Quatre rested his forehead against the clear substance of the viewing portal in the Peacemillion lounge. He was so tired. This last battle was bad - the mobile dolls had a new strategic system that could well destroy them all. He had to come up with a counter strategy. The really hard part would be to get Wufei to listen to him.
Trowa came up behind him. He just stood there for a long minute and Quatre closed his eyes, drawing strength from the quiet presence.
"I'm having doubts," Quatre sighed.
"I can tell." Trowa nodded, "we all heard Zechs' order - cut off the head and the rest will fall." His hand reached out to rest on Quatre's shoulder. "That won't happen. I won't let it happen." He looked out at the stars. "I used to look out a window like this and think how very empty space was. As empty as I was."
Look at the sky tell me what do you see
Just close your eyes and describe it to me
The heavens are sparkling with starlight tonight
That's what I see through your eyes.
"Something happened. I don't - I don't feel empty any more."
"After Wing Zero," Quatre said quietly, "I've been empty."
"Don't say that." Trowa shook his head. "You were lost. Everyone gets lost, you've found yourself now. Just like I did this afternoon in Wing Zero."
He turned. "Trowa. . . ."
Trowa's lips twitched quietly and Quatre's smile answered tentatively.
I see the heavens each time that you smile
I hear your heartbeat just go on for miles
And suddenly I know why life is worthwhile
That's what I see through your eyes.
Here in the night I see the sun
Here in the dark our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands
We can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes
Quatre turned back to the view of the stars. "They're really very beautiful, you know."
Trowa nodded and stepped closer. "A group of scientists did a study of all the visible light from all the visible galaxies. Do you know what the most common color of light was?"
"What?" Quatre looked into the eyes of the reflection behind him.
"A bright blue-green. The color of your eyes."
"Really?"
"Really."
I look at myself and instead I see us
Wherever I am now it feel like enough
And I see a [heart that] is learning to trust
That's [what] I see through your eyes
.
Here in the night I see the sun
Here in the dark our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands
We can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes
"We'll survive this, Quatre, I'm sure of it. We want to survive."
"You're right, Trowa."
Here in the night I see the sun
Here in the dark our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands
We can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes
