Author's Note: There isn't much to say. I've had this idea in my head for a long time, and 2x1 is just so…pretty. Sigh…

Shattered Dreams

Prologue

He smells like cinnamon, though he looks like he should smell only of jasmine.

No change in expression as he registers my presence. Of everything in that darkened room, his blue eyes are the brightest. It takes only half a second for him to swing, aim, and pull the trigger on that gun.

The bullet bounces off my head.

"Ouch!"

Another half a second for him to realize I'm not dead, and then I'm showered in bullets.

"Damn it!"

Really, I know I'm a god. And not just any god. I am the god of death, you know, king of the gods? Anyway, I am absolutely immortal, as in you can't kill me even if you hacked me to pieces. But I have feelings damn it! It hurts when things bounce off you, at least it does when I decide to take the form of a human.

His glare seems puzzled. I resist the urge to melt into a puddle of god goo, or to tell him how cute he is.

Honestly, any other mortal would be freaking out by now.

Not a word. Well, it's not like he ever talks much anyway.

I take a step forward. It's probably dangerous to corner him. What am I talking about? It's safer to poke an angry, roaring lion in the nose than to corner Heero Yuy.

But I am a god. We've established that.

My eyes rake over his slender form. How long have I waited? I reach out, almost desperate to touch that skin.

He pulls out a knife.

Man have I picked a dangerous kitten to be my pet. This one's got claws and they are sharp.

He doesn't show it, but I know he is surprised at how fast I grabbed his wrists, at how my grip is much stronger than his.

The knife hits the ground as I pin him to the nearest wall. I pause for a minute, just looking.

Tousled brown hair falls into deep blue eyes. His face is perfectly proportioned, as if some artist had thought of creating the most beautiful creature when they painted him. His golden skin feels soft and smooth under my hands. His lips look even softer.

I lean closer towards him, almost kissing him.

"I am death," I whisper. "And I have come to take you away with me."

OOO

End of Prologue.

Author's Note: I hope I have invoked some interest. This is my first Gundam Wing story and I just want to see if it's good enough before I write anymore. It would be really great if I can get some feedback. Anyway, thank you everyone for reading this!
