Hey hey, its Kim. Yes I'm writing again!! I have more time because now that I'm back in school, I have an hour between my history classes. SO this is what I came up with
Warnings: Deathfic!!! Songfic!!!
Duo steps up to a microphone se on a dark stage. However, this Duo is very different from the one we all know and love. His clothes, while still black, are more subdued and conservative than he normally wore. His violet eyes, normally crackling with energy and laughter, are dead and infinitely sad. And, the biggest and most obvious change, his hair, once long and silky, is cut severely short. So short that it sticks out in small spikes.
He gazes sadly out into the darkness for a moment, as if looking for something... or someone. Then he takes a deep breath and begins to sing
"Living risky, never scared, wander
closer to the edge
Nothing valued think no fear, always
wondering why you're here"
[Duo is lying in bed, gazing down at the figure sleeping besides with a gentle smile. Tentatively, the braided boy reaches down to brush back a lock of his lover's obsidian hair, almost as if he is afraid that this vision would disappear if he touched it.Wufei stirs in his sleep, nuzzling his face against Duo's hand. The American's smile grows joyous as he takes in this sign that it is, after all, real.]
"All your purposes are gone, nothing's
right and nothing's wrong
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
feel no sorrow, feel no pain"
[It is shortly after the end of the first war. Duo sits at the window, silently watching the distant figure of his lover. Wufei's distance is not just physical, but emotional and mental as well.After the final battle, the Chinese boy had begun closing himself off from his lover, and even though they still sleep together and even have sex, it has no meaning, no purpose.
"Wufei, why are you leaving me?" Duo whispers to the distant figure brokenly.]
"Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let me
live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and I'll
live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice remem-
ber when this was my life"
[Deathsycthe Hell dances in and out of the battle, dealing death and destruction everywhere it went. Suddenly, the giant mecha freezes.Duo cries out as he saw the form of his former lover's gundam. He quickly dispatches the rest of his opponents and races to the side of the boy he loves more than anything.
"Duo.." Wufei's voice sounds over his comm system. "Duo, I'm sorry. Forgive me for making you pay the price for my sins."
Duo sobs. "Wu, there's nothing to forgive. Please, come back to me. I love you. Please, Wufei."
There is a long pause in which Duo holds his breath waiting for his former lover's answer. "Yes," comes the reply finally. "Gods yes. Duo, I'll never leave you again."
Just then, Wufei's gundam is blasted from behind by a lone, unnoticed mobile doll.
"WUFEI!!!!"]
"Looking forward, not behind
everybody's got to cross that line
Free me now to give me a place
keep me caged and free the beast
Falling faster, time goes by, fear is
not seen through these eyes
What there was will never me, now
I'm blind and cannot see"
[Duo sits by the hospital bed, clutching his love's limp hand. Wufei lays unmoving between the sheets, looking pale and drawn. Machines surround his body, monitoring his vitals and keeping him alive.Tears run down the braided American's face as he begs for the Chinese boy to wake up, for him not to die, anything just as long as he didn't leave him again.
Suddenly, Wufei lets out a muffled groan and his eyes flutter open. He can't speak because of the tube down his throat, but Duo sees in Wufei's eyes the plea to release him from the pain he is in.
The Chinese boy's eyes slip shut again as he drifts back into a coma.]
"Kiss me while I'm still alive"
[Duo looks at his lover and comes to a decision. He kisses Wufei's smooth cheek one last time and then pulls him off life support.]
"Kill me while I kiss the sky"
[Duo watches, silent tears rolling down his face, as Wufei struggles for a few last breathes of air.]
"let me die on my own terms'
[Duo lets out a wail of grief as Wufei dies.]
"Let me live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and
I'll live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice, remem-
ber when this was my life"
[Duo stands besides the freshly turned earth of Wufei's grave. In his hand, he holds a long coil of braided hair. His head now sports a crew cut."Goodbye, beloved. Ai shiteru."
Then he drops the braid onto the grave. As he walks away, a golden cross flashes in the sunlight, lying across a gravestone that reads:
"Wufei Chang: Gundam pilot, friend, and lover. Sleep well
until we meet again."]
"Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let
me live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and
I'll live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice
remember when this was my life"
Duo stands on the stage, tears running down his face as the final chords of the song fade away. Once again, he searches the darkness. When he does not find what he is looking for, he turns away and walks off, disappearing after only a few feet.
