All The Kisses
a/n: I do not own Gundam Wing
Chapter Nineteen – The Kiss of a New Beginning
I never thought I would cry at anyone's wedding, least of all mine. But here I am, with Duo in front of me, and the tears keep wanting to escape. Ever thought I had no emotion? You were dead wrong.
"Do you, Heero Yuy, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to love him, to honor him, to cherish him? Do you promise to stay by his side in sickness and in health, through war and through peace?" the official waits for me
to answer.
"I do so promise," I say as levelly as possible.
"Do you, Duo Maxwell, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to love him, to honor him, to cherish him? Do you promise to stay by his side in sickness and in health, through war and through peace?" the official waits for Duo to answer.
"I do so promise," Duo says clearly, his violet eyes never leaving mine.
We exchange rings made of platinum and those rare black diamonds. The official says something else and then, before I know it, it is over and he is telling me to kiss Duo. Now there is a great suggestion. I gather Duo in my arms and then I kiss his lips sweetly, not wanting to offend any of our guests. Everyone is clapping and it is all a blur until we get to the small anteroom we emerged from in the first place.
Duo is smiling. He looks so good in a tux, with a black ribbon winding through his braid. I tell him so.
"You do not look so bad yourself Mr. Maxwell-Yuy," Duo teases and kisses me again. Will I ever tire of this, these kisses? No, I don't think so. Kissing Duo Maxwell-Yuy was the best thing I ever did, and it continues to be the sweetest thing in my life.
