Tears of Despair

Epilogue: Perfect

By: Liewe

Standard disclaimers apply, the only ones I own are the delightful Une brothers, and the now deceased LeFave, *g*

Midii giggled as Duo sat down, his speech still ringing in her ears. Life was perfect. She had finally defeated LeFave, and now she and Trowa had finally gotten married. Or gotten hitched as Duo had so eloquently put it.

To her left sat her father and brothers, and next to them sat Kalie and Mariemaia. Their faces were still pale from their injuries, but no longer did they look half dead. They were each well on the road to recovery.

In the crowd, sat her Uncle, she thought with a chuckle.

Quatre smiled at her, as he balanced his infant son on his knee. Catherine waved at Midii as she caught her eye, her svelte figure back in place.

“It seems we Winners have good taste,” she whispered to Trowa as Wufei stood up to begin his own little speech.

Trowa smiled as he squeezed her hand. “Of course,” he answered softly, before gently kissing her shined lips.

She leaned into his shoulder, her shattered heart healed and spilling over with love.

“We’d like to announce,” Sally began halting the moment, and grinning despite Wufei’s glare, “our own engagement.” Gently Sally tugged on Wufei’s hand, bringing him to stand beside her as she winked at Midii.

Midii chuckled, as her eyes danced with mirth as she saw the glittering ring on Sally’s hand, the pale skin contrasting against the dark bronze of Wufei’s as he held it gently.

After a moment’s hesitation, Midii squealed, throwing dignity out of the window as she all but ran to be the first to hug Sally.

“I’m so happy for you,” Midii whispered into Sally’s hair as she hugged her tightly. “You deserve happiness.”

Sally sighed, as she hugged the frail girl, and a single crystal tear fell down her cheek. Was Midii right, she wondered, as she stepped back into Wufei’s arms.

“Thank you,” Sally whispered as she pulled into another enthusiastic hug by Noin.

“Your welcome,” Midii giggled in response as Trowa pulled her into his arms.

“Dance?” he questioned softly. His warm breath nudging the platinum strands of her hair from her scarred cheek.

She nodded as he pulled her onto the marble dance floor, his arms holding her protectively as they whirled across the room.

“Thank you, for always believing in me, and for loving me,” Midii said softly. “Thank you for waiting for me…”

“I love you, with everything I am, I could never have stopped loving you, because that would have been a form of death. You are my world, my everything… but, are you happy?” Trowa asked softly, his emerald green eyes filling with love, and a hint of fear. What if she said no, what if she wasn’t happy?

“I’ve never been happier,” Midii whispered as she burrowed her face into his shoulder. “Never.”
