Chapter Five

Forgiveness

VTEEN

Disclaimers Note: Ok, for sure this chapter will have the song in it. I don't own GW or the characters, but Miel was someone I made up, so SHE"S MINE!!!!! Once again the song is For All That I Am by A-Teens. I've changed the title of this chapter to Forgiveness instead of More feelings. Ja ne.

Meanwhile, Hilde was on a disposal ship heading for the Nebula. She was extremely worried that something had happened to Duo. In her heart, she was hoping that Duo would make it, and so would she. But, she had this nagging feeling something terrible was going to happen.

"Mrs. Maxwell, we've almost reached the ship. You better get your things ready." "Thank you, very much for taking time off from your work to help me get here. Duo means everything in the world to me. I don't know how..........................." "You don't need to thank me, miss. I know how you feel. Run along now, you need to get your things. We'll be docking soon." The captain left her side to then begin commanding the ship again. Hilde went to her quarters to get her things.

"Well, this is my room, so you better go back to doing your chores." Duo and Miel had arrived at his room. "Wait a minute Duo, let's talk for a little bit." "Okay."

"What do you want to talk about?" "About yesterday, when I kissed you........" "Yeah, why did you do that?" "I don't know what came over me, it was like a sudden rush of emotion." "I felt I needed to." "You needed to?"

Duo's mind was racing. "What am I doing?" "I can't fall in love with her." "She can't fall in love with me." "I have a wife and kid." "My heart is pounding, I can't think straight." "I don't know what to do?" "Should I tell her?" "I don't know."

"But, she's so beautiful.......................................

"Duo, hey Duo are you okay?" "Stop it with that voice." "It's driving me nuts!" "Uh, yeah I'm okay?" "You sure?" "Yeah."

"Duo, I have to tell you something." "I'm not sure how it will make you feel, but I've been hiding it from you, and I can't hide it from you any longer." "Holy crap, I know what she's going to say." "Duo.............I..................I.....................................

"I love you."

Duo's eyes widened in surprise. "What did you say?" "I said I love you." Duo was about to protest when Miel saw something on his hand. "What is that?" She took his hand in hers. She touched the small golden wedding ring he had on his finger.

"It's my wedding ring."

"Your married?!"

"Yes."

"How could you not tell me about this!" "You tell me this now after I've fallen in love with you!"

"Miel, I'm really sorry, but I think I've fallen for you too." "What?!" "I said, I've fallen for you too." "I, I don't understand?" "How could you not!!" "I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOU, MIEL, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT!!" Miel just stood there tears streaming down her face. She couldn't believe the man that she loved was yelling at her, nor could she believe that he was married.

"Hey, are you okay?" "Yes........................................ She collapsed on the bed sobbing into Duo's arms. "Hey sweetie, it's okay." He picked her head off his lap and rested it on his chest. "I know, I'm scared too." "I don't know where this is going to lead us."

Miel just listened to him talk about what if Hilde found out, and how would his son deal with it, while she softly cried.

"Miel, I know it's very hard, but, I just can't stop thinking about you." "But Duo, it's wrong!" "You, have a wife and kid!" "What are you going to do if she finds out, and your son..........................................................................................................

All of a sudden Miel wasn't talking anymore. She opened her eyes to see Duo kissing her. A sudden rush of emotion went through her, saying don't let go. And she didn't let go. She felt so content with Duo's arms wrapped around her body. But, at the same time, these feelings were all so new to her. She had never felt this way before. Duo's lips were warm and invigorating. He kissed her with such skill and experience. She couldn't possibly let go, for forever losing this moment of passionate expression they called love. His embrace felt strong and protective, like he didn't want to let her go. But she didn't care, for as long as they were together, nothing else mattered.

On the other hand, Duo was enjoying this moment as well. He couldn't believe he was actually doing this! Inside of him he felt two emotions, guilt and passion. Guilt because he was betraying Hilde and kissing someone that he loved, but was married to someone else.(aka: cheating) Passion because she was furious that he had cheated on Hilde, but when she started crying, he felt sorry for her, and wanted to kiss her to make her feel better.

Meanwhile, Hilde had found her way onto the ship, beating off some guards, and then proceeded to find Duo's room.

"Where is it", she mumbled to herself. She remembered one of the guards whispering about a new prisoner in Corridor E, Room 3. She hoped he was right.

She followed the ancient markings on the walls to Corridor E, Room 3. But going to that room, at that very second was a bad idea. For looking into the room, to her horror, she saw Duo kissing another woman. Her heart broke into a million pieces. She would've never thought Duo would be that selfish, foolish, and even stupid enough to betray her like that. She took one last look into the room, and then collapsed on the floor, sobbing.

