Title: Erosion
Characters: Heero Yuy
Summary: Unlearning old lessons is a slow process.
Notes: For

readerofasaph's drabble game, to the prompt "Dulce et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori." 100 words, and believe me, you're as surprised to see me writing GW as I am.

~~~~~~~~~~
Erosion

One of the very first lessons they taught Heero was how to lay his life down for his colony and his mission. In retrospect, he's sure that if he'd been cut open and inspected, it'd have been there, written in his bones and inscribed on his heart, gunmetal grey and inviolable.

He’s not entirely sure when that lesson was completely overwritten; it eroded away imperceptibly, to be replaced by other rules--other possibilities, rather. But he does know when it began: with a girl’s open smile and outstretched hand and a boy’s offer of assistance when none had been expected.

Nice. I've missed Heero. ^__^

*wry* I gotta say, I was pretty surprised to see him come wandering in.

Oh. Oh! ♥ The imagery. *flails mightily*

Love this so much, holy crap. In just two paragraphs, you speak more to Heero's character (and development) than most lengthy GW fics I've read. guh. ♥♥♥

*laughing* Thank you very much! *wry* I figure that really, as much ink as I spilled in the GW fandom lo these many years ago, it figures that I've come down to a 100 words to say what I think.

HAHAHAHA YES THIS THIS IS BRILLIANT. So much, packed into such a small amount of words.

Did you know you posted this here on my birthday? If not, well, now you know, and oh my god, it's a wonderful not-birthday present that I didn't even know was out there for me to find. \o/

*beams* Thank you very much! I was really surprised to be writing GW after so long away from it, but this one just came out too well not to share.

And, hey, happy birthday! *grins*
