Chapter 15
Hi. Thanks to all my reviewers. Just like I promised the identity of the Daring-Knight will be revealed. Anyhow here's the next chapter. And I must say it was quite difficult. Please don't kill me if you don't like who the Daring Knight is. Anyhow here's the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing A.C. or the song that I've used in this chapter.
Hilde was about to walk to towards her room, when she caught a glimpse of brown hair disappearing in the woods. She was sure that it had been Duo. She needed to talk to him. She needed answers and he was going to give them to her. Taking a deep breath she ran into the woods. She just hoped that she wouldn't chicken out at the last second.
Sometimes I feel the fear of
uncertainty stinging clear
and I can't help but ask myself
how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
Tired and in need of some relaxation, Duo had decided that he wanted to be alone. He walked peacefully in the woods, until he came at a creak. He sat down on a log that was there. The others didn't know where he was. Yet he didn't care. There's been too much happening and right now he needed a time-out. Trying to sort out his thoughts, he didn't sense a person approach. He was deep in thought when someone approached him. It was until this person sat next to him that he noticed her presence. He was startled when Hilde sat down beside him and looked straight at the creak.
Duo was dumbstruck. How did she find him? And why wasn't she mad at him. Feeling fear and uncertainty taking over him he wanted to leave. That was his first intention. Yet his body refused. She hadn't yelled at him yet and that was a good sign. A part of him was hoping for the best. Some part of him wanted forgiveness. Yet the other part of him was screaming out at him to leave. Yet the latter was ignored. He was snapped up his head to look at the short-haired girl that had suddenly spoken to him.
"Duo, I want to talk." She said gazing at the creak in front of them. Talk? About what his mind screamed at him. Yet he knew very well about what. "About what?" he asked trying to sound relaxed. "You know very well." She said with a certain edge to her voice. He turned to look at her. He could have sworn, he had heard a little bit of anger in her voice. Yet her face wasn't showing any signs of that so-called emotion. "Why did you regret kissing me?" she asked abruptly. Duo felt as a bucket of cold water was thrown on him.
How was he supposed to answer that. 'Geeze, Duo you surprised her by being her Daring-Knight, you later kissed her and then you told her that you regretted kissing her.' Duo thought silently to himself. He mentally kicked himself. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see her biting on her lower lip. In the short time that he had met her, he had finally concluded that when Hilde bit her lower lip, she was anxious or nervous. In this case, he thought that she was both. She quietly sighed.
"Hilde…." Duo whispered, as he redirected his gaze towards the creak. The water sparkled lightly. Hilde smiled sadly when he didn't answer. "I guess, you should know that I don't regret being kissed by you." She said standing up. Duo eyes widened when he heard this. She didn't? But before he could say anything, she had already stood up. "See you Duo." She said turning around. Yet she was about to walk away, when she felt someone wrap their arms around her waist. A shiver went down her spine as Duo rested his head on her shoulder, nuzzling her neck. She felt as her heart sped up. She thanked the heavens that it was dark outside, otherwise her red face would be viewable to Duo.
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague
haunting mass appeal
lately I'm beginning to find that I
should be the one behind the wheel
"I didn't want to get hurt again." He whispered brokenly. Duo, had been hurt? She thought sadly. She felt as her heart went out to him. The normally cheerfull Duo, seemed now like a broken child. Hilde maneuvered herself in his arms, so she was facing him. "Again?" She said with the softest voice as she brushed away his brown locks, trying to comfort him. He looked away from him. However, before he had looked away, she had caught the shining drops of water that were in his big violet eyes. She could have clearly seen the hurt in them. She wanted so badly to take the pain away.
