Follow The Light
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, but hey, I'm gonna use 'em anyway! The first in my 1x2/2x1 Flowers In The Window songfic series. All the songs, adapted or not, are from the Travis album 'Invisible Band.'

Nobody knows where they're supposed to go. Hiding behind a wall. Afraid that they'll lose it all.
Heero frowns, looking at the map that the five Gundam pilots had been given. He scowls, losing his temper, throwing the map to the ground in disgust. Duo rushed from comforting an exhausted Quatre and a disgruntled Trowa, to him. He picked up the map, and looked at it, carefully scaling the route with a finger. He taps Heero on the shoulder and points to the correct direction, smiling at Heero's folorn expression. He continues on the path he had shown Heero, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei following. Heero smiled a lttle, looking at the retreating braid, and followed.
But it's alright, just follow the light, and don't be afraid of the dark. In the moonlight, you'll dance till you fall, and always be here in my heart.
The five pilots are in darkness, as the sun sets on the forest. Quatre clings to Trowa anxiously, and Wufei walks close to them, fright showing on his hardened face. Ahead of them was Heero and Duo, walking close, but too proud to recognise their fears. Their hands brushed together, and the pair looked at each other. Then Heero gripped Duo's hand firmly in his own, and continued to walk.
But nobody wants to know, cos nobody even cares. Everyone's out on the make, yeah, everyone's out for themselves.
The pilots are looking for a suitable campsite. It was pitch black now, noises and rustlings echoing through the forest, and Heero, face hardened, hadn't let go of Duo's hand, which gripped Heero's own as hard. Eventually they found a site, and Wufei managed to make a small fire. Suddenly, shots rang out through the forest, and Duo, in terror, clutched onto Heero, and buried his face in Heero's chest. When the shots finished coming, Duo looked up, backing away with babbled apologies and explanations. Heero grabbed his hand again as the fire went out, warning him not to stray away. Quatre was whimpering, tears falling down his cheeks, as he, Trowa and Wufei clung together, petrified. Duo hugged his knees, rocking back and forth, trying to stop the tears, knowing that there no-one he could cling to. Heero squeezed his eyes tight shut, and opened them again, seeing Duo bury his face in his hands. Heero pulled him roughly onto his lap, relaxing back against a tree-trunk, his arms wrapping tightly around Duo's slender body. Duo, after a surprised moment, relaxed his head against Heero's shoulder, and fell asleep.
Me, I'm on the longest road. Where everything's overload. But I've still got my heart and soul, so don't throw me overboard, 'cos it's alright, we're going to be fine, just fine. I'll take care of you if you will help me to.
The sun rose, and Duo woke up, finding himself in Heero's arms, and panicking. Heero awakened, to see shock and fright in Duo's eyes. He smiled slightly, loosening his arms, and explaining. Duo reached up and softly kissed Heero's cheek, thanking him. Heero pulled him back for a proper kiss. They are interrupted by Quatre's wolf-whistles and Wufei's cries telling them to 'Get a room.'
'Cos its alright, just follow the light, and don't be afraid of the dark. In the moonlight, you'll dance till you fall, and always be here in my heart. Cos it's alright, alright now. And you're alright. Yeah, we're alright now.
The exhausted five staggered out of the forest, to see the jet carrier waiting for them. They boarded the jet, sitting down. Duo collapsed into Heero's arms, sighing. Heero caught him, smiling, whispering comforting words in his ear.
"We're alright. We're alright now...."
Author's Notes:
This is the first in a series that I've been building up for a while. In this series I want to show that not all relationships hold, and can be precarious. So if you want more, continue to the next songfic, 'The Cage'. And I always want feedback, so e-mail me at loomygf@hotmail.com.
