Disclaimers: I own nothing used in this fic. Gundam Wing is owned by
Sotsu Agency, Bandai, Sunrise and some other companies. I don't own the
lyrics of "This Way". That honor is held by Jewel Kilcher. I am
borrowing both of them for entertainment purposes only. I make nothing from
this fic, except, hopefully, happy readers. ^_^;
A/N: This is the sequel to 'Chained to You', which is the sequel to 'A
Cup of Coffee'. This is the third part to this little songfic series.
There will only be one more after this one. ^_^ I got bored while
writing Gundam Diaries and decided to listen to Jewel, and this is the
result. Um, its kind of a mix of scattered scenes that make sense, in the
end, I hope. ^^;

Duo stared at his raven-haired lover while he slept. He drank in every
motion and expression that crossed the other's face.
'It's hard to believe that 2 years ago, he asked me to just give him a
try. I never thought that I would ever be happy again,' he thought,
while snuggling closer to the warm body next to him. 'And, yet, here I
am.'
He closed his eyes in hopes of going back to sleep. However, just as his
mind was drifting off, a set of hands wound their way across his chest
and a set of lips kissed him sweetly on the lips.
"'Morning, Duo." Wufei whispered into his lover's ear.
"Mmm, 'morning, Fei," Duo managed.
Wufei nibbled on Duo's ear, which was peeking through his curtain of
long chestnut waves. "You look good enough to eat."
Duo snickered. "You always say that."
"And it's always true." Wufei sat up. "Gah! Look at the time."
Duo whimpered. "No, let's stay like this. It's Saturday, and we both
have the day off. I feel like being lazy today."
It was Wufei's turn to snicker. "Like that is any surprise." Looking
at his lover, he moved a stray lock from in front of Duo's eyes.
"Fine," he sighed. "But only for a little while."
"Okay." Duo squirmed in closer to his Chinese lover, pressing against
him until Wufei laid back down.
'I wish this feeling would last,' Duo thought as sleep over came both
men again.
+Love be still+
+Love be sweet+
+Don't you dare+
+Change a thing+
+I want to photograph you with my mind+
+To feel how I feel now all the time+
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Hmm, he feels so good. And smells even better.' Wufei thought. 'Like
fresh cut lavender, or… those cookies he made last week. Except, he
tastes better.' A smile stole over his face while he held his lover close.
"Fei?" Duo whispered softly, a tone of extreme pleasure coming through.
"Yes, Duo?"
"Can we just stay like this?"
Wufei looked over at Duo, his dark eyes staring into the bright amethyst-colored
eyes of Duo. "What do you mean?"
"Can we just stay like this forever?" Duo looked a little unsure.
Wufei leaned over the top of the violet-eyed jewel before him.
"Whatever you wish, I will grant it to you, with all my heart."
He kissed the man under him, relaxing as the other returned the kiss,
sweetly at first, until it grew deeper and more passionate.
*~~~~~~~*
After another long love making session, Wufei was in bed with Duo's
head against his chest. The silence was comforting, and soon, Wufei
started to drop off into sleep.
Suddenly, Duo's quiet whisper broke the calm and woke the Chinese man
up. "Do you really mean that we can stay like this forever?"
Wufei smiled, warmed at the remembrance of the other conversation that
had lead up to the last two hours of passion. "Yes, Duo, I mean it."
"Okay." Duo moved up and gave Wufei a sleepy kiss. "I trust you." He
placed his head back on Wufei's chest. "G'night, Fei." He soon was
snoring lightly.
Wufei wrapped his arms protectively around his sleeping love. 'That is
the first time he has ever said that to me' he thought, warmth
spreading from his heart and moving throughout the rest of his body. 'He trusts
me.' A small smile graced his lips. "Good night, Duo." He closed his
eyes, and soon had joined the other in slumber.
~Say that you'll stay~
~Forever this way~
~Forever and forever~
~That we'll never have to change~
~Don't move~
~Don't breathe~
~Don't change~
~Don't leave~
~And promise me~
~Say you'll stay~
~We'll stay~
~This way~
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Another morning came to find Duo awake before Wufei. 'He's so
beautiful.' Duo leaned over and kissed his love's brow, which was furrowed in
his sleep. 'I never want this time to end. I don't… I don't want to get
my hopes up too high again.'
His face fell, and he fought back the unpleasant thoughts of his past.
'No, Wufei is NOTHING like Heero. He… he… he or LOVES
