“Hi. It’s been awhile.”
“A whole year.”
“Yea, time sure does fly. Does…he know?”
“No. That’s seven years in a row. It’s almost enough
to make me believe that the Perfect Soldier has lost his edge.”
“Maybe it’s because he trusts you.”
“Let’s talk about something else. Does Hilde know?”
“No.”
“All right then.”
“Yeah.”
Silence.
“Do you think what we’re doing is wrong, Duo? Does it
make you feel guilty, too?”
“I don’t think what we’re doing is wrong, Relena.
After all, true love rarely comes around and you have to do what you can to
keep it. It’s just…the guilt eats me up.”
“If only-“
“Yes, if only we’d actually really known each other before we chose our
paths. If only the perception of love hadn’t been infatuation. If
only-“
“If only we’d married each other.”
“Yes. How’s your son, by the way?”
“Looking more and more like Heero every day. And yours?”
“He’s the center of my universe.”
Silence.
“I love you, Duo.”
“I love you too, Relena.”
“It’s time to go, though.”
“It seems like we just started.”
“Same time next year?”
“Of course. Same place?”
“Always.”
“Goodbye, love.”
“So long.”
