A short one shot that I just felt like writing.

Silent Tears for a Fallen Angel

Silent tears streamed down a face that belonged to a porcelain angel. The angel's eyes were a bright, expressive blue that seemed to enhance the angel's venerability. The eyes were pleading as the angel looked up from her kneeling position on the floor. Such expressive eyes…Vaguely he wondered what had happened to give the angel such a face. Such a helpless face, as if the angel's world had just come tumbling down around her. Her eyes, he had seen them before, only they had been more purple then blue. Like a violet. Her eyes had been violet. He wondered why he had never understood. Never understood how important she had been to him? How could he miss the fact that she was falling? His fallen angel. Only she wasn't falling anymore, instead she had crashed to earth without anyone there to catch her. Without him to catch her. She was gone and it was his entire fault; too caught up in his own life to care.

"Heero, it's time to go."

He closed his crystal blue eyes as the heavenly toned voice reached his ears. Usagi. His shoulders squared as she came closer. How did she expect him to leave his best friend like this? He didn't care if she was the only person in the world that understood him beside his angel. He didn't care if she was the one that had always been by his side, saying all the things that he wanted to hear. That's what made her so different from his angel, his honest angel.

His breathing slowed as he remembered a memory of him and his angel. They had been on the beach relaxing. He had been wearing some ridiculous hat that Usagi had begged him to wear. Against his best judgement he had put it on. Mina and Makato had giggled like the schoolgirls that they were when they saw him. Amy and Quatre had said politely that he looked nice while Duo had started rolling around on the ground laughing. Wufei and Trowa had just turned their heads, both suddenly finding a trail of ants very interesting. Rei on the other hand had rolled her eyes, said that he looked like an idiot, and that he was an idiot for letting Usagi convince him to put the stupid hat on. And that was before they became friends.

"Heero… The hospital is closing now, we really have to go." Usagi insisted.

"I'm staying."

The words were out of his mouth before she could finish getting her sentence out of her mouth. He turned to look at her, putting her under his intense stare. Silently challenging her to tell him no. To tell him that he couldn't stay with Rei because he was engaged to her. He watched as Usagi nervously chewed her bottom lip. Her soft cream colored hands fiddled around as her graceful legs shifted under her pale pink dress. How could she stand wearing such a bright color when her friend was practically on her deathbed?

He turned his head from her to stare at the figure in the hospital bed. His angel, his friend, that had always been able to handle everything on her own. He had never had to save her from anything, which is why it hurt to know that when she did need saving he wasn't there.

"Heero?"

It was her final attempt, he knew. If he rejected her this time she would probably turn her back on him forever.

"Go home Usagi. I'll call you if she gets any better."

He knew then that he had broken her heart. The whole situation should have been reversed. It should have been her saying that she would stay and that he should go home. What was wrong with him? How could he, the perfect solider, not realize that Rei had affected his life so much? To the point that he was willing to give everything up for the possibility that she will pull out of this. Give up everything just so that she could look at him with her violet eyes that silently told him that he was better, that he could do better. How could she even think to leave him? Didn't she know that he trained to become perfect just so that he could come home mission after mission to her?

"No, Heero. Don't say you'll call, because you won't."

He could her the pain in her voice as she walked away. Her soft retreating steps resonating throughout the hall as she left him.

He walked over to the room door and closed it, shutting the her out, shutting their past together out. All that mattered now was Rei, his fallen angel.

He sat down in the chair that he had pulled next to her bed. He was tired, mentally and physically tired. He laid his head down on the bed, his had grabbing her's, as he snuggled the top of his head into her side. Silent tears now streamed down his face instead of the kneeling angel on the bedside table. They cried together for their fallen angel.

Tell me what you think. Oh, I'll have the next chapter of the Bankotsu and Rei pairing story out tomorrow.
