" Last Rites"Written By: Presser
Disclaimer: Gundam Wing characters aren't ours Rating: R, for great angst Warnings: during the war, very graphic, deathfic, both Heero and Duo die Feedback: Yes, please! Summary: Heero and Duo are badly hurt during the war, and share their last moments together. ----------------------- Authors' Notes This is quite graphic, so if you don't like blood, don't read this. But! There is an emotional intensity here that makes the graphicness worth going through. For those who are willing to read it, we hope you find the same depth of love expressed that we intended to communicate. A two-part deathfic by Presser and Mishimo Tatsuo. (Both parts in this post.)
Last Rites
Part I All for You Duo's POV by Presser ----------------------- Heero? Why - why are we wet? And, Heero? Your arm - it - it's so sticky. Heero? Why are you sleepin' with your eyes open? Heero? Please, Heero? Won't you answer me? Your hands, they're so - so red. Red 'n' brown 'n' sticky, like someone spilled - I don't know, some kinda sweet sauce on ya. Heero? Your hands - they're so cold, baby. Heero? Can't you hear me? Please, baby, look at me. I can't stand the way you just stare off into the distance - it's like you're not here any more. Heero? I just leaned down to kiss you, and your head - it sort of lolled to the side. Hahahaha. You gotta pay attention to me, baby - I'm trying to kiss you. My hand, Heero - when I try to turn your head, my hand - it sticks to the red sauce on your face. Hahahaha. You gotta learn to be neater when you eat, Heero. Wait, though. O god, Heero - you - you're not sick, are you? Heero? Please answer me, baby. I need to know you're alright. Heero? You look better now that I closed your eyes, Heero. More peaceful, more rested. An' Heero? It's okay if you can't kiss me back right now. I know you need to sleep more than anything. Heero? One more thing, okay? Could you hold me? I know you're weak from the loss of all this blood, but - maybe if I sort of put your arms around me, and I lay my head on your chest - Heero? Pretend with me, okay? Let's pretend we're just sleeping together, curled up on the sofa in our old apartment, before we were called out on mission. There, baby. With your eyes closed, your hand draped across my back, I can almost believe you're sleeping, snuggling with me. Heero? I - I love you, Heero. Guess I should've to ld you that before this mission. Who knew it would be your last? I - I think maybe it should be my last, too. Heero? I wanna kiss you, Heero, but your arm - it keeps slippin off my back when I lean up to brush your lips. Your blood - it looks good on me, Heero. It's so dark against my pale arms. Even as it cools, it warms me from the inside out. Heero? I never told you what you mean to me. Hope you can forgive me, wherever you've gone. If you don't come back, I'm gonna join you, Heero. It's the only right thing to do. Besides, how on earth could I live without you to hold me? Heero? I - Heero? * * * Just then Heero Yuy's corpse shuddered under Duo Maxwell's shy embrace. Duo saw the neck angled backwards, the tongue perforated between clenched teeth. Duo calmly picked up a jagged piece of shrapnel nearby. He popped the zipper on his flight suit and tenderly cut the letters "HY" into his chest. Fresh blood ran freely down the Deathscythe pilot's stomach. * * * Heero? I'm coming, baby, I'm coming. I - I love you so much - * * * Duo straightened Heero's head again, opened his eyes,
arranged hislover's hands on his chest so that Heero seemed to be
holding the twisted metal fragment. Duo positioned himself over the
sharp edge and looked * * * Here I come, Heero. I - I love you. * * * Duo Maxwell leaned into the shrapnel, piercing his skin, the stringy muscles of his chest, finally the beating sac of blood within. He cried out as he fell forward onto his lover's face: * * * Heer - Owari
