Also: This is major AU. It's romantic fluff, meant to be read strictly for entertainment, and not meant to be loyal to the series. I realize that style isn't everyone's cup of tea; if it isn't yours, just move on to another fic.
--------------------------------------------
Okay. I'll say this as many times as necessary: Gundam Wing and its characters do not belong to me. There, I admit it. I'm just playing with them, please don't sue. I have nothing, don't take even that away from me.
This was inspired when I read the fic Fire Mated by Snow Tigra (check it out, it's on my fav. stories list, and is a great fic), because one of the boys is a writer. That's the only way the two are the same... But still! Oh. And the title of the series, though it seems random... Is just that. My friend wrote a message saying Smile Proud, and a big smiley face, on the top right corner of the page I was writing the first page of this story on. She didn't even know I was doing a story. But I like it, and so the title of this fic is Smile Proud. So there.
This is a definite AU. There aren't any real Gundams. No war. They're just here in modern times on Earth, in America. They don't speak Japanese, except Heero. So I'll try not to overuse and show off my meager otaku vocabulary.
One final warning: homo- and bi-sexuality run rampant in this series. Especially in latter parts. Not your slice of cake? Don't read. Don't flame me; I've warned you.
That's all I can think of, other than that I live for feedback, and I'll try to update as often as I finish parts. If you like this fic, check out my other GW stuff (I also write HP fics).
Now, on to the story. Enjoy!
Okay. BTW... Thanks to Shimegami for reviewing and being so nice. And she's great to talk to! That's why she's in the fourth part. Ask and ye shall receive... Heh heh... Hope I didn't write ya out of character, chica!
