[Dec 23][Gundam Wing] Sleeping Beauty
Title: Sleeping Beauty
Day/Theme: December 23 / What's the use of feet?
Series: Gundam Wing
Character/Pairing: Heero/Relena
Notes: Now that I think about it, this drabble is vague enough to apply to many fandoms... so if you like, put in the characters of your choice... (this is also part 1 of a secret santa gift for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mellie the 2nd part is at my journal and will be posted here for tomorrow's theme)
The early morning light is grey as he wakes at her bedside. He is not as young as he once was and his back complains about his habit of dozing in the chair. His fingers are still entwined with hers, though. They are the only body part that matters, right now. Perhaps his eyes as well, so he can always look upon her sleeping face, so that he will be able to see the blue of her eyes when they open, if they open.
He has been sitting by her side for a long time, but she has been asleep for much longer. What’s the use of feet, when his can only take him away from her? What’s the use of feet, when she has a found a way to leave him without hers? What’s the use of feet, when she has gone somewhere he can’t chase after her?
He cannot die while she still breathes; he cannot live while she still sleeps. Her state of limbo is the only thing he can share with her now. It is like their days in the war, she was asleep then as well, until he came into her life. She told him that the same day she made him promise never to consider his life cheap again. He wants to be the one to wake her up again, because he is afraid he will break his promise if she never does.
