Shi-chan: *Listening to the Jigglypuff song* I need a life. And maybe some sleep.
Duo: Blame it on the fics.
Shi-chan: Where did everyone else go?
Duo: They fell asleep after the second fic. They weren't in any after that.
Shi-chan: I can fix that...
Duo: Really? What happened to the shounen-ai one you were planning?
Shi-chan: I'm doing that one -after- this one. I'm still downloading the song.
Duo: Another songfic...? I thought you said this was the last...

How

Songfic 3 from the oh-so-obsessed one


//I didn't come this far for you to make this hard for me.
And now you want to ask me "how"?//

Duo Maxwell turned away from Heero again. "No way, Heero. You blew me off too many times."
"Please, Duo, I'm sorry. I didn't know I was being cold." The Perfect Soldier had found his heart shattered in a thousand peices when Duo had left.

//It's like - how does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?
How does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?//

"I want you. I _need_ you. I'm sorry if I can't understand you right now, but I'm trying."

//Why did you come here?
You weren't invited.
You were on the outside - Stay on the outside.//

Duo turned his back. "I don't think so. I loved you, I did everything I could for you, and you never noticed. You have no emotions."

//And now you want to ask me "why"?
It's like - why does your heart beat, and how do you cry?
How does your heart beat?//

Duo felt as if a peice of him were being torn out. His emotions were crying out, demanding that he run to his koi and embrace him and everything would be all right. But Duo knew better.

//And there are some things that I'd like to figure out.
There are some things that I can do without -//

Heero couldn't beleive that now, of all times, Duo couldn't see that he had changed. He had finally realized that he was destroying himself, Duo, and their relationship. "Duo, I need you. I'm trying so hard."

//Like you, and your letters that go on forever,
And you, and the people that were never friends.//

"Heero...don't you see? I don't understand you either. We may not ever understand each other. We're better off apart."

//With all the things that you could be,
You never could learn how to be me.//

"Duo...please..."
Heero, is this the way we have to do this?

//And now you want to ask me "how"?//

Duo turned his back on his friend and walked away. "I'm sorry Heero. I'm sorry."

//It's like - how does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?
How does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?//

"Goodbye, Heero."

Duo: I thought that one wasn't going to be shounen-ai...
Shi-chan: Oi...so tired....
Duo: *yawns* Last one? Come on, places to go, people to see, the God of Death here needs a little sleep...
