Wind Blown Destinies-Chapter Ten
By: Deathwing, one depressed author
Heero felt the refreshing breeze tousle his hair as he rode toward his kingdom upon his faithful steed, a white stallion by the name of Wing. Sumpaaria did not compare to Romafeller in size of course but at least he could be safe of boring meetings.
Sometimes, the young heir to the throne wondered why he didn't ditch the royal life like his cousins and live life freely. They seemed to be having the time of their lives but then again, those two girls were fierce and independent. Heero shook his head as he realized that he could probably never survive a day without the luxuries of royal life. The thought disgusted him. He disgusted him. How utterly disgusting.
As the small band of travelers neared the kingdom borders, a happy thought bounced its way into Heero's head. A thought that included a bouncy braided ball of energy. He hoped Relena hadn't made his stay uncomfortable. She was very good at making things feel quite uneasy although she herself didn't know. The minute they crossed into the kingdom borders, a royal fanfare struck up, letting all the people know that their prince had indeed returned.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeero!" Relena shrieked, "You're BACK!!!! The wedding's tomorrow, did you know that? Finally, I get to sleep with you and make your life wonderful!"
Heero's eyes widened in disgust. "Relena, get off my arm. I'm tired and I want to go to bed. Go away!"
Relena reluctantly detached herself and prepared to leave, but not before planting a large sloppy kiss on Heero's lips. "See you at dinner, dear!"
Heero scoffed and wiped his mouth on his sleeve. THAT was nasty. How dare she throw herself upon him like that? With a final disgusted sigh, he retreated towards his bedchambers, planning to check on Duo too. It surprised him that his violet eyed loved had not come out to greet him.

From the window, Duo saw the annoying princess greet Heero, much to his disappointment. The solemn youth looked weary and bedraggled but still as gorgeous as ever. He was about to set off toward Heero's chamber when the sight of Relena kissing HIS Heero caught his attention. The green monster of jealousy welled up inside him and for a moment he considered Relena's speech to be true. Heero did not love him. Heero loved her, that spoiled brat of a princess. The jealousy clouded his good sense and he stalked off toward Heero's chamber, planning to settle this once and for all.

Heero was surprised to find Duo's room empty and what shocked him the most was that it looked like it hadn't been slept in for quite a while. Stepping into his own room, he got another shock. There was Duo, dressed in street clothes, sitting on his bed, fiddling with the end of his braid.
"Duo?" Duo looked up. There was a strange calm anger in his eyes. "W-what happened to you? Why are you wearing that? Duo, I think you have some explaining to do." Heero demanded sternly but lovingly.
"Explaining?!" Duo erupted. "ME? I think you're the one who needs to do some explaining! I trusted you, Heero, no, I loved you, and like a fool, I thought you loved me back. I thought that I actually had some one again like I used to before YOU destroyed my kingdom and everyone who loved me!" Tears welled at the corners of his eyes. 'I'm sorry, Quatre, I can't do it.' "Good bye, you're majesty." Duo bowed and hurried to the window where he had entered.
"No! Duo, no, wait!" Heero ran forward and grabbed his arm.
"Let go of me!" Duo yelled, punching Heero hard below his right eye.
Heero looked at him with an expression filled with grief, hurt, pain, and humiliation. "Duo…"
The realization of what he had just done dawned on the braided youth and he jumped down from the windowsill. "Heero….I-I…"
His vision blurred. He felt queasy. Too many things had been going on, too many feelings…too much…pain.
Everything went black and he collapsed into Heero's arms.

Two boys in a forest glade…young…innocent…friendship. A big boar. Growling at what? A kid? Dark blue eyes, dark hair radiating beauty. "Can I call you mommy?"
"What do mommies do?"
….
"What's love?"….Memories….warmth…happiness….what?
"I'm Duo of Lethian. I guess I could be your mommy."
"Mmmm…"
Sleepy…want to…sleep…
"…they kiss booboos to make them feel better and…"
Kisses in the sunlight…feel better?
Too young…too lost…too innocent.
Love that was never meant to be. Too young to know who he was. Things are going to change…yes…change is good…love…is even better.
~*~
My name is Duo Maxwell, prince and heir to the throne of the kingdom of Lethian. My father, King Garoth and my mother, Queen Helen raised me with love. I suppose I loved my mother more than I did my father because he never spent that much time with me. My sister, Hilde was born two years after me. She was spirited and had an attractive personality. I met Heero when I was six years old, I think. We might have met even earlier but I don't recall it. At six years old, I was carefree and happy-go-lucky. I was innocent and that's what I wish I still had….my innocence. I fell in love with him on our third encounter and knew it was wrong. I had to rebuild my kingdom and Quatre's plan seemed good enough. But he betrayed me. He just wanted to humiliate me. I almost killed him once and I regret not doing a clean job of it. But now, I don't think I know what to do anymore. I still love him, yes, and I can't bring myself to hate him. He's so perfect. Oh God, I can't do this…who knew love could be so painful? I've had so many mixed emotions lately. I feel so lost. Mother, help me…please…tell me what to do.
