Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Letting Go Wufei's Part ❯ Wufei speaks ( Chapter 1 )

“Hey, Wufei, why do you always wear white?” Quatre asked out of the bloom. The two pilots and Duo were gathered at a coffee shop five years after the Mariamaia incident.

“It’s the color of mourning,” the man in question replied, taking a drink of his hot beverage. He looked at his right hand for the briefest moment, a look that was caught by Duo. Wufei got up to get another cup, leaving his friends.

“Q, did you see what’s on his hand?” Duo wondered.

“No, why do you ask?” The Arabian replied. “Well, he’s wearing a gold band on his ring finger,” Duo answered.

“A wedding ring?” Quatre asked, raising an eyebrow. Duo shrugged. “Could be,” the American said. Just then Wufei came back. This shut the other two up, giving the man the feeling that they had been talking about him.

Sighing, and slightly annoyed, he broke the silence. “Were you two talking about me?”

Both men looked at each other, their silence giving Wufei his answer. “What were you talking about?”

“The ring on your finger,” Quatre answered. “Is it a wedding ring?” Duo blurted.

Not realizing it, Wufei’s left hand touched said ring for a brief moment. “Yes, it is.”

Neither pilot had known their friend was married. “Whose the person? Someone we know?” Duo wanted to know.

“No, you don’t know her. She’s the reason I wear white,” Wufei answered, not quite sure why he was telling these two so much about his past. The three didn’t talk anymore of the topic, instead, Duo began to tell the other two about his ‘daughter’s’ latest adventure.

“And so, she looked at Heero and said, ‘Oppsie.’” Duo finished telling them, sending the two men into laughter. Someone coughed behind the American, making him jump. Turning, he saw Heero standing there. The man was holding his daughter’s hand but she broke away and ran over to her other father.

The small blond girl smiled and hugged each man at the table.

Taking a seat next to his lover, Heero gave the girl a small smile, glad to have the small girl if just for now. A little while later, as they were departing, Wufei turned to his two friends and said, “If you want, you can meet her the next time I go.”

Both the blonde and brunette nodded, knowing that this was a great honor. As Heero and Duo watched the other two leave, the Japanese man turned and asked his lover what Wufei’s words had meant.

Duo didn’t answer, just gazed into Heero’s eyes, realizing just how lucky he was.
