Eulogy for Duo Maxwell
By Heero Yuy
It was a long time ago when I met Duo Maxwell and I couldn't imagine that he would be able to change my life so much in so little time. We were both Gundam pilots, fighting to survive when everyone was against us. He was the comedic relief and I was the one obsessed with the mission. Complete opposites. And Duo changed all that.
I remember noticing his eyes first, an odd shade of blue, almost violet. They sparkled in the sunlight on the dock where I was holding Relena at gunpoint. They turned darker when he shot me. That was the first time I ever saw him, and thankfully, not the last.
Throughout the war we met randomly. A few missions together, then the final battle. Now I can admit I was worried for him, but during the war I couldn't. It wasn't in my programming, so to speak. I was supposed to be perfect; love was not in the equation.
Yes. I loved him. I loved him from the moment I met him. His eyes, his hair, the way his hands moved, how he smiled, everything. I couldn't classify it then, I didn't know what love felt like. I just knew that if he left, I worried, once he was back, I felt better. Every time he laughed, I'd get a tingling sensation in my stomach. Every time he smiled, I wanted to hold him close.
But all this is said too little too late. He's gone and I will never be able to declare my love for him. He made me feel, become human. He was an amazing man and loved by everyone who met him. May he forever rest in peace.
AN-I know this is short… but I'm considering making it into a story instead of a one-shot. Input and reviews are welcome. Danke muchos.
