Heero
From is apartment on the east side of L1, Heero Yuy watched as the weather specialists made a fool of themselves. Thunder boomed and lightning lit up the sky. The price for this realistic storm? All the power of L1 colony. L1 might be more financially stable than any other colony, but it still held true that weather displays like this wasted colony power.
The lights behind him cut off and Heero turned around. Lightning flashed, revealing five pictures all lined up on the wall, the only decoration he allowed himself. First was his own grim face, staring emotionlessly from the cockpit of Wing Zero. Quatre had caught him off guard, and he hadn't had time to school his features into his usual smirk, as close to a smile as he'd get. Heero guessed Quatre was trying to show him how he looked to the world. Too bad Heero didn't give a damn.
Next to his picture was Trowa Barton, the quiet pilot pf Heavyarms. Trowa had a small, secretive smile on his face, as if whatever he knew would never be known to the world. Heero suspected it had a lot more to do with the loving smile Quatre was giving him before taking the picture. Heero swore they acted worst than love struck girls when they thought no one was around.
Quatre's own picture sat next to Trowa's on the wall. He was smiling, and his blue eyes twinkled. Sandrock's left leg was visible in the background, and if you looked real close, you could see Trowa's hand on Quatre's thigh. None of the sad, sadistic Arabian remained from the battles against Oz.
Alongside Quatre's photo was Wufei. This picture really surprised Heero. It seemed that the usually stoic 18-year-old really loved the spotlight. He had one hand on Shenlong's leg, and the other held his trademark katana. He stood on one foot, the other lifted as if he were experiencing perfect balance. The picture would have made people wonder how dangerous the boy really was if it weren't for the goofy grin on his face. A moment before the picture, duo had made a joke about Wufei's girlfriend, and their superior officer, Sally Po.
And last but not least, the picture of the pilot of Deathscythe, Duo Maxwell. Duo didn't even bother to pose for the picture, because he somehow knew the elements would be working against him, and ruin it anyway. So he stood still, and waited. Sure enough, Quatre screamed bloody murder in Duo's ear, and Wufei revengefully tickled him. The self-proclaimed God of death tripped right when the picture was snapped. The photograph depicted a falling Duo, long chestnut braid defying gravity, soft cobalt blue eyes alight with laughter, and his trademark I'm-So-Damned-Happy-I-Bet-You're-Sick-Of-Me Grin™ on his face.
Heero's eyes softened at the picture. Though he'd never admit it, he had a little soft spot for the brown-haired bundle of happiness. Duo just drew people to him. Even the Perfect Soldier. Duo's hold on him was so strong, Heero sometimes feared he'd lose control and do something stupid. And anyone knew that losing control was not something Heero Yuy did, or anyone wanted to see him do.
Heero turned away from the pictures and moved toward the radio near his bed. Over the years of always rooming with Duo, he'd picked up a few of the braided boy's habits. He now had a healthy liking for music, almost any kind. He switched on the radio, and tuned it to duo's favorite station. A song came on, though Heero could tell it was somewhere in the middle.
(Sadistic – jounetsu no muchi de
odorasete ageru
maru de haritsumeraretai
to ayatsuru youni)
Sadistic – I want to give you a passionate, shameless dare
I want to be completely controlled,
Like a puppet on a string
Figures it would be a song that mirrored his thoughts. And what strange thoughts they were. Thoughts of holding that braided baka close, and hearing him profess his love. Crazy, ne? Heero knew it, but he couldn't help himself. He wasn't entirely sure about how he felt, but the heart always knows what it wants, and Heero was no exception. He followed certain rules in everything. During a mission, with his friends, and especially with his heart.
(Tokimete koe de sakenu "I love you"
kono mune ni kizamikomu,
kienai akashi wo…)
When I hear your fluttering voice cry out "I love you"
My heart is filled with another of your wounds,
Don't ignore the proof!
What the hell kind of song is this? It seemed to follow his thought. Heero wondered if Duo could hear the same song, if he had his radio on. He wondered if Duo could hear what his heart was saying. What his mind wouldn't let him put into words.
(Zurui Venus kamen suttee
yasashikute zankokuna
sugao wo miseru no wa
daremo shirinai toki no carnival
It was wonderful to hear his native language again, nbut the song was really wearing Heero's patience thin. Did it deliberately try to annoy him? It seemed as if every thought that passed through his head became one verse or another in the song. The music rose again, and the next lines reminded him once again of Duo. His Duo…
(I want to hold you, surrender in my heart
ai ni oboreta yajuu
yume ni kokochi no mama ne ikitaeru made)
I want to hold you, surrender in my heart;
I am a beats that's fully drowned in love,
Until the day that I pass away, dreaming of this feeling!
Alright, the quaintness of the song had long ago faded. It was becoming just plain annoying. Heero knew that if Duo had heard this, felt this, he'd have broken the radio long ago. Heero, luckily, had much more control. He decided to let the song finish before he calmly turned the radio off.
(Oh my darling, I love you
And the kid who just stand tonight
Oh my darling, I love you
And the kid who just stand tonight)
As the song faded into the night, a picture of a grinning Duo floated into Heero's mind. He smiled softly, where no one could see, as he shut off the radio. He was in love…with Duo.
