Breaking Heero
By: Lost-Remembrance (Red Tail)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Chapter One:
The weather was fairly nice for the new year to start as—the sun was shining and it was rather hot, nice enough to go swimming, which was exactly what a certain Heero Yuy was going to do. He loved the water—and swimming, it was in his blood as his mother had said.
So, here he was, walking down the streets of Tokyo to go to his high school, wondering what the brand new year of school would bring for him.
Over the summer, he had trained and worked out like he had always done. He had fun with his friends and, well, doing things that normal people would do. And some that other normal people wouldn't. He had worked the first week off from school hacking into databanks and making sure that all their information from his graduation files to their location from prying eyes.
He suppressed a shiver when he remembered the last time he had waited too long to cover up their tracks. Not even the WPA (1)was able to cover their tracks. Then he showed up when he found their trail. Other than that though, it had been a good summer. Plus, he had learned from his mother that they were transferring in a lot of new students to their school.
"Heero!" The teen turned upon hearing his name, long chocolate brown bangs blowing in the wind as he paused and waited for his friend to catch up.
She smiled brightly at him and he gave a small nod in return, like usual. "It's good to see you, Relena." His friend, the blue eyed goddess that had been his best friend since forever, catching up fairly easy. All of the swimmers on the team were fast and very athletic. You had to be when it came to winning, after all, their school was one of the top ranking for sports.
Some girls giggled as they walked past Heero who merely ignored them. After finding out from Relena that he was "beautiful" in the eyes of his schoolmates, both guys and girls, he simply chose to ignore them and act as though everything was normal.
Relena looked at the girls with raised eyebrows and some blushed at her as well. Over in their part of the town, even if it was rich and fancy, people didn't care about if a girl went out with a girl or a boy a boy, what only mattered was who went out with whom. Drawing her mind away from the subject, she ignored a group of boys heading to their own school staring at the two of them and decided to change the subject. "How's life holding up for you?"
Heero shrugged, "Fine. And you?" Life was usually the same as always for him, nothing really changing.
Relena scowled at the question and Heero raised an eyebrow, "My brother's going to attend here as well as his friends. Seems that the old school wasn't good enough for them." She glanced at Heero, "Don't let them bother you."
"Hn." Relena stared at him and sighed, she had done her best to keep Milliardo away from Heero since her brother and his horny friends always seemed to be after Heero.
Despite was others may think, Heero was still innocent. He was still a virgin, still had never had his first kiss, and had never had a boyfriend or girlfriend. Relena sighed longingly inwardly when she wished she could be that lucky girl. However, she would rather have their friendship than a relationship.
"Something wrong?" Heero questioned, glancing at his friend.
Relena tossed some of her golden hair back behind her shoulder, "What?" She laughed, "Other than Milliardo? No, not really. Swim tryouts are today. We don't even have to try out, but the meet's gonna be interesting."
"I'm not going to be captain." Heero scowled when he remembered Hilde pushing and prodding at him to be it, but he held steadfast.
"Why?" Relena pouted, "You'd make such a good captain."
"Mom wouldn't like it."
Relena laughed lightly, "Right. I forgot you can't do anything really without consent from your mom." Heero's eyes darkened. Relena placed a hand lightly on his shoulder, "I'm sorry."
"Don't bother." He replied, "I don't need your pity. If that bastard ever tries to come around and hurt her again, I'll be ready this time."
Relena winced when she remembered the news that Heero's ex-father had managed to find them and Heero had ended up in the hospital. The long scar still was on his back, following his spinal cord, a thin white line. It was the only thing marring his godly beauty.
"He won't find you again." She shifted the strap to her backpack as they continued on their way to school, almost reaching the school gates. 'If he does, Heero…I have a feeling that he'll want to hurt you instead and take you away from us.'
Sighing, she continued walking towards the school's gates.

Heero leaned into his chair, crossed his arms in his typical manner and closed his eyes to drown out the sounds of the rather pompous teacher. The person next to him, Duo, was constantly talking to him every minute that he got. It made Heero wonder how much a person could actually talk within a day, or if the braided boy had been a record holder for that slot.
It wouldn't surprise him.
However, what did surprise him was the fact that the boy was actually a boy. When he first stepped into the room with Relena and Dorothy by his side, he had seen a new girl wearing a boy's uniform, which wasn't really out of the ordinary. Some girls didn't like the skirt and all. So, girls were surrounding the new girl with a braid, chatting merrily like they were long lost friends. Noin, an upper class man—er, woman who was also on the swim team, and Hilde flagged him down, dragging him, Dorothy, and Relena over to the new student.
"Hi!" The voice was happy—and Heero realized that the girl that was supposed to be wearing a boy uniform was actually a boy wearing a boy uniform. Relena snickered, probably the only one being able to see the shock nestled in his prussian eyes.
It seemed that Duo was also momentarily shocked, before cracking an ear-to-ear grin at him also.
And Heero's ever so smooth remark of, "Hn." Which also meant, "you're a guy?", earned him a cuff on the head from Relena Duo just gave a cute confused expression, not following the two at all.
"Yuy?" The teacher questioned, crossing his arms and looking down the bridge of his nose, through his wire glasses, and onto the mop of chocolate brown hair. Heero raised his head in an uncaring manner, looking at the teacher.
The teacher stood there, looking at Heero, who simply tilted his head back down, closing his eyes once more. He heard Relena sigh and he rolled his eyes mentally when he heard some girls swoon. "The formula is 'negative b plus or minus the square-root of b squared minus four ac, all over two a.' A is 20, b is 40, and c is 15."
The teacher flushed, spun on his heel and returned to the chalkboard. Duo sniggered and Heero sighed, opening his eyes and looking out the nearby window with a forlorn look on his face, and at the same time getting a look from Duo that he happened to miss.

