*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Those eyes. Those bright violet eyes, dulled by pain. Those eyes held understanding, but also doubt. And fear? Heero didn't want to know. He stared down at those wonderful eyes, wondering what to do.
"So you've come to kill me, Heero?" the boy behind the eyes asked. He already knew the answer.
"Hai. You've become a liability." Heero cringed at the emotionless voice emitting from his throat. He willed himself to show some emotion, but his efforts were in vain.
"It's okay," Duo answered, eyes full of trust. "I am destined to be killed by you." He stared up at his friend and comrade in battle, waiting for the final blow that would end his suffering.
Heero was struck back by the force with which these words were said. He stared into the perfect violet eyes, searching for the answer to the question he was unable to answer.
The gun was heavy in his hand. He glanced down at the black tool that could wipe out a life; that could erase the lively glow from those bright eyes he loved so much forever. Could he do it?
He heard the pounding of feet in the hallway upstairs. The sound jolted him out of his thoughts. He didn't have much time. He looked at Duo again, cool logic taking over, battling against the surge of emotion those bottomless pools of amethyst caused in him. He was a soldier. He had been given a mission. He knew what he had to do. The boy was a liability and he had to be silenced. He raised the gun and leveled it at Duo's chest, not at the head. He couldn't bear to mar those eyes. Black spots danced in front of his vision as he pulled back the hammer and gently squeezed the trigger.
He glanced up, his ears ringing. Had he actually fired? He looked over at Duo and dropped the gun. He stood there and stared at the body, doubled over in pain, blood dripping on the floor. Duo raised his head and looked at Heero, the color fading from his cheeks and the light ebbing from his violet orbs.
"Mission accomplished, right Heero?" breathed Duo before his head fell to his chest, blood collecting in a puddle on the floor.
"Duo?" Heero quietly called. No response. 'He's dead,' Heero thought as his own eyes betrayed him, calling tears to fall lightly onto his cheeks.
He couldn't take it anymore. He ran. He'd completed his mission and now he had to escape. Escape from the OZ base. Escape from Duo. Escape from those eyes that haunted his thought. Just escapeā¦
