Wufei's Secret

"Why can't I stop thinking about her," angrily thought Wufei.
The solitary dragon had been practicing with his katana when her face
had just appeared in his mind. "She was weak."

Since his wife's death years before Wufei had pretty much kept
to himself. He was known as the solitary dragon. Not even the other
Gundams could stand his company for long.

"Ah," he cried bringing his sword in an arc slash. He stood
there for a moment, sides heaving and sweat was pouring down his back
while he panted. But what hurt him was that he wasn't sweating
because of the work, but because of her face etched in his mind.

Meanwhile another person was thinking about him. "Why didn't
he kill me when he had the chance, he just called me weak!" she
shouted, frustrated.

She concentrated on the paper in front of her but the numbers
all just seemed to look like they were written in a language from
long ago. Then she saw his face. It just sort of lingered there
in front of her.

"Wufei, why can't I stop thinking of you?"

Wufei could almost hear a voice saying, "Wufei why can't I
stop thinking of you," her voice. He slapped himself with his
katana. But the pain did not make the image go away. He resumed
practice but his demeanor wasn't as graceful, it was just distracted.

That night while he lay sleeping he had fitful dreams that he
couldn't manage to keep at bay. Dreams about her. When he awoke he
found that there was a message on his answering machine.

"Oi, Wufei how are ya doin? Hilde and I were wondering if
you want to come to a little get together at our place tonight.
Everyone is going to be there and it would be great if you could
come to," came the cheerful sound of Duo's voice.

"Yea and its not formal or anything so come in jeans," piped
in the small voice of Hilde. As much as he would like not to go,
Wufei knew that he would so he could see his friends again. He
dialed their number and after about four rings they finally picked
up.

"Hey Wufei," came the cheerful sound of Duo's voice as he
popped up onto the vidwindow.

"I got your message," replied Wufei in his monotone voice.

"So are you coming?" Duo asked.

"I guess I am, it would be nice to see everyone again,
just no drinking Duo," Wufei answered making a lame attempt at a
joke.

"Alright that's great, we'll see you tonight then," Duo
answered.

"Bye," Wufei hung up the phone. Then he wondered if she
was going to be there and his face drained of all its color. But
it was too late to change his mind.

He looked at the clock, 7:30, he should start to get ready
for the party. As he pulled on his jeans and black shirt, he
thought about what she would be wearing if she went. Probably
jeans and a T-shirt also, she wasn't one to go all out on clothing.

Walking out to his motorcycle, he gave himself a once over
in the mirror. "Well, I guess this will have to do." He locked
his front door and hopped on his motorcycle.

Later, he had arrived at the party. Duo opened the front
door and gave him a big smile, "Wufei I'm glad you could make it."
He led him in and Wufei saw that Quatre, Dorothy, Trowa, Catherine,
Heero, Relena, and oh horrors! She was already here too!

"Hey Wufei, it's great to see you," yelled Quatre as he
walked over with two glasses of punch in his hand. One he gave
to Wufei.

"Maxwell didn't make this did he?" asked Wufei suspiciously.

"No, don't worry, I did," answered Quatre.

"Oh, in that case I'll drink it." He took a long sip of
the punch and tried to keep himself from glancing her way. "She
looks lovely tonight," he thought to himself.

The doorbell rang and in walked Sally Po, a preventer who
worked with Wufei. "Hey Wufei," she smiled.

"Hey Sally, how are things?"

"Just great," she replied and ran off to go talk to the
other girls that were there. Wufei looked around and saw that
Heero was sitting by himself. He walked over and sat down with
him. The two just sat in silence until Heero decided to speak.

"Wufei, how have things been at the preventers?"

"Not too bad, did Relena drag you here?" Wufei replied.
Heero nodded and couldn't help but smile when Duo overheard and
made a pretense of wrapping a string around his finger.

The party dragged on and about an hour later, SHE came
over. Wufei was standing alone at the minute while the guys went
to get some food.

"Hi, Wufei, how's it going?"

"Ok," he answered, " how have things been going with you
Noin?" He was aware that he was shaking and he could imagine that
sweat was literally pouring down his forehead.

"Please, call me Lu, the war is over. Hey Wufei, can I
talk to you privately?"

"Sure, do you want to go out onto the porch?" Noin nodded
and they walked out to the porch. The night air was cool and the
sounds of crickets could be heard. Fireflies lit up the night with
their little twinkling. They sat there for a moment in silence.

Noin who was never wanting to keep things to herself suddenly
spoke, "Wufei, I have a major problem, I can't stop thinking about
you. It started that first time I saw you, you were the punk that
blew up the Victoria base but I couldn't help but admire your
courage. Then when I saw you on Peacmillion it just intensified."

"Are you serious," questioned Wufei.

"Yes, and don't think me stupid because I really feel
that way. At the same time I can't help but feel I'm betraying
Zechs though."

"You should always go by your emotions, and you're not
stupid, I feel the same way about you. I felt it also that time
at Lake Victoria, I may have called you weak but I also was
admiring your courage."

"Oh Wufei." Wufei took her in his arms and held her tightly.

"Ashiteru Lu," he whispered as he captured her mouth with
his. She could only nod in return, but her eyes showed her love to
him.

In a car below Zechs Marquis sat watching. A tear rolled
down his cheek.

"I hope you'll be happy Noin," he sighed as he drove off
into the night. He cranked up the radio and listened to
his own thoughts belting out into the stillness of the night...


If I had just one wish,
Only one demand,
I hope he's not like me,
I hope he understands.
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand.
And he can breathe the world
With arms wide open,
With arms wide open.





I also do not own Creed or their song Arms Wide Open.

Well, what did you think? I wanted to make an unusual pairing
that no one has ever thought of before. Is it good? Is it bad?
I will accept any flames except those on my character pairing.
I would also accept any compliments to let me know I'm doing ok
on my stories. Email me at kairosdreamer@aol.com Thanks!
