Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Too Much Love Will Kill You Someday ❯ Someday... (Part One) ( Chapter 2 )

Author's Ramble: Finally got around to writing this chapter. Had the idea, just not the desire to actually write it… Man, am I lazy at times…

This is also followed up from both Side Story One Shots, `The Reason' and `Made In Heaven'. It does not explain why Wufei is suddenly at Duo's apartment, nor why Heero is waiting in an airport. If you wish to understand these reasons, and many others that are probably there, but I can't think of at the moment, then I suggest that you go read them. They will help you understand the story better. If you don't care, then just read on!



Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing. I do not own a Taxi. I do not own the airport. Hell, I don't even own a TV of my own! Though, I do own a computer, but it doesn't have internet connections, so it doesn't count… (I do not own the song `Love the One You're With' by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young or the song `Someday' by Nickelback. I also did not use `Someday' in its entirety. That will all be explained in the next chapter.)



Warning(s): See previous chapter.



Rating: Meh.



Pairings: Vote on it!



SOMEDAY…



"Who do I choose?!" Duo yelled to himself, glancing at the clock in apprehension. Banging his hand against the table, the braided man stood in anger, glaring at his radio clock and hitting it with his fist. Spluttering to life, the radio told him, "There's a Rose

In a fisted Glove

and the eagle flies with the dove

and if you can't be with the one you love

it's alright

Go ahead and love the one, love the one, love the one your with

love the one, love the one, love the one your with



If your guy can't come to you

and you don't remember who your talking to

your concentration slips away

because your baby, she is so so far away



And there's a rose in a fisted glove

and the eagle flies with the dove

and if you cant be with the one you love

love the one your with



Don't be angry

don't be sad

Don't sit cryin' for good times you had

There's a girl right next to you

and she's waiting for something to do



And there's a rose in a fisted glove

and the eagle flies with the dove

and if you cant be with the one you love

love the one your with



Do it

do it

do it

Turn your heartache into joy

She's a girl and your a boy

get together, make it tonight,

you ain't gonna need no more advice



And there's a rose in a fisted glove

and the eagle flies with the dove

and if you cant be with the one you love

love the one your with



Just love the one your with"



Punching the radio off, Duo looked to his door, asking weakly, "But, how do I know which one is the one I'm with? How do I decide…? How can I do this…?"

Looking up quickly, Duo ran towards the door, grabbing his dark denim jacket from the couch and pocketing his apartment keys in one of his deep jean pockets. Slipping his arms into the jacket so it covered his black T-shirt, he pulled open his apartment door and ran from the flat. Choosing the stairs over the elevator, he slid down the seven floors of handrails and quickly hailed a taxi. Slamming the door behind him, he told the Chinese man his destination before buckling in and holding on for his life.

Only later would it be discovered how important those actions truly were.

How the hell did we wind up like this?

Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed

And try turn the tables

Walking into the apartment, Wufei asked, "Duo? Are you in here? Are you ready to go?" Blinking at how the lights were still on, even though no American male was in his line of vision, Wufei wandered further into the flat. Maybe he was in the bedroom…? Walking through the apartment, Wufei called out once more, "Duo? Are you ready for dinner?"

Stopping in the kitchen, Wufei looked around the bright and cheery room, taking in its chaotic state.

A chair was flung away from the table, and a cup was filled with water on the counter. The radio was pushed back against the wall, scuffmarks covering its front. There was no note in the Chinese man's sight, no explanation as to where his missing boyfriend could possibly be. Sitting in the thrown back chair, Wufei decided that he could wait, even if it took all night for Duo to get back. Hell, he had waited years just for Duo to even think of him romantically! A few hours was a piece of cake compared to that…

I wish you'd unclench your fists, and unpack your suitcase

Lately there's been too much of this

But don't think it's too late

Glancing at the clock, Heero sighed, angry at himself for being disappointed that Duo hadn't shown. `I mean,' he thought to himself, `why shouldhe show? I wasa right bastard to him… At least he is happy with Wufei…' Grabbing his boarding tickets, Heero stood and made his way to security, heart heavy with disappointment and pain. For all his thoughts and words, he still couldn't fool himself into being happy, completely happy, for Duo.

Sighing, Wufei wondered how long he had been at the apartment. Glancing at the bright numbers on the microwave, he discovered that it had already been an hour and thirteen minutes. Looking down, he resumed loading the dishwasher, having eaten a small sandwich earlier. Duo should have come home by now!

`Unless, he's avoiding me. But, what reason would he have for avoiding me? I thought that he enjoyedmy company…' Closing the door to the appliance, Wufei dragged his feet over to the main room, dropping himself onto a chair and closing his eyes. Glancing around the room, he blinked when he saw the bright red numbers on the phone. Standing, he walked towards the bright number three and pressed the `Listen' button.

