Disclaimers: As of now, I own nothing. So no suing me... I have nothing anyway.
Notes: Yeah, okay... umm.... this stuff is song lyrics from the song "Are You Sad" preformed by OLP (Our Lady Peace) and the song's great, sets the mood, so if you can, download it!! ~ This stuff ~ is unspoken thoughts. And just so you know, the POV changes very briefly in the middle of the story, but I think you'll know.
THE FIC: Are You Sad?
BY: Maxwell-Yuy
Your life has been so hard
It's been dried up angels
that can't keep guard
~ I know about your past, even if you never told me. I know you're always in pain, that something from your past is eating away at you, even if I am not sure why or what it is ~
I'm trying to reach your hand
But I'm on fire
Heero watched as Duo made his way across the room. Briefly admiring the boy, he allowed himself a small smile, hoping that he could one day reach out to that lively and yet so scarred soul.
Heero sat on the couch, feverish from his moment of intense desire. ~ I want you so much, but right now all I want is to hear your voice ~ He placed his stoic mask back onto his features and awaited the braided boy's usual cheerful greeting.
I never planned to fade away
Stay with me
The American walked right through the room without making a sound; his face cast down towards the dull floorboards. Heero looked up in time catch a fleeting expression of sorrow tainting the frequently beautiful and jubilant face of Duo Maxwell. The long-haired pilot retreats into the bedroom he shares with the Prefect Soldier.
Would you stop pretending
when they say you're nothing
~ Duo? ~ Heero thinks, slightly frowning.
Are you sad?
Are you holding yourself?
Are you locked in your room?
You shouldn't be
A stunned Heero remains in the living room. ~ Hn. I knew something was wrong. Why do you run into isolation? Why can't you run to me? You shouldn't be alone, Duo. You should be with someone who you can turn to... ~
Are you sad?
Are you holding yourself?
Are you locked in your room?
You shouldn't be
Duo runs into his bedroom and locks the door. Curling up on his bed, holding his knees close to his chest and shaking, he breaths deeply. ~ I can't keep it all locked up inside forever. Locking myself away won't lock away the feelings. They won't disappear... so if I know all this, then why can't I just face the truth? Why do I keep it all inside when I can tell someone? ~
I'm drowning inside your head
Help me to answer
Help understand
why it's been so long
since we talked like friends
~ Duo, why is it that you never come to me anymore? You used to sit for hours talking to me about everything and nothing. I know you thought I wasn't listening, but I was. I wouldn't give up even one of those moments for the world... So what happened? Did I change? Did you change? Did the world change and force us apart? I need to know, please... please tell me, talk to me... ~
Please, forgive me
I'm just a man who makes mistakes
Stay with me
~ What's going on, Duo? Did I do something wrong? I want to go to you, to comfort you. I want to tell you how I feel. I want to tell you how happy you make me, how sweet a room smells when you enter it, how the clouds part for you and the sun shines... how you make my heart race and my head spin... I just need you to stay with me. Stay with me until I can bring myself to tell you these things. Stay with me until I can shed my mask and openly offer you my love, my life. ~
Would you stop pretending
when they say you're nothing
~ Stop pretending that everything's fine. You know it's not. I know it's not. And I'm going to do everything I can to make things right again. You don't need to hide from me. I'll never reject you, I'll never judge you. I've accepted you as you are, even if it's against my training to do so. I've accepted every part of you, even the past that you try so hard to keep secret. ~
Heero got up from where he sat, venturing up to his room - their room, determined to soothe his comrade, his love.
Are you sad?

Are you locked in your room?
