Against All Odds
~ Against All Odds ~ Disclaimer: Gundam Wing is not mine. The song is not mine. The crappy 9 page story I wrote for English is mine. Fortunately you aren't reading the crappy story. Consider yourself lucky. I had to read it. I wrote it.

This fic ended totally not how I wanted it to. Congratulations if you understood that last sentence.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* How can I just let you walk away

Relena takes a few, hesitant steps away from Heero..


Just let you leave without a trace

Then she turns her back and runs…


When I stand here taking every breath with you

Heero's heart constricts, watching her fleeing form…


You're the only one who really knew me at all

'Relena….'

How can you just walk away from me

Relena stops running a little distance away, noticeable to Heero, but he is just staring at the spot where she was standing, his eyes hidden…


When all I can do is watch you leave

She just stands there as Heero walks away, to his Gundam…


'Cause we shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears

Her eyes well up with tears, and she tries not to cry, but a solitary tears slides down her cheek…


You're the only one who really knew me at all

'Heero…'

So take a look at me now

Heero turns around, unconsciously hoping that Relena will be back there, coming after him…


'Cause there's just an empty space

But she isn't there…


There's nothing left here to remind me

His heart aches again, and he turns back to his Gundam..


Just the memory of your face

And he thinks of her beautiful face…

So take a look at me now

More tears stream down Relena's face, but she makes no attempt to wipe them away..


When there's just an empty space

She watches him turn towards her, then turn back and continue walking to his Gundam…


And you're comin' back to me is against all odds

"It's suicide…" she whispers to the wind…


And that's what I've got to face

"But he's gonna do it anyway…" she tells herself before rushing to her limo and wiping her tear stained cheeks…

I wish I could just make you turn around

The next day Heero is in Wing Zero, preparing to go on his suicide mission, when he spots Relena standing there, back to him, talking to Duo and Hilde..


Turn around to see me cry

'She almost looks… happy that I'm going…' he thinks to himself, and a lone tear falls down his cheek…


There's so much I need to say to you

'She'll move on' he tells himself… 'It's natural, when someone you love dies you move on… find someone new…' his mind taunts…


So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

Heero's hands clench at his sides, his mind taunting him, trying to send him over the edge…

So take a look at me now

'I wonder if he can see me?..' wonders Relena… 'Well, I hope he's happy, he doesn't want me in his life anyway..'


There's just an empty space

She walks off as Wing Zero finishes preparing to leave…


There's nothing left here to remind me

Then she fetches out an old, worn, tatty photo, of her and Heero dancing..


Just the memory of your face

She takes a long look at it, then drops it into the nearby bin, and walks away..



So take a look at me now

Heero watches Relena walk off, then takes off in Wing Zero, watching the spot where she had been standing until he can no longer see it..


'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do

'I will get back to her..' he vows to himself before concentrating on his mission…


And that's what I've got to face

He throws all his energy into controlling Wing Zero, as 2 old, tatty pictures of a young, brown haired boy and blonde haired girl dancing simultaneously flutter to the floor of a bin and a mobile suit...



Take a good look at me now

Relena stops suddenly while walking away, then runs back to where Heero's Gundam was..


'Cause I'll be standing here

"I never said goodbye!!!" she cries out as she gets closer and closer to Wing Zero's hanger..


And you comin' back to me

But his Gundam, and him, are gone…


Is against all odds

"Heero… " she whispers…


It's the chance I've gotta take

"I'll wait for you.." she announces to the empty hanger…
