(I can do serious stuff!--^_^)
[Heero watches silently as Quatre curls up into a little ball, shivering with fear in the cell.]I'm not like them
[Heero laughs maniacally, the sound making Duo shudder.]But I can pretend
[Pan out to a shot of a young Heero, standing in a metal cylinder that is slowly filling with water, watching as the cover is lowered over the tank. Fade to darkness.]The sun is gone
[Close up on Duo's face as he snores lightly, one arm thrown over his eyes, a pencil imprint on his cheek.]But I have a light
[Heero climbs out of his Gundam and his knees buckle.]The day is done
[Heero smirks as a Leo falls before his Gundam.]But I'm having fun
[Close up on hands, clenching and unclenching rhythmically. Then, finally, they reach out slam a metal panel, releasing a black handle with a red button in the center.]I think I'm dumb
[Duo watches in shock as Heero self-destructs.]Or maybe just happy
[Heero drags himself from his bed, his body bandaged and badly wounded. He looks up to see Trowa; close up on the green of his eye, fading into purple.]Think I'm just happy
My heart is broke
[Pan to Duo, running into the circus tent and shaking Trowa, demanding to know where Heero is.]But I have some glue
[Duo finds Heero and immediately clings to him. Heero puts his arms around Duo and returns the careful hug.]Help me inhale
[The shot freezes, fading away into clouds and the sun.]And mend it with you
[A blurry image of Relena signing a peace agreement. In a dirty bar, Duo smiles and toasts her.]We'll float around
[Heero walks in and hugs Duo carefully. It's been years since they've seen each other, but it feels like yesterday. He runs his hands through Duo's now short hair, and the American snorts.]And hang out on clouds
[They link arms and head for their new home.]Then we'll come down
[Once inside, they begin to kiss. Fade out to a shot of Heero, sitting cross-legged on the deck, feeling the sun rise, his eyes closed.]And have a hangover...Have a hangover
[Heero stands up, spreading his arms wide, eyes still closed, and turns circles in the shadow of the sun.]Skin the sun
[Duo wakes up to see Heero, walking into the house with a dazed expression. He runs downstairs and laughs at his lover, picking a few twigs from his hair.]Fall asleep
[Close up on two candles, stuck in a big white cake. Their second anniversary. Duo urges Heero to make a wish. He freezes, staring at the flames as they flicker in the cake.]Wish away
[Duo wakes up screaming from a nightmare, and Heero holds him, shushing him, staring up at the empty ceiling that has no answers.]The soul is cheap
[They visit L-2, where a church is being built over the ruins of the orphanage and Maxwell church. Duo holds Heero's hand so tightly, as if he is afraid of falling down.]Lesson learned
[Duo is lost in the flames; thousands of candles burn in his view. He can see the church burning, the people trapped inside, all imagined. He was too late to save them.]Wish me luck
[Heero tugs gently on his hand, but Duo doesn't move.]Soothe the burn
[Heero pulls Duo in for a quick hug before picking the American up and carrying him away.]Wake me up
End