The bell freeing them, and letting them enter the break they had between every three classes, rang throughout the school and halls. The scratches and squeaks of the chair legs being pushed back filled the classroom, people leaving to go and socialize.
Noin leaned sat on top of Heero's desk while he sat on the chair. "So…" She drawled out, "Have you seen Zechs?"
"No." Heero replied shortly and simply.
She titled her head, "Really?" She frowned, looking towards Relena. "That's odd…"
"Relena says to stay away from him." Noin frowned, "I know you like him and all, so don't take it personally when I say this—don't start a cat fight with Relena and get me stuck in between, everyone has their own personal opinions."
"Well, aren't we speaking more words than a normal day today, eh Heero?" Noin laughed and clapped Heero on the shoulder merrily.
"Hey!" Duo came bouncing up to the two of them. "I never did get your name!" He chirruped happily. Some of the girl's narrowed their eyes at his behavior, but Heero shot a warning glare at them. They instantly smiled at him, waving happily.
"It's Heero Yuy." He replied, turning back to look out the window.
Hilde, always happening to choose the opportune time, ran up to the group, smiling at Duo and easily hiding the blush forming on her face when he smiled back at her. "So, are you still gonna join the swim team, Duo? Tryouts are after school!"
"Sure! Me and water go together like fire and gasoline.
"Uh…Duo?" Noin questioned with a raised eyebrow. "Isn't that bad?"
Duo nodded, looking proud of himself, "Exactly!" Hilde and the other two of them burst out laughing at the nonsense of what he said.
"Hey, Heero…you should really be swim cap…"
"No." He stood up and brushed past the three of them, walking out the door. Eyes trailed after him, watching with worry as the door slowly slid shut, the room hushed.
"What's his problem?" Noin questioned with a worried look in her eyes, having heard of Heero's family "problems" from Zechs who overheard them from Relena.
Speaking of Zechs…Noin looked up, jumping off the desk, "I have to go and find someone, see you at the swim tryouts!" And with a wave of farewell, she smiled and made her way to the door also.
"Did I miss something?" Duo questioned, looking at Hilde who sighed with a smile on her face and shook her head in exasperation.
"No…" She let out a small chuckle and looked over at him, "Don't worry about it—you'll only get confused in the end like we all are."
Heero skipped the rest of classes that day.

"Heero," Relena began, "Why didn't you show up for class?" She questioned, her bathing suit already on.
Heero didn't reply, choosing to remain silent.
She sat down gracefully, and slowly, next to Heero who sat on the edge of the pool, legs dangling in the water and black swim trunks on that went down to about his kneecaps. His hair was tousled, blow drying in the light breeze. The sun seemed to make his skin glow, as well as Relena's which still held a tanner color than the many of the other girls on the team. Most used a lot of sunscreen to keep their natural pale color.
Heero remained silent, not answering her questions once more and simply staring off over the school's area, distant and blank.
"Heero?" She questioned once more after a moment of silence, a little more hesitant this time around. She could hear the girl's changing in the locker room, the new people trying out getting show around, as well as the boy's. Currently, they had the pool all to themselves. She figured that Heero had been here doing laps during class.
"Have you ever wondered what it's like to die, Lena?" Heero questioned, eyes moving slowly to the water. She seemed to hold her breath at his words and he continued on, "To just…slip into the water and never breathe, never sink…just float in water forever." He stared at the gleaming water, winking with the sun glistening on it's surface. "Or to fall asleep and never wake up?"
"Heero." Relena sternly said, gripping his shoulder tightly. She stared into his eyes for a while, letting the silence not suffocate them, but bring Heero back from the dark places in his mind where he was stuck. "Remember, you can always cry on my shoulder and I yours." He stared at her for a moment, processing her words and then turned away, muttering a small "hn" that meant yes.
A shadowed figure near the boy's locker room stared at the two of them before going back in silently to where the rest of the possible new members would be.
"So…what's going on with your mom?" Relena questioned, hoping the change the subject to a lighter topic.
Heero got to his feet, grabbing a towel to rub though his hair, making him look kawaii as the water still holding it down splashed off him. "She's dating someone new now." His words made Relena's smile falter. Heero's mother hadn't dated since she had broken up with Heero's father. "Someone named Odin Lowe." He muttered.
"Heero…" Relena began, before stopping, knowing it was an already tender subject.
