Bad things always happen to good people. I've never truly felt that phrase
until this very moment, while I'm looking at the tombstone of my beloved. Duo
Maxwell is dead. He was my everything. Still is my everything. The tears I
refused to fall are trickling down at their own will. I hear someone coming
up behind me. I know who it. He just lost his loved one -- loved one's --
too. I hear his voice, soft as the moonlight illuminating us.
"Hello Wufei, here to visit Duo?"
"Yes, Winner, I suppose you are here to visit Barton and Yuy?"
"Yeah, I stopped by to visit them and Duo." We stand there in silence in
front of the three newly dug graves. I can hear his breath and I know he's
crying. He takes a deep breath.
"Why didn't we die too?" I sigh softly, wishing I knew the answer.
"I wish I knew, but it's not fair, is it Quatre? We were all in that same
building, but we survived."
"We should have died too." His voice is slurred from fatigue and sorrow. but
he's right, we should have died too. It just wasn't fair."
~~~~~~~~~~
\\Terror. Running. We had to hurry//
"Wufei, hurry! This place is going to blow!"
\\He fell, I helped him and we ran, all three of us.//
"I know Duo! Quatre, you OK?"
\\Two blurs shot past. The Clown and The Perfect One//
"I'm fine, Trowa and Heero ran ahead to get the door."
\\Closer. Closer. Just a little farther.//
"We are almost there! There! Trowa! Heero!"
\\Beeping. Like a mutant alarm clock from hell.//
"Quatre! Duo! Wufei! Get down!"
\\Panic and flames. We flew in different direction. It was the end.//
"Oh no, it's too late!!
\\Blackness. Numb. No more.//
~~~~~~~~~~
What could we do know? I look over my shoulder. Quatre's shaking. sobbing.
"Come here Quatre." He comes over and we both sink to the ground, sobbing
together. we should respect the dead and leave their grave to mourn. But it's
too much.
"I can't live without them Wufei! I can't." I know how he feel's, but I also
know that we most go on. for them.
"We have to Quatre. They would have wanted it."
"But I don't want to be alone."
"You won't be. I'll stay with you. I don't want to be alone either."
"With me?"
"Yes, we need each other. We can help each other. We'll grow stronger. We'll
try harder and we'll never give up. Without each other, we have nothing." My
last words come out as whispers. I'm scared, but I know what to do. I kiss
him. Softly, nothing romantic. We need this and our buried lovers want this
for us. He feels it too and returns my kiss, softly. It's decided we will
live for each other until it's time to go.
