When I Fall
I do not own Gundam wing or 'When I Fall' by Bare Naked Ladies. This fiction involves them, incase you haven't noticed. This is a Yaoi fic (aren't they all?) it is 1+2 and that's it. I would love some reviews on this since I edited it, god, it sucked so bad before.
I
look straight in the window, try not to look below
Pretend
I'm not up here, try counting sheep.
Duo
looks out into space, down at the spinning Earth, he gets a
thoughtful look for a moment. Something appears in the window
reflection. The camera focuses onto the image in the window,
Heero.
But
the sheep seem to shower off this office
tower
Nine-point-eight
straight down I can't stop my knees
The
perfect soldier walks behind the God of Death and starts to say
something. Duo nearly knocks him over as he jumps in surprise, Heero
catches him and pushes him back to his feet, their eyes meet for a
moment and then they both look away quickly, so that the other will
not notice their blush, and start talking about their next
mission.
I wish
I could fly
From
this building
From
this wall
We
see the Gundams, all of them standing stock still as they overlook a
battle ground. They start to turn to leave when a shot rings out, and
a blinding flash of light shoots through the air, right toward the
Deathsythe. Everything goes white.
And
if I should try
Would
you catch me if I fall?
When
it comes back to the scene, we see Duo open his bright violet eyes,
he looks through the screen to a sheet of metal right in front of his
Gundam, and the camera goes through the sheet and pans out so that we
see that it is the Wing Zero standing in front of the black gundam. A
gapping hole gauged into it from the blast.
My
hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary
Hang
onto your wallet, hang onto your rings
Duo
cries out, noticing that it was a direct shot, that the cockpit was
hit. He reaches out the Gundams arms and catches Heero, shaking his
head violently, he yells out Heero's name, telling him to answer
his call.
Can't
look below me, or something'll throw me
Curse
at the wind storms that October brings
Trowa
and Wufei go off to find whoever tried to shoot them. Quatre
maneuvers his Gundam toward the two boys, he asks if Heero is okay,
how badly was he hurt. Duo can't stop crying long enough to tell
him. The tears in his eyes sparkle and are the last lights you can
see as the screen fades out.
I
look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
I'd
gladly swap places, if they care to dive
They're
lined at the window, peer down into limbo
They're
frightened of jumping in case they survive
When
the scene fades back in, we see the Gundam crew sitting in the
sterile white waiting room of a hospital. Duo is a wreck, his eyes
are bloodshot from crying, and his skin is pale and shadowed with
worry. They look up in unison as a doctor walks in, no emotion of
hope or despair may be read on his face. He points a stoic finger at
Duo and motions for the pilot to come with him
I
wish I could step from this scaffold
Onto
soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed
Heero is lying on
the pure white bed, there are bandages all over his body, some of
them have blood starting to soak through them. A monitor ominously
beeps in rhythm with Heero's heart. Duo nearly turns away, unable
to stand how weak and vulnerable the perfect soldier looks lying on
that hospital bed, IVs and tubes sticking out of anywhere they could
put them. The doctor looks at his clip board and says something
indiscernible and leaves quietly.
With
my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's
Dead
Duo
looks at Heero for a moment, tears threatening to fall down his
cheeks. He nearly jumps to Heero in a hug, he holds the soldier
close, saying his name and praying to a God who he had thought he had
stopped believing gin long ago not to take away his Heero. Anything
but his Heero. Images flit past the screen, of the nun and Father who
saved him in the beginning. Of his family that he had never met. Of
all those that he had loved that had died because of him. "Not
again, not again, please." He begged in a sobbing voice.
I
wish I could fly
From
this building
From
This Wall
And If I
should try
Would
you catch me if I fall?
We see Duo from the back, his sobs
racking his entire body. Two arms snake weakly around his waist and
squeeze him tight.
Look
straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer
I
look like a painter, behind all the grease
Duo looks up from
his despair, he looks at Heero in surprise. His violet orbs are met
by a Prussian blue one, the perfect soldier smirks and says weakly,
"You didn't think I'd die that easily did you?" a finger from
an unbandaged hand reaches up and wipes away a tear that threatened
to fall from Duo's cheek.
But
painting's creating, and I'm just erasing
A
crystal clear canvas is my masterpiece
Shock and astonishment
and pure love pass across Duo's face. Finally the meld into a
tearful happy smile from the God of Death and he hugs Heero all the
tighter, he begins laughing and crying and jabbering about how he
thought he would never see Heero again.
I
wish I could fly
From
this building
From
This Wall
And If I
should try
Would
you catch me if I fall?
Heero puts his finger on Duo's
tender lips, signaling silence. The Shinigami tilts his head to the
side in confusion. Heero merely shakes his head and pulls his Duo in
for a long and passionate kiss. The camera focuses away from them and
pans to the other three Gundam pilots standing in the doorway, all of
them holding a proud look on there faces as they watch the two
profess their love, the doctor looks down at his clip board where we
see: Patient looks fine, will make a complete recovery and live a
long happy life.
When I fall…
When I fall…
Fall…
As
the last notes fade into the background, we see Duo looking out at
the void of space again, a small grin playing on his face. Yet again
Heero walks into the room, unnoticed by the daydreaming God of Death.
He sneaks up to Duo, making sure not to make a sound, when he gets to
the other pilot, he hugs him warmly. Duo nearly jumps and falls
again, but this time he is held up by his love. He smiles and tilts
his head back to catch a kiss from his Perfect Soldier.
