Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Fallen Angels ❯ Duo Remembers ( Chapter 1 )

"It's such a beautiful day!" Duo exclaimed as he looked up at the clear blue sky. A hand shielding his eyes from the sun. "Though such days remind me of him..." A tear slid down the chestnut haired boy's cheek as he remembered that wonderful, yet horrible day.

Three months earlier:

Duo opened his eyes to the sun streaming in the window of the room he shared with his love Heero. It was a wonderful spring morning at a time when the flowers had just bloomed and the cheey blossoms were falling from the trees. The wold was full of delightful perfumes as it was full of such love for another. Duo could feel the warmth of the body beside him as he turned to smile down at his precious angel. He stroked the boys hair lovingly and leaned over to give him a gentle kiss on the forehead. Heero's eyes fluttered open to gaze into the violet eyes of his partner. The fantest smile spread on Heero's lips to show he was happy to see the beautiful braided boy. He embraced Duo and brushed his lips on the soft skin of the boy's neck. The lie in the silk seets of the bed for what seemed an eternity.

"Heero?"

"Hm?"

"I want this to last forever...I never want us to part."

"Don't worry we will always be together."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

When Duo heard the reasurance from his love he again relaxed in Heero's arms, and again felt the soft kisses on his neck and ear. He sighed with pleasure and happieness.

As the morning wore on Duo and Heero completed their daily "rituals" whiched incluede showering together to let Heero wash Duo's long brown hair followed by a brushing of the hair and braiding it. Then they would go to the kitchen and Duo would make breakfast for the both of them. Though Quatre and Trowa usually baet them to the kitchen every morning. Wufei always made himself scarce as he was always somewhat of a loner and never felt comfterable around the others even though he accepted it enough to share a house with them.

That day was Heero and Duo's turn to go grocery shopping so after a nice breakfast of eggs and rice they helped eachother get dressed and walked out the door hand in hand.

"Gee Trowa I'm glad those two finally go together....they are so perfect for eachother." Quatre sighed as he watched to two lovers walk down the porch stares and dissapear down the street.

"Not a perfect as us my little blonde angel." Trowa purred. "This story is about Heero and Duo so lets go find something fun to do."

"Oh Trowa!" The small blonde's eyes lit up with excitement as he was lead upstairs to their bedroom.

"It's such a beautiful day!" Duo exclaimed as he looked up at the clear blue sky. A hand shielding his eyes from the sun.

"Yes but not a beautiful as you." Heero picked a cheey blossom from a nearby tree and handed it to Duo "The cherry blossoms always remind me of you. The magic of seeing the cheery blossoms fall from the trees. The feeling you get when you look at them. It's like the feeling I get when I'm with you. Never forget that."

"Heero..." Duo took the cherry blossom and leaned into Heero as they continued their walk in loving silence. Little did they know they were being watched.

An assasin hired by an independant in OZ traked their every move as he watched from a nearby roof. Sniper rifle in hand. As soon as he got the opretune moment he shot and it was if the world slowed down as the bullet penetrated Heero's chest and he gasped from the shock sagging in his lovers arms.

"Heero!" Duo gently lay down the boy on the soft grass of the park they were passing, he saw the blood and immediatly put pressure on the wound to slow the bleeding. "Hold on Heero, please don't leave me."

"Don't worry, I'll be by your side forever like I promised." He raised a hand to caress Duo's cheek. In the distance sirens of the comming ambulace could be heard. Duo was grateful to the person who called for it though is only focus was the bleeding angel in his arms.

"Oh I know Heero...I know everyhting will be ok....just hang on."

"Duo....my love....so beautiful...."

"Please don't speak." Tears were straming down Duo's face as one hand covered the wound and the other covered Heero's hand still on his cheek.

"...beautiful....like the cherry blossoms..." Those last words we like a sigh leaving Heero's lips as the last of his lfe lft his body.

"Heero?" Duo felt Heero's hand go limp in his. "Heero! No you can't die. You said we would always be together! Heero don;t leave me." Duo's sobs filled the still bright day as onlookers watched in sorrow. As the horror of what had happened filled Duo a scream left his lips before he could stop it. "HEERO!!!!!!" He hugged the limp body to his as though he were trying to fill it with his own life until the ambulace got there to take Heero's body away.

"Wait for me Heero...I know you will. I'm going to find out who did this to you if it is the last thing I ever do." He whispered to the back of the departing vehicle, tears still streaming down his face as he wiped at his eyes. "Yes I will find out and I will get even."
