Words Unsaid
A/N: I haven't written in a while and this short fluffy piece really came out
of nowhere. I hope you enjoy. Yes once again another 5XR from me!

associated with it.
She
doesn't say why it no longer bothers her when he leaves the room in the middle
of entertaining guests. You can poke and prod asking her why she accepts such
rude behavior, but she doesn't say.
She doesn't say how soft his
lips and how gentle his touch can be on a lazy summer day. You wonder at how
someone so angry and brute can be the romantic lover she desires, she could
tell you with a blush on her face but she'd rather not say.
She
doesn't say that all he's been through in his life and all that he was faced
with has left him cold to the unknown stranger. It might explain a lot but then
again it might explain nothing, at least to you, so it's best she not say.
She
doesn't say how he's almost a different person with her. She could go on and on
about all the ways he shows her his undying love, the special side of him that
shows her he has trust in what they share. Just the thought of uttering such a
thing brings feelings of betrayal. It's their secret and she isn't the type of
girl to break a secret, she wouldn't enjoy a guilty conscious. She'll whisper
these facts in her mind but out loud, she will not say.
She doesn't say how they spend
hours of each day spending time together, laughing, smiling, and giggling. And
yes he does giggle. She knows you think two such different people could have
nothing in common. She could prove you wrong but she's been defensive enough in
her life, this time she pleads not guilty without a say.
She doesn't say that she notices
the slight glint in his eyes when she walks into the room or the way he tries
to hide a smirk when he knows he's frustrated her beyond what a good cup of
coffee could solve. He doesn't even know such happenings reached her eyes, such
small things are best left unsaid, so you won't mind when she doesn't say.
She
doesn't say that he's come a long way with her, that you wouldn't even
recognize him if you could only see. But you can't see so her words hold no
meaning, meaningless words are a waste for her to say.
She doesn't say that she could
watch him for hours and never tire. Not interesting you say? Oh she knows
otherwise, he's kept her interest long enough to know that he's far more
readable than any old stuffy book. You can read words at anytime but it takes
timing and skill which she has mastered to read what's cloaked on him. Unless
you possess as she then you'll never understand why she couldn't find the right
words to say.
She doesn't say that she's seen
him at his weakest. For anyone who thought he couldn't break has never seen him
cry. Cry for him, for her, for all that is lost. If she could hold back the
tears that the night in question brings back then she could say. But she can't
and doesn't say.
She doesn't say how selfless he
is. She could recall dozens of moments where he has swallowed his pride and
bowed at her word just to see her smile. Of course he would never say that
either. She chucks it up to one of those "male ego" symptoms. And you
have to let men keep some things; it's really just not in her place to say.
She doesn't say why she isn't
bothered by his sarcastic and teasing manner. It might justify some of his
actions, if you knew that was just his little way of saying he also isn't
bothered by her annoying habits. She could remind you that it always makes her
smile because she knows he's not serious. It's just one of his ways of showing
affection; you'd know that if she were to say.
She doesn't say that she once
thought like all the others, that a man of his stubborn ways couldn't be
solved. She won't admit that she hasn't completely solved him, or that she
secretly likes the challenge. She's a little a stubborn herself; I doubt you'll
get her to say.
She doesn't say how sometimes
words aren't needed between them. She could define the connection they have in
words but that still wouldn't be enough. If she could tell you how there's
enough between them, that the silence isn't a worrisome thing then she'd tell
you with her eyes. Almost like she tells him. But she
can't speak with her eyes to you, he only holds that
privilege of being able to read what she doesn't say.
She doesn't say any of these
things regarding him because you wouldn't understand. No one would. You couldn't
find someone who understands him like her.
What she will say is that she
likes him best when he's not understandable. She secretly adores the key she
holds with a tight grasp that unlocks the emotional barrier seen to the outside
world. She smiles knowing you don't see what she sees. And saying so just might
ruin that gleeful feeling.
She might not say many things
about Wufei but as she's come to learn from her
partner, sometimes things are best left unsaid.
