GW isn't mine...You know the rest!
^.^
"Remember the first time with Zechs?" Sam turned his attention back to Alex.
"You say it like we did something dirty."
"Oh, shut up."
"Yea I remember. How could I not? He kept yelling at be because I was not doing something correctly, but he was yelling in bloody German! It was good though, skydiving. You really got into that one." said Heero as he continues to look on as Zechs gave a demonstration on how to fold a parachute.
"It took a little while but I had practice getting over my whole fear of heights thing. You know, all that bungee jumping and zip-lining." Heero gave a snorted laugh at the comment and looked back at his partner and smiled. "You wanna know what I liked most about the sky diving? You know how it is when you first go up, all the noise from the plane propellers. And then you know when you first jump, the noise of the air rushing past you as you fall is so loud that you can barely hear yourself think. What I liked the most is when I would pull the chute, all of that would just go away. There would just be this complete silence as you glided around up there. Where everything was just peaceful and perfect. That's what I liked the most. That peace."
"Is it like that now? Peaceful?"
"Yes."
The whole service had come to a close and the participants headed toward the cemetery.
"This is kinda weird, isn't it. Watching myself get buried I mean."
"Yea, it is. I remember when you did it to me. I was completely freaked out. I know I'm suppose to be the God of Death and all but still..."
"So what exactly is it that you want?"
"You."
"Me?"
"Come with me."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because…"
"'Because' is not an answer." Duo said looking at Heero who was unsuccessfully evading his glare. The casket was being slowly lowered into the ground. They watched with the rest of the crowd in silence.
"Because you weren't there."
"What?"
"Because you weren't there, and I needed you. Because you fell and left me alone and I needed you. Because I don't want to leave them alone." Heero said while looking at their family standing at the other side of the casket. "What if they need me?"
"They may need you, that's true. But the thing is you can't do anything for them anymore. And besides, with the way you raised them they'll turn to each other for support and that'll get them through anything that comes along." Duo turned to look at Heero. "And Ro, I never left you. I've always been here waiting for you. You just couldn't see me, which is exactly what will happen if you stay here. Come with me… Let go of all the hurt and fear you have built up inside and come with me. It was an accident love. There is nothing you or I could have done to have stopped it or changed it. It was just my time to go."
"Your time to go! I'm the one who wanted to do that stupid rock climbing anyway. It should have been me. I should never have let you go first."
"I wanted to and it's okie what happened. It's no one's fault. You need to let it go."
"How, how can I? How can I just let go of something that ruined my life!"
"Because you life's over now!"
Heero looked at Duo in disbelief, eyes open wide, mouth hung loosely, speechless. It had only been four days since he had died. The implications of the event had yet to sink in. The priest said one final blessing and everyone present began reciting the rosary as dirt was piled into the hole.
"I'm dead."
"Yes."
"No, I'm… I'm dead."
"Yyyyeeees?"
"No, like I'm dead. I'm the opposite of alive."
"I'm pretty sure that's what being dead is."
"Then I've already done it. I've already left them alone."
There was a long pause. Everyone gathered filter away as the service came to a close.
"Eighty two years. You have to admit it was a pretty good run and you still don't look a day over twenty three."
"Yea. I do don't I?"
"As beautiful as the day we got married."
"I missed you, you know. The way you laugh would make everything better. The your smile would fill any room with light. The way you would kiss me, make love to me."
"I know you did." Duo wrapped his arms around Heero. "Come with me lover. The kids will be okie ya know."
"I know, but it's still hard letting go."
"Come with me."
There was another long pause in which Heero did not answer. The service was over, the body buried and the mourners gone.
"Okie."
"Really?"
"Yea. So, what now?"
"I don't know. I was waiting for you. I honestly thought you would be a bit more stubborn and need more persuasion if you know what I mean." Duo raised his eyebrows suggestively.
"Duo, seriously?" Heero smiled, "where's the white light or whatever?"
"Haven't got a clue, but there is this door that has been following me around. It's been freaking me out a little."
"What door?" Duo pointed behind him. "Ohhhh, that door."
"What?"
"Well I probably would not have chosen that colour."
"What's wrong with purple?"
"Seriously, purple for a door. Don't you think it's a bit … gay?"
"But I am gay Heero."
Duo giggled as Heero inspected the door.
"Come on, let's just go in."
