Notes: not mine. theirs. you sue, you get psycho penguins.
~See I finally realized
that you are my true love~
"Is'e here yet? Is'e here yet? Quatre! Stop rolling your eyes! This is very important, and you know it! If I screw this up, I'll never get him back!" Duo wailed into Quatre's now deaf ear.
Quatre glanced up at the braided boy, and marveled at the sudden change in him, from a month ago to now. Before, Duo had been exhausted all the time, spending each and every moment searching for Wufei. Now, the young American was flushed instead of pale, excitement lightning his eyes where sorrow used to be, and seemed to have his trade-mark endless energy back.
Then he smiled, thinking of how long Duo had been standing at the window, his nose and forhead pressed against it like a small child's.
"Don't worry, Duo. I'm sure he'll be here soon. After all, the Doctors said that they needed all of the pilots for this meeting."
~And I'm dying,
and you're all I seem to keep,
to keep thinking of,
yeah...~
Duo sighed. "Yeah, I know, its just...its been so long...and I was so afraid that I would lose him for good...I just..." He closed his eyes for a minute, remembering the pain of finding the note so long ago. It still seemed fresh in his heart, hurting with its original intensity that seared his mind.
He looked out the window again, hoping to see another incoming shuttle. The pilots had been ordered to meet at a military colony in space, one that was estimated to be unknown to OZ at the moment. The doctors had said that they needed all the pilots to be present.
"Wufei!"
Duo stared down the hall where he saw the slim profile of his old friend and lover. Unable to move, he merely watched as the pilot talked and laughed with Trowa, seeming to be catching up on things.
~Now I know I need ya
each and every day.~
And then, he could only watch as a tall lady in combat uniform came up behind his love, and put her hand on his shoulder. She was very pretty, with two ponytails in twirls over each shoulder. She was also obviously very comfortable in touching Wufei.
Swallowing, Duo closed his eyes, literally feeling his heart break inside his chest. 'I was too late...'
Opening his eyes, he saw Quatre at the end of the hall, laughing and gesturing to where Duo stood. He saw Wufei look down the hall towards him, saw his gaze lock with his. And then all time fell away.
~I can't live without ya
so don't run away.~
'O god, I love you so much...O Wufei...I've missed you...missed your smile...your smile that was only for me...O why didn't I realize sooner...' These were the things he wanted to say, but couldn't. He could only look down the hall, where the beautiful Chinese boy stood equally still. Transfixed, as in a dream.
~Baby, you said you loved me.
So why'd you leave me?
Why, why, why...~
Duo swallowed all concious thought, and started towards Wufei, intending to take him in his arms and never let go.
He was just about to get to speaking range, when suddenly, the women from before came up behind Wufei and gestured for him to come with her. He hesitated, looked back at Duo, then nodded. Off he went.
Duo stopped in his tracks, and looked at the place where Wufei had been. Then, realizing that he had just probably lost his love to another, yet again, he turned and started towards his room. Somehow he managed to keep his tears at bay until he felt Quatre grab his arm.
Looking at the blond boy, Duo burst into tears at his sorrowful expression. Quatre merely held him while he cried softly into his shirt.
'O Wufei.' Quatre thought. 'Why now? Why when Duo finally got his hopes, his dreams back? Why did you crush him again?'
~I can't think
think about this crazy day.
I can only
just daydream about you, Babe.
Yeah...~
