This is my first ever song fic. I heard this song on the radio and it made me think of Heero & Relena. I know it's sad, but it's so fitting. If anyone's already done this, I'm sorry, but I hadn't seen it. Please let me know what you think! - Stella

WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER
AC 195 - The Sank Kingdom
Relena Peacecraft stared out the window, wondering where he was. There was fighting everywhere; wars were springing up in places she'd never heard of. He was a Gundam pilot. He had a mission and he had to fight. She was a head of state, the Chief Representative of the Sank Kingdom. Neither one of them had the luxury of living for themselves. Still she traced her finger on the window pane, looking up at the stars in the night sky.
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us?
Heero Yuy wiped the sweat from his forehead. The fighting had been miserable and intense. He wheeled the Wing Zero around, slicing through two more enemy mobile dolls. 'A soldier is prepared to die at any time,' he told himself. 'I am ready to lose my life to complete my mission.' Yet he gave a moment to her. "Relena..."
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Who - ooooooh?
Relena headed to her car. She had just dissolved the Sank Kingdom and given herself over to the Rommefeller Foundation. What would become of her? It really didn't matter, as long as he kept fighting and she knew that he would. If they decided to execute her, she would die with dignity. She let herself drift into a daydream. She remembered the night that she and Heero were dancing during the party at school. The night that he saved her life. She sighed remembering how it felt to be in his arms that one and only time.
There's no chance for us
It's all been decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
He stood behind the curtain in the mezzanine watching her, a gun in his hand. Rommefeller hadn't killed Relena, they'd made her a queen. Now it was up to him. He aimed the gun at her, staring down the barrel as she spoke about peace and an end to fighting. All of a sudden she glanced up at him, meeting his gaze, seeing the gun. Her eyes told him to pull the trigger; she had accepted her fate. His hands shook as she looked away. He couldn't do it.
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Who-oooooh...
Relena stared straight ahead, waiting to hear the gun fire and the bullet enter her body. 'At least it will be Heero and not one of these conniving hypocrites.' She knew that she had sealed her fate when she accepted Duke Durmail's offer to be the Queen of the World. She thought of the boy on the balcony. It wasn't the first time Heero had pointed a gun at her, and if she had to die, it might as well by the hand of the one she loved. 'Remember me, Heero,' she thought, and held her breath.
Who dares to love forever
Oh, when love must die
But he hadn't killed her that time either, and he had just rescued her - again; this time from her brother on the battleship Libra. Now Relena was begging him not to fight. She wanted to cry and scream and hit him, anything to keep him from going out there. Instead he had pulled her close, inside of the Wing Zero's cockpit. "Believe in me," he said. She hadn't answered him at first, and he gave her a gentle shove to get her out of the way as he took off.
She sighed as she watched him go, knowing she may never see him again. "I do believe in you, Heero. I do." She felt a tear slip down her cheek.
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
He was out there and there was no turning back. It came down to him and Zechs, and it meant the earth and the lives of millions of people. Heero wasn't afraid to die, but something deep inside called to him and told him that he had to survive. Again, he saw her face before him.
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Forever is our today
She tapped on the window of the shuttle as he was walking away. He turned around and saw her smile at him, mischievously tearing the card he had written her as he had done to the invitation she had offered him a year ago. She wanted to run off of the shuttle and throw her arms around him, but it was too late. She kept her eyes fixed on him until he was out of site. She leaned back in he seat and closed her eyes. Would she ever see him again? Would he come back to her? She sighed and said his name, "Heero..."
Who waits forever anyway...
It was something a little different. Hope ya'll enjoyed!
