Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Broken Hearts Parade ❯ Come Sail Away ( Chapter 1 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Disclaimer: I have no claim whatsoever over the Gundam Wing franchise. I only have enough creativity to own the computer and story plot. Therefore–do not sue me, you won’t get much.
Author’s Note: Well, here you have it, I’m trying my hand at yaoi. I cannot guarantee that it will be the best as I am still a bit awkward with writing it. However, I will try my best to please the masses. Please also allow a bit of time to explain my reasoning behind this fanfiction. I absolutely love Duo Maxwell. I also happen to love Duo paired with Mr. Stoneypants himself, Heero Yuy. Therefore, 1x2 suits my fancy. However, there’s this one little... skinny factor that I had to take into consideration, and her name is Relena Pizzacrust.. Er... I mean Relena Peacecraft.. Yeah >.>..... Anyways, I figured, that if the boys were going to be gay, Relena would make it as impossible for them to hook up as she possibly could, without looking too conspicuous.
So I decided that, with this fic, I could achieve that. Also, one more thing I will note, Duo is doing a lot of soul searching in this fic, meaning, he’s trying to look for what he’s best at, because he feels inferior to all of the others. So, With all of that out of the way, I bid you good reading. Please remember that I would appreciate it greatly if you were to comment me when you’ve finished, it is good soul food for myself as well as a tool to help me find out what I’m doing right or wrong with my writing. So, if you would be so kind as to R&R I would love you all forever. Happy Reading Minna-san!~ Tee To The Fa.
Warning: Yaoi, swearing, general warning recievable things ^-^

Now-A-days, things were alot less hectic than they had been during the war.
"You're doing WHAT!?"
Fighting wasn't essential because the peace was no longer just a luxury, but a set rule, or so they all thought. Rogue soldiers were irrelevant, but the ones that were left worked for the Preventers that had branched out over the universe. They kept the peace.
"Resigning, that would be what the letter is for..."
However, with the absence of war, some people had to come to terms and realizations about what they are worth, and what they aren't worth...
"B-But Duo... Why?”
Lady looked up at one of her more favored employees. Even if he goofed around far too much and did paper work far too less, she had grown a soft spot for the American. he kept everyone around him in high spirits, so why would he want to leave? Said man shrugged his shoulders and stuffed his hands in his pockets.
"I've realized there I'm really not needed as much as I initially thought I was. Never really was come to think of it."
"Duo! how could you say something like that? You're a brilliant pilot, and one of the best espionage experts I’ve seen in my years as a high ranking officer."she said incredulously.
"It’s only the truth Miss Une." Duo pulled a hand from his pocket and ran it through his bangs.
"I... just can't keep up with the guys. Quat and Trowa are happily together, and Quatre is
is running a big firm... Wufei is Sally's medical partner, so he's goin' places, and Heero is the professional bodyguard for pretty-in-pink.. I can't compete with that, and my skills aren't anywhere close to proficient enough for any of that." he said
"I mean, on the missions you give us, I’m left behind with the technical things... mechanical jobs.. You know I get bored with that shit."
Une gave him a pleading look.
"Duo, I can change that." he shook his head and she looked into the violet depths to see pain and sadness, and at that moment, she realized that there was more to this confession that what he was telling her.
“I appreciate all you're trying to do, but I want to try my hand at finding out who I am. For the past five years I’ve been living as what I was made to be, a pilot.. I want to know what I really am, not what I was programmed to do." he said and she sighed. There had to be another way. She knew she should stop pressing the issue, but she couldn't let him wallow in pity that wasn't righteously placed, Duo was too good for that. She saw that he wasn't really happy with the situation, but had deemed his way the only way to remedy it, the least she could do was humor him. She sighed in defeat and leaned back in her chair.
"Duo... I can't go against your will to keep you here, but I just don't see how this is solving anything. Really, isn't there another alternative? Some other way to find yourself than leaving behind everything you knew?"
"As I see it, there's nothing here for me really, just a few friends, but, they come and go in life, you've said so yourself." She winced, ok, she might have said something like that to him before, but she really didn't think that he had payed much attention to it.
"What do you plan on doing when you leave?" she asked, pulling out files to begin his papers. he shrugged and sat in the chair across from her.
"Movin' to the American Colony in the L2 Cluster. Maybe I’ll help clean up my old home or something." It was at that moment that her pen paused above his papers and she had a brilliant idea. She beamed up at him.
"Duo, I don't think you'll have to resign!! I have just the thing that is best suited for what you have in mind." she said and he raised an eyebrow.
"Alright, I’ll humor, what is it?" Une smiled and pulled out a folder and leafed through it.
“We've been recently thinking along the same lines as you. L2 really needs to be rebuilt and cleaned up, but there isn’t enough leadership there to actually be able to rig some sort of system up. We planted a base there about a year ago, on the American colony.” she handed him the file to look at. He leafed through it.
“They’re looking for a multitude of positions.. General training officers.” he mused. Une smiled and leaned forward.
“Duo, how would you like to be General Maxwell and have your own unit to lead?” he looked up at her.
“My own gang?”
“I can have one fo the higher ranks on the base organize a group of individuals for you to whip into shape and form to be your group. A group that follows your very orders. Not only that, I will personally promote you to General of the L2 Preventers. Zechs is up there right now, but he’s just doing basic mobile doll and field training.”
Une watched the expressions that crossed his face.
“I’d get my own team... a chance to begin again.. And hell, my ol buddy Zechsie-poozle happens to reside there too...” he rubbed his chin.
“Well is it an accepted offer?”
“I...” Duo thought hard, with his own feelings of insignificance running rampant through his mind, maybe the chance to prove to the others that he was worth something.... it was a very appealing offer. He gave Une a smile and pulled the pen from her fingers and pulling the papers before him to put his signature on the indicated lines.
“I think it’s a miracle in progress Miss Une, thanks for the opportunity.” he stood up and handed her the pen back. Une smiled widely at him, and appreciatively.
“Anything Duo, I’ll have your papers changed and transferred immediately.” he nodded and put his hand on the door knob, pausing briefly.
“Really, thank you Lady... it means a lot to know that maybe there is hope yet... and that someone is willing to stick to me like glue.”
“I plan on sticking to you like that really tacky Elmer’s glue they give to toddlers in kindergarten.. You just make sure to keep in contact right? Not just because I’m your boss, but because I’m a friend who wants to keep looking out for you.”
Duo managed to give her one of his real grins and he gave her a mock salute.
“See ya on the flip side Miss Leader Lady person.” he waved over his shoulder and walked from the room. Une watched after him with a smile and then looked down at the transfer papers.
“I hope whoever hurt you, Duo Maxwell, gets their just desserts...”
There, Chapter one has been finished. So far there isn’t much yaoi in it, but do not worry to those of you who were looking forward to it, there will be hints coming up and later in the story I do plan for there to be some hot boy action ^^.
