It had been a month since the funeral, Hilde had just been trying to get by from day to day, the accident had taken more than just Duo away from her, it took her arm, one of her eyes, and most importantly her heart. Duo had meant everything to her, more than her life, she didn?t know how she?d get by, she didn?t know how she?d live by Duo?s words and get happy.
She hadn?t been going out much since then, only for the necessities of food, and occasionally laundry when she ran out of clean clothes. She began shutting out the world completely, were to the point were getting the time of day out of her was nearly impossible. To her life was surviving to the next day, joy, thrill, excitement, and most of all love were now dead in her life, to herself she was as dead as Duo was, all that remained of the Hilde Schebeker people knew was her battered shell of a body.
She was at the Laundromat that afternoon, she was reaching in with her arm to get her clothes, she didn?t bother to look at her clothes, nothing could mater to her now. To her it was all a big bunch of blue, with a little red and white that she put on her body. When she had collected them all in her laundry basket, she began to walk away, until she heard a familiar voice from behind her.
?Hilde wait? the voice called from behind her.
She turned slowly to face a tall young boy with dark chestnut hair that covered half of his face walking up to her. It took her a second to recognize that this was an old comrade of Duo?s, Trowa Barton.
?You dropped this? he said while handing her a red beret ?I saw it fall out of your basket?
at the sight of this Hilde nearly cried, she?d recognize that beret from any were, it was the beret Duo gave her after they escaped from the moon base, the first gift Duo ever gave Hilde. She gave all her might to hold back the tears that were swelling up in her remaining eye, yet a tiny bit of tear came out by the corner.
?Thanks Trowa? she said in a somewhat chocked voice, before taking it and continuing to walk away until she got to the door.
With the basket held between body and only arm she couldn?t grab the door knob. ?Aw crap, why do they have to have a knob,? she said complaining to herself
Trowa than went and opened the door for her, there was something in his manner though, that sparked a sudden interest to her surprise.
?Thanks, say don?t you have laundry?? Hilde said noticing that he hadn?t once gone over by the machines.
?No? Trowa responded ?I just came here cause I play donkey Kong at 2:30 every week.? While pointing to the arcade games in the back.
?Oh? Hilde said ?do you need a ride back to the circus, cause I could drive you?
?Actually I need a place to stay, my trailer is being fumigated, and my co workers won?t let me room with them cause I scare them? Trowa said trying to avoid the fact that he had no friends besides the former gundam pilots.
?you could stay with me for the time being? Hilde said casually, two voices than spoke in the back of her head, one saying that she was crazy for doing this, the other voice rejoicing.
As she walked out the door, Trowa watched her body move as gracefully as a flock of swans. It seemed as if time had slowed down all around him except for his heart, her dark blue hair seemed as if it were a silk woven by angles, her eyes endless pools of blue that he could drown in, her ensemble of plain jeans and a blue and white striped T-shirt that just went past the part were her arm was severed brought out every detail of beauty in her essence. Yet her eye it showed the pain in her soul, a pain that Trowa held inside his heart, never telling anyone, never letting the world know his sorrow.
The car ride was a quiet one, neither was a conversationalist anymore, the ride was a simple high way ride, there were barley any cars on the road, and the flight of a bird over head was rare, especially with the coming winter.
The silence was broken after they came out from a tunnel when Trowa said ?I see you have a glass eye, do you mind if I borrow a case and some solution for mine?
Hilde just looked from the steering wheel to Trowa and said ?how?d you know that?? then returning her gaze to the road.
?When we came out of that tunnel, the pupil didn?t change when the sun hit it? Trowa responded ?also, the light reflects off of a glass eye, while a normal eye just absorbs the light?
?That?s pretty observant of you, sure, I?ve got a spare one you could barrow?
the rest of the car ride was without a sound, until they came up to Hilde?s house, and Hilde said ?well here we are,? she said almost pleasantly, ?I?ll get your steak dinner on as soon as I?? she forgot, she was no longer cooking for Duo, and it once again brought her on the verge of tears.
