Attention! I Own Nothing But That Which Is Mine!

Beautiful - Songfic by Arista

~*~*~*~

It is mid morning, and Wufei has just stepped out of the shower. After pulling a white tank top over his head, he stares at himself in the mirror. For a moment, he is silent. He looks down at his comb, and as he picks it up, he begins to sing.

Wufei. Everyday is so wonderful, then suddenly, it's hard to breathe. Now and then I get insecure, from all the pain - I'm so ashamed

05 slightly smiles to himself in the mirror and continues his a Capella ode to insecurities.

Wufei: I am beautiful no matter what they say. Words can't bring me down. I am beautiful in every single way, yes words can't bring me down, Oh no - So don't you bring me down today . . .

Wufei combs his hair and pulls it back into its usual tight ponytail. As he looks back to himself in the mirror, he rubs his hand over one of his bare upper arms.

Wufei: To all your friends, you're delirious, so consumed, in all your doom. Trying hard to fill the emptiness, the pieces gone, left the puzzle undone, ain't that the way it is?

As he reaches for his towel to wipe down the mirror, I stares himself down and continues, unaware that Quatre has peeked in.

Wufei: But you are beautiful, no matter what they say. No words can't bring you down, no no . . . You are beautiful, in every single way. Yes words can't, bring you down - no no. So don't you bring me down today.

Quatre smiles from the doorway, waiting for Wufei to continue so that he can join in.

Wufei: No matter what we do

Quatre: No matter what we do

Wufei turns, his eyes wide in horror knowing that someone has heard him. But Quatre smiles, nodding, urging him to continue. Wufei shyly looks down as he continues.

Wufei: No matter what we say

Quatre: No matter what we say

Wufei: We're the song inside the tune

Quatre: Yeah

Wufei: Full of beautiful mistakes

Quatre: Oh yeah

Wufei: And everywhere we go

Quatre: And everywhere we go

Wufei: The sun will always shine

Quatre: The sun will always, always shine

Wufei: And tomorrow we might awake on the other side

Quatre enters the bathroom and shuts the door softly as Wufei voices the lyrics.

Wufei: 'Cause we are beautiful, no matter what they say. Yes words can't bring us down, no. And we are beautiful, in every single way. Yes words can't bring us down, oh no . . .

As Quatre smiled to sing the last lines to the song, a hard fist pounded the bathroom door.

"Are you almost done in there?? You're not the only one who needs to shower, you know!" Heero yelled from the other side. Quatre and Wufei started laughing, and as Quatre started to exit the bathroom, Wufei stopped him.

"NOBODY is to find out about this, got it?"

Quatre smiled and nodded, Wufei's secret safe within his mind.
