~Hero~
Zechs took a deep breath and approached the one he
lost his heart to the moment he saw him. Patting the
pocket inside his tuxedo jacket for the box he knew
was there, Zechs was ready to give his beloved
everything. "Duo, can I wrestle you away from Quatre
for a moment?" Zechs asked, slightly hesitant.
"Talk to ya later 'kay?" Duo said, waving at Quatre.
"No worries Duo. I'll be around." Quatre replied,
smiling his patient smile.
Duo faced Zechs, curious. "What is it Zechs? Is
there something wrong?"
Zechs smiled. "No, nothing could be better. But I do
have a song that I would like you to hear."
"Sure!" Duo said, excited.
"(Let me be your hero) / Would you dance if asked you
to dance" Zechs sang, extending his hand to lead Duo
onto the dance floor.
"Sure gorgeous." Duo said, taking it.
Zechs led them onto the dance floor and started
dancing and singing, "Would you run and never look
back / Would you cry if you saw me / crying would you
save my soul tonight"
"Save your soul?" Duo whispered, confused. "From
what? Wanting to destroy-"
"Would you tremble if I touched your lips / Would you
laugh oh please tell me this / Now would you die for
the one you love / Hold me in your arms tonight" Zechs
sang, interrupting Duo's question.
At those words Duo thought back to the one he once may
have loved, or perhaps lusted over, he wasn't sure
anymore.
"I can be your hero baby / I can kiss away the pain /
I will stand by you forever / You can take my breath
away" Zechs whispered into Duo's ear, making him
shiver.
Duo started to protest, "Zechs, you know-"
But once again, Zechs interrupted, "Would you swear
that you'll always be mine / Would you lie would you
remember / My angel be have I lost my mind / I don't
care you're here tonight"
"Zechs," Duo said, "I don't lie!"
"I can be your hero baby / I can kiss away the pain /
I will stand by you forever / You can take my breath
away" Zechs sang, twirling Duo around.
"Zechs..." Duo trailed off, thinking about the promise
of forever from Zechs.
"Ohhh I just wanna hold you, I just / wanna hold you,
oh yeah / My angel be have I lost my mind / I don't
care your here tonight" Zechs sang, kissing Duo
lightly. "I can be your hero baby / I can kiss away
the pain / (Oh yeah) / I will stand by you forever /
You can take my breath away"
"Zechs." Duo said, with tears in his eyes.
"I can be your hero / I can kiss away the pain / And I
will stand by you forever / You can take my breath
away / You can take my breath away / I can be your
hero" Zechs trailed off, ending the song.
Duo said, "Zechs, that's really sweet, but-"
Zechs placed two fingers on Duo's lips, "Hush. I'm
not finished."
Taking out the box within his pocket, he opened the
black velvet box and presented Duo with a silver ring
with amethyst stones. Kneeling, Zechs took both of
Duo's hands and said, "I know that while we've dated,
your heart was still set on someone from your past.
This ring is a promise I will be there when you've
decided who you want. Then we can either make it
officially forever, or we can go our own way. Keep
the ring either way. Consider it either an engagement
ring or gift. It doesn't matter." And with that,
Zechs Merquise, walked out the door.
Duo felt the gazes of the witnesses to the scene they
played out. He looked down at the ring in the velvet
box that held so many promises without a single word.
It was apparent to him that the one he had chased
would continue ignoring him, and that they didn't
really have much to have a relationship on anyway.
Duo knew Zechs was right, about not loving him
completely while they were dating. It was unfair to
Zechs and surprised Duo that he had waited this long
to pop the question of choosing the path of the
future. As he stared at the ring, he knew then that
what he chased, he can never have.
Closing the velvet box, Duo straightened and walked
out the door that Zechs did a matter of minutes ago.
The wedding happened on a surprisingly sunny day in
London on April 1, 210 AC.