me.' Duo smiled as he remembered all the times he spent with Wufei doing
silly things that most couples did.
'Like the time we went to dinner with Q and T, and my hair wasn't drying fast enough.
Wufei actually found a hair dryer for me to use. Heero would have just said, "Braid it,
and let's go, baka."' Duo scowled. 'How about the time that he took me on a moonlit
walk through the park. Heero never did that. NEVER.' He looked at Wufei, who was
still asleep. 'Thank god he doesn't drink coffee.'
'He would never do that to me. He promised, and I trust him.' He ended
his mental war, and with that turned over, curling up next to Wufei. 'This
is something real. It's safe and it makes me feel secure and loved.'
Smiling, Duo closed his eyes, letting sleep claim him once more.
+I get afraid+
+Don't think ahead+
+Let's just stay+
+This way in bed+
+Feels so good inside your arms+
+Home is everywhere that you are+
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Wufei discovered Duo in the kitchen dancing along to one of
his CDs. Smiling, he silently padded into the room and snuck behind the
American. Tugging lightly on Duo's braid, he wrapped his arms around
the other man.
"Whatever are you doing, Duo?" He whispered huskily.
Duo moaned at the contact. "Nothing. Just making dinner."
"So, what's to eat?" Wufei nibbled on Duo's ear.
"Hmm?" Duo moaned again. "Oh, um, steaks and salad."
"Sounds good." Wufei removed his arms from around the slender waist of
his lover. "I'll set the table."
Duo whined at the loss of contact, until he smelled the steak.
"Yeah, you do that so I can save this from becoming boot leather."
Laughing, Wufei took the dishes from the cabinets. He moved into the
adjoining dining room, listening to Duo sing to the song from the
stereo. 'This is just what I wanted. Someone to bring this side of me out.'
His hand slipped inside his pants pocket, wrapping around the small
velvet box. 'When is a good time?'
"Whatcha doing, Fei?"
Shocked, Wufei turned around to see Duo smiling mischievously at him.
He suppressed the yelp of surprise, and managed a smile. "Nothing but
setting the table."
"Then why do you have your hand in your pocket? Whatcha got?"
"No reason. And nothing." Wufei grabbed Duo, just as the other's hand
was going for his pocket.
A huge grin broke over Duo's face. "Ooooooh, Fei-chan has a secret.
Tell me!"
"Sore wa himitsu desu."(1) Wufei said cryptically, smiling himself. 'I finally
got to use that line from that show Duo keeps making me watch.'
Duo crossed his arms over his chest. "You and your secrets," he huffed.
"Fine, but you'll tell me sooner or later."
*~~~~~~~*
After dinner, Wufei cleared the table and escorted his braided lover into the
living room, seating them on the couch. Clearing his throat, he looked at Duo,
who was smiling contentedly with his eyes closed.
"Duo…" He started.
Duo opened his eyes, his smile fading a little. "Yes?"
"We have been together for two years now."
A look of worry crept over Duo's face and his smile disappeared
totally.
Wufei took a deep breath and moved over to Duo. "It's nothing bad," he quickly
reassured.
Duo looked relieved. "Okay, so what is it?"
"Are you happy?"
"Are you insane?" Duo said sarcastically.
"I'm serious." Wufei swallowed the lump in his throat. "Do I make you
happy?"
Duo kissed Wufei chastely. "You have to ask me that?" He breathed
against his lover's cheek.
Wufei sighed, relieved that Duo wasn't upset at all. He reached into
his pocket, pulling the small black velvet box out. He opened it,
revealing a slim silver band with a large onyx stone in the center.
"Duo, you make me happy and I want to continue to make you happy
for as long as you will allow me to." He smiled as he noticed tears
threatening to spill out of his love's beautiful amethyst orbs. "Will you
allow me that honor?"
"What…" Duo croaked. "What are you asking me, Wufei?"
"Would you doing me the honor of being my beloved?" Wufei felt a blush
creep over his face. "Will you marry me?" He whispered.
Duo flung himself at HIS Fei. "Of course!" He kissed Wufei earnestly.
"I love you so much."
Pulling back from Duo's embrace, Wufei looked at his love's face. The tears
that were earlier threatening to come forth had made good and were leaving
salty trails down Duo's lovely heart-shaped face. Leaning over, he kissed the
trails off of Duo's face, ending his ministrations with a sound kiss on Duo's lips.
"Thank you," he breathed, as he slipped the ring onto Duo's hand. "I
love you, too."
~Say that you'll stay~
~Forever this way~
~Forever and forever~
~That we'll never have to change~
~Don't move~

