~Valentine Past, Present and Future~
[February 14, AC 185]
A couple and their 5 year old son walked down their
quiet street. Unbeknown to them, the leader of their
street's gang was killed. An uproar occurred as
members fought for the right to be leader. The fights
had reached the street the couple and child were
walking on. The mother urged her child to run for
safety. The child ran, but looked back just in time
to see his parents accidentally shot by gang members.
Running into an alley, the child hoped that none of
the gang members followed him.
"Lost kid?" a teen asked him from the shadows.
The child shrank back. The teen stepped out of the
shadows so that the child may see them. Blue eyes
smiled down at him as long golden hair fell gently
over the back.
"Are ya lost kid?" the teen asked again. "Gotta name
kid?"
"Dead." the child replied. "No name, not anymore."
"Damn gang wars. Even if they are amongst their own
gang, they shouldn't do that to innocent folk." the
teen sighed. "Name's Solo. I'll take ya in. The
streets can be tough a youngster like you."
The child blinked up at Solo.
"I promise I won't hurt ya. And neither will any of
the other members. I promise." Solo said.
The child followed Solo, learning from him what he
needed to know in order to survive the streets of L2.
After the death of Solo from the plague, the child
renamed himself to be Duo in his honor. Since the
plague killed off many of the older members of their
miniature street gang, Duo was the oldest. For a
while things worked out. But Duo knew he couldn't do
as good a job as Solo did. So he found an orphanage
where they could all be taken in.
Father Maxwell and Sister Helen ran the orphanage and
made sure that many of the children got good homes.
Due to his reluctance to stay at any of the foster
homes, Duo became Father Maxwell and Sister Helen's
child. When soldiers destroyed the church, Duo gave
himself Maxwell as his last name. The next few years
became a blur as he worked to survive on the streets,
later becoming a Gundam pilot and fighting in the war.
It was February 14, 197 AC that Duo saw him. Him with
his ice blue eyes and platinum blonde locks. Duo had
been wondering if the war was truly over and peace had
finally came. After the Mariemeia incident, he wasn't
so sure anymore. He had been invited by Relena to
attend some high society Valentine's Day gala.
Probably a plot to get close to Heero and confess her
feelings, but the pilots came, even if to protect the
wayward princess of peace.
He approached Duo then, at the gala. Duo guessed he
was forced to show his face. It's not a normal
occurence to want to destroy the Earth. Zechs
Merquise, Milliardo Peacecraft, Preventer Wind; so
many identities. He offered Duo a rose patterned hair
tie that night. And a promise. Duo took up his
promise and they are happily living together. Duo
still had that hair tie.
[February 14, 205 AC]
Duo looked at the mirror as he brushed his chestnut
hair. Duo never realized it before from telecasts,
but Zechs reminded him of Solo. He wondered if Solo
would have looked like Zechs if he had survived the
plague.
"Ready love?" a deep voice rumbled from behind Duo.
Duo smiled at Zechs through the mirror's reflection,
"Just remembering stuff. And wondering things."
"And what be?" Zechs asked, taking the brush and
brushing Duo's hair before braiding it.
"About the past. It just occurred to me that you
remind me of someone." Duo said.
"Oh? Who? And is it a good thing?" Zechs asked,
tying it off with the rose pattern hair tie from years
ago in a tradition they created.
"You reminded me of Solo. He was the one who took me
in when my parents died. He had blue eyes and long
blonde hair. I was just wondering if he would have
grown up to look a bit like you." Duo said. "He was
the one who I named myself after."
"I'm honored love, that I resemble him. I would have
loved to meet Solo and thank him for taking such good
care of you." Zechs said. "Now, are you ready?"
"For a candle-light, romantic dinner in front of a
roaring fire on the floor? Always." Duo said with a
grin.
"Just like last year." Zechs said, kissing Duo softly.
"Nani? No surprises?" Duo pouted.
"Perhaps." Zechs smirked. "I haven't told you yet
that we'll be having strawberries and whipped cream
with champagne after dinner. Followed by some
cuddling. Whatever happens after that is beyond my
scheduling."
"So no interrupting calls for Preventer Wind? No
calls from Relena Peacecraft or any other dignitaries
demanding to see Milliardo Peacecraft? No Heero Yuy
pounding at our door, demanding for a rematch of one
Zechs Merquise?" Duo asked innocently.
Zechs laughed, "I've made sure that our phone is free
by programming a little message for anyone who dares
call us on Valentine's Day. As for Heero pounding at
our door, I believe we've resolved our differences
years ago. No interruptions tonight. As long as
Shinigami isn't needed to kill anyone."
"Zechs! I haven't needed to kill ANYONE for years!"
Duo pouted. "This Shinigami has retired, from
killing, not mischief-making."
"On Valentine's Day?" Zechs asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It's his day off." Duo said. "Let's get tonight
started."
"As you wish, love." Zechs said, leading Duo
downstairs. "As you wish."
