Star-Crossed Lovers - Part 14
//Dammit! What am I going to do? How can Heero and I be together if I'm dead? Or on the run. I hope Father Maxwell gets back soon with the Prince's verdict,// Duo thought as he waited for Father Maxwell to get back from town.
~ Knock! Knock! ~
"Duo it is I. Let me in." Duo rushed to the door and let Father Maxwell in.
"Father, what is the Prince's verdict? How bad is it?" Duo asked worriedly.
Father Maxwell sighed. "I'm so sorry, Duo, but he has banished you."
"No! What about Heero? What are we going to do? Father, I can't live without him. The Prince has banished me to a slow death, wasting away from the man I love."
"Duo, we will think of something. Don't give up all hope just yet. If anything, that young man of yours is very resourceful. I'm sure he'll think of something." the Father reassured Duo.
"Oh my God! Poor Heero. I've killed his cousin." Duo eyes welled up with tears. "He'll never forgive me."
"It's all right, Duo. Heero truly loves you. He's probably already forgiven y-"
~ Knock! Knock! Knock! ~
"Duo, hide! I'll see who it is." Duo scurried out of the room. "Hello, may I help you?" Father Maxwell said as he peered out the door.
J said impatiently from the doorway, "Father Maxwell, I have word from Heero Yuy. He wants to set up an appointment for confession . . . "
"Come in, J. Hurry." Duo rushed into the room as the door closed, pouncing on J.
"What does my lord say? How is he? Does he love me still?"
J glared at Duo. "Don't be stupid, Maxwell. Of course he still loves you. He has already come up with a way to resolve this situation."
"Well, what is it?" Duo said excitedly.
"He feels the best way to resolve this would be to consummate your marriage. Then, you should flee Sanc, and allow him to represent you both before the Prince. As your spouse, he is both a Yuy and a Maxwell. And so, he feels that this would the best way to convince the Prince that this is the end of the feud. It would also give the Prince an excuse to send Relena away. She'll be completely heartbroken when she finds out Heero is wed. Apparently, she drives everyone batty."
Duo sighed. "The man I love is absolutely brilliant. Did he say when and where he wanted me to show?"
"He wants you to meet him in the garden, ASAP. Then, it will be easier for you to both sneak into his bedroom. Please, hurry. He says you two will need some time before you go. Now go, Duo. Stop the fighting with your love."
"Thank you, J! Heero, my love, I'm coming!" Duo said as he ran out the door.
