The Ocean's Caress - Part 5



Back at the room, Heero entered, his arm wrapped around Duo, both were drenched from the downpouring rain. Heero sat Duo down on the bed, and wrapped him up in a towel, kneeling in front of the violet-eyed boy, before tenderly stroking his cheek. " Why were you up there, Duo? "

" Because.. I thought.. I thought you had went to that Relena girl, you said you would only be gone shortly, and here it is, days later, and you finally get here. And even if you hadn't gone to her, you might've been dead. A lot of help that is. "

" Duo, I'm never going to leave you for, " Heero shuddered at the name, " Relena. And I didn't get killed, obviously. "

" So, where were you? Why weren't you here? " Duo asked defiantly.

" They had more backups than predicted, and then Wufei had us heading in the oppisite direction to get back.. " Heero smirked at the memory, before turning his attention back to Duo, who, started smirking as well. The two boys sat for a second, dwelling in their thoughts.

A sudden outburst knocked the two out of their reveries, as they both went to the door, only to nealy be run over by a happy Quatre, who's smile could not possibly get any bigger.

" The war -- it's OVER!! We WON! " Quatre shouted, hugging both of them, before running downstairs. Duo and Heero both stared in shock for a moment.

Duo was the first to recover, as he instantly glomped onto Heero. " HEERO! IT'S OVER! WE WON!! " Heero smiled a little, and hugged Duo, who smiled a real smile.

" Aishiteru, Duo. "

" Aishiteru, Heero. Gomen ne. .. And, by the way, what WAS it that you were going to give me? " Duo inquired, still curious about that.

Heero blinked, before remembering, and let go of Duo, to walk over to his dresser, and opened up the middle drawer, rummaging around, and pulling out a relatively small object covered in cloth. " It isn't wrapped well, but.. " Heero walked back over to Duo, his long strides making him get there .. well, fast.

Duo took the ( badly ) wrapped gift, and slowly unwound it from the cloth, and found a shiny, golden cross on a chain. Duo looked up at Heero, left speechless.

" I found it downstairs, under the couch, it must've fallen or something, so I took it to a jeweler to shine it up, and get the kinks out of the chain. " Heero explained.

" Th-thank you so much, Heero.. I had lost it, and couldn't figure out where I might've left it.. Thank you! " Duo said, running his fingers over the cross gently, before wrapping his arms around Heero, and hugging him.

" I'll love you forever, Duo. "

Duo smiled, and hugged Heero, tightly.

Duo and Heero walked quietly together, in a park, the evening colours being displayed upon the sky. A smile played upon Duo's lips, as Heero approached a park bench, and gently touched Duo's shoulders, indicating that the long-haired boy should sit.

Duo sat down, and blinked curiously at Heero. " Just what are you up to, Yuy? "

" Hush, I'm trying to do something.. MAXWELL. " Heero said, smirking.

Duo arched an eyebrow, before getting a look of pure bewilderment, as Heero kneeled on one knee, a smile playing upon his teirs. Heero reached into his pocket, and pulled out a small, ebony, velvet box, and opened it, before asking, " Duo Maxwell, would you do me the honour of marrying me..? "

Duo sat shocked for a few seconds, before nodding, his face still in shock.

Heero couldn't help but smile at Duo's expression, as he slid the ring onto Duo's slender ring finger. Duo got off the bench, and grinned, while hugging Heero to death.



By the way...


Relena got so pissed off a few years back, when she found out about Duo and Heero's relationship, that she started going out with Dorothy Catalonia, just to make Heero jealous, but wound up falling in love with her anyway. Heero and Duo later moved to a beachside house, and still live there. They have a dog, too. Just FYI.



You are waiting on a beach
For a healing word to come
Maybe an apology in a bottle
Maybe a flare that says, " I'm sorry "
And the hurting leaves you numb

Will you forgive?
Will you forget?
Will you live what you know?
He left his rights
Will you life yours?
You don't understand it
Let it go

You are waiting on a beach
This is where the east meets west
And as another sun sets on your anger
The darkness laughs, as the wound destroys
And it turns your prayers to noise

Will you forgive?
Will you forget?
Will you live what you know?
He left his rights
Will you life yours?
You don't understand it
Let it go

This bitterness you hide
It seeps into your soul
And it steals your joy
'Til it's all you know
Let it go

Will you forgive?
Will you forget?
Will you live what you know?
He left his rights
Will you life yours?
You don't understand it
Let it go

Will you forgive?
Will you forget?
Will you live what you know?
Beneath the cross
You hear His words,
" Father, forgive them "
And you know
You can't understand it
Let it go

- Newsboys
- " Let it go "
