Never Say Goodbye

They made quite a pair,
the student and the teacher. They moved fluidly, elegantly, looking more like a
pair of dancers than having a deadly little spar.
The shorter of the two
was holding a bo, while the other welded a sword. The bo was actually a metal
staff, one that could be retracted quickly, and the sparks that flew between
the two combatants showered the area with dancing motes.
All in all, it was
beautiful.

Wufei sat in his office
in the Preventers HQ, pondering his latest paperwork. Actually, he was
pondering his late partner, who should have been there fifteen minutes ago.
If anyone who didn't
know us would look at our relationship, his mind wandered, they would
ask why we weren't married yet.
In many ways, they were. Both were married to their
work, to their commitment to the Preventers, and Justice, a very important
ideal for Wufei.
Still, nothing romantic,
despite various attempts by co-workers and friends…
Wufei looked at the
little velvet box he was holding, wondering if he could loose his dignity
enough to do something about it.

Remembering could be
hell.
At least, that was what
Heero Yuy thought at that moment.
He stood in front of a
tombstone, and the memorial plaque in front of it.
He wanted to cry,
wishing things had been different, wishing that he could go back to change the
events of that night.
Wishing he had not
pulled the trigger.

Duo laughed hard at
something Hilde had said, then stopped short. His breath caught he wrong way,
and he sucked in, almost choking.
"Oh, Great Shinigami,"
he breathed, looking off in the distance, stunned.
Hilde was less than
happy that Duo was ignoring her. They were sitting in an open-air café, people
watching, and making fun of the strange way Earth people dressed.
"She's dead," Due
whispered, and Hilde giggled.
"What? See an old
girlfriend you didn't tell me about?" she asked, teasingly.
Duo just continued to
stare, and wondered if he had lost his mind.
Relena Peacecraft had
died seven years ago.
