The song is 'Dona Dona', actually a Jewish song but sung in Japanese, it doesn't belong to me just like Gundam Wing. You'll find the translation of it at the end.

*******************

Duo ran back to school until he realized, that Heero wouldn't be there anymore. He didn't know where the younger boy lived, so he could confront him the earliest the next day in school. Still jumping with excitement he headed home himself. No sense in worrying Sister Helen unneccisarily because he didn't return in time.

Helen was busy with two of the younger kids, when Duo arrived at the orphanage. The motherly woman greeted her oldest charge with a warm smile and indicated that he should sit with her and tell her about his day. Duo dropped himself on a free chair and started with his story, sure that he would be able to convince the blue-eyed boy tomorrow.

***

The next day, Duo was hardly able to sit through his classes and got reprimanded by his teachers for his lack of attention eight times. When the bell rang for the end of the last class, he was the first out of the classroom and practically flew through the corridors of the school. He waited in front of the doors for Heero to come out, nervous beyond belief in spite of his positive feeling.

But...he waited and waited and no Heero came out.

By the time Duo began pacing back and forth, his seemingly favorite pasttime lately, the students had stopped flooding out of the school for nearly half an hour. After another five minutes he began to search for the elusive fifteen-year-old on the schoolgrounds.

His search soon proofed to be futile and he ended up under the group of trees, where they had met the other day. Now tired, since the adrenalin was spent, he slumped against one of the trees and stared into the sky. Duo started to doubt, that he would find his new singer and just as he wanted to head home, a soft voice, whispering above him, reached his ears.

Aru Hareta Hiru Sagari
Ichiba he Tsuzuku Michi
Nibasha ga Gotogoto
Koushi wo Nosete Iku

Touched by the soul wrenching sadness the voice transmitted, Duo totally forgot why he had searched for Heero.

Kawaii Koushi
Urarete Iku yo
Kanashisouna Hitomi
de Miteiru yo

With a start he realized from where exactly the voice came and looked into the tree. There among the thick, leafy branches sat the lithe boy, too caught up in his memories and feelings to notice Duo sitting beneath him.

Aoi Sora Soyogu Kaze
Tsubame ga Tobikau
Nibasha ga Ichiba he
Koushi wo Nosete Iku

He felt like an intruder. Here he sat with nothing better to do than listening to such a private moment, but still...he couldn't go away. The Asian boy looked so fragile and small as he breathed the words from full lips, thick lashes caressing his cheeks. Duo couldn't help but stare at the delicate beauty and drinking in every sound that fell from those ruby lips.

Moshimo Tsubasa ga
Atta naraba
Tanoshii Makiba he
Kaereru mono wo

Heero's voice rose with the last verse, surpassing the breathed whisper and melting Duo's heart for good. When the song stopped the braided teen stopped breathing as well and waited for what would happen eventually. Heero would find him and probably refuse to join the band after he realized, that Duo had listened the whole time, he knew it. He heard a muttered word from above that sounded like 'bakayarou[1]'? Baking dough? His thoughts were stopped short when a body dropped from the tree onto his abdomen. He blinked surprised into an just as surprised face. However the surprised expression on Heero's face was soon replaced by a frown. "What are you doing here?"

*******************

So that's it again, thank you so much for the reviews.^^ The story behind that song will have to wait for some time, but one thing is to be said. Heero wasn't aware of anyone listening before he landed on Duo, what makes it clear, that he didn't mean him with bakayarou. ^_~

[Dona Dona

On a wagon bound for market
There's a calf with a mournful eye.
High above him there's a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky.

How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night.

"Stop complaining," said the farmer
"Who told you a calf to be;
Why don't you have wings to fly away
Like the swallow so proud and free?"

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why.
But whoever treasures freedom,
Like the swallow must learn to fly]