Someday, somehow

I'm gonna make it all right, but not right now

I know you're wondering when

(You're the only one who knows that)

Someday, somehow

I'm gonna make it all right, but not right now

I know you're wondering when

Sitting in the stiff plastic chair, Heero leafed through the day's paper, not really paying attention to the pile of words before him. Glancing up, his eyes were drawn to the TV screen as a blurry picture swung over a jammed street. There was smoke coming for the road and the box of captions informed all in the airport of a recent car wreck on one of the busier highways. The cause of the accident was still unknown, Heero learned, but there was a massive pile up of cars, and the traffic was rapidly piling up. Shaking his head at the cruelty of life, he returned to his paper, swirling image from a helicopter still playing on the screen.

Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway

That we could end up saying

Things we've always needed to say

So we could end up staying

Now the story's played out like this

Just like a paperback novel

Let's rewrite an ending that fits

Instead of a Hollywood horror

"Duo…" a voice said over the answering machine. Blinking, Wufei recognized the voice of none other than Heero Yuy. But, why was Yuy still contacting Duo? Hadn't they broken up months ago?

"Onegai Duo. Just hear me out this one last time, Duo. I just wanted you to know that I am leaving. The Preventers offered me a high ranking position, and since I have nothing to tie me here anymore, I thought, why not? So, I just wanted… Damn it Duo, I don't know what I want! I just decided that I would ask you to come see me off… That is, if you still want to try to work on our relationship. I still don't understand why you left me in the first place… I sent all the information to your e-mail… If you don't show up, I won't contact you anymore. Just… Gomen Duo, for whatever it was I did to ruin our love. Onegai Duo-kun, aishiteru."

Wufei then heard his own voice come over the speakers, but his mind did not register it. Instead, he was confused as to if this phone message could explain where his boyfriend was. Had Duo left to go say goodbye to Heero? To apologize? To get back together with him? He had been with the 01 pilot for much longer than he had been with Wufei, and so he could still hold love in his heart for the Japanese male. Sinking to the floor, Wufei sat on his knees, head bowed and eyes closed, fighting confused and hurt tears, as the last message finished with, "Please return them Mr. Maxwell, for they are on hold for some of or other members. Thank you, and have a nice day."

Rushing towards the hospital, an ambulance blared its sirens and flashed its lights, driver quickly leading it to the emergency room entrance of the hospital. Wheeling their victim inside, the doctor asked, "Stats?"

"Car crash. The taxi was going too fast. Seat belt helped, but he got his with glass and was burned badly. Lost an unknown amount of blood before the paramedics got to him. Pulse weak, breathing shallow. Possible spinal and or head injury. Loss of consciousness before he arrived here." the orderly stated, reading from the information that one of the nurses had handed her.

"Get him into Operation Room Eight! Hook him to life support as well! Nurse, you help me!" the doctor ordered, each person speeding away, determined to help lessen the critical condition of their patient.

Rushing down the hall, the doctor speed up once he saw one of the nurses running towards him.

"Hurry doctor! He's having a seizure, and…" not finishing, the nurse quickly ran after the doctor, who was now running towards Operation Room 8.

Pushing open the doors, the doctor hurried to the patient's side, registering how sporadic the heart rate monitor was beeping, indicating that his heart was attempting to push his blood through his arteries, yet did not have the strength to do the job properly. Just as he was reaching for a sedative to calm the patient's muscles, a dull, continuous beep was heard in the room, the sound droning out everything else. Waving his hands towards the door and yelling to the nurses to begin CPR.

"One, two, three, four…" the nurse who was in charge of the chest thrusts counted, pushing with all her weight onto the still man. Once she reached fifteen, the orderly at the man's head placed his lips over his mouth, giving three breaths into the male's body, pinching the still man's nose and watching to make sure that the chest rose with each forced breath.

But, after seventeen minutes, the head nurse looked to the doctor and asked him what they should do. Shaking his head, the doctor said, "We can't save him…" Lowering his head, the doctor sighed as one of the nurses stepped forward to disconnect the various tubes and wires from the man. Looking at his deceased patient, the doctor asked, "Time of death?"

"Seven Twenty-Six P.M." an orderly stated. Nodding, the doctor wrote the time on a form and said, "I will fill out and file the necessary paperwork. Nurse, please discover all the information on the patient that you can. Also, please contact any next of kin and ask if he was an organ donor. Also, call for the body to be removed from the operating room."

"Of course doctor." The nurse said as she turned and walked towards the double doors. Looking at the man once more, the doctor sighed, following the nurse, leaving the dark-haired man to lie in cold death.
