Warnings: Heero POV, (not really but...) a pinch
of Angst, Sap Pairings: 1+2 Spoilers: None Archive: Deb's website, "Dragonball-diaries
http://www.dragonball-diaries.150m.com ***Anyone else please ask! I'll most definitely
say yes, but I wanna give credit to people who archived me. ^^ Rating: G Author's Notes : Again, I'm trusting the person
who did the lyrics. I've decided no translation and no diary entry
in this part because trying to fit them in at the end seems to ruin
it. And I also want you to wonder what the lyrics really mean. That
will come out in the next part. When I first heard this song and saw
the lyrics, Ritoru Debiru just went crazy, saying I *must* write something
on it. Hope that you enjoy this part! Special Thanks:My ultra-fast beta Deb!! ::glomps::
Thank you thank you for being my number one beta!! ^_^ Dedication: I give my thanks to the people who
have supported me thus far. Without you guys, I wouldn't have thought
of going on. ^_^
Yumemiru no Tame ni Part 3
I should have known. Selflessness ends up causing pain...
no matter if it is a small tingle of ache or excruciating pang of
hurt. Because of my own happiness, I was blinded by what was in front
of me the whole time. If I had taken Duo's suggestion, this wouldn't
have happened. Stepping into Duo's house, a twinge of guilt and discomfort
grows within my chest. I push open the door of his room. Duo... covered with blankets on his bed, his scarlet
cheeks burning because of his high fever. I just didn't notice! I didn't notice if he was shivering
from the cool moisture collecting on his body. I didn't notice if
he tightened his arms around himself when a gust of wind blew. I didn't
notice if he was trying to keep from sneezing, keep me from knowing...
I just didn't notice... Some friend I am. "Heero...?" I look up and meet with sleepy orchid eyes, having just
woken up. I rush over to his side. "Duo... are you alright?" I ask, passing the
lump in my throat. He smiles and gives a small nod. "Yeah. You didn't need to come over, Heero. I'll
be fine." "Gomen..." I drop to my knees next to the
bed. "I'm sorry, Duo. I was the one who got you sick. If only
I had listened to you and gotten my own jacket, this wouldn't have
happened." He blinks sleepily but smiles. "Don't blame yourself.
I don't blame you." "But --" "Shhh..... It's alright. I just need some rest,
that's all." "Can I stay here... in case you need anything?"
I ask hopefully. He gives one last smile as his eyes begin to close "Thank you... Heero....." ~*~*~*~*~ I glance at the digital clock on his dresser. 10:39pm His fever had gone down around mid-afternoon and he
seems to be alright. I don't want to go home but he's been urging
me to all day long: whenever I brought him water, whenever I got him
a snack, whenever I made him a meal... But each time, I refused. I didn't want to leave him. Not ever. Smiling, I glance back at Duo... and freeze. A tear. A single tear, rolling down Duo's cheek Oh my god... what happened? His brow creased, his jaw clenched, his lips pressed
together. A nightmare. Must be a bad one... But, even so, he shouldn't cry... Duo shouldn't cry!
He's always been the one smiling, laughing, caring... even when I
couldn't. But I can. Now I can. Slowly, I reach out and barely brush the back of my
fingers across his face, wiping the tears away. More fall. Turning
my hand, I gently cup his cheek. With my thumb stroking back and forth,
his tears gradually cease. I keep my hand like this. It feels so right... But then, Duo's slight stirring causes me to snap my
hand back. Just in time. His eyes open, heavy with sleep."Still
here...?" he whispers. I give a nod, not looking at him as my
face grows warm at what I was doing just seconds before. He smiles. "...welcome to stay... spend the... night..." "Ah... Hai." This is a first. Even though
we've known each other for over a year, we never spent the night at
each other's houses before. Probably because of... self-consciousness. "...Heero... could you... press play... on the
CD player...?" I glance over at Duo's tired face. I probably
have a confused look as he shrugs and says, "...helps me sleep..." I nod in understanding and reach over to the dresser
and press play. "...favorite song... don't understand it though..."
He blinks sleepily as the music starts, followed by a male Japanese
singer. [Kimi ga yumemiru tame ni] I gasp. These lyrics... [Kimi ga aisuru mono ni] ...like a reflection of my thoughts... my feelings... I glance over at Duo once again. Eyes closed, a content
smile playing on his face, he hums along with the song until he passes
into dreamland. Looking over at the remaining time of the track, I realize
that this song is actually quite short. Familiar words from the beginning
replays again. [Kimi ga yumemiru tame ni] Yes... I will... [Kimi no kanashimi dake ga] So true... [Kimi ga yumemiru tame ni] For you, Duo... [Kimi ga aisuru mono ni] Only for you... tbc.. Author's Note : Ah... longer part. Try to find the song
and listen to it. ^_^ I skipped like a section of the song (the middle
part) because I found these 2 (or 3 depending how you look at it)
verses to be most appropriate at the moment of Heero's thinking. |
