Warnings: Don't own them. Never have never will. Some Rx1…and some past 2x1

---Because life after death isn't guaranteed. But death after life most certainly is---

Heero had never been religious. Never believed in some higher being plotting out every step of his life.

Never believed in some guardian angel coming to rescue him, picking him up when ever he fell.

Never found it comforting to think that this life was nothing more than a test for some egotistical hot shot. And honestly….

Part of him didn't really want there to be an afterlife…wasn't life tiring enough?

And even if there WERE some great god waiting at the light of a tunnel…Heero was sure any soul he possessed had disappeared along time ago.

That miracles simply weren't for people like him

But even so…lately he seemed to have a habit of visiting churches.

Heero even had a cross…the one HE had given him.

And sometimes Heero found his hand running against the ridged sides…thinking of all the people waiting for Jesus to come save them.

All the people who died waiting.

Just like HIM….

Times like now, laying beside Relena…tracing small ridged patterns in her hair…

Falling deeper and deeper into thoughts….what if, well what IF?

"Heero do you believe in life after death?"

His thoughts stopped…jarred…unsure.

But she continued without waiting… "I do Heero. I really really do. It will be nice to see everyone again. Wouldn't it be nice?"

And Heero had never BEEN religious. Never believed in miracles.

Never fooled himself into thinking there was some spiritual fate or purpose to his life.

But Heero couldn't help…couldn't deny the small part of him stained with purple…

Couldn't help the irrational piece of hope growing slowly….

That maybe one day…

Well JUST maybe one day…

What if? What if?

A/N: This could turn into a series of ficlets like this one…depending.

Reviews keep the worn writer going…so please r/r and thank you.
