Kalara walked by the great ballroom in the mansion that they were currently staying in courtesy of Quatre. She heard the sound of the piano playing and someone singing along. She poked her head into the doorway and her eyes widened at the sight she saw.
Never in a million years did she think she would see this. Heero Yuy and Duo Maxwell were sharing the piano bench with Heero playing and Duo singing. A small movement caught Kalara's eye and she looked past Duo and Heero and saw Wufei sitting under one of the many large windows, lost in a book. 'Well. Don't they make a pretty picture?' she thought.
She recognized the song being played. It was an old one, from before the colonies. It was a sad melancholy tune of a man regretting breaking up with his lover. Duo sang with such passion, as if this was truly happening to him. Heero was equally passionate in his playing and the combination caused tears to form Kalara's eyes. A few slipped down her cheek when the song ended. 'That was beautiful,' she thought, truly amazed. She never imagined that the two Gundam pilots knew how to create such beautiful music, let alone care to. She never knew Heero held so much passion behind that expressionless mask of his.
Then Heero started playing the intro to Kalara's favorite song. Duo looked at him in question. He apparently didn't recognize the song. Kalara smiled and started singing in Duo's place.
"Like the sound of silence calling
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling
Lost in a dream"
Two heads turn to look as Kalara walked into the room. She smiled as she continued to sing. Heero faltered only a moment then continued to play strongly and smoothly.
"And like the echoes of our souls are meeting
You say those words my heart stops beating
I wonder what it means"
Duo stood when she reached the piano and offered his hand to her for a dance. Kalara accepted and Duo started whirling her around the ballroom as she continued to sing.
"What could it be?
That comes over me
At times I can't move
At times I can hardly breathe
When you say you love me
The world goes still
So still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment
There's no one else alive"
The pair smiled at each other as they circled the wooden floor completely oblivious to Heero watching over the piano and Wufei peeking over the top of his book; the book concealed Wufei's smile.
"And when you're with me
If I close my eyes
There are times I swear
I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time
Somewhere between
The heavens and earth
I'm frozen in time
Oh, when you say those words.
When you say you love me
The world goes still
So still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment
There's no one else alive
And this journey that we're on
How far we've come and I
Celebrate every moment
Cause when you say you love me
That's all you have to say
I'll always feel this way
When you say you love me
The world goes still
So still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment
I know why I'm alive
When you say you love me"
Kalara stopped dancing to look into Duo's bright violet eyes and sang the last few lines.
"When you say you love me
Do you know
How I love you?"
She placed her hands on either side of his face and pressed her lips to his in a sweet kiss. A huge smile broke out on Duo's face and he pulled her close for another kiss.
"I love you too," he whispered in her ear when the kiss broke off. Kalara smiled and leaned her head against Duo's shoulder. He held her close for a moment. Then Heero started a new song. This one was slower and quieter than the last. The pair started to dance again, lost in each other's eyes.
Heero watched for a moment. Then he turned and looked at Wufei, who nodded. Heero turned back to concentrate on this playing and smiled a rare smile. 'Mission accomplished.'
