I was inspired to do a vid-fic on the GW ending theme "Just Love" because of the irresistible mental picture that popped up in my head when I was reading the translated lyrics.
Before we start, I just want to say Arigaro Gozaimasu to the wonderful webmaster of GW Music and Lyrics Directory, a section of Gundam Wing Dormitory L7, which can be found at http://www.geocities.com/kurama_dylan_barton2/ for providing what appears to be the most complete GW music archive and lyrics listings on the internet.
Another point I want to say is that I don't own Gundam Wing, it's songs nor the characters, nor do I have the ability to contact those who do. I don't make a profit from this, and if anything, my love for GW and other animes is making me broke. All I own is my manga.
Now back to the song. The description of the song that I read while getting the lyrics said that the webmisstress thought of Relena when she looked at her translations, whereas I thought of one very angry Quatre bitch slapping poor Trowa and storming off ^^;; I think that basically explains the plotline people.
// ... // Are the lyrics
Plain Text is actions
" ... " is additional diolougue.
Now please read this and do feel free to let me know what you think of all this. Yashiko-chan

Just Love - Song by Rumi Ohishi - Fic by Yashiko Sazanrando-Inanwagakuni
//Maebure mo naku yobidasu no tenki ga ii kara//
//I called you up without any advance notice 'coz the weather was nice//
Quatre is on the phone talking to Trowa. You can see out the bedroom window and the sky is blue with just a couple light, fluffy clouds.
"You're coming to dinner tonight, right?"
"I'll be there, little one."
//
//
The small blond-haired pilot is sitting at a table just plain frustrated.
//Hashitte kita no wakatteru kedo sonna koto wa atarimae yo!//
//I know you chased after me --- I deserve more than that!//
Quatre stands up and goes to pay the check for the drink he had while waiting. He pulls on his coat and leaves for home.
// Just Love! Ki ni kuwanai aitsu//
// Just Love! God, I hate him!//
Quatre is at home on his bed, and has his face in a pillow, crying.
//Ijiwaru wo shichau no wa "sukidakara" yo//
//I'm mean to you --- only because I have a crush on you...//
A hand reaches out and turns a picture of him and Trowa down so he can't see it.
//Just Love! Ki ni naru kara itsumo//
//Just Love! 'Coz I'm very attracted to you//
A mental image of Quatre and Trowa hugging under a big oak tree.
//Murina koto ittchau no chotto go-me-n//
//I always say impossible things to you --- I guess… I'm sorry…//
Quatre picks up the phone and tries to contact Trowa again.
//…Just Love…//
//Kyou wa ude ni yori wo kakete gochisoushite ageru//
//Today, I ran from your arms as you were taking me to dinner//
Quatre is running, looking depressed. Trowa is in the background, startled.
//Harapeko ni shite uchi ni kute omiyage wo motte//
//Starving, I went home to wait for a souvenir//
Quatre steps into the house and one of his sisters looks up from a book, concerned.
//Sakarau nante juunen hayai ima ni itai me ni au wa yo//
//How could I, being so naïve, defy you? Now it hurts to meet your gaze!//
Quatre's sister is stirring a pot of soup, then sits down beside him. She starts to talk to him, asking what went wrong.
//Just Love! Me wo hikara seteru no...//
//Just Love! Because only a little of...//
Quatre looks up, a close up of his face, then his eyes.
//...Sukoshi demo nokoshitara yurusanai wa//
//...the brightness in my eyes remains, I'll never forgive you!//
Then he smiles.
"Arigato."
//Just Love! Kokoro wo kometa kara...//
//Just Love! Because what I keep in my heart...//
You see Quatre running towards where the circus is set up. He looks around frantically for Trowa.
//...Mazui hazu nai ja nai ajiwatte ne//
//...Shouldn't taste so bitter, should it…?//
He runs up to Trowa and hugs him. Trowa look startled, then happy and relieved.
*//Murina koto ittchau no chotto go-me-n//
"I always say impossible things to you --- I guess… I'm sorry…"
"You are always forgiven in my heart, little one."
Quatre and Trowa kiss.
