Goodbye LJ...

[windandwater]

This is just to make it official for those who don't know, but I'm leaving LJ completely. For the rest of this week at least. Tomorrow is the Bar Exam and it runs for three days, so don't expect to see me about at all until Thursday night. Or even until the weekend since I plan on spending Thursday after the Bar drunk and crying. No online time for me at all. *whines* It will be hard, but I know I can do it.

So, because I'm a total h0r like that, I am declaring this to be a spam post. Go ahead. Run wild! Give me fics, give me links, give me pics, just babble to your heart's content and rape my inbox so I have something to see when I finally DO come back to the wonderful world of LJ. I don't even care if you write me a drabble and post it one word at a time. XD;

Though, I've tried to make a spam post before and it failed a bit miserably, so I don't have very high expectations this time around. Feel free to prove me wrong though!

Wufei nodded, and looked out over the gray-green ocean. “And will I ever return?”
Duo smiled, but Wufei could see his eyes filling up with tears. “Probably not,” he whispered. “I mean, I hope not. As long as you stay away, you’re safe.”
Wufei could find no words, at the moment, that would work past the lump in his throat, but he smiled. He took Duo’s hands in his own, and then reached up to trace the outline of the other man’s face, memorizing the texture of the skin.
Duo forestalled him, by leaning in and capturing Wufei’s lips for a last, heartbreaking kiss. It was still sad and bittersweet, as their loving had always been, but at least now there was hope at the end of it, not the promise of death or betrayal. Wufei pulled Duo into his arms, and felt Duo wrap his own about Wufei’s waist.
When the need for air became too pressing, Wufei reluctantly released Duo’s mouth, but still pressed his body close. Duo nestled his chin on Wufei’s shoulder, and whispered in his ear. “I can’t have regrets either,” he confessed, his breath stirring wisps of Wufei’s fine black hair. “Wo ai ni, Chang Wufei. I’ll carry that with me for all the years of my life and more.”
Shocked, Wufei gripped Duo by the shoulders and pushed him back far enough to stare, disbelieving, into his face. Duo smiled back, his hope and regret and love showing clearly in his eyes. “You were awake?” Wufei demanded, feeling suddenly mortally embarrassed.
Duo laughed shakily. “Yeah,” he admitted, gently reaching up to wipe some traitorous wetness off Wufei’s cheek. “Old habits. How could I sleep when you were awake?”
“You --” Wufei broke off whatever he’d been about to say, and sighed. “Then you know I love you too.”
“Yeah.” Duo looked up at the ship again. “I have to go, you know. I’m supposed to be in White Falls right now.”
“I should go as well.” Reluctantly, Wufei pulled the rest of the way out of Duo’s embrace. “Well, good luck, then.”
Duo’s mouth twisted. “I hate goodbyes,” he admitted.
“Then don’t say goodbye.” Wufei swallowed, trying to work up the courage to ask -- then plunged ahead. “Duo. Won’t you come with me? I don’t want to leave you. I know it’s a lot to ask, for you to give up your life here and your job and to --”
He broke off. Duo was shaking his head. “Does it mean so much to you?” he said in a small voice.

“Not to me.” Duo shrugged helplessly. “Believe me, there’s nothing I’d like better than to throw it all away and stay with you. But I -- but -- I can’t abandon what I do here. What about the next man like you, who falls victim to some greedy bastard with a lot of money and no morals? If I’m not there to intervene for them, then -- then nobody will.”
Wufei sighed, his shoulders sagging. “I was afraid you would say that,” he said, defeated. “Duo, you can’t keep this up forever. Sooner or later they’re going to catch you in the act, or some frustrated jail officer is going to put two and two together and realize that all these breakouts have been of your prisoners. What will you do then?”
“What else?” Duo threw his head back and actually laughed. “Visit you in exile, of course.”
“A worthy pair of outlaws,” Wufei said, deadpan.
Duo laughed, then caught his breath, and the humor died. “You know,” he began hesitantly. “There’s -- there is a chance that I might not be able to come to you.”
“All the police in Romafeller aren’t match for the Shinigami,” Wufei said fiercely, and Duo half-smiled.
“Yeah, well -- one of them might get lucky. If --”
Wufei interrupted him. “Then I will return to Oz, hunt down every last one of the dogs, and see that justice is delivered,” he said firmly, “even if I lose my own life doing so.”
“That’s how I know I love you, you know,” Duo sighed. “I didn’t even have to ask.”