?It?s okay,? Trowa said while looking at her ?I can manage for myself, you?ve already done more than enough?
?That reminds me? Hilde said just realizing it ?why aren?t you staying with Catherine or Quatre??
?They died in a car accident? Trowa said in his plain voice, yet on the inside his heart was chocked in pain.
?Oh, I?m sorry? Hilde said while stepping out of the car.
?Don?t be? Trowa said while getting out of the car and picking up the laundry ?you weren?t the driver that crashed into them.?
That evening at dinner, the two of them had a small bowl of soup each, without either saying a word. Trowa had cooked a small recipe he had learned from watching Catherine, with a couple carrots and potatoes.
Neither or them said a word until they were getting ready for bed, Trowa was brushing his teeth and Hilde was taking out her glass eye, yet she was having trouble concentrating, the thought kept creeping into her head, the thought that said ?what were you thinking, you?ve barely ever had a conversation with this guy, and now you?re letting him spend the weekend at your house? and with that the thought of Duo entered her head and she was even more distracted. ?Oh Duo, why?d it have to be you?
With that distraction in her mind, her fingers slipped, and her glass eye fell to the floor and shattered.
Trowa looked over at her with the sound it made, and he watched her stare at it for a moment, before bending down to pick up the pieces.
Trowa than spat out the tooth paste and bent down and said ?here have mine? while reaching in and taking it out
?No it?s all right, its fine. Why?d it have to be you Duo? she than was taken aback by the words she just uttered, yet continued speaking ?why?d you have to push me out of the way of the blast, why?d you have to be taken like everyone else? now the tears she had been holding back for all this time began to come out.
?at least yours were were taken from you, and not sent by you? Trowa said also taken aback by his comment and dropping his glass eye to the floor, yet also continuing ?every one who ever meant something to me, who ever cared for me, who ever I cared about met there end because of me. Why?d I have to send Cathy and Quatre on that date! I could have had them have a romantic evening at Quatre?s house but I had to send them to that damn restaurant, were they were hit by that damn driver!? and now the tears that Trowa had been holding in also released themselves from his eye.
?Oh Trowa? Hilde said in sobs, with tears pouring down, while wrapping her arm around him
?Hilde? Trowa said with the same tears of pain loss and quilt coming down his face as was on hers.
They then spent the night crying their pains and sins away, in each others warm loving embrace.
They woke up the next morning still in each others embrace; tears soaked the shoulder creating wet dark blotches. A heavy snow fall covered the land around them, a heavy snow that begged for them to go out and make the first steps in this newly placed foundation.
They then without a word put on jackets and went out side, Hilde walked a couple steps this was the first time she had experienced snow, she had lived in the colonies till this point.
?Last night was the first time I cried? Trowa said from behind her ?now I want today to be my first??
?Your first what? Hilde said while looking behind only to get a snowball in her face, than for the first time since the accident, she laughed and giggled ?no fair?
A similar laugh came from Trowa, as he prepared a second snow ball, yet Hilde grabbed handfuls of snow in her hand and tossed them at Trowa. Soon they were having a playful snow ball fight, with laughter lighting every inch of there face, and the snow. It went on till Hilde tackled Trowa playfully and the two of them fell to the ground laughing, until it gradually died down yet smiles still shined on there face, as they looked into each others.
?Her eye is beautiful? Trowa thought as he stared into her bright blue eye of warmth and compassion.
?His eye is beautiful? Hilde thought as she stared into his emerald green eye of strength and understanding.
Time seemed to slow down as they began moving towards each other there lips than touched and it gradually became a large kiss. His arms around her, her arm around him, the fire of love and joy, had now returned to there heart, and the fear, hatred, quilt, sorrow, and pain was extinguished.
One year 2 months and 4 days later they were married with the same loving looks on there faces, and thus began a life of happiness and love together.
The End?
No, love has no ending, only new beginnings.
