Song between ~ ~

As Heero Yuy stared at his laptop, he thought of the past. He had always had Duo and the other pilots back then. The war was still raging on, but somehow they had all grown apart. He brushed his fingertips against the screen of the laptop, then shut his eyes.

~ How the hell did we wind up like this

Why weren't we able

To see the signs that we missed

And try to turn the tables ~

The last mission Heero had been on, Duo had not been present. The braided American had been off on another mission, apart from him. Heero didn't understand why Duo's absence hurt him so much, and he probably never would. Every time he looked into those bright violet eyes, the darkness in his soul gave way to a dim light. He felt whole. He felt like he belonged.

~ I wish you'd unclench your fists

And unpack your suitcase

Lately there's been too much of this

Don't think its too late ~

Sighing, the pilot of Wing Zero checked his email for the tenth time that morning. He glanced down toward the clock before looking back to the centre of the screen. Zero messages. Heero tried not to show it, but he was upset that no one had emailed him in two weeks now. Then again, he was in the middle of a mission, undercover. Sending him an email could undoubtedly give him away and jeopardize the entire mission. Again, his thoughts travelled back to Duo, and he let out a soft sigh, guilt tugging at his heart.

~ Nothin's wrong

just as long as

you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow

gonna make it allright but not right now

I know you're wondering when

(You're the only one who knows that)

Someday, somehow

gonna make it allright but not right now

I know you're wondering when ~

How long am I going to feel like this, Heero thought. How long do I have to succumb to the throbbing in my veins, give into those purple eyes. Those purple eyes. They stole my heart, ripped it right out and caressed it, made it warm before putting it back. He changed me, made me into someone else.made me into someone better. But I don't feel any better. Duo, please just come. I want to see you again.

~ Well I hoped that since we're here anyway

We could end up saying

Things we've always needed to say

So we could end up stringing

Now the story's played out like this

Just like a paperback novel

Lets rewrite an ending that fits

Instead of a hollywood horror ~

There came a knock on the door, and Heero lifted his eyes, their cobalt colour glimmering with hope. He stood and pulled his gun out, then took off the safety and moved to the door. He carefully opened it, but only a little bit, and peered out. Duo's cheerful grin greeted him. He opened the door more and put away the gun after putting the safety back on, letting Duo inside.

"Hey, buddy," Duo said before draping his arms around Heero in a tight hug. Heero just stood there in silence as he was hugged, and he carefully hugged Duo back, letting his eyes fall closed. He stayed silent, and Duo placed his cheek on Heero's shoulder and let out a happy sigh, still grinning. "How have you been?"

Say something, Heero yelled at himself. "Hn." Duo blinked and stepped back from Heero, staring at his face, looking into his blank eyes. "Do you want to talk?" Heero watched Duo, then nodded and let his walls come crashing down, gripping the American boy and pulling him into a desperate embrace, hugging him so tight Duo could barely breath.

"Everything is all right now", Heero said softly. "Duo blinked. "What do you mean?" Heero allowed a smile to grace his lips, but still held Duo close. "You're here."
