Last Day of Work [one-shot]
Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2004 7:48 pm
Genre: Drama/Angst. Plain killer-sunshine.
Rating: PG-13 I suppose...
Summary:
?Relena,? you say her name and glare at her, but she knows that you?re hurting inside. ?I can?t do this. I?m not going into that glorious sunset with you, Heero.?
- - -
Oh, and the featured song is ?After All? by Cher and Jon Secada. Selected lyrics have been put in. The song really is beautiful and romantic. I feel ashamed for using it this way.
- - -
Warning:
This is not a happy 1xR. I repeat: this is NOT a happy 1xR. Now, go read and you can yell, scream, and bite at me later. I shall do so myself.
- - -
?Last Day of Work?
And here we are again
I guess it must be fate
And so I have come to realize that even through all the pain and worrying and torture that men, such as you, Heero Yuy, deem to do to young, vulnerable ladies like me?
That ultimately you have no control over my mind and spirit. I am my own person and it will remain that way forevermore.
- - -
You look up at me.
You look up at me, your eyes asking the question that your lips just can?t seem to utter.
Is this all worth it? I?m not sure.
I guess I want it, or do I just pretend?
Our breathing becomes more ragged and despite our insignificant closeness, I feel that we?re buildings apart.
We gaze into each other?s eyes. You?re still holding that little box in front of me.
?No.?
Reaching out, I close my hand over yours, letting you hold the jewelry by yourself. I can?t accept this gift ? this proposal ? and I realize that I?m not ready to move forward into the future.
Always just beyond my touch,
Though I needed you so much,
After all what else is living for?
- - -
?Relena,? you say her name and glare at her, but she knows that you?re hurting inside.
?I can?t do this. I?m not going into that glorious sunset with you, Heero. The war still battles within me, I hope you can understand.?
?No, I don?t.? came the blunt reply. ?You?re supposed to be a pacifist, so act like one.? He pulled out his gun and aimed it between her eyes. Heero was trying to provoke her into submission, pathetically attempting to bring out the peaceful Relena Darlian that he had come to know.
After all the stops and starts,
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who?ve been rescued from the fall
?Pull the trigger, then.?
?Don?t make me.? A low predatory growl escaped his lips.
?I can?t be the same girl you knew before.? And her eyes saddened at his confusion. He never could understand her, not until it was too late.
?Don?t lie, Relena, you never lie.? She started to shake her head in sympathy. ?Don?t do that Relena, don?t do it?? he thrust the velvet box in front of her, his voice growing with intensity, but she pushed it away again. ?You can?t do this Relena, not to me, not to me, NOT TO ME!?
It?s time to finish your mission, Pilot 01. A strange voice from inside their heads called out...
The moment seemed to freeze in ice as his trigger hand trembled violently.
?Pull the trigger, damnit!? she thought to herself, hoping his end would come with mercy. She needn?t worry about hers.
?Do it, Heero!? she screamed into his face, startling him.
? omae o koroso ?
And he pulled.
- - -
Heero walked through the corridors of the building, ignoring the curious stares that the others were giving him.
They meant nothing to him.
He walked into an adjacent street alley, into the melting rain and put the gun straight to his heart.
He?d be with her soon.
Heero and Relena.
And after all that we?ve been through
It all comes down to me and you
- - -
May you both be blessed, man and woman. Husband and wife.
Until the day you both shall die.
I guess it?s meant to be
Forever you and me
After all.

A/N: Gah!!! I need to write some light-hearted stories? sometime? apparently; this is not one of them. *cries over the loss of 1xR* :x
