The Answer to Our Life

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing so there's no reason to get all pushy and stuff. ::glares at
the people who DO own Gundam Wing:: Haven't your parents told you how to share??!?!?! (^^; Oh
great, I'm really gonna get sued now...) I don't own the Answer to Our Life by the Backstreet
Boys. And trust me, you don't want me to write out all the credits to that song. Hell, you don't
want me to write out any credits.

AN: Intense Yoai warning. Not exactly Lime though. Sequel to Love Letter: Duo to Heero.

Duo blinked at the writing. No, it couldn't be true. How...how...he grabbed his jacket
and ran outside to his car. Without thinking, he started the engin and did 90 mph on the empty
freeway to where Heero first landed. That beach. Not caring if he got a ticket or his car got
towed, he parked it on the side of the freeway. A shadow of a man stood against the sunset. Duo
ran down the steps, nearly tripping, and dying.

****
Yeah
You see me sitting here
A smile upon my face
The time has come but you know that it's not too late
There's been too many things
Together we have seen
It's not too hard if we start to believe
And we're not gonna take anymore
Can we try to erase all the pain
So please
****

"HEERO!??!?!"
"What?"
"How...what...why..."

Duo couldn't complete his sentence since he was out of breathe. He stumbled to Heero
finally noticing that tripping down stairs can do strange things to the ankle. His ankle gave
away as he neared Heero. Heero reached out and caught him. Duo turned away so that Heero couldn't
see him blushing.

****
Show me a reason
Give me a sign
Tell me the way we
Fall outta line
Is it today or is it tonight
We'll find
The answer to our life
****

"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. So, you got my letter eh?"
"Yeah."

There was an awkward silence between the two pilots.

"Did you burn it?"
"Didn't read my response?"

Duo didn't answer at first. But after another awkward moment, he decided that he better
say something.

"I got up to the part where you said that you were coming. At least to the place where
you first crash landed on Earth."

This time, it was Heero who stayed silent. Duo looked up at him. Heero had an
uncomfortable look on his face.

****
(oh yeah)
This world is not at ease
We seem to hide the truth
Thinking there's only so much we really can do
It's up to you and me
To face our destiny
The journey's here so let's take the stand
And we're not gonna take anymore
Can we try (try) to erase all the pain
So please
****

"Duo..."
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry."

More silence.

"Sorry?"
"Yes."
"For what?"

Heero looked more uncomfortable. Then Duo noticed Heero tightened his grip a bit.

"I'm sorry I was...well...so harsh towards you."
Duo blinked. Heero continued, not looking Shinigami in the face.
"It's just that...the...way...ummm...the way you made me feel, it scared me."
Duo froze as he listened to Heero go on and on.
"I tried to hide it because I thought that it would get in the way of the mission. But
now that the war is over..."

****
Show me a reason
Give me a sign
Tell me the way we
Fall outta line
Is it today or is it tonight
We'll find (we will find)
The answer to our life
****

Duo interrupted him.
"Heero?"
Heero looked up, startled. "Yes?"
"Do you love me?"
They looked each other in the eye for the first time in years. Colbat met colbat.
"I do."

****
Tell me why we have to cry
And I try
When there's so many things we can do
To help this troubled
(Ooh) World start a new
****

Before Heero knew what was happening, Duo pressed his lips against his. Shinigami's arms
wrapped tightly around the Perfect Soldier's neck.

****
I need a reason
I need a sign
There's no turning back
I'm here by your side
Is it today or maybe tonight
We'll find
The answer to our life
****

Heero felt Duo's toungue slowly beginning to play with his own. The Perfect Soldier felt
hot chills go down his spine. He pressed back and responded to Duo's...er...actions. He ran his
hand through Shinigami's silky hair.

****
Show me the way
Give me a sign
Tell me the way we fall outta line
Is it today
(is it today)
Is it tonight
The answer to our life
****

They pulled away at the same time cause they were running out of air. Another moment of
silence. Duo then closed his eyes and rested on Heero's chest. Heero's expression softened.

"Heero?"
"Yeah?"
"Ai shiteru."
"You too. And Duo?"
"Yeah?"
"About your car..."
