Those Aqua Eyes Never Changed.
Chapter One
=============Heero============
Groaning in disapproval, the alarm clock awoke him unpleasantly. With a glare that could literally kill, he reached out from under the warmth of his comforter and gripped the alarm clock and ripped it from the nightstand. Sitting up with a low growl, the alarm clock was hurled across the room successfully crashing to pieces at the nearest wall.
Irritated about being awaken but pleased with the quiet he flopped back down to the comfort of his nice big fluffy pillow. Shutting his eyes he drifted quickly back to a dead slumber that he had been missing for over 48 hours. Now that he was in bed and asleep, he wasn't getting out of bed yet even if he killed someone.
And, as if another man heard his cue, a loud cheerful man strolled into the man's room with a loud bang as the door hit the wall. With his long brown braid hanging carefully out of the other man's reach he shouted, full of energy, "RISE and SHINE my Little Heero!"
With a scowl, Heero thought evilly to himself 'and Duo will be that person who will just have to die before I leave this bed.'
Reaching under his pillow and grabbing his pistol, Heero sat up and aimed for the braided idiot. Duo smiled sheepishly and back away, hands in the air. "Oh, hehe, Come on buddy! There's no need for you pull out THAT."
With the click of the gun loading, Duo vanished out the door shouting over his shoulder, "I guess you can have a little more beauty sleep Heero Dear!"
With the satisfying sound of the front door to his apartment shutting, Heero flopped down again and fell quickly into sleep, gun still in hand.
But, not a second later Duo came back into his room just as loud as before, maybe louder, with a bucket full of iced water and dumped it on Heero's head and quickly ran away while laughing, "Time's up!"
To the rest of the innocent people in the building in which Heero lived, all that could be heard at the horrible hour of 5:30am was a low yell of rage followed by, "DUO YOU SON OF A BITCH! GET YOU BRAIDED ASS BACK HERE SO I CAN KILL YOU!"
"OH, NO, NO, NO, NO BUDDY Ol' BOY! SLEEPING BEAUTY HAS TO GET HER PRETTY ASS OUT OF BED TO KICK MY ASS!"
With a loud bang and thuds followed by breaking glass and yelps, the cries of the braided man ran into the earlier morning.
"NO! STOP! STOP! STOOOOOOP! OUCH, THAT HURTS, NOT THE HAIR! LEAVE THE BRAID ALONE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THOSE SICCORS! HEY, HEY, HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING! DON'T COME ONE STEP CLOSER! AHHHHHH! WHAT TH________AHHHHHHHHHH! STOP IT, STOP, OUCH, THAT HURTS, OUCH, OW, FOR YOUR INFORMATION! MY HAIR IS CONNETed TO MY HEAD YOU CAN'T JUST PULL IT OFF! HEY!"
==========Duo==========
Finally with a high-pitched yelp manly scream, Duo walking back into the hallway with wide eyes and bruises covering his body, while holding on to his braid for dear life.
Looking over at the ever so silent Trowa, he just shook his head, "Do you know what he was trying to DO?"
Trowa just grinned and quietly and logically said, "Cut your braid off."
"NOT ONLY THAT! HE HAD------HE TRIED TO DISCONNET MY WHOLE HEAD!"
With no expression at all Trowa calmly said. "Maybe you should have let him. Maybe you would shut up for once and save us all some trouble."
With a shock of disbelief he just glanced from the door to Trowa over and over until he came to an conclusion. Pointing at the door he eyes Trowa suspiciously, "You sent me in there on purpose didn't you. You knew he acts like a deranged lunatic in the morning."
Turning towards the elevators down the hall Trowa called from over his shoulder, "I'm not stupid enough to wake that 'lunatic' up let alone at 5:30. And. I am smart enough not to dump a bucket of ice water on his head either. Now, that was just suicidal."
Jogging up to him Duo laughed, "Yeah that was pretty stupid. Did you know that Relena used to wake him up in the mornings when she was the Vice Foreign Minister? Haha, She is the only princess I know to get to Heero so much that he doesn't strangle her just for leaning close enough to whisper 'good morning' in his ear."
Silence stretched on for what seemed like an entirety until Trowa finally spoke up. "She was the ONLY person that got to him enough not to be in danger with Heero."
"Yep. That all changed what____3 years ago? When she resigned from her post and disappeared from the world.
It's really a shame that she couldn't stay to be his wake up call. She is the only one that would come out untouched…well depending on their relationship. There's got to be SOME touching."
Trowa seemed to be talking to himself more than to Duo, "I don't think her leaving had anything to with Heero or with us. I think she just", pausing to think it over, "got sick of it all and got out when her term was over. She decided not to fight for a 2nd term."
As the elevator reached the bottom floor of the building to the lobby the silenced stretched out. The subject of Relena was touchy. It wasn't that people were ashamed of her decision they just didn't know what was going on. 3 years ago she just said 'good bye' and left. Not one person has heard from her since. Heero searched for her for a good year and a half. At times they got close. They found out where she went and which way she was headed but once they entered space all the clues stopped there.
After that everyone just gave up physically but mentally they kept thinking and searching. Where was she going? What is it that she wants to do? All these questions were never answered. The question at the top of list right now will always be 'are you even still alive, Relena?' But, nobody ever really talked about it well not around Heero. Even though he won't admit it he is still looking for any sign of her. But, nobody can tell him to give up that's she is gone because we haven't stopped searched really either.
Before they reached the car outside the building Duo mumbled, "I wonder what she's like now. I wonder what normal human Relena is like." With a long pause and a glance at the sky, "I wonder if she is even out there to be looked for."
There was no answer or reply to Duo, only because he didn't know either.
