Like Infinity
by Helen
Heero Yuy is like infinity. When I first moved next door, I saw him getting the morning newspaper. He looked up and our eyes met. Incredible sapphire eyes...
"Ohayo!" I said with a smile and a wave. He seemed surprised for a split second before straightening. He turned and left without a word. And every day after that was the same.

I found him in a cafe one day, sitting in the lonely corner where the morning light didn't hit. He looked up and our eyes met again, I smiled and joined him.
"Ohayo."
Like someone had turned back time, he hastily finished his cup of coffee, straightened, and left without a word... Such a routine we lead.
~*~*~*~*~
Heero Yuy is like infinity. Always seen but can never be reached. Like the tip of the road where the parallel sides cross. Like the horizon where the sky seems to touch the Earth. Or the endless night sky, above the clouds, above the moon, above the stars...Can never be reached...But always there.

One day, surprisingly, he didn't leave after finishing his coffee. Instead, he ordered another and gestured to the chair across from him. I smiled and sat down. During our talk I must have said something amusing, for he released a puff of air when he stifled his chuckle and hid his half smile behind his cup. Sapphire eyes looked at me again and I couldn't help but to smile back.
Perhaps... Infinity is much closer than I thought...
