Warnings: Angst, ooc Don�t Cry Talk to me softly There's something in your eyes Don't hang your head in sorrow And please don't cry I know how you feel inside, I�ve I've been there before Somethin's changin' inside you And don't you know �I�m so sorry..� The words came hard to his lips, unbidden. Looking at his lover steadily, he tried to show as little emotion as possible. Black eyes went hard cold and flat as he forced back the tears that threatened to spill down his cheeks. �I don�t think I can go on sleeping with you� or being with you. What your �cause� has done is unacceptable� unjust.� Wufei could still hear the screams of the people he�d been trying to save. Packing his sword, he watched a teardrop fall quietly against the cold metal that went everywhere with him. �You could always come with me.. defect�� Looking up, he saw the answer written clearly across the nobleman�s face. No. Brushing away a few more tears, he continued to throw his things into the suitcase he�d brought with him. Don't you cry tonight I still love you baby Don't you cry tonight Don't you cry tonight There's a heaven above you baby And don't you cry tonight Warm arms wrapped around him, as white-blond hair fell across his shoulder. �I know, my love.� Zechs whispered, carefully rubbing his hands across the younger man�s chest. �I wish I could go with you.. but I can�t. I have things I have to do here.� Leading him over to the bed, he grasped Wufei�s hands carefully, as though he was afraid his love would vanish. �I�m not worth crying over.� Brushing the tears away, he felt his own eyes burn. �I love you.. I�ve loved you forever. You�re the only one who makes me feel human.� Choking up, he took a brief look at the silver mask that sat on a table across the room. �I don�t expect you to live what I�ve done� I�m not even sure I can. But I want you to do what�s right.. what�s honorable. You have enough honor for both of us. My father would have loved you.� Give me a whisper And give me a sigh Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye Don't you take it so hard now And please don't take it so bad I'll still be thinkin' of you And the times we had...baby Letting go of Zechs� hands, he pulled himself off the bed, forcing himself to finish packing. �I�ll miss you.� He whispered, shouldering his bag and walking to the doorway. Unable to meet his lover�s tear-filled eyes, he held out his arms, almost breaking down entirely when he felt his beloved hold him, kissing him tenderly. �Goodbye.� Wufei ran out the door, forcing himself to keep going after he had no energy left to run with. And don't you cry tonight Don't you cry tonight Don't you cry tonight There's a heaven above you baby And don't you cry tonight Sliding down against the wall, Zechs bit his lip, trying to force down the sobs he felt shaking his body. �Damn you Epyon, couldn�t you leave me one person to love?� Looking again at the silver mask, he slowly stood up and put it on. Safely hidden, he let the tears fall down his face, caught by the silver, they burned against his cheeks. And please remember that I never lied And please remember how I felt inside now honey You gotta make it your own way But you'll be alright now sugar You'll feel better tomorrow Come the morning light now baby �I know you may not believe me, but I would have given anything to go with you today. I didn�t lie when I told you I love you. I could never love anyone else.� Putting the pen to his lips, Zechs bit at it hard. �Please, don�t let this hurt you, I know you had to do it. I know you�re a better man than I am. I know you�ll succeed. You�ll be fine on your own.� After writing for another half hour, Zechs sealed the letter. Summoning an aide, he gave the letter to be sent to Wufei. Running his hands through his hair, he let himself dwell on might-have-beens as he stared at the only picture he had of his love. An don't you cry tonight An don't you cry tonight An don't you cry tonight There's a heaven above you baby And don't you cry Don't you ever cry Don't you cry tonight Baby maybe someday Don't you cry Don't you ever cry Don't you cry Tonight Standing in the lonely evening, Wufei silently looked at the stars. A beautiful silver mask was clutched in his hands, along with a worn piece of paper. Smoothing the paper carefully, he re-read the last words. �Don�t cry over me, I�ll always be waiting for you.� |
