Word Count: 233
Summary: Heero and Relena are tired of hiding.
JN: This is part one of my groveling series... I wasn't able to participate in the Knight Challenge onBlissful Ignorancelike I wanted to, so for the rest of this week, (Saturday included), I'm submitting a drabble a day of HxR in order to "redeem" myself. :)

Still watching him in the mirror, she asked, "Are you sure?"
He merely turned back to watching the rainy window.
"Heero, when we arrive together-"

She nodded. The only reason their relationship had been secret was because of his request.
"I just wanted to be sure that you know what you're getting into. You won't have a lead private life anymore…"
He nodded and brought his forehead to rest on hers. "If I'm going to marry you, then I have to make some sacrifices."
She closed her eyes and shivered at his proximity.
Then registering what he said, her eyes flashed open, "What?"
He smiled at her as he slipped the band on her finger. - An action that was rewarded with a lasting kiss from his fiancé.
