Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ A walk in the light of day ❯ And I leave to be if I be not by his side ( Chapter 4 )

Heero woke up; Wufei was out cold beside him. He slid out of bed silently. It was 4 p.m. the sun was in the distance, getting ready to set behind a blood red horizon and he needed to finish getting ready. He needed to get all his things together to leave; he grabbed his bags and tried to get his bags to the front door. He dropped his things by the door and turned seeing duo asleep on the couch. Heero turned to see Wufei in the doorway rubbing his eyes. Heero smiled “Wufei, I'm going to carry Duo to his room, can you open the door for me?” Wufei nodded.

Heero walked up to Duo and slid his arms under the lanky boy's body. Lifting slowly he started down the hall for Duo's room. Wufei opened the door for Heero and Wufei went in pulling the sheets back on Duo's bed and then Heero laid him down. Wufei covered him and then he and Heero exited.

Heero went back into the room he and Wufei shared, and picked up the mailer Wufei had tried to give him before. “I'm sorry I must go Wufei.” Heero gave him a quick kiss, and moved to the living room to grab the rest of his things. “Ai Shiteru, Zutto” He smiled.

“Zutto.” Wufei smiled with a nod. “Call me soon.”

“I'll do that.” Heero walked down to his car and put his bags in the back seat. “Take care if everyone.”

“I shall.” Wufei waved with a small smile on his face. Heero had gotten in his car and pulled out of the driveway. “May the gods protect you because I am afraid that I no longer can.”

 

The Mission was not as terribly hard as those in the past. He was on an infiltration mission. Oz had a few new factions and all hero needed to do was take notes. Be the spy. He was quite good at that. No need to dress up, or act a part. Just sit back plant microphones and listen to the whole mess of it all. Sounded like fun to him. He thought of Wufei. God, How long had they been together? Seemed like forever. He loved Wufei. They were quiet about their love, but everyone knew anyway. He thought of Quatre and Trowa, and how they would always show their affection for one another. Trowa was so strong, and Quatre was so innocent. Sometimes Wufei had that naive Quality too. He wished their worlds were perfect but they never would be.

What was happening to himself? At home he was warm and caring but in the field, he was cold and disturbing almost to a point that he was no longer himself but merely a shell with a different soul. What could be gained from continuing to be a Preventer? Only money, and at this juncture money was of little concern to him.

 

Back at the house Duo was rousing. Wufei had checked in on him to make sure he was feeling all right. Duo had waved him off. The invasive feeling of wanting to be alone was almost more then he could take. This feeling of hate was simply eating him alive, and as much as he tried, as much as he wished, he needed someone to love. As much as he wanted to admit right now that he needed no one, he needed someone, anyone. But he had a mission soon, and he left tomorrow. He could not wait, he thought for a moment and smirked.

“Shinigami leaves tonight.” He moved to the closet and pulled out his black jumpsuit and his black ball cap. He tossed his clothes on the bed and walked to the door closing it quietly.

 

Quatre smiled over the stove. Trowa loved it when he cooked, and the fact he was making a rice dish. Beef, tomatoes, pineapple, and other greens, this was Quatre's best dish. Trowa walked in the door with a smile. “Is that what I think it is?” Trowa walked in and put his hands on Quatre's hips.

“Yes.”

“Wonderful.” Trowa kissed Quatre's temple. “How much is there?”

“Enough for three.” Quatre smiled “No sense in leaving Dou out.”

“Leaving me out of what?” Duo walked in and placed his duffle bag on the counter.

“Duo?” Quatre turned “Are you going somewhere?”

“Mission.” He turned and sat at the table. “I'll be back in a few months I'd imagine.”

“Months?” Trowa turned back with a look of shock.

“Yeah this one is a big one for me.” Duo turned to the three large mailers sticking out of his bag. “I'll be back soon.” He smirked “Promise.”

“Well you are going to eat with us before you leave right?” It was more of a demand then a question from Quatre. Duo nodded.

“Of Course.”
