That was the first afternoon they spent together and the last they spent alone. The happy years just flew by. It wasn't until Duo's long luscious brown hair turned a pale gray that they realized they would not live forever. One late afternoon Heero's heart finally ceased its beating, and his breathing finally came to an end.


//There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?//

Duo laid alone in the large double bed. The bed he had once shared with the only person he could ever love. Now that person was gone. His mind went back to all the times he and Heero shared. To the times most happiest in his life.


//There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
Oh when love must die//

Soon Duo felt his own heart giving out and his breath grow shallow. He was now to die. Would he join his beloved? Or would he have to suffer for all eternity without him?


//Touch my tears
With your lips
Touch my words
With your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our tunic//

Just before death over took him Duo felt a pair of ghostly soft lips touch his tear stained face. 'Oh Heero have you come to guide me back to your side.' His eyes closed, his breathing stopped his heartbeat no more. Now he too was gone.


//Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our tunic
Who has forever anyway?//

No one knew or still knows why Saint Peter allowed Duo to enter through the pearly gates. As they pulled each other into an embrace they knew that this time they would have many eternities together and never have to be afraid to be apart. That night in the sky new stars appeared, only no one could see their grand design, of true love in this life and the here after.
