My December: Songfic By: Strider Battle
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
The sun had just begun to set. That day, the snow was falling in sheets like rain. Rapidly and unexpected. The world was frozen, cold, so very cold. No one dared step outside into the blizzard, no matter how curious they happened to be. Even the elfin faced young man, a bouncy 18 year old named Duo Maxwell, sat within the warmth of his apartment petting a small gray kitten called Shini-neko, refusing to go out in the storm, even though he was dying for a Grande white chocolate mocha from the Starbucks across the street. He instead decided to watch the snow fall.
He didn't seem to notice the shadow standing in the blizzard outside, the figure of another, who stared longingly into the warmth of the apartment. The figures face was uncovered, unprotected from the cold, his hair rolling with the wind and his long dark coat. An old green scarf, pale with age, hung almost limply around the figures neck as he continued to stare, no emotion being betrayed by his cold cobalt eyes or his face. The wind and sheets of snow made it impossible for Duo to see the figure, but whether that was a good thing or not was undecided by the figure.
'Duo. what did I do to hurt you.?' the figure thought, falling to his knees in the snow, bare knees touching the frigged earth. He watched as Duo stood from his seat by the window and walked out of view. He felt dizzy for a moment, his hand slowly reaching towards the window as he fell forward onto his face.
".Tell me." he sighed, before passing out in the snow.
This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone
The snow outside brought back memories, memories of another time it had snowed, when he hadn't been left alone by death, but of a time, a night very much like tonight, when he hadn't been left alone. Strange, though, was something Duo noticed. The date was the same as when a very close friend had vanished in the snow. The first snow on that date in the 3 years since Heero had vanished.
Duo couldn't remember if it had been snowing as hard that day, but he felt it was true. The wind that day had made it so much more unbearable, that perhaps that's why it had seemed so much worse. He didn't know. He was actually just content to sit in his apartment with his best friend, watching the snow fall on the December streets of New York City. Just, for once, pretending to be normal teenagers without having to worry about being killed or about their assignments from the Preventers. Duo was just happy to sit there, unconscious of the world.
Duo was quiet, and his friend was quite unnerved by it. He knew Duo was never quiet.
"Duo?" His voice was it's usual monotone as he asked, though a small, unnoticed amount of worry was evident in it's depths.
Duo sighed, picking up his mug of hot chocolate off the window sill. He looked over at his friend, "What'sup Heero?"
Heero took a sip of his coffee, holding the warm mug in his cold hands, trying to push some warmth into them. "Hn. You're quiet."
Duo blinked, "I. am? Heh, I didn't even notice."
Heero nodded taking another sip of his coffee. He had glanced at Duo, his eyes lingering on his longer than he should have. It was then he noticed something, an empty look in Duo's eyes, as if something had been taken from him.
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
Duo sighed, shaking his head and walking back to the window to gaze out again. Memories where the only things he had left of his friends. But he could bet that Wufei had quickly forgotten all accounts of ever knowing Duo after everything was over. Duo smiled at the thought and sat down cross legged in front of the window, which covered the entire wall. That window had destroyed his strange habit of singing and dancing in nothing but his boxers in the living room, which, if he remembered correctly, was one of the few things that got Heero to laugh.
That night, the one he had been recalling, held many good memories. Yet it held some strange ones as well..
Duo had begun to laugh. "I figured you'd like the silence for a change."
Heero continued to watch him. "Hn."
His eyes locked on to Duo's momentarily, but saw that the lifeless spark was gone, nonexistent. Perhaps he was imagining things. No, that couldn't be! Heero had seen something, whether it was pain or sadness, he couldn't tell, but there had been something. Another sip of his coffee, and Heero yawned lightly.
"I'm going to go to bed. It's getting late and we start our new mission tomorrow." Heero said, standing, but not taking his eyes off Duo, who was now looking ahead out into the snow.
"Yeah, okay. I'll be in in a minute." Duo said, watching Heero walk away out of the corner of his eyes, "Hey, Heero."
Stopping, Heero turned to Duo, "Hm?"
Duo smiled at the snow outside, "If somethin' happens to one of us tomorrow." Standing himself, Duo whirled and looked at Heero, "If one of us gets separated or we end up not meeting up. Let's wait 'til the next snow like this. and find each other. Heh, I'll try not to get killed. How 'bout you?"
Heero furrowed his brow, but then relaxed his face with a small smile, "We won't get separated.. But. I agree."
Duo smiled widely, sitting back down and picking up his hot chocolate from the windowsill. "G' night, Heero."
"Good night." With that, Heero walked into the room he had shared with Duo.
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you
Feel like that
Duo rubbed his hands together, a tight feeling in the pit of his stomach. Maybe that promise wouldn't be kept.
They had been separated. Something had happened, but, Duo couldn't figure out what had gone wrong. They had done everything the way planned. They destroyed what they needed to, and got out right after one another.. But.. Duo couldn't figure out what had gone wrong.
Maybe it was time he gave up on trying to analyze the situation. He'd never really been too good at that, and that Starbuck's Grande White Chocolate mocha was beginning to sound very good in Duo's warring mind. He furrowed his brows, and sighed loudly to Shini-neko.
"Well, I guess I'm gonna go out into that frozen Hell. Of course, this place isn't much warmer! It's fuckin' cold inside, too! Maybe the Starbuck's'll be warmer. I'll bring ya back some nice, warm chai!" He says to the cat, his voice happy, even though it was underlined with a hint of sadness.
With that, he stood and retrieved his heaviest trench-coat, grabbed his keys and checked his pockets for money, credit cards, etc. so he could, for once, pay. The cat mewed at Duo and cocked it's little gray head, thinking, 'My human is weird.'
Duo sighed again and walked out of the apartment and into the hallway before sprinting down the stairs.
To be continued.. A/N: Oh, I'm sorry to do this to you guys, but I'm on a very tight schedule, so I'm going to do this fic in 2 chapters. Sorry for the wait as well, I was suffering from writers block.. *glares at Naomi and Naruku, who begin whistling innocently.* Don't trust the muses, they'll betray you! *clears throat.* Ahem! Anyway, if the next half isn't out by Turkey Day (*snickers* that's fun to say!), just e-mail /review and tell me that I need to hurry the hell up! Okay! Well, bye for now! See ya 28.11.02!
