Dream Come True [Fic 06a of 10]
It's almost been a week since Duo became ill. I still can't help but blame myself even though he told me countless of times to just forget it.
But that night and the morning after is something I don't want to forget. It was the first time I have seen him cry and the first time I...
I swallow hard. Even after a week, my hand still tingles and grows warm as I remember how I cupped his cheek to brush his tears away and when I woke up with his hand in mine...
The same hand that possessed itself to write down what I was thinking while doing the translations to the song. I reach over to my desk and flip open the diary.
//It's almost like... my own thoughts... my own feelings... put into the lyrics.//
How utterly embarrassing. I can't believe I wrote that.
//I hope one day I can do what he says...//
While it is true, I never meant to write it out. God... I was afraid that Duo would bring it up. I was afraid that he wouldn't...
Turns out that he did. Or came close to it. I flip the page like I had done days before.
//Heero. I wanna thank you for taking care of me when I was bedridden. I don't think I've ever had someone do that for me. Thank you for the translations as well. They were really... nice.//
Nice... He thought that they were nice. Oh well, what more can I hope for? I got his thanks and gratitude. It's enough.
I almost turn the page again when I stop. What is this? I look closer at Duo's entry. It looks like... something written but... erased. I straighten in my seat on the couch.
No... I'm not delusional. I can just barely see it.
Getting up, I grab a pencil from my desk. Holding it at an angle, I gently sweep it back and forth across the page, letting the lead highlight the letters, the words that never reached my eyes, until today.
After a few moments, I can finally read the forgotten message.
//I wish you could do what he says too...//
I nearly drop the diary in my limp hands but I tighten my hold. Does this mean what I think it means?! Oh my god...
I shake my head.
Let's not jump to conclusions here. I flip to his next entry after mine. Another erased part. Taking the pencil again, I repeat the process.
//There is something I //
"There is something I" what?! My heart beats harder as I flip forward in the diary again. Searching again. Taking the pencil again.
//I need to tell you something.//
*Dokun dokun dokun*
Flipping forward once more, I reach the final entry, the newest one that I haven't read yet, near the bottom of the page.
//Heero.
All week long I've thought about this. Again and again, I've tried to tell you face-to-face but I can't. I've tried calling to tell you but I can't. I've even tried writing it in here but I can't. But... I know that it must be done. You deserve to know.//
I can almost feel my heart explode from my chest. It is pounding so hard. I flip to the next page.
Three words.
The diary falls this time, from my limp hands as my heart abruptly stops.
tbc...
