AN: Well, back by popular demand. :D My lovely reviewer, Hink, asked for a happy ending, so this fiction is now a three part. This one and then one more. Enjoy. :D
Update: Just gone through and spruced things up a little.
Disclaimer: I do not own the song "I'd Lie" by Taylor Swift or Gundam Wing.
Reviewer responses:
Kjady: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. When I heard the song I just HAD to write this but it'll have a happy ending, promise. :d Just not yet. ;)
Key: see chapter one.
Heero called me today, said he just wanted to hang out all day.
Just him and me.
Of course I said yes.
/I don't think that passenger seat/
/Has ever looked this good to me/
We spent some time catching up on each others lives, mostly talking about his new wife. Apparently, she's not all he'd thought she/d be.
I want to shout out my joy but I just pat him on the back and smile.
"It'll get better, you'll see."
/He tells me about his night/
I wonder if he notices I'm staring again and I have to rip my eyes away.
I almost miss his question.
"So, how've you been doing, Duo?"
/And I count the colors in his eyes/
I smile and say I'd been fine, nothing really big happened since we last talked.
"No new boyfriend?" he asks me, smiling coyly.
I laughed.
"No way, Heero, not looking either."
/He'll never fall in love he swears/
He looked at me with this odd expression on his face and for the first time I don't know what he's thinking.
"Are you in love with someone?"
I snap my head around and stare at him for a second, then blush madly.
"Am I that transparent?"
He laughed. "Only to me."
/As he runs his fingers through his hair/
/I'm laughing cause I hope he's wrong/
I smile, of course, but he doesn't know who. He bugs me about it for a while but I keep refusing to tell and ends up pouting at me.
So cute.
/I don't think it ever crossed his mind/
"Is it me?" he asks me, fluttering his eyelashes at me with a little smile.
I stop breathing for a second, completely in shock. I can't lie to him so I just laugh and push him.
"You're married, dork."
/He tells a joke, I fake a smile/
He smirks at me and raises an eyebrow. "I know that, Duo."
My heart hurt a little at the reminder and for the millionth time I wished I was her.
/That I know all his favorite songs/
/And…/
It felt like we drove forever, listening to the radio. We ended up parking in some food place, I wasn't sure where I was. I'd been too busy watching him.
He was surprised I remembered his favorite songs.
How could I forget?
/I could tell you his favorite color's green/
/He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth/
/His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes/
I'm always here, watching and waiting. I know him better than he knows himself.
And he has no clue.
And I don't know if he ever will…
/And if you ask me if I love him/
/I'd lie/
We ate a nice lunch, discussing his marital problems. Seems Relena is having second thoughts and so is he.
That made me so happy but I just sigh, pat his back, and give him some more advice.
/He looks around the room/
/Innocently overlooks the truth/
I don't know how he doesn't see it. All the other guys know, they say it's so obvious that a blind man could tell.
He's just oblivious to me…
/Shouldn't a light go on?/
/Doesn't he know I've had him memorized for so long?/
I know it's not the gender, he told me he was bi which is why he's fine with me being gay.
"-Duo?'
Crap, I spaced out on him. I bat my eyelashes flirtatiously.
"Hee-ro?"
He blushes and I swear my heart skips a beat.
/He sees everything black and white/
/Never lets anybody see him cry/
God he drives me crazy…
We hop back in his car, heading off, ready to call it a night.
I hadn't noticed the hours fly by or night falling…
But I never do when I'm with him.
/I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine/
/I could tell you his favorite color's green/
/He loves to argue, born on the seventeenth/
/His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes/
We chatted until we pulled up to my house. He got out and walked me to my door, it almost felt like a real date instead of two friends handing out together.
/And if you ask me if I love him/
/I'd lie/
Of course all he did was smile and then walk back to his car…
/He stands there then walks away/
/My god if I could only say/
/I'm holding every breath for you…/
I sigh and yell a good night, waving and smiling at him. He turns and smiles at me, returning the favor.
I wish he could see how much I love him… but he's got Relena and I don't wanna' break them up.
/He'd never tell you but he can play guitar/
He reads me like a book, but he never sees that the person I'm waiting on is him.
/I think he can see through everything/
/But my heart/
I shrug it off and go to bed. Tomorrow is another day and he said he'd drop by again so we could catch up some more.
So tonight, I think I'll pray…
/First thought when I wake up is/
/My god he's beautiful/
/So I put on my make-up/
/And pray for a miracle/
Maybe he'll finally see me.
But I know he won't.
/Yes I could tell you his favorite color's green/
/He loves to argue oh and it kills me/
/His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes/
/And if you asked me if I love him/
Man, sometimes life can be so cruel…
/If you ask me if I love him/
/I'd lie/
AN: Okay, what do you think? Don't forget to R&R!
