Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ The Perfect Color for You ❯ The Letter ( Chapter 1 )

What does it mean to be alive?

What does it mean to have a soul?

We all ask these questions

Praying that someone will give us the answer

Yet, what if no one speaks?

Afraid to be wrong.

What if no one had fought?

Afraid to be harmed.

Sacrifice

Chapter 1 The Letter

A brown haired boy lay on the couch in the apartment. It was room was small, single bedroom with the kitchen and living room occupying the same space. The winter cold slipped in through the windowsill, trying to stay awake, the world was calm, the heavens where at peace, no longer sending its angels to earth.

But, the intensity of war is hard to forget, even for angels.

Later.

Wearing backpacks and uniforms the two boys walked to school. This conformity and restriction was a difficult aspect of this new world. Itchy collars, chilling jackets, and a constant pain in the frontal lob caused by girls, school, and boredom.

"What classes do you have today?"

"The same classes we have everyday."

Sigh The auburn haired boys turned his face up to the sky gazing at the tiny crystals falling from the heavens. "Damn snow."

"Better watch where you are going."

"What? Why…"

His question was answered when the taller boy jabbed him in the hip, that is when Duo, who still had not looked to see where he was going noticed the ice and the impending fall. With the grace of a drowning swimmer, he fell onto the sidewalk.

"Graze." Heero said as he continued walking to school.

The sound of laughter filled Duo's ears as he eventually gained enough courage to open his eyes and see a legion of girls leaning over the schools gate giggling profusely. It aggravated him though that they where not even looking at him, they where all gawking at Heero who walked nonchalantly in through the gates.

The classroom was set up like any other classroom. Boys and girls sitting facing the teacher as he lectures about cell biology.

Duo was in the back row, sleeping. Showing little or no interest in this low division science. To say the least, he showed very little interest in anything at school other then his own personal study of sleep apnea.

Computer science wasn't bad though. Go to class and learn to type, or design a webpage. Or look up porn. As the boys in class where always talking about. Duo thought that to be kinda boring, he had seen plenty of naked people.

Heero always aced that class, finishing his work in record time. If he found that he had completed the assignment in that class he would lean back in his chair and try to relax. But today something was bothering him.

His former comrade could sense this higher then normal tension. Mr. Cool was a little on edge.

"Heero, what are you doing after school?"

"I need to check up on something that has been bothering me." Speaking softly as he looked over his shoulder at the violet eyed boy who fussed with the frame script on the raw html project.

"What?"

"I'll tell you later. But you should probably come along too."

Duo tried to keep working after hearing this, but that is easier said then done.

Next chapter.. The Compass

It is short but it will get better ^_^
