Hey! This story contains shonen ai, so if you 1: don't like that, or 2: don't know what shonen ai means, I warned you.
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Gundam Wing… *sighs sadly* I also don't own all of this plot as my friend Sailor Miniji is helping me write it. ^-^ Domoo arigato Miniji-chan!

He was always watching the young man from the shadows. That wonderful,
beautiful little boy… his eyes were just like ice and so lonely. He wanted
to relieve that loneliness. But as the winged being watched the little boy
his violet eyes filled with pain and sorrow. He knew that the little boy
would never return his love. After all… who would love Shinigami?

"Hiiro! Hey, Hiiro! Wait up!" Hiiro turned around, watching as Duo came
running up to him. Duo finally caught up to Hiiro and waited for the stony
eyed pilot to say something. 'So much for conversation.' Thought Duo as he
smiled brightly at Hiiro. "Come on, we're going to be late for dinner. Let's
go!" And without waiting for Hiiro to respond he grabbed onto Hiiro's arm and
dragged him easily over to the restaurant.
"Duo, you didn't have to be so forceful." Hiiro said monotony, rubbing his
arm. Duo cursed himself inwardly, 'Baka, I knew I shouldn't have used my full
strength.' It had been four years since he had turned himself into a human,
and he still had trouble controlling his power. He smiled wanly and walked
with Hiiro into the restaurant. Once inside they spotted Wufei yelling at the
waitress for dropping a platter of food onto his lap. The poor girl was
extremely embarrassed and was doing her best to clean up the mess. Quatre
looked horrified at his friend's actions and was apologizing as best as he
could to the waitress, who was in tears because of Wufei's ranting. Trowa,
however, had his eyes closed and looked as if he were trying to block out the
sound of Wufei's yelling of 'stupid, weak onnas and their horrible sense of
balance'. Duo sweatdroped and walked up to Wufei.
"Hey Wu-man! Why don't you stop yelling at the poor lady?" He said loudly.
Unfortunatly, this only made the mad Wufei turn to him.
"How many times? How many times have I told you NOT to call me WU-MAN! My
name's WUFEI! Get it? WU-FEI!" Steam was coming out of his ears and he looked
mad enough to kill.
"Hey now, settle down Wu-man!"
"DON'T. CALL. ME. WU-MAN. OR. ELSE!" Duo didn't even flinch.
"Or else what, Wuffy?" He said nonchalantly.
"DON'T CALL ME WUFFY EITHER!"
"Okay Fido, don't blow up on me now." Duo said as he sat down next to Quatre,
leaving a seat for Hiiro. Wufei sat down, looking as if he wanted to strangle
Duo. The waitress stood up and they ordered their meals. Duo looked over to
the video games that were in the corner. "Hey, Hii-chan, why don't we go play
a video game?" Duo asked. Hiiro nodded and the two walked over to a two
person car racing machine. They picked cars and started the race. Hiiro, in
the blue car, was way ahead of Duo, and all the other cars in fact. Duo
smiled and raced ahead of the other cars. He could easily catch up to his
crush's car, but he decided to let him win. 'Of course, everything I do now
is just a mask. If he knew the real me, the one I was before I became human
and came to earth, well, let's just say that it wouldn't be as nice as it was
now…
** Flashback**
Shinigami stood up from his throne, black wings gently caressing his lean body. He touched his mirror, the one that he used to look opon the mortals of the earth realm. He sighed and stroked the mirror, making it show the little boy, the one he loved. That boy was unafraid of death, would be able to stand and look him in the eye. Maybe that
was why Shinigami loved him so much… he was so much like himself, unafraid
of death and loneliness. Shinigami gazed at the teen before making up his
mind. He would go into that earth realm, disguised as a human. He would
protect that little boy with all his might, and maybe even teach him to love
him as Shinigami had come to love that little boy. He parted his long hair into equal
sections and braided it. He transformed himself into a human, which was
against one of the taboos. Now he would never be able to become the 'God of
Death' again, unless he achieved his goal. He smiled faintly and stepped
through his mirror, into that beautiful, but at the same time ugly, human
realm.
**End Flashback**
Duo snapped out of his thoughts as the little sign on the screen said 'Insert
quarters to continue… You have 3… 2… 1… GAME OVER'. They stood up and
walked back to the table, as the food had come, and began to eat.
About an hour later the five split up and walked home. Duo stayed by Hiiro
until the time had come for them to go their own ways home. "See ya later,
Hiiro." Duo said with a little wave. Hiiro stared up into Duo's eyes, face
contorted with an unused emotion.
"Bai, then." Hiiro walked away quickly, not wanting Duo to see that his eyes
had begun to mist. 'What are these emotions I'm feeling?' Hiiro questioned
himself as he walked briskly away. 'Could it be… love?' Hiiro had always felt
a sort of, companionship towards Duo, but over the last four years the
feeling had grown. Duo watched Hiiro from the distance. 'Ai… ai shiteru,
Hiiro-chan. I wish I could tell that to you…' Duo's smile faded into a sad
expression. Hiiro might never love him. He walked over to his own house.
Hiiro cursed himself as he walked into his room. On the walk he had decided
that what he felt for Duo really was love, and now he didn't know what to do.
What if Duo didn't love him back? Hiiro decided that that was a chance he was
going to have to take. 'But I can't just wait around here, doing nothing…' He
thought, 'If I really love Duo, then I have to do something about it!' He
dialed the number to Duo's apartment slowly. When Duo's sleepy voice answered
he hesitated for a minute before doggedly going on. "Duo? Can you meet me at
my apartment in fifteen minutes? There's something I want to tell you." Duo
agreed and Hiiro put down the phone. 'I hope I'm doing the right thing…" He
mused as he plopped down on his bed.
Duo put his shoes back on and started out the door. 'I dunno what he wants to
tell me, but I just can't stand it any longer.' His face determined, he
walked out the door. 'Tonight, I'm going to tell him that I love him.' He ran
all the way to Hiiro's small complex.
The doorbell rang and Hiiro ran to answer it. He hesitated a minute,
compensating what he was going to do. 'I'll lead him over to the kitchen and
tell him.' He opened the door, exposing a breathless Duo. " You.. said… you
wanted.. to tell me something?" He said between breaths. Hiiro led him over
to the kitchen. Duo looked strait in Hiiro's eyes and said, "Hiiro, there's
something I want to tell you." Hiiro shook his head.
"No, I want to tell you something." Duo looked startled. 'Could Hiiro love me too?' he wondered. He didn't have much time to think about it though, as Hiiro leaned over to his braided friend and whispered in his ear, "Ai… ai shiteru, Duo-chan." With this Hiiro pulled back and looked at Duo. Seeing that Duo had a very startled look on his face, he winced inwardly and looked away. "Gomen nasai, Duo. I…" He looked at loss for words, and looked back at Duo, only to be surprised at the look of happiness on Duo's face. Real happiness, not like the happiness that Duo always had on his face as his mask. Duo leaned over to Hiiro.
"Ai shiteru also, Hii-chan." And Duo kissed Hiiro deeply, unaware that black wings were sprouting from his back. Hiiro kissed him back, being caressed by the silky smoothness of the wings. Duo looked up suddenly, realizing that his wings had grown back again. Hiiro looked at him confusedly. "Hiiro, there's something else I need to tell you…" Duo said, violet eyes slightly glowing and dark wings stretching out, "I'm… I'm Shinigami."
