Disclaimer: Gundam Wing does not belong to me, but you already know that. You also know that I wrote this for my own fun and hopefully for your entertainment. I am not making any profit out of it. If I wanted money, I would get a real job.
Author's Note: This is just something I've been playing with in my head for a while. I don't know if it makes any sense or anything, I just wanted to put it on paper (so to speak). Anyway, just read, it won't take long. Who knows, maybe you'll like it. Or maybe you won't.
Either way tell me what you think.
Final Message
"Hey! This is Duo Maxwell. I'm not here right now, but you know what to do right?"
BEEEEEEP.
"... <Gasp> ... D-u-o... <Gasp>... Plea-ze... help... <cough> I can't... <gasp, cough> Can't... <strangled breath> ... Help..."
<CRASH!>
Silence.
BEEEEEEEEEEP!

THREE DAYS EARLIER- FRIDAY MORNING...
"You've reached the number L1-0010-8074301. The client is currently unavailable. Please leave a message."
BEEEEEEEP.
"Hey there, Heero. You should really record a private message on this thing. I'm going crazy talking to a computer every time you don't feel like answering the phone. By the way, are you there? <Pause> Thought so. Anyway, listen, I'm going out with Hilde for the weekend, thought you'd like to come. Give me a call today if you decide to come. It's gonna be fun, so don't miss this golden opportunity, it's free! Bye."
"Duo, wait!"
<Hang up sound>
BEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

"Hey! This is Duo Maxwell. I'm not here right now, but you know what to do, right?"
BEEEEEEP.
"Umm... Duo? Are you still there? <Pause> Duo? <Cough> I hoped I'd catch you before you left. Guess you left early, huh? <Cough> Listen, umm, call me when you get back. I've got some--- <cough, cough> something important to tell you. Bye."
* * *
"You've reached the number L1-0010-8074301. The client is currently unavailable. Please leave a message."
BEEEEEEEP.
"Still with that damn message, huh Heero? Listen, I checked my calls and well, you called, so I'm checking out what's going on with you. You sound kinda sick, are you okay? I'm asking him, Hilde! I'm asking! Calm down! Umm, Heero, do you need any help? Hilde is worr- Hilde and I are worried. Call my cell number as soon as you can, okay? Bye."
BEEEEEEEP.
"Hey there Heero. I know it's late, but I was getting worried. You're not answering my calls. I hope you bothered to check your messages and that I ain't talking to myself here. Listen, I'm gonna come back early if you won't answer me soon. So, umm, call me, okay? Bye."
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

BEEEEEEEP.
"Heero? You there? Please pick up if you are. <Long pause> Okay, man, now I'm really worried. I'm coming over, so don't do anything rash, okay? See ya soon."

"Hey! This is Duo Maxwell. I'm not here right now, but you know what to do, right?"
BEEEEEEP.
"Umm... Duo? Are you back home yet? You said that you'd be. Duo? <Cough, sigh> Well, I guess I'll have to say this over the phone then. I hoped I would be able to talk to you in person, but you left before I had the chance. <Pause> Yeah, I am sick, that's why I couldn't answer the phone earlier. I passed out I guess. <Cough, gasp> I'm dying Duo. I really wanted to tell you this before. I knew that it will happen, but I never really cared. My life never really mattered. Not until I met you, Duo. <Painful groan> See, J never wanted me to live after the war. I was a weapon and I was a mistake. So he, um, he programmed me. I dunno how else to say it. I can't stop it, though. I tried, I'm sorry. My body is shutting down I have no power to stop it. <Sigh, cough> I don't think I have much time. <Groan> I wanted to see you before I go, I wanted to tell you that-- <Cough> I wanted to thank you, Duo. For making my life worth while, even if it was just for a little while. It felt great being your friend, I'm just sorry that I never really showed it. <Moan, gasp, cough> It's kinda dumb to try and squeeze all that I want to tell you into this one message. Please don't be angry with me Duo. Please don't be mad that I never said it to you before. I just hope you won't be mad when I say it now. Aishiteru, Duo. <Pause> I just wish that, umm, <Gasp> motto soba ni itai, D- D..u..o..."
<CRASH!!>
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