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Breathe, Duo. Breathe," Quatre begged, as he watched his best friend
hyperventilate.
"Can't." Duo said around the paper bag in his hand and up at his mouth.
"Too worried, Q-man."
Quatre adjusted Duo's vest under the jacket of his tux. He fixed his
friend with a reassuring look. "Why are you worried?"
Duo ripped the paper bag from his face. "What if he has changed his
mind? What if the minister says, 'does anyone object,' and he says he
can't go through it? What if he hasn't shown up? What if he is afraid that
Heero is gonna show up? What if…"
The blond just held up his hand, silencing the other. "He IS here. I
highly doubt Heero will show up, considering no one told him about this."
He looked at Duo with a small smile. "And besides, do you think that
Wufei has changed his mind in the last two days?"
"No," Duo said in a small voice.
"Then you are worrying about nothing," a new voice offered.
"Trowa! Why aren't you out there showing people to their seats like a
good best man?" Quatre turned to face his brunet lover, aquamarine eyes
blazing.
"Well, everyone is assembled and Wufei is very antsy. I was just
checking to see that everything it okay, so he doesn't have a coronary in the
meantime. Seems things are in order. The other groom even has wedding
day jitters," he snorted.
Duo threw the bag at his friend. "Thanks for all your help, Tro," Duo
said, the sarcasm dripping from his voice. " Now, go, before I find
something more useful to hit you with."
Trowa snickered and turned to leave, but Quatre grabbed one of his
arms. "Just tell them that we will be out there in a few minutes, and send
Duo's love to Wufei before he dies of a heart attack," he whispered.
"Was it like this at our wedding?" Trowa whispered back.
"I was 1000 times worse. Duo had to restrain me." Quatre giggled.
Trowa gave his husband a quick peck. "I'm glad he did." He left.
*~~~~~~~*
Soon, the sound of the bridal march wafted throughout the whole church.
Duo stood at the end of the pews, looking at the crowded room. Every seat
in the house was taken up. Duo flashed a huge grin to his boss, Une Schmitt,
and her friend, Lu Noin, as he walked by. He gave a very sweet smile to his
lover when he finally made it up to the front of the congregation.
Duo felt all the butterflies in his stomach calm down as soon as Wufei took his
hand and smiled. 'This feels so perfect.'
The minister started speaking and Duo turned around to listen. "Welcome to
everyone who has come. Before I begin, is there anyone here who would like
to say anything?"
No one spoke up.
"Good. Now, marriage is a sacred bond. One that must not be taken lightly by
anyone going into it…." Duo let the words wash over him, barely registering them,
as Wufei's thumb started to rub small circles on his hand.
"Duo," Quatre whispered a few minutes later.
"Um, yeah?" He whispered back.
"Pay attention."
Duo snapped to attention as he heard the minister ask Wufei if he
promised to love, honor, and cherish Duo for better or for worse, through
sickness and in health, for richer or for poor till Death do them part.
He snuck a glance at his gorgeous soon-to-be husband and noticed he was
staring directly at him.
"I do," Wufei said without a moments hesitation. Duo blushed furiously.
"And do you, Duo Maxwell, take Chang Wufei to be your lawfully wedded
husband, in front of God and these witnesses present, for better or for worse,
through sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, till Death do you part?"
The minister asked, smiling widely.
"I DO," he answered, adamantly. That got a few snickers and giggles
from the pews.
"Then, by the power vested in me, by God and the state of California, I now
pronounce you partners in life." He turned to Wufei. "You may now kiss the
groom."
Wufei pulled Duo to him, quickly and smoothly, capturing his lips in a kiss that
made Quatre cough. 'I never want this moment to end,' was the last coherent
thought he had, before surrendering to the kiss that sealed his heart to his new
husband forever.
+Don't move+
+Don't breathe+
+Don't change+
+Don't leave+
+Promise me+
+We'll always be+
+This kind, this sweet+
+This good to me+
+Promise me+
+We'll always be+
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Wufei looked at his new husband, a smile taking over his whole face. 'He is mine
finally. And I, his.' He watched as Duo turned in his sleep, his face wonderfully
peaceful for the first time since they had met. 'He looks so beautiful and angelic.'
He kissed the smooth forehead under chestnut bangs.
He wrapped his arms under the sleeping form next to him, pulling Duo's lithe, light
body close and breathing in the scent of his shampoo and soap. Wufei sighed happily.
"I promise that this will be forever. I love you, Duo" he whispered.
"Love you, too, Fei." Duo murmured sleepily. "I trust you."
"I trust you, too." He said, laying his head on the pillow, kissing
Duo's neck before sleep claimed him once again.

