Vidfic no. 2
Shounen-AIIIIIII!
[Scene opens with Heero standing at a graveside in the rain. The white headstone contrasts with the red roses beside it and the black roses in Heero's arms.]
Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
[Heero kneels beside the grave and places the black roses against the stone, we can clearly see the name inscribed there: Duo Maxwell.]
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
[A flash of thunder lights up the sky]
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
[The rain starts to come down harder but Heero continues to kneel beside Duo's grave.]
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
[Flashback: Duo and Heero sitting by a fire talking, all the Gundam boys opening Christmas gifts, Heero and Duo lying in bed asleep.]
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
[The rain and lightning continue with the flashbacks. Heero's face it shadowed.]
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
[Quatre appears and takes Heero's hand. He and Trowa lead Heero back to the car where Wufei is waiting. All look concerned. Heero's ice-blue eyes are blank.]
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
[Flashback: Duo with his arms around Heero's shoulders. Heero looks grumpy as usual.]
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
[Flashback: Duo praying outside in the dark while Heero watches from the window.]
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
[Flashback: Duo in Deathscythe, looking worried, flipping switches and yelling something into the radio]
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
[Flashback: Heero's anguished face screaming Duo's name.]
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
[Heero, lying in bed alone in the dark, tosses and turns. He gets up and leaves the room.]
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
[Heero is standing on top of the building, looking down at the city below. He is holding one of the black roses in his left hand, and steps to the edge of the roof. He tightens his fist around the rose and steps off the building in slow-motion.]
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
[Heero falls, his eyes closed, right arm reaching up from whence he came. A washed-out image of a young boy with chestnut hair appears before him. Heero's eyes half-open and he smiles at his angel.]
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
[Duo and Heero fall together in slow motion.]
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
[Heero closes his eyes.]
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
