The Cage

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, but hey! I'm gonna use it anyway! The second part of the 'Flowers In The Window' series. TISSUE-ALERT

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

You broke the bread, we drank the wine. Your lip was bleeding but it was fine.

Heero picked up Duo and cradled him in his arms sadly, wiping away the blood from the unconcious boy's lip and laying him on the bed. "Oh, Duo. Why do I always hurt you so?"

Come on outside babe, across the line, I love you more than I can say.

An embarrassed Heero sat next to Duo on the bed. Duo looked at him, before sighing, and standing up. Heero grabbed his hand, but Duo shook his head, and walked away.

But then my bird just flew away, he was never meant to stay, as to keep him caged, would just delay the spring.

Duo hugged his knees, as he and Heero talked. "Heero, this isn't meant to be." "Duo, please. Stay. Just try." "Okay...."

You broke your word, now that's a lie. We had a deal that you would try. Come on outside love, I think it's time. High time we drew the line.

Duo stared out of the window, as Heero walked out of the door, slamming it. Tears slipped from his eyes, running down his cheeks, as he broke into a wild torrent of sobs. Heero, in the next room, heard, and rushed in, kneeling and cradling Duo in his arms, letting him cry into his shoulder.

But then, this bird just flew away, while I looked the other way. Oh to keep him caged, would just delay the spring.

In Duo and Heero's dark room, Duo slips out of bed, placing a note beside the sleeping Heero, and walking away. As he closes the door, we see that Heero's eyes are open.

You broke my soul, dear, you stole the plot, you left an empty shot. There's nothing left here, 'cos you took the lot. An empty cage is all I've got.

The next morning, Heero is seen clutching the note and hugging his knees on the sofa. Quatre is there trying to comfort him.

But when your bird comes back to you, do you really want it to? I know I did, now we delay the spring.

Duo knocks on the door of the safehouse. Heero opens the door, to see Duo there. His eyes widen as Duo speaks, and lets him past into the room.


Woo, what's gonna happen? Has their relationship collapsed around their ears? Find out in the next little piece I write!

Explanations:

It's strange really, isn't it, how when something goes away it comes back if you really want it to? I've used Duo and Heero to symbolize many relationships between people. At the beginning, Duo's lip was bleeding because, believe it or not, Heero had hit him. I'm sorry, but I can see Heero doing that. It's nasty, but violence occurs in many relationships. It's something we have to accept. I decided to write a songfic series because I've never really seen it done before. They tell a story in songs, all from the wonderful Travis album, some adapted a little to fit with my story. I want comments and feedback please, so e-mail me at loomygf@hotmail.com.
