Uh... this is my first GW attempt... *peeks fearfully* Just
a short ficlet. Don't be too harsh if this isn't good,
pretty please? With a Duo-sundae on top?
Duo: Hee-chan! Take me away~!! She's writing a death fic!
Heero: Hn. Exactly as it says - it's only a fic.
Duo: *sulks*
Heero: Baka... *hugs*
Duo: ^_______^ V
Alright... here goes nothing.
Heero: It's not like you got anything to start with.
Shaddup.

Blue.
Crystalline blue.
The waves rolled in and out, just like dancing sea nymphs, dancing
their endless waltz, with the sea's murmur as accompaniment. So
smooth, so relaxing.
Water... water so blue, so bright, as if it was not real.
No! It was real, this had to be real. I could tell the difference
between dreams and reality... or could I?
Gently, I dipped a finger into the water - a refreshing chill - and
lifted the limpid liquid up. The aqua droplets slid down my arm and
stained my oversized t-shirt wet, but I didn't care.
Nothing mattered anymore.
Not since the day when I lost my soul to the unforgiving darkness.
I did not purge myself into the depth of guiltiness, truly, I
didn't. I merely shrugged and laughed. Laughed until I fell
breathless, laughed until everyone declared me insane, laughed until
I forced him away... laughed until I fell asleep, with the blazing
blue eyes glancing down at me for the last time.
Asleep.
Am I crazy? Maybe, but painfully sane to be mad.
I'm confusing you, aren't I? I wouldn't bother apologizing, 'cause I
never made sense to anyone, except him. Really. He was the only one
who understood, the only one who saw me. The real me. The
frightened boy, though I never admitted it, who was graced with
Death's touch one too many times.
Again, I dipped my finger into the water, and this time, I submerged
both of my hands in it. Oh, this feels so good...
Staring at the sand beneath, I smiled. I slowly lowered my feet
inside as well, loving every sensation the sea was providing me. The
smooth sand snuggled comfortably against my bare feet.
My hands were beginning to numb at the length of time in the icy
water.
But I didn't care.
Nothing mattered anymore.
I waded myself into the sea's embrace, its eternal embrace.
You must be horrified to see me disappearing - no, merging with the
sea. But don't be, my friend. I'm just going to where I belonged.
The sea freed me, gave me wings.
Kiseki no Umi, sea of miracles.
