Fleeting Light of a Full Moon

"You're wrong. You do have something worth giving me. Your heart. I offer you my love and in return I ask for yours. That's all I could ever ask for." You chuckle again.

I close my eyes against the pain that I'm about to force on you. "I can't love you. You deserve so much bet-"

"Heero Yuy! Don't you dare!" Your violet eyes flash dangerously. "Don't you dare tell me you can't love me! Don't you dare tell me I deserve better than you either! I don't want anyone other then you!"

Some time during our argument I've stepped free of the shadows. Now your violet eyes are starring into my cobalt ones. "Duo.....You don't." I shake my head.

"I don't what?"

"You don't understand! You shouldn't love me!"

You're angry now. "Why in the hell not!" You shout at me.

"Their is so much that I have done, So many people that i have hurt. No!" I close my eyes against the images from the war. Though the war is over and has been for over three years, the images are still there. They're still fresh, as if they only happened yesterday.

"Heero." You say my name so softly. I open my eyes. You place the bottle of beer on the ledge, and step forward. I stand still not moving, simply entranced by the way you walk. the natural sway of your hips, the swishing of your braid, the small smile on your face, and you vibrant eyes that shine in the moon light. Soon your arms a wrapped around me. I find myself almost clinging to you. The warmth of your body fights off the cold of the night.

"I love you for who you are 'Ro. That means I love you for your past, the present and the future. I love you. It's that simple. It's not what you've done, but what you're going to do Heero." You burrow yourself into my chest, with my arms wrapped securly around you. My hand travels down your braid, toying with the end.

"I love you." I whisper. My heart is racing. Three simple words that I've been dying to say to you. "I love you." I bury my face into your chestnut hair and breath in the scent that's all you. You place a gentle feather light kiss to my neck.

"I know." As the sound of music floats out from the ballroom I turn my gaze to the sky. The full moon shines brightly.

"Shall we?" I ask softly. The strings pick up, filling the air with soft, elegant notes.

You pull back and look at me. "Dance? With you?" I nod. "I would love to 'Ro."

So we danced in the fleeting light of a full moon and star dusted sky.
