Warnings: SAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPP! Seriously, I think you might need an umbrella and galoshes for how hard it falls. Yaoi, AU, OOC…ya know…my usual stuff….minor swearing…..

Disclaimer: I own nothing, but if you want to gift wrap Duo and send him to me, I wouldn't complain. Any songs mentioned in this fic do not belong to me, they belong to the wonderful John Mayer. (sorry, John… I'm only borrowing them…and you should be happy…cuz that means I like them!) I definitely don't own Gundam Wing… I only wish very hard that I did….

To Capture a Singer's Heart

Love Song for No One

Duo Maxwell, an up and coming singer, sat at his desk, head hanging, and pen clicking incessantly. He was in a mood and he was trying to write a song to lighten his mood. He was also trying to distract himself from the fact that his second single, "Something's Missing" was being launched tomorrow over the radio and his first concert was being held tomorrow. He was nervous as to the outcome of his debut on stage.

Staying home alone on a Friday

Flat on the floor, looking back

On old love

Or lack thereof

After all the crushes have faded

And all my wishful thinking was wrong

I'm jaded

I hate it

Duo looked down at what he was writing. He usually tried to keep his songs upbeat, but this one was not following his rules. He labeled it "Alone". He was hit with an overwhelming sense of depression because the words of the song struck him close to home. His last relationship had ended with him being dumped by e-mail. Duo sighed and looked down at what he was writing.

I'm tired of being alone

So hurry up and get here

So tired of being alone

So hurry up and get here

Duo blinked. He truly was tired of being alone and he wanted someone by his side, to be his inspiration, he just hadn't realized it yet. He now knew that he was searching for someone, but the search would be near impossible with his schedule.

Searching all of my days just to find you

I'm not sure what I'm looking for

I'll know it

When I see you

Until then, I'll hide in my bedroom

Staying up all night just to write

A love song for no one

He sighed and put his pen down. He couldn't look at the words at the moment. He needed a break from them. Picking up an acoustic guitar, he slowly found a melody the words would go well with. It sounded slightly upbeat, but it made Duo happy, so he kept it.

When he had the tune worked out, he sat back down and was finally able to look at the words again. He didn't think the song was all that great yet, but he would see.

Duo picked up his pen and added another chorus.

I'm tired of being alone

So hurry up and get here

So tired of being alone

So hurry up and get here

Duo resisted the urge to crumple up the piece of paper and kept writing. He didn't care if it was crap; he just needed to get it out.

I could have met you in a sandbox

I could have passed you on a sidewalk

Could I have missed my chance

And watched you walk away?

"I probably have, huh?" Duo put his head in his hands. "Will I ever find you?" He crossed out the name at the top of the page and wrote 'Love Song for No One'. He added one more chorus and pushed away from the desk, leaving everything where it was.

Duo laid down on his bed and, not knowing what else to do, he cried.

I'm tired of being alone

So hurry up and get here

So tired of being alone

So hurry up and get here

You'll be so good

You'll be so good for me.
