ChibiScythe
Duo Maxwell stared at the gun in his hands. it was so small, so simple: you pull the little lever, and a piece of fire hot metal shoots out of it. he chuckled softly, turning the weapon over in his hands.
"I can't believe I'm even considering this..." he muttered, shaking his head. "I'm such a moron." his surprisingly steady hands deposited the gun on his nightstand, and he got to his feet gracefully.
"Duo?" He looked to his bedroom door and plastered his smile on.
"Yo! C'mon in, Q!" he called. the door swung open, and all four of his fellow pilots entered his room. "Oh..We. Havin a meeting or something?" he plopped onto his bed, getting ready to talk. nobody said anything. "Oookay... so, how bout them giants? anybody else watch the cartoon network this morning?"
"Stop that, or I'll disown you." Quatre's sad voice made him pause, and he quirked an eyebrow.
"What?" he questioned, doing a very good job at looking and sounding confused.
"You're a part of our family, Duo, so...Damnit! Don't hide from us." Trowa was glaring at him now, though it was tinged with worry. "If there's something wrong...let us know." Heero sat next to him on the bed, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"You try so hard to get us to open up, but you're hiding in your mind, behind a stone fortress... your defense is joking and laughing, and it works well for people who don't know you, but we do. we know it's not you, and it kills us every time you force a smile or hurt yourself to make us laugh. so stop." his blue eyes glinted, and Duo looked at his friends.
"You don't understand..." he trailed off, and Wufei enveloped him in a hug.
"We do. every man has scars and a past, Duo. Even us. Let us help you." a single tear escaped Duo's indigo eyes, and he pushed his asian comerades away, grabbing the gun from his nightstand without them seeing.
"You'll never understand." he lifted the shiny metal to his temple, frowning at the horrified looks on the four men's faces. "Nobody can understand." his tears were flowing freely as he looked at them. "please...forgive me..."
Quatre's scream of horror drowned out the sound of the gun, and masked the wet thump from Duo hitting the floor.
"Duo." Trowa breathed. Quatre collapsed to his knees, crying silently, his hands hovering over Duo's body. Heero sunk to the floor, silent tears rolling down his cheeks. his blue eyes were wide with shock, and his mouth open. Wufei simply stared at his fallen friend, an odd emotion lurking in the depths of his eyes.
"Coward." he whispered. three angry glares were directed at him.
"Bastard!" Quatre growled, standing.
"Unsensitive asshole!" trowa snarled, advancing on him.
"You fucking prick! how could you say that about him?" Heero screamed, grabbing Wufei by his collar and slamming him against the wall.
"He chose a coward's path! he took the easy way out!" Wufei screamed back, his eyes flashing.
"Stop!" a voice from the doorway cried. all four of them turned their heads at once to see Sally standing there, looking stricken. "What the hell is wrong with you?" she demanded, knocking Wufei from Heero's grasp. "Duo is dead! Do any of you understand that? he's barely pulled the trigger, and you all are already acting like animals! You're throwing away everything he worked for!" she stared at each of them for a long moment, her eyes shadowed before she crouched and lifted Duo's body up, straining slightly. "You sicken me." she walked out of the room silently, not turning back once.
a few minutes later, a car roared to life, and four men were left standing in their dead comerade's bloody room, trying to understand the magnitude of what they had just lost.
I really don't like this one... You would know ChibiScythe better as ImmortalPain.
