ONE LAST TEAR SHED, NEVER MORE
Can't believe it baby
This feeling inside
Can't believe it honey
The things I'd do for you
I'd cross any ocean
I'd go to the farthest outreaches of space
To come home to your bedroom window
Baby don't you know
I'd do anything
To come back to you
I see you standing there
With your tears, running down your face
And your arms, holding so tight
To your teddy bear
Baby I didn't leave you
I told you, I'd come back
Baby don't you know I love you
How could ever even doubt that?
Baby I'm sorry
That I scared you and made you sad
But I fulfilled my promise
Cause baby
I came back
To you
SOMEWHERE IN SPACE, HEERO'S P.O.V:
I float, weightless, in the endless black space, my body torn and beaten. I had done it though, I had triumphed. And I had protected her. Now I feel myself drifting off to sleep, blissfully aware of my body losing heat and freezing, rendering me unable to feel my battered arms and legs. I knew one day I would die in battle, but I had hoped that I would die closer to home. Closer to her. But that's okay, I had completed my mission and now I could go to sleep. Half conscious I can see a light flying toward me, growing brighter as it comes closer. So this is the bright light everyone always says happens when you die, I think as I finally slip into the blackness that has beckoned me my whole life. Heh, I wonder if Duo lives here......
RELENA'S P.O.V:
No, it couldn't be true. They had to be lying, you would never do this to me. This must be a sick joke that everyone is playing, trying to lighten the mood after a battle. But no, I can see from their faces it's not. No, no, how could you? They all stand around me, each has a different emotion plastered on their face. Quatre is crying, his face possessed by grief. Wufei, always the loner, has his eyes tell the whole story. He is sad, he doesn't think that this way the way for anyone to go, especially not you. Trowa is silent as usual, his eyes blank and cold but I do not think he realizes the tears that have escaped and are now running down his cheeks. Duo, though, shows it all. Anger, guilt, grief, and rage. Rage at what happened, rage at those who had caused this. Anger and guilt from not stopping you doing what you did, grief for loosing his best friend. I find myself in the circle of Quatre's arms, my face pressed against his chest. I do not want to be held though. You were the only one who was supposed to hold me, you were the one that was supposed to comfort me when I cried. But now you've left me. How could you? How could you leave me all alone? How could you take my heart from me and crush it into thousands of pieces to soar on the wind. How could you! I rip myself away from Quatre and run upstairs leaving the 4 Gundam pilots downstairs, all looking at the place where I had disappeared. All knowing there was nothing they could do to make me feel better. I wouldn't feel better for a long, long time.
I run up the stairs blindly, bumping into the landing when I reach the top. I push myself away from the wall and continue running down the hall. I finally reach my room and throw myself on my bed, my tears splattering my pillow. It couldn't be true, Heero. It couldn't! You said you were coming back. You promised! They must have not looked hard enough when they said they looked for you. You must have been hidden or something. You wouldn't die like that, you wouldn't leave me here all alone! I pound the bed fiercely, my fists making soft ploosh-ing noises. Why did you have to detonate? Why did you have to be the one? Why not Trowa or Quatre or even Duo? Why you?? I finally run out of tears and sit up on the edge of my bed, my hair obscuring my view. Through my veil of hair I can see the teddy bear you had gotten me for my birthday. It sits alone on my windowsill, looking almost sadly out in the night. Maybe even at space where you are. I slowly rise from the bed and walk over, my steps hesitant. Taking one arm cautiously I hold it up to look at it's face, forever in a smile. The smile that you showed me before you left. Tonight though, the bear doesn't make me feel happy. Instead it reminds me of what we could have had, if you weren't so......... perfect. If you didn't care so much about everyone, even though you tried to hide behind your mask. A new flood of tears threatens at the back of my eyes and I curl up on my window seat, the bear tucked under one of my arms. Slowly the tears fall as I remember when we met and our first real kiss, my eyes wandering across the sky, almost as if searching for you. But that's silly, your not coming back. I hug the teddy bear tighter and feel myself falling into a blissful sleep devoid of dreams and the pain. My tears dry on my face as the lonely moon watches over me, it's light providing some comfort. I sleep without dreams.
