"Ohayo Heero!"
Another day has begun.
But this day is special...
As of last year, on this day, Duo Maxwell moved into the house next door on this street and changed my life...
To this day, I still wasn't able to figure out exactly *how* he did but no matter. For once, I'm happy. I guess it is strange in a way since I lived all alone for most of my life. It was hard in the beginning for me to let go of my solitary life. But I am glad that Duo was able to allow me to do so and also accept him as my friend.
That is something that I'll never regret.
Now that I think of it, why was it only Duo who was able to do so? Surely his persistence alone couldn't have separated me from solitude? Perhaps it was his amiable nature, always having kind words to say, never running out. Or perhaps it was his gentle heart, giving a home to the strays that would wander into this street. Or perhaps his orchid-colored eyes, twinkling like the star-filled midnight sky whenever he smiles.
Ah... that smile.
Duo...
I smile as well...

On this night, Duo came over for dinner to celebrate the anniversary of his move one year ago. I couldn't have been more happy. He expresses his happiness as well, for knowing such a great friend.
Friend...
Maybe one day, we could become more than just friends...
"Why aren't you eating, Heero? This is good! Never had anything so good in my life," he says with a smile.
But for now... I'm happy.
