Shi-chan: This should be interesting...
Duo: I guess I don't want to know, do I?
Shi-chan: This is my first shot from Relena's point of view...heheheh...
Duo: Good does that mean I'm not in this one? I mean I know my fans are raving, but being in every fic is getting a little tedious...
Shi-chan: Sure, take an hour or so off. Then I do another chapter of "Death Becomes Him." Heheheheh.
Duo: ......

Be A Man

I guess I just can't stay away from the songfics...warning, shounen-ai, and some other stuff...Relena's POV.


//The world is quiet, like there's no one around
But I feel you beside me//

Relena lay quietly by his side, watching him sleep peacefully, his lovely blue eyes shut tight as he smiled at beautiful dreams.
"You never smiled for me," Relena said quietly. "Why didn't you ever smile for me?"
The brown-haired boy shifted uneasily, long fingers tucked beneath his head.

//I know the secrets you keep locked away inside
Don't understand why you're fighting//

"Who is it?" she asked the sleeping form, a lump rising in her throat. "We were meant for each other."

//She must be special
This new girl by your side//

Tears formed in Relena's eyes. "Why?"

//I seek the answers when I look into your eyes
And it hurts like hell but I will be strong//

The blonde girl lay her head back down on her pillow and sighed.

//For once in your life
Be a man
Just tell me the words 'cause I know that you can
Don't leave me with scars that no one can heal
For once in your life
Be a man//

She dreamed.
**"The first time we met, my love..."**
"It's so...cruel..."
He wiped a tear from her cheek with his fingers.
"I'll kill you."

//You made me love you love you right from the start
No control in my heart babe
Don't pack your bags yet give me time to say goodbye (say goodbye)
Just don't leave me wounded no//

His colbalt eyes gazed deep into her soul as he shifted his duffel bag to his other shoulder. "I'm sorry. It's not going to work out."
"I don't understand."
"I don't expect you to. You can't understand." He cast his gaze at the ground and turned his back on her.
Relena threw herself at him. "Please! Don't leave me!"
He grunted and held her upright. "There are things I have to do. I'm sorry for causing you pain."

//I just hope you will regret the things you do
Come back to me cause our love is the real thing
//

He turned away.
"Nooooo!"

//And it hurts like hell but I will be strong//

"Please..."

//For once in your life
Be a man
Just tell me the words 'cause I know that you can
Don't leave me with scars that no one can heal
For once in your life
Be a man//

She stood alone in the apartment, looking at their rumpled bedclothes, the gifts she had bought for him; thrown in a heap as though to mock her with their existence.
"You can't. I love you..."

//I knew that I (I)
I fought to keep our love strong//

"Don't you love me?"

//If you leave me now (now)
You'll come running back for more babe//

Silence.

//And I hope for
And I wish for//

"This can't be..."

//And I pray that the words from your mouth can eventually make you a man//

*ring*
"Hello...this is Relana..."
Pause. "Relena."
"I miss you so much...I just wanted to hear your voice..."
Pause. "Hn."
"Don't you think you're making a mistake? We were meant to be!"
Silence.

//For once in your life be a man//


She heard a giggle in the background. "Who are ya talking to? Tellll meeee!"

//When everything stops _________//

"Who's that?"

//For a minute in your life//

"Relena, I have to go now. I'm sorry."

//I'll hope that//

"It can't be...you left me...for him?"

//For once in your life be a man (be a man)
Just tell me the words 'cause I know that you can
Don't leave with scars that no one can heal
For once in your life
Be a man//

Relena wondered where she had went wrong. "We were meant for each other...I never imagined..."

//Be a man//


"Don't you love me?"

//Tell me the words//

Silence.

//(For once in your life) Be a man//

"Oh, Heero...you never smiled for me...how can you smile for him?"

//Tell me the words//


"Why didn't you smile for me?"
