" Departure"Written By: Helen
Warnings: Mostly Heero POV, some Duo POV, Angst Pairings: 1+2 / 2+1 Spoilers: None Archive: http://gundam-wing-diaries.150m.com/gw/main_Updates.html Rating : PG Author's Notes: Fic #7. ^_^ Well uh, it was actually
this song, "Yubiwa" (English = "Ring") that made
me separate Heero and Duo. Gomen!! But I like this song a lot (also
a couple of others that I'm going to string together in this arc).
So here begins the *angst* part of the arc. Oh... about the translations.
I actually took them from both the movie subtitles and the ones that
were on the website just 'cause I like how one worded a part of the
song over the other. (i.e. "I'm so insignificant" rather
than "Even this insignificant me") Special Thanks: My ultra-fast beta Deb!! ::glomps::
Thank you thank you for being my number one beta!! ^_^ Dedication: To Duo Sirius Malfoy (DSM) for always always telling me that my writing is good. Since you like how I do songfics... here's one just for you!! Special Notes: "spoken words"
Departure
<<<Heero POV>>> Job change. That's what's separating us after so long. Sure a year and a half doesn't seem that long to many people, but for me... it was the best I've had. Standing there at his doorstep, after hearing his explanation for writing the single most painful sentence I've ever read, I try in vain to keep it inside. But... it's no use. Inclining my head, a saline bead embraces my eyelash before releasing its hold and plunging toward the open diary, shattering like a crystal on the 3 words. I can't bear to look up again... I turn and run, trying to block his cry... his cry of my name... ~*~*~*~*~ Airport. This is the final moment where we can still be together... on this rainy day. Soft pitter patter. Pitter patter. Pitter patter... Strange how 2 weeks can fly by so quickly. Two weeks... wasted. After running off, I hid from him. No longer were there morning greetings or talks in the cafe or dinners at my house. The phone rang endlessly, the doorbell left unanswered. 'If I don't say goodbye, will he still leave?' I look up as the door to the plane opens. I stare at it, willing it to close again. 'It's too soon...' "Heh... well this is it." Duo says softly, bending down to retrieve his luggage. I remain quiet. "It was... great knowing you, Heero." he continues. Silence. "Well, I'll keep in touch." and he walks toward the door that will sever us... I finally look up, blinking through the watery haze of my vision. I take no notice as they escape the open confines of my eyes. Handing his airline ticket in, Duo turns to me one last time... [namida ga ato kara afuredashite Blinking again and again, I can make out his smile. A small smile... to reassure. But still... it's too soon. I watch helplessly as he turns away, leaving me behind in the shadows. My lips part, desperately wanting to say... [ikanaide ikanaide koko ni ite] But nothing slips out. Not even a "Goodbye." My answer... 'If I don't say goodbye, he will still leave...' [sora e hikari kakenukete yuku] The rain has stopped and the sun shines. Seems the light follows him... or rather, he *is* the light. And what of me? Dark... [konna ni chiisa na watashi dakedo 'Duo... if only you knew. Would you still stay?' The door closes with a hollow thud. Lowering my head, a soft voice seem to whisper, 'It's too late now...' But, I still smile through fresh tears. [arigatou ikutsumo no Making my way over to the large windows, I track the plane's slow progress to the runway. Picking up speed. Lifting off... I place my open hand upon the glass, hoping... wishing that it would reach him. 'Arigato Duo... thank you... Sayonara.' [sono toki zutto, watashi wa <<<Duo POV>>>
I slowly drop my hand that was on the half-covered window moments before, my eyes still locked on the minuscule airport far below. [wasurenaide hitori ja nai 'Don't forget about me... Heero...'
I know he's not. Physically he's not. But he is... here. With me... Fisting my hands up to my chest, crossing them at my wrists, I finally let the tears fall... Silently. [hajimete no koi hajimete shitta <<<Heero POV>>> I blink my tired eyes slowly. Looking up, I no longer see the plane that unknowingly carries a part of my life with it. Finally I drop my hand from the window. How long has it been? Minutes? Hours? [nanika ga shoumetsu shite mo nanika ga Time lapses... from one scene to the next. Already Duo is gone. But I can feel a faint warmth... like a small candlelight... deep within. Clutching onto the front of my apparel, it gently rises. Bit-by-bit. Hope. [wakare ni kureta hohoemi wa tsuyoku ikiyou to yuu <<<Duo POV>>> [itsu kitto aeru I smile again through dry tears, as under my crossed arms the small flame strengthens. 'Just you wait Heero.' [tookutemo hitomi mitsumeau Once again, I place my open palm onto the window, looking down. <<<Heero POV>>> My chin touches the window lightly as I stare up to the sky for one last time, my hand between me and the glass. 'Duo... I'll be waiting.' [yakusoku wo shiyou yo Owari Author's Note : *screams like crazy* Can't you see it?!?!
*mental picture: Duo on one corner looking down and Heero on the opposite
corner looking up, both with their hands on the window* *swoons and
falls over* *gets up* Sorry... I got excited... Yeah... Sooo it wasn't
*that* bad, was it? I didn't really end it all angsty and stuff...
*ahem* *runs away before she gets pelted* |