Fin.
(1) ~ Sore wa himitsu desu. - For anyone who has seen Slayers Next or Try in
Japanese, this line is familiar. For anyone who hasn't, it means, "It's a secret." I've
been trying for a long time to use this line in a fic, and I thought that this was a
perfect opportunity. Now, I have to go rid myself of the imagery of Wufei as
Xellos and Duo as Lina.
More notes: Um, yeah I know I never said what state that the G-boys lived in the
previous fics, but could you really see someone as vivacious as Duo living in a small
town? Or somewhere really cold in the winter? Also, this was so sappy, that when I
was done writing it, I brushed my teeth 5 times, and then scheduled an appointment
with my dentist. Don't expect me to write anything else like this for a while. There is
another songfic that will be the last of this series, but after that, no more. My muse is
starting to get antsy. Thanks for reading. ~ M.S.

anyone going into it…." Duo let the words wash over him, barely registering them,
as Wufei's thumb started to rub small circles on his hand.
"Duo," Quatre whispered a few minutes later.
"Um, yeah?" He whispered back.
"Pay attention."
Duo snapped to attention as he heard the minister ask Wufei if he
promised to love, honor, and cherish Duo for better or for worse, through
sickness and in health, for richer or for poor till Death do them part.
He snuck a glance at his gorgeous soon-to-be husband and noticed he was
staring directly at him.
"I do," Wufei said without a moments hesitation. Duo blushed furiously.
"And do you, Duo Maxwell, take Chang Wufei to be your lawfully wedded
husband, in front of God and these witnesses present, for better or for worse,
through sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, till Death do you part?"
The minister asked, smiling widely.
"I DO," he answered, adamantly. That got a few snickers and giggles
from the pews.
"Then, by the power vested in me, by God and the state of California, I now
pronounce you partners in life." He turned to Wufei. "You may now kiss the
groom."
Wufei pulled Duo to him, quickly and smoothly, capturing his lips in a kiss that
made Quatre cough. 'I never want this moment to end,' was the last coherent
thought he had, before surrendering to the kiss that sealed his heart to his new
husband forever.
+Don't move+
+Don't breathe+
+Don't change+
+Don't leave+
+Promise me+
+We'll always be+
+This kind, this sweet+
+This good to me+
+Promise me+
+We'll always be+
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Wufei looked at his new husband, a smile taking over his whole face. 'He is mine
finally. And I, his.' He watched as Duo turned in his sleep, his face wonderfully
peaceful for the first time since they had met. 'He looks so beautiful and angelic.'
He kissed the smooth forehead under chestnut bangs.
He wrapped his arms under the sleeping form next to him, pulling Duo's lithe, light
body close and breathing in the scent of his shampoo and soap. Wufei sighed happily.
"I promise that this will be forever. I love you, Duo" he whispered.
"Love you, too, Fei." Duo murmured sleepily. "I trust you."
"I trust you, too." He said, laying his head on the pillow, kissing
Duo's neck before sleep claimed him once again.

~Don't move~
~Don't breathe~
~Don't change~

~And promise me~
~Say you'll stay~

(1) ~ Sore wa himitsu desu. - For anyone who has seen Slayers Next or Try in
Japanese, this line is familiar. For anyone who hasn't, it means, "It's a secret." I've
been trying for a long time to use this line in a fic, and I thought that this was a
perfect opportunity. Now, I have to go rid myself of the imagery of Wufei as
Xellos and Duo as Lina.
More notes: Um, yeah I know I never said what state that the G-boys lived in the
previous fics, but could you really see someone as vivacious as Duo living in a small
town? Or somewhere really cold in the winter? Also, this was so sappy, that when I
was done writing it, I brushed my teeth 5 times, and then scheduled an appointment
with my dentist. Don't expect me to write anything else like this for a while. There is
another songfic that will be the last of this series, but after that, no more. My muse is
starting to get antsy. Thanks for reading. ~ M.S.
