Chapter One
Duo hummed to himself as he skipped out of the house. As soon as he was out, he lost the happy exterior. There was no use trying to act happy when you're not being watched by one of the other four ex-pilots... Little did he know that Wufei *was* watching him.Colony L6 was a tiny colony used only for the purposes of some special mission the ex-gundam pilots were supposed to be on. However, Duo never really paid attention. That was Heero's job.
There were only about fifty people living on the colony. Duo hadn't bothered to make friends with any of them. That was Quatre's job...
A child ran past Duo, nearly knocking him over. Duo growled a Heero-like growl but didn't say anything. He looked around nervously before sitting down on a small bench in the corner of a park. Slowly, he took a letter out of his pocket. He sat there, gazing at the unopened envelope, afraid of what he would find. Slowly, he opened it.
Dear Duo,
Your last letter scared me quite a bit. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I could never love you in that way. In your letter, you sounded so serious... so unlike yourself that, well, I guess I was afraid of sending this to you. That was why I took such a long time to send it. I'm terribly sorry Duo. I love you, but only as a friend.
Hilde
Tears welled up in Duo's blue eyes as he stared at the letter. He was very much aware of the answer he was going to get when he sent that letter to Hilde telling her how much he loved her... Why did I do it...? he thought, his hands shaking as he tried to control himself from crying.
It suddenly seemed as if the entire world was collapsing on top of him. He wanted to die... nobody really cared about him anyways. He annoyed Heero and Wufei to a point where they were ready to kill him at any second, Trowa was incapable of caring for anyone, and Quatre... well... Quatre liked everybody. It didn't mean anything.
Nothing mattered anymore.
