Heart of Innocence (lyrics by Jessica Simpson)
Sometimes I wake up in the dark night.
And in my mind there's a picture of you.
I know someday this dream will come alive.
So for now your shadow will do.
I've never seen your face but I know you're in my heart.
Baby some day, some place, I'll hold you in my arms.
Duo gazed at the ceiling, darkness surrounding and comforting him. It was late, he knew, and he should be asleep right now, or he wouldn't be able to perform his missions correct. But a picture kept appearing in his mind. In it, the dark haired boy stared at him with cobalt eyes, no expression visible in them. Another pilot of the gundams, supposedly sent to Earth for the same reason Duo himself had been. And as those cobalt eyes stared at him, he felt a new emotion
.I have a gift for you. Something I've held on to.
Waiting for your sweet caress.
No ribbon has been untied from all that I hold inside.
And only you will possess
This heart of innocence.
They had only met the day before, and Duo smiled as he recalled it. Pulling a gun and shooting someone in the arm was not the best way to start a friendship, and even more, a relationship. But his mission came first, so he left the other pilot and the girl he thought he was saving, to retrieve his gundam from where he had hid it. Even as he prepared Deathscythe for the missions they were going to face, the image of the angel dressed in a green tank top and black spandex wouldn't leave him alone.
I lay my head down on a pillow of white.
Here in the dark, I am cradled in peace.
No loss from yesterday to harm me at night.
No tears to dry. No sad memories.
There's a heart to hold and I will safely keep
The strength that's in my soul
Until you come to me.
Time passed slowly, as if time itself had been frozen. From the first time he saw the pilot till he walked away kept replaying in his mind. Strangely he felt peace when he thought of the boy. Perhaps he had found someone to give his heart to at last.
Every night I make a wish before I fall asleep.
That destiny will take your hand and lead it to me.
As Duo slowly drifted off to sleep, he sent the first prayer he said since the destruction of the Maxwell Church, a simple one, asking only to see that cobalt eyed angel again.
I have a gift for you. Something I've held on to.
Waiting for your sweet caress. (You know I'll be waiting there for you.)
No ribbon has been untied from all that I hold inside.
And only you will possess
This heart of innocence.
