Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Children of the Night ❯ Chapter 1

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Warnings: The Gboys and Children Of The Night aren't mine. ^Damn the laws of men!!^ Uummm...I didn't put any specifics about the second pilot in this story so
that YOU can choose who it is. In my mind it's Duo and Trowa. I just LOVE 2x3. :) Children of the Night is by Richard Marx.

( Song Lyrics)
* Duo's Thoughts/Memories*

Children Of The Night

The suns shines into a room where two Gundam Pilots are relaxing. One sits in a chair reading. The other one is stretched out on the bed listing to his walkman. Vibrant violet eyes are closed and his long rope of chestnut hair falls over his shoulder. A slight frown comes to his face as he listens and remembers his past.

(All that I know in my life I have larned on the streets)

*The fear and elation of the first time he picked a lock all on his own*

(No magic carpet, no genie, no shoes on my feet)

*Walking down a street covered in show with only rags wrapped around his feet to protect them*

(Will I wake up from this nightmare, fear that chills me to the bone)

*A small boy jerks awake gasping for breath, shaking with a cold that is more than physical.*

(Though I may be one of many, I feel so all alone)

*A large group of homless wander around the street. One boy with violet eyes seems to stand out among the crowd*

(We are the children of the night,)

*Solo and Duo running away from soliders*

(We won't go down without a fight)

*A braided boy stares at the destruction of a church with tears in his eyes.*

(Our voices strong, Our futures bright)

*Duo sits on a park bench all alone. In the background an image of Father Maxwell slowly fades away*

(And thanks to what we've learned from you)

*Solo sitting on the ground offering to help the small violet eyed boy he just found.

(We've grown into the children of the night)

*Duo strolling down the street smirking*

(Left by my father with only this scar on my face)

*My scars are all on the inside* he thinks.

(Told by my mother, that no, you were just a mistake)

*Is that why I was an orphan?*

(I have tasted my own hunger, sold my body to survive)

Violet eyes grow grim as he remembers the hunger and the things he had to do to survive on the streets.

(So the pain has scratched the surface but they can't touch what's inside)

A broad grin crosses his face. *Shinigami lives!*

(We are the children of the night,
We won't go down without a fight
Our voices strong, Our futures bright
And thanks to what we've learned from you
We've grown into the children of the night)
(How I long for something better then this life I know too well)

*Sometimes....I get so tired of all this.* he thinks with a sad sigh.

(Though I know I'm bound for Heaven...)

Looking over at the other pilot he smiles. *My heaven is in your arms*

(Because I've done my time in hell)

*Been there...done that*

(We are the children of the night,
We won't go down without a fight
Our voices strong, Our futures bright
And thanks to what we've learned from you
We've grown into the children of the night)

One tear slides down the face of the loney boy catching the attention of the other pilot he puts down his book and walks over. Sitting on the edge of the bed he gently brushes away the tear. Duo's eyes fly open in surprise and he finds himself staring into jewled eyes.
"Daijobu desu ka?" the other pilot asks gently.
"Hai. Daijobu." Duo murmers back.
The other pilot climbs onto the bed and cuddles Duo
closesly. "Ai Shiteru, zutto."
Duo smiles warmly, "Ai Shiteru." (Though I know I'm bound for Heaven)
Owari


Daijobu desu ka = Are you alright?
Hai. Daijobu = Yes. Alright.
Ai Shiteru, zutto = I love you, forever.
