Sweet dreams my Shinigami

 

 

“Heero, there has been news about Duo.” Quatre whispered sadly as he sat next to the morose boy.

Heero waited for him to continue. He was afraid Quatre would speak the words he feared most.

“Duo's Gundam was destroyed and there are no signs that Duo survived. They have been looking for a body for weeks. All they found was this,” Quatre said calmly as if rehearsed. He handed Heero a switchblade, engraved with the words “ Dream as if you'll live for ever. Live as if you'll Die today” - James Dean. That was from Duo's favorite movie. Heero just sat and stared at the words. He slowly looked at Quatre and smiled a sad smile. Quatre was taken back because in all his days of knowing Heero, he had never seen him smile. Quatre choked back a sob as Heero got up and went to the bathroom switchblade in tow. Quatre quickly got up as if to follow him but stopped in his tracks as Heero locked the door behind him quietly.

`Even in pain he is polite and quiet as ever.' Quatre thought solemnly. He decided to leave Heero alone in his sorrow.

 

Heero pressed his ear against the door to listen for movement. He heard nothing and knew he was alone. He slid to the floor in disbelief.

`This can't be true.. it just can't. I refuse to believe you'd leave me.'

He slowly opened the blade and watched the moonlight dance upon it. He gathered his knees to his chest in pain as he held the knife tightly. `I wish I could cry for you. But I can't bring myself to do so even though they say your dead. I don't believe it. I am as cold as ever. Baka. I can't believe you. If I can't be with you in this world….then I don't want to be in this world at all.' He stated with conviction as he let the cold steel touch his wrist. He pressed lightly against his wrist as he felt the warm liquid spill over onto his fingertips. He began to sing the lyrics he knew too well from his beloved `Red rivers flow. And Down I go. I try to so hard but it can't help but show.' He stood and stared at the puddle of blood before him. A slight reminiscent smile touched his lips as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.

`I will be with you soon my Shinigami. That I promise you' He vowed as he fell to the floor the blade still clutched in the hand. He began to count his heartbeats as he counted the rain just weeks before. `One, two three, four,f..ivve..'
