Chapter 5: death (trowa x quatre)
“You could have died.” Trowa sounds so sad.
Quatre looks at the man lying beside him, curled up tight just so he could fit himself in the narrow bed. His thumb is moving in a ceaseless square, tracing the edges of the tape that seals Quatre’s wound underneath his flimsy gown.
He exhales, an apology ready to trip past his lips—one of millions. Half of them is probably reserved for Trowa, for all the things he’d put him through.
“You could have died,” he reminds him, whispering.
Trowa meets his eyes.
Curls up closer still, regardless of the truth.
Chapter 13: invitation (heero x duo)
Notes: (See the end of the chapter for notes.)
“Hey”—Duo makes a grab for the paper, but Heero keeps it out of reach—“I’m not yet done—!”
“‘Please join us for a memorial service to celebrate the life of Duo Maxwell.’” After reading what’s written, Heero scowls at him. “I told you to fucking stop this.”
“Look,” Duo spreads his hands, “war’s over, but diseases are still rampant. And, y’know, freak accidents can happen anytime—!”
“I said, stop it!”
Duo swallows. “I just… don’t want you to have to do everything by yourself when the time comes, Heero.”
Heero crushes the paper and throws his arms around Duo.
Notes: I just think it's funny in a sweet tension kinda way that heero is mister "i won't die!!!!!!!" while duo is the guy who developed a very normal relationship with death since he was negative 3
Chapter 23: camouflage (duo x wufei)
Notes: (See the end of the chapter for notes.)
“Ha!” Duo announces, breaking the silence. “Thought you could hide from me, huh?”
“That better not be black.” Wufei raises his hand, anyway, as Duo bends closer to his supine form in intense, tongue-out concentration.
Duo tuts. “Still don’t trust me?”
Wufei feels that tug on his scalp.
The evidence meets his palm so he can see the white strand for himself. “That makes three now, huh…”
“You’re getting old,” Duo snickers. Old.
Wufei smirks. Not bad for someone who’s supposed to be dead by now.
He reaches up again, but this time to bring Duo’s hand to his heart.
Notes: don't ask me why this is the first idea I came up with 😂 but also this is waking all my senses up to all the domestic dufei stories out there.........
Chapter 26: target (heero x relena)
Notes: (See the end of the chapter for notes.)
“One day,” Relena says suddenly, in that brief pause that happens between their conversations. “When it’s time for me to die again…”
Then she picks up his hand, folds half of it, and aims his pointing finger between her breasts.
“I want you to do it.”
“But…” Heero’s aim shakes at her command; he hasn’t touched the metal of a gun since peace settled. “I don’t wanna kill you… I don’t wanna kill anymore.”
“I know,” Relena utters, and smiles so softly. “But when the time comes… Heero, it will be the greatest mercy to know how I will die.”
Notes: if you've beaten ghost of tsushima, you'll know what option I chose 😂😂😂 but also I really don't think hirr is ever gonna be normal even with peace and stuff they'll always be killer x victim in my heart 😌 my freaksaffectionateship 💖
