A.N- this is my very first fic, so please be nice. This fic will be a 2-part fic. There may also be some grammar and spelling mistakes I've made so just bear with me please. Anyways some info in case you get confused: Duo works at the junkyard and Hilde does the paperwork. They are involved, but have decided to sleep in separate rooms. (Don't have a reason, but that's how it came out, so there =P).
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing or any of the characters. I said it alright? Now I'm going to go off to a corner and cry.
The Mission
The day was cloudy and dreary, yet there wasn't a drop of rain to be seen, it didn't matter to Duo, the weather matched the mood that he had gotten after he had received the phone call from Quatre. He loathed doing what he was about to do, but he didn't have much of a choice in the matter, if he had he would never leave her side.
~Flashback~
He had just gotten in from the junkyard, when he heard the vid-phone ring. Shouting "I'll get it!" He ran to the phone and picked it up. "Hello?" he said. It turned out to be Quatre on the line. He looked troubled. It seemed that the Preventers had summoned the 5 Gundam pilots on a mission to, yet again, protect the peace. They had 3 days in which to prepare to depart. They would be rendezvousing at Quatre's house. When there, they would be told in more detail what they would be required to do and who the enemy was and what they wanted. Quatre knew that Duo would probably be reluctant to leave the colony of L2, his home, so he added to persuade him, that it was important to Relena's safety. He couldn't say no to protecting Relena, so he agreed.
~End Flashback~
Duo was approaching Hilde's bedroom. He could see the faint light that was coming out underneath her bedroom door. Each step he took felt like lead to him. But he had to do this, he reminded himself. For the sake of Relena (They had become good friends over the years of peace.) Now standing outside her bedroom door, he paused a moment to collect his thoughts before he knocked. "Come in" he heard her say. And that's what he did. She was typing away on the computer in her room. She was doing some entries for the company. "Hold on sec." She finished typing a few more words, stretched then turned around. She had a smile on her face, but when she saw his expression, it quickly turned into a frown.
"What's wrong?"
"…"
"Duo, please tell me" She asked in a concerned voice.
"I…I have to leave on mission with the other pilots"
"A mission? But you haven't had one in years!" she said in a quiet tone of voice.
"I know. Things were calm for a while, but now it seems another rebel group has formed. And we need to stop it before it gains enough power to start anything big."
"I see." "When do you have to leave?"
"In 3 days"
I guess I can't do anything about it," She said in a defeated tone.
"It's not like I can stop you from protecting the world now can I?" she said with a wry smile trying to sound cheerful she asked, "How long will you be gone then?"
"I'm not sure. Quatre didn't say anything specific"
With a forced smile on her face she said "I'm sure it won't take long, I mean, what can stand against 5 Gundam pilots right?"
"Right" nodding his head in the affirmative.
Two Days Later
"Hilde. I'm going now"
"Alright, bye" she said in a distracted tone.
He found it strange that she seemed so nonchalant about his leaving. She didn't even give him a kiss goodbye. He was running late, so he couldn't do anything about it, he just went up to her, gave her a quick kiss on the lips and left.
Hilde watched Duo back out of the driveway in his car and then went to the vid-phone and punched in a phone number. When a familiar voice answered she said, "He's gone"
"Good" "Now, let us commence with the rest of the mission."
"Acknowledged"
