be in shock too if I just inherited all of that money! Lucky devil."
The last thing Quatre heard before he lost all consciousness was the sound of Duo's fist colliding with the man's nose.
End of Chapter
(1) 6 feet is about 2 meters
(2) Or beeper.
(3) This was originally Tuesday.... but I thought that Thursday was a better day for a funeral. ^^* Why? .... scratches head Gee, I dunno! If anyone has any idea why I did this, please e-mail me!!! goes off to figure out why she is so strange
(4) I don't know if this expression is used in any other countries or not, so I'll explain it just in case. To "bite the dust" is to die. It came from in war when a soldier fell after being shot. His face hit the ground and he "bit the dust".
(5) This is in "Colonial Tokens" (remember that currency? ^^*). To try and describe it in all of the currencies of the world would be foolish and take forever.... so lets just say... we take the 10 riches men in the world and put all their fortunes together. ....