"Please, Duo tell me." She pleaded. He sighed. He finally released her and walked towards the log again. Yet she wasn't going to let him go away this time. Hilde followed suit and sat next to him. Duo seeing that she wasn't leaving, decided that he had to tell her. "About a year ago, I fell in love with a girl named Alicia." "I would have done anything for her." He said his eyes taking a far away look. "Yet she betrayed me." Hilde furrowed her brows as she listened quietly at him. "She betrayed me with Xander." He spat the name out. "She came to visit me, during the vacation." "I was so happy, being with her." "Yet I was a fool." "I found them having sex in the gym." He clenched his fists that were on his side. "The bastard." he growled. Hilde slowly laid her hand on his fist.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
with open arms and open eyes yeah
whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
Duo was surprised and turned to look at her as he continued speaking. "I swore since then that I wouldn't fall for anyone again." He said as he turned to look again at the creak. He took his hand away, even if deep inside he missed her soft touch. "I used the cheery and flirting façade to hide the hurt." "Yet I would never get close to anyone again." "I didn't want to be hurt again." "I didn't want to be betrayed." He said as he stood up and walked towards the creak. The last words were barely a whisper. Yet Hilde had heard all of them. He sat down and took of his shoes. He slowly inserted his feet in the cold water. Hilde soon joined him. She silently sat down next to him and mimicked his movements, by inserting her feet in the cold water as well. "I'm sorry." She whispered, leaning her head on his shoulder. Duo was shocked at the sincerity that she showed and even more when she sought out his warmth. "I won't hurt you Duo." She said as she turned her head around to look at him. The statement shocked him, making him turn to look at her as well.
So if I decide to waiver my
chance to be one of the hive
will I choose water over wine
and hold my own and drive, oh oh
It was a moonless night. Yet the sky was filled with stars. Her face was half covered by the darkness, while the rest was illuminated by the little light that the stars provided. Yet she was breathtaking. Her normally bright blue eyes looked like dark depths of black ink that looked keenly at him. She was being open to him. Her eyes were shining with sincerity and something else. He couldn't quite name it at the moment. She carefully raised her arms to touch both of his cheeks. He felt like moth to fire, he was drawn to her. "Please, let me love you." She whispered, bringing her face closer to his. She slowly inched towards him. Her face was only a few inches away from his. He could feel her breath on his face. It seemed that she was giving him time to pull away. Yet he didn't.
Finally understanding she touched his lips with hers. Her lips were soft and warm and they felt just as good as the last time, he had kissed her. Duo felt as his whole body went on flame. He could feel her honesty radiating from her kiss. He didn't need to be afraid anymore. He wrapped his arms around him and pulled her towards him. He felt his heart flutter as she kissed him. She wouldn't hurt him. She wouldn't betray him. She loved him. He nibbled at her lower lip asking for permission, which she more then willingly gave him. He explored her hidden secrets with his tong. She tasted sweet. And he knew from there that he would never tire of her. She moaned as he pressed her closer to him.
It's driven me before, it seems to be the way
that everyone else get around
lately I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself
my light is found
Finally reluctantly both of them pulled away. They had to breathe after all. Hilde slowly pulled away and looked at him with dazed eyes. Her face was flushed and her lips were slightly swollen. Yet Duo found her beautiful in every way possible. "I guess by your look that the kiss was wonderful." He joked, giving her a genuine smile, causing Hilde to playfully hit him on his arm. Yet she couldn't help, but smile. "You're so fool of yourself." She said resting her head on his shoulder. "Is that a crime?" She giggled lightly, her laughter like music to his ears. Duo wrapped his arms around her and pulled her towards him, offering his warmth to him. She sighed contently as she watched the stars above. She was truly happy.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
with open arms and open eyes yeah
whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
Would you choose water over wine
hold the wheel and drive
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
with open arms and open eyes yeah
whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
She never regretted her actions. And she didn't regret following Duo and putting herself out there for him. She didn't regret kissing him. No, she was glad. Whatever tomorrow, brought, she was going to be there for him. She swore as she looked at the sparkling skies above. "Duo, I love you." She said as she felt her eyes getting heavy. "I love you too." Duo whispered to her, even though when he looked down at her she was already asleep. He brushed away a few bangs out of her hair and planted a soft kiss on her forehead, trying not to wake the slumbering beauty. She was after all his greatest treasure.
Duo sighed contently as he watched the stars. He wasn't alone anymore. He was for once the one behind the wheel. He was controlling his destiny. He was finally truly content.
To be continued……
SO how was it? Like the little Duo and Hilde fluff. I decided to make Duo the Daring Knight, seeing that most of my reviewers wanted them to be a couple. So I really hoped that you guys like it. I'm sorry if the chapter was too short though. Anyhow if you have any questions, email me at Alejandra_2785@hotmail.com. And please if you can, review the story. Thanks.