When they broke away, they were embarrassed to look at each other. "Why did you kiss me?" "Because it seemed like you wanted it." "Because you were crying." "And you were sorry for me?!" "Yes." "I enjoyed it though." "I'm glad you did." "At first, I felt kind of stupid for making such a sudden move on you." "But then, when you didn't protest, I just kept right on going." "You know, that was my first kiss," Miel said. "Really!?" "Yep." Well, I'm gonna get back to my chores." You better go to bed." "I will." He watched her walk away, never taking his eyes off of her.

Miel walked out the door, but was surprised to find Hilde on the floor crying. "Excuse me miss, is something wrong." Hilde looked up at the woman, her eyes still filled with tears. For some strange reason, she recognized her. All of a sudden, her mood changed from sadness to anger. "YOU!" Hilde slapped her across the face. Miel was caught with shock, as she felt the sting on her cheek. "What the hell did you do that for!" "What do you think, you BITCH!!"

Duo was just about to fall asleep, when he heard Hilde say bitch. He rushed out of his room, slammed the door open, only to find Miel standing there, a bruise starting to form on her cheek, and Hilde furious, her eyes brimming with anger.

Duo was surprised that Hilde was here. But, he couldn't look at her, for he knew what he had done. He couldn't say anything, because he knows she will yell at him. And he can't even stand that either. After a long pause, he looked up, gathered his courage and said:

"Hilde, what are you doing here?" "Oh, don't you dare ask me that question, mister!" "Because, you know quite well why I am here." "What for?" "How stupid can you be!" "To save your f**ken ass!" Duo flinched. "And right now, I am really pissed off at you." Duo turned towards Miel. "Miel, you'd better leave." "I have to speak with her alone." Miel didn't say anything. She just walked away.

"What the hell do you think you were doing!" "I thought you loved me Duo!" "Hilde, I don't know what went wrong." "Something just came over me." "Came over ya, huh." "Well, what kind of lame excuse is that!" "Look, I'm sorry ok!" "I'm not picking sides here." "What is that supposed to mean?" "It means, I'm not putting her over you." "Look, let me tell you what happened."

Then Duo began to explain about all the things him and Miel went through. "Miel seemed so lost and confused, and the only other way I could help her was to comfort her."

For All That I Am-A-Teens

Sorry........

Made you feel sorry

Last night, I came home too late

And you were there waiting

I know, it's easy to call

I guess I wasn't thinking of you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I know I made a mistake of not thinking of you, when I was kissing her, but will you ever forgive me?

~~~~~~~~

It's not that I don't care

You should know me

Better by now

I am sorry if I made you lonely and sad

I am sorry if I made you feel bad

What I'm trying to say

I'm not always that way

So Love me for all that I am

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well I don't really know, because this is something very serious." You broke my heart, Duo." "I was really scared, that you might not come back to me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know,(I know) I often forget

To say that I love you(That I love you)

And yes,(and yes) I truly regret

The times I might have hurt you that way

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I know sometimes I forget to say that I love you." "And I regret hurting you these ways." "But, please Hilde." They walked to the window.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's not that I don't care

You should know me

Better by now(Better by now...................)

I am sorry if I made you lonely and sad

I am sorry I made you feel bad

What I'm trying to say

I'm not always that way

So Love me for all that I am

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hilde turned her back on Duo and did not want to face him because she was afraid he might try to kiss her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

True,

I may defend the things I do

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But, Duo turned her around to face him and held her there. She tried to squirm out of his grasp but, he wouldn't let her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Though I know deep down I've done wrong

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hilde tried to slap Duo's face, but he caught her hand, just in the nick of time. She was surprised he had such quick reflexes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But when the heat comes down

It's you(and it's you)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Duo started to lean his head down. Hilde didn't know what to do. She wasn't sure if she should accept this kiss, from a man that's cheated on her already. "Oh, what the hell, I'll take it." "He is my man anyway."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That keeps me going on

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And then they kissed, under the crystal clear moonlit sky.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Instrumental

For all that I am..............

Sorry...

Made you feel sorry..........

Trying to say I'm not always that way

Love me for all................

I am sorry if I made you lonely and sad

I am sorry I made you feel bad

What I'm trying to say

I'm not always that way

So Love me for all that I am

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then he was picking her up, swinging her around, and they were happy. Then she said, "I forgive you." Duo was soooo happy at that moment, he was beaming with pride.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

For all that I am(That I am)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hilde, I'm sorry I made you feel lonely and sad, and I'm sorry I made you feel bad. "But, what I'm trying to say, I'm not always that way. I just want you to love me for all that I am. "I a million times forgive you", she laughed. "I wouldn't want anyone to take away my man." "Me neither."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For all that I am