ONE YEAR LATER, RELENA'S P.O.V:
It is our anniversary of our first kiss, given to me right before you died. I stand in the graveyard clad in black, looking at the empty grave marked by a lying tombstone. They didn't know you. They didn't know who you were, how wonderful and caring you were. They didn't know you but they made your tombstone to mark your empty grave. Empty, key word. I push back a strand of honey blond hair behind my ear and look out into the sky. It still doesn't seem like your dead, that you won't be coming back. Everyone but me has accepted that your gone. I won't though. Never. I know you, and I know you'll come back to me. I sigh, still looking at the sky. I wonder where ever you are, if your looking down at me. Watching me. I like to think that. Especially those nights where I dream about you before you left. It's weird, but I know about your final goodbye. I saw what you saw, felt what you felt. Maybe it was your last gift to me, letting me finally into your heart and knowing how you really felt during your last minutes. I hope so. One tear trickles down my face, followed my another then another. One comes to rest on my lips and I brush it away angrily. I will not cry, not on your empty grave. Feeling old some how, I turn and begin to walk back down the gravel path leading to your grave. I had purposely made sure you were on the hill looking over the ocean. The ocean that brought you into my life. I knew you would like it so I had agreed to let them place an empty grave there. A heart breaking reminder to someone who was still recovering from a heartbreak. Slowly I make my way back but something stops me. I turn back towards where I had come from and see a figure stooped over your grave, pulling up the head stone. Anger so frightening races up my spine and I find myself running back, intent on killing whoever was doing that. I suddenly skid to a stop though, about 10 feet away. I slowly sink to my knees and stare in shock.
There you are, real as the sunlight touching my face. You crouch before the now uprooted tombstone, staring at it like it was the most interesting thing in the world. The wind tickles your hair, caressing it as it fell into your eyes. With a flick of your wrist your hair is back in it's normal position. Your Prussian blue eyes scan the writing, still as cold and callus as usual. Just as beautiful as usual. Oh God, I must be dreaming. My heart begins to beat painfully and I start crying in volume. It's only my mind playing tricks on me, it has to be. You really are dead, I know it. Otherwise you would have come back to me a lot sooner. Through my sobs I cannot hear the gravel crunching as you come near me. I do not notice that your eyes, just a minute before cold, now have softened and look sad. I only notice when you kneel down beside me and touch my cheek. Were ghosts, or angels in your case, able to touch you? I slowly lift my head and find myself looking into your dark blue eyes that have been filled with an emotion I have never seen before in your eyes. Love. Suddenly you take my chin between your fingers and lightly kiss me on the lips, your lips softer that I remembered. Then you pull away and I know it's not a dream.
"Gomen Relena, sorry I kept you waiting," you softly whisper but I just shake my head. Taking a shaky head I trace your face with my fingers, feeling your warm skin underneath them. You are real, you didn't leave me alone. I suddenly laugh and throw myself at you, holding you so tight for I never want to let you go. Hesitant at first, your arms encircle my shoulders, encasing me. I just press my face deeper into your sweater and take a deep breath. No dream could smell like the ocean and a meadow at the same time. No dream would hold me in their arms like they won't ever let go. And no dream, no matter how great, could give me your love. I begin crying again, not in sadness but in happiness. These would be my last tears, then never more. I pull back my head and stare at you, my eyes misty. You unwrap one arm and gently wipe the tears from my face. I just smile before I finally say what has been in my heart forever and only grew while you were away.
"I love you Heero." You smile. Not a ghost smile or a evil smile, a true smile that transforms your face from one that was tortured by inner demons to one that belonged to a little boy, given his first kiss by the girl of his dreams.
"I love you too, Relena. Forever." I close my eyes and lay my head on his chest. I can feel myself falling asleep, but I repeat one word.
"Forever." And there we stayed the rest of the day, content to stay in each others arms. Forever.
No matter the miles
No matter the obstacles
Nothing could keep me away
Away from you
Now baby, stop cryin
Now baby, stop bein sad
You can see me standin here
With my arms open wide
Didn't I tell you, and didn't I say
That I'd be comin back
To you
Thank you baby
For letting me come back
Thank you honey
For loving me forever
Cause with your love
I'll never go astray
And you'll never have to worry
About me goin away
Because I'll always come back
Back to you........
*OWARI*
A.N: Normal disclaimers apply. To those who are wondering how the heck Heero survived, strain no longer. That little light thingy was actually a ship that picked him up. When he recovered from all his little boo-boo's he went home to Relena. That's how!(author mumbles under breath) That and all those death threats I got from all of you. (Author looks up in surprise and sees a bunch of now angry fans) Hey wait, I didn't mean it!! (waves hands frantically in the air) I loved all the reviews I got, and I really would like it if you all reviewed again. Please? (^.~) Oh, and I hope this satisfied all of you that wanted me to do a happy ending. Well ja ne and PLEASE don't forget to review!!!! ~Jadet~
