Star-Crossed Lovers - Part 8
"Good day, Father!" Duo called happily to one of his oldest confidants, Father Maxwell.
Father Maxwell smiled and looked up at Duo. "Good day, Duo. How have you been doing these past few days... Over Hilde yet?"
"Yes, I am. I've found the one person I want to spend the rest of my life with." Duo paused for effect.
Exasperated, Father Maxwell all but yelled at him. "Well, don't keep this poor old fool under suspense, boy. Tell me, who is it?"
"Heero Yuy."
"You can't be serious."
"I am completely. Remember it was you, Father, who taught me to never tell lies."
Father Maxwell snorted. "Duo, do you realize that this could spell disaster for the entire kingdom?"
"Yes, but, it could also unite it. Heero and I have decided that no matter the consequences we will stick together, legally bound or not."
Father Maxwell looked up at Duo searchingly. "Are you sure about this, Duo? You've been fickle in love to date."
"I've never been as sure as I am now. Heero is the other half of my soul. It's like part of me has been missing until he entered my life."
"Only if you are sure that this is what you want, will I even consider wedding you two, even if you are determined to see this through to the end."
"I will see it through till the end. Make no mistake about that. Heero and I will be happy, and we are bound whether we are ever officially married or not. It will just help our case if we are married. Then, nothing will separate us, except death. I am sure the Prince would also see this as a way to stop the fighting, and keep Relena from having an heir."
"Yes, it most certainly would. If her beloved Heero ever married someone else, she would probably enter a nunnery just to play martyr. Alright, Duo, if this is what you want, I will marry you both in secret tonight. Tell him to come to confession, and you will be bound to each other, legally and spiritually."
"Thank you, Father! Until tonight then. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye, Duo, and you're welcome."
