Epilogue
Duo and Quatre together on the soft sands of the beach. It was a beautiful day. The rain was gone, the storm was no where to be seen. Children were running along with dragon kites, giggling and shrilling loudly. The world was at a balance of perfect harmony. No one would believe the massive descrution that took place in the deadly waters that looked so beautiful, and glorious in the sunlight now. Duo relaxed, flipping on a pair of sunglasses to soak up the rays of the afternoon sun. "Don't have days like this back on L2," Duo commented, folding his arms behind his head. Quatre stared out towards the ocean, swirling his finger around in the sand. "Heero must really care about you. You should have seen the way he reacted to everything, he was a maniac!" Quatre teased. Duo snorted, "Heero just probably didn't want me to blab anything to the OZ folks. He gets touchy about that stuff."
Duo's fingers were instinctively reaching to rub at his gold crucifix. Quatre swatted at his hand, "Why do you keep rubbing that thing?" Duo cracked a cocky grin, "I thought I was going to die. It was the first time I almost wished for it. It was the perfect moment to die. I didn't think about the devices until the power went off, all power switched to the devices suddenly and we found the Gundams and ourselves onshore. The funny thing is, it was like Odin and Shinigami piloted them to safety. The first thing Heero said to me when I stepped out of the Gundam was 'Here, take it'. We didn't say a word, just went to the doctor and got her to remove the chips. We threw them out to sea, where they should remain." Quatre blinked, "That's it? He didn't say or do anything else?" Duo smiled broadly, "Nope!" "No hugs? Kisses? Words of affection?" Quatre squeaked. "Nope!" Quatre narrowed his gaze, "Then why are you so happy? Have you even told each other how you feel?" "Nope! The truth is, we don't have to. I won't change, and neither will Heero. Heero and I are partners; we always have been and always will. We don't have to rush, and I don't worry about what happens anymore. You see, Heero and I, have all eternity together.."
"Hn," A voice beside them made clear. Duo and Quatre turned to see Heero sitting on the sand beside them. Duo turned down his shades, "See? Isn't the beach fun Heero?" Heero scowled, rubbing at his arms, "Fun?" Duo pulled himself forward, sitting up on the sand, "Yeah, it's something you're supposed to do on your days off. F-U-N, fun." "We should return to our rooms to await further orders on the next mission." "Booooring!" Duo howled. "Baka!" "Did I get on Heero's bad side? Oh! I'm so sorry! I messed with Heero fucking Yuy!" Quatre laughed, "Will you two ever stop?" Duo shook his head, "Nu-uh." Heero stood up from their side, turning to leave down along the beach. Duo quickly stumbled to stand to his feet. "Oh! Duo! Before you chase after him I have to tell you.. Sakura told me to tell you hello. I'm sure she's sorry for what she did." Duo smirked, "I know, I talked to her all about it." "But how-" It was pointless. Duo was just as fast as Heero was, and in an instant Duo was tagging along with Heero.
"Hey Heero! Do you feel like going back to the room and playing a drinking game with me?" Duo asked, trying to keep up with Heero's pace. Heero raised a brow, "The one we played last time?" Duo lifted his arm, throwing it over Heero's shoulder, "Yup! Just you and me on our ngiht out, we're going to have lots of fun." "Hn." Duo pulled himself over closer to Heero. It still felt strange. Were they a couple now? Whatever it was, it was exciting, new and they'd both venture this experience together. Heero, I wonder if I'll ever be able to say that I love you so much, I wonder if you'll ever say or feel the same for me. But right now, it doesn't matter to me. I enjoy being with you. I can finally walk with you and hold your hand, and you know what? It feels damn good!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters. (Except for a few originals like Sakura) This is strictly fan fiction on the televised series Gundam Wing. It is for non-profit and I am in no way affiliated with it. (duh!) Purely entertainment based here.
OMG! It's finished! The Fic is DONE! Whoo! Mision COMPLETE Baby!
MY AFTER THOUGHTS: The Epilogue was never supposed to be made. It was going to end with Duo and Heero beneath the sea, but with all this angst I'm a sucker for a happy ending. Um, thoughts on the story? A comment made in Gundam Wing that was said between Heero and Duo was "I've been lost since the day I was born". Heero and Duo aren't clear on their past, who their parents were and all they've known is death and suffering. I thought I'd bring out that what they were searching for they already had.
Um, I really didn't want them to confess their love to one another. I don't like dramatic changes in a character. I love my cold Hee-chan and cocky Duo-kunn. Why change them to suddenly scream out, "I love you! Let's live togeher!" No! If I wanted that, this fanfic would be a novel. LOL I like for things to develope over time.And Heero and Duo have all eternity to work on that in this fic. ;)
