Dear Heero.
Disclaimer- I do not own Gundam Wing.
This is my first(and probably last) attempt at a death fic. Well my sort of death fic anyway. I just don't like killing characters off but I thought I would try it and in doing so develop my skills. I wasn't very happy with this one but I figured I would put it up anyway as it isn't terrible. This is a one-shot as adding chapters to this piece would ruin it I think though I did get ideas for after the letter, so if this were to have a carry on story, it would be uploaded as seperate.
Hope you enjoy. xxx
Dear Heero(And dear you are.)
I know that it is too late to be telling you this. But to let you go without being able to let you know just what you meant to me would be my worst mistake.
I love you.
Three words, so simple to write on a piece of paper but yet so hard to say face to face. I suppose I felt that to say it to you would be to have admitted my vulnerability, to show there is something in this world that can affect me and can be exploited. You made me vulnerable despite your cold attitude. You made me feel something I never wished to feel again.
I found a new dream when I met you; a new view on life that lifted me. You gave me hope that the world could change if we continued to fight for it. That's why I fought so hard. Not just for the memories of the past and revenge as it started out, but for the dreams of the future. For my dream for you. That you would some day be able to learn the life that was denied you. That you would stop being the 'Perfect Soldier' and enter into being a human that I knew was hidden under the cold façade.
That's when I began trying to pick at the ice you enfolded yourself in. At first I was pushed away but I found so much more than I ever dreamed I would find and love turned into something more strong. Something that most people would give their lives away for just to have.
I suppose in a way Heero, you became my most important mission. Perhaps now you will gain understanding of my behaviour and forgive me for all those times that I annoyed you and made you put a gun to my head. Ironic, I know but I understand.
I know it seems useless to share my feelings with you now I have passed on, Shiganami as I have always been, but you have to understand.
Never give up my Koi, the life that awaits you is far greater than you realise. Live it for me and all those who have lost their life for the cause. I will never lose faith in you.
Forever yours,
Shiganami(Duo).
Ink smeared across the page, eyes blurred with unreleased emotions no longer able to be held back.
"Oh Duo…"
It had finally come, that the wall that once acted as a barrier, had turned to crumble and fall around him shattering into splitering shards and burying themselves deep inside him, a memory of all he had lost that day, a memory of the one boy who cared enough to try.
The violet eyed boy had done it at the cost of something precious more precious than Heero had ever believed existed.
Smiling sadly Heero grasped the cross tightly in his hands. "Mission complete Duo."
