Hey, gang! I'm back (and still not finished with HPCoF ). As a treat and an apology, I've decided to give my darlings a finished story, with a new chapter every couple of days! Hai, Hai, I know you don't believe me. This is a test of faith, loves. Enjoy!
P.S. I wrote this fic five years ago, so think about it as my old style writing.

Duo
Duo Maxwell, 19-year-old pilot of Gundam Deathscythe Hell, stood staring out at the artificial rain of L1. He wondered why L1 even bothered to rain. It would never be more than a large, electric machine playing at being God. Sometimes Duo felt like his Gundam was the same, created to "liberate" the people of Earth by "eliminating" any immediate threats. Duo's problem with that was that the immediate threat was usually on Earth, and many innocents were killed in Gundam battles.
Another machine Duo was used to seeing was Heero Yuy, everyone's Perfect Soldier. He never flinched, never cried, never puked after a kill. Sometimes Duo wondered if he could even feel. Even when Duo tried to force Heero to feel, the half-Japanese boy remained the same silent rock he'd been the day Duo tried to kill him. If it wasn't for the fact that Duo knew Heero was more than marginally intelligent, he'd have thought Heero simple. No matter how many sexual jokes he told, even the ones that made even Trowa blush, Heero didn't even blink. He just gave the customary "Hn," and turned to his laptop.
How Heero acted toward him really pissed Duo off at times. If anyone asked him, they'd come to the wrong conclusion, though. That Duo need more noise in his life. That he thought Heero was uptight. Both were true, but still far off the mark. Though Heero could be an insensitive jackass sometimes, Duo still loved everything about him.
Yes, loved. Duo loved Heero Yuy with all his heart. If anyone found out, they'd probably pat him on the back and say, "Nice one, Kid." But Duo really did love Heero. He loved everything about him.
Moving away from the window, Duo opened the closet door and took out his mini radio. Setting it on the dresser, he turned it on, and searched for his favorite station. He soon found it, and music filled the room.
(Oh, my darling, I love you,
And the kid who just stands tonight)
Duo laughed cynically. Ain't that the truth, He did love Heero. He loved the way he ignored whatever you said if you were annoying him. He loved how he put basic logic to each and every situation, even the way he yelled, "Omae o korosu!" when he was embarrassed. Duo didn't understand himself sometimes, but he even loved Heero's damned masks.
(Mystery – mashou wo utsusu
Purachina no tsuki akari
Kasukani hohoemu kuchibiru
Azayakani someta)
Mystery – the platinum radiance
Of the moon reveals devils
The faint smile playing on her lips
Glistens brightly
He loved every single mask, even the ones that hurt him, froze him where he stood. When Heero had a mask up, not even Duo's wide smile could penetrate, but it seemed like Duo was the only one that could see beyond them.
(mitsumeteite sorasanaide
anata no sono shisende
fuuin wa tokareru…)
Keep your eyes on me – don't take your eyes off me –
Your stare will relieve me,
Of the seal that binds me!
Heero had a mask for every occasion, for every possible occurrence. A cold mask came up when he spoke of the events of the Eve Wars, and an emotionless one when he was hurt. He had a mask for the other pilots, one for Relena, and even a special one just for Duo. God, how Duo wished Heero would stop using those damned mask to hide from the world.
(Shy na Venus kamen sutete
yasashikute zankokuna
sugao wo misetai no
anata dake ni ageru secret)
Shy Venus, cast aside your mask
Please be gentle in your cruelty…
I want to see your uncovered face,
I have a secret that's only for you
(A/N: In case you're wondering, Duo is hearing the Japanese version. The English is there for your benefit.)
The music was really getting on his nerves. Shy Venus? Cast aside your mask? It was a bit too close to the truth, if Heero was half as shy as Duo thought he was. And Heero certainly was a Venus, with that slightly tousled brown hair and those Prussian blue eyes that sometimes, though rarely, flashed with some unidentifiable emotion. Sometimes Duo just wanted to take the Perfect Soldier in his arms and kiss him.
(I want to kiss you, surrender to your heart,
nigebashou no nai yajuu
ai no meiro no naka de ikitaeru made)
I want to kiss you, surrender to your heart,
I am a beast that has nowhere to run,
Until the day that I pass away, trapped in the labyrinth of feelings
Goddamned song! In a fit of annoyance, Duo delivered a roundhouse kick to the radio, cutting off the last line.
(Oh, my darling, I love you…)

So, was it any good? I'd like to think so, but it'll help if you readers would REVIEW. cough Anyway, in a few days the next installment of From the Heart, this time Heero's POV.
