Title: Untitled (for now)
Heero sat twisting his napkin in his lap, in a very luxurious restaurant. Nervousness ate at his body as he tried to wait for the right moment to say what he needed to. He gazed across the table at his girlfriend, who was enjoying the fine wine and rich foods. This particular establishment was one of her favorites, which is why he brought her here. There was something of the outmost extreme importance of which he had to tell her.
Relena glanced about the restaurant while nibbling on her plate of food. She smiled, and was slightly inebriated from many tumblers of her favorite wine. Giddy, she was feeling very giddy. Heero seemed anxious and it was fairly close to their five-year anniversary, so she thought she knew the reason for his anxiety.
In his agitated stated, Heero knocked his fork off the table. Getting up, he dropped to one knee to retrieve it.
"Yes! Yes!" Cried the Vice Foreign Minister.
He looked up at her in surprise. "Yes, what?" He asked.
"Yes, I will marry you!" She cheered.
Bewildered, Heero just stared, mouth open at Relena. "...uhhhh..." Was the most intelligible sound he could make.
Relena's face fell. "Oh, you're not proposing, are you?"
Suddenly, it dawned on Heero what it must look like he was doing. Quickly gathering his fallen utensil, he sat himself back in his chair. "No, I was not," he replied.
Relena's alcoholic buzz was swaying her emotions rapidly. She swung from happy to sad to confused. "Why did you bring me here tonight, then?" She questioned.
Heero swallowed hard and summoned all his courage. "There's something I wanted to tell you," he told.
Relena's forehead creased. "And that is..."
"I want to end our relationship," Heero stated matter of factly, looking her dead in the eye.
Her throat constricted, heart plummeted to the pit of her stomach, as her brain told her "this isn't happening". Taking a few deep breaths, her blue eyes grazed over the bustling restaurant.
Her eyes filled with tears. "You brought me here so I wouldn't make a scene," she whispered. A few tears fell along the curves of her cheeks, but she brushed them off swiftly.
Heero nodded, guiltily. "Relena, I'm real-"
"Why are you doing this?" She interjected. She continued before he could answer. "We've been together for almost five years! We're happy together, aren't we? I mean, I know we both work a lot, and maybe we don't spend as much time together as we should, but...but this doesn't make sense. Did I do something wrong? Is there someone else?" Her voiced pitched and lowered as she tried to keep her emotions in check. The last thing she needed was to be on the cover of the morning papers for having an outburst in a popular restaurant.
Her trembling increased as she waited for an answer, breathing in and out through her mouth to keep herself from crying. Heero looked pained, eyebrows pinched together with a deep frown on his lips, telling her that this wasn't easy for him.
"Whatever it is, we can work through it. We can fix it, and go back to being us. We can -"
"Relena, stop," Heero pleaded. "There's nothing to fix, and you're right, we haven't been spending a lot of time together, but that's not it. I'm not happy in this relationship anymore, and..." He twisted and ripped the clothe napkin in his lap. Looking her square in the eye he confessed, "And there is someone else."
Relena took in a huge breath and couldn't release it. Pulling her own napkin to her face, she allowed some tears to fall.
"Look Relena, this isn't your fault, and I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen, it just did -"
She interrupted again, "Who? Who is it?"
"That's not important -"
"I think I have a right to know who you've cheated on me with," she said hotly.
"I haven't cheated on you," Heero defended.
Relena rolled her eyes. "Oh really, so you haven't even kissed this person?" Her voice was rising, no longer caring about her surroundings.
"Alright, yes I've kiss h-" a whimper escaped Relena's throat. "That's all we've done, I swear."
Relena took a large gulp from her wine glass, and brought her other hand up to cover her eyes. "Just tell me who it is, Heero."
When he didn't say anything she began guessing. "Is it Dorothy? Are you leaving me for my best friend?"
"No! It's not Doro-"
"My secretary? Alicia? It's her isn't it? I'm going to fire -"
"It's not Alicia eith-"
"One of my maids then? Selena? Amy? Victoria?"
"No, no, no, it's - "
"Just tell me dammit!" Relena growled, glaring at the man sitting across from her who was in the process of breaking her heart.
"Duo," Heero supplied.
The stem of the wine glass snapped in her fist, spilling its contents over the tablecloth. "DUO?!" She screamed. The restaurant fell silent as many pairs of eyes looked towards them. The couple looked down at their table and waited for the audience they attained to go back to their own meals and conversations.
Relena pulled out a hundred-dollar bill from her purse, set it on the table and rose to leave.
"Where are you going?" Heero asked quietly.
"Leaving," she stated and made for the exit.
"I have the car keys," Heero mumbled under his breath as he stood and followed her out the door.
Heero caught up with Relena as she was approaching her car. Turning on her heel, she spied the keys in Heero's hand. "Give me the keys," she ordered.
"No, you're upset and you've had way too much to drink," Heero protested.
She slapped him, hard. In his shock of being struck by such a nonviolent person, he dropped the keys. Relena retrieved them, jumped into the driver's seat and started the car. Heero hopped into the passenger's seat just as she pulled the car in reverse.
On the road, her driving was erratic. She swayed into other lanes while breaking the speed limit.
"Relena, please pull over and let me drive," Heero begged.
"Fuck you!" She shouted. "I can't believe you're doing this to me! With, with Duo fucking Maxwell! I want you out of my house!"
"Okay, the guys are there moving my stuff right now, so I'll be gone -"
"Oh, so he's there too!" She stomped on the break, taking a turn too fast and nearly side swiping another vehicle. "What happened to Hilde?" She asked as she picked up speed again.
Heero had both hands on the dashboard, trying not be slammed back and forth through the car. "That was three years ago, you kn-"
"So what? You two just woke up one morning gay for each other?" She screeched.
Heero glared out the front windshield. "It's not like that Relena, please, just listen to me!"
"No! I don't want to hear anything you have to say!"
They pulled up to her estate. Driving up the long driveway, Relena saw Duo and Quatre loading a red pick up truck with boxes. She came to a screeching halt next to the pick up, and sprung from her car. Heero quickly followed her, glad to have made it back in one piece.
Relena walked swiftly and angrily towards Duo. Her eyes glowing with rage, her mouth twisted in an unpleasant snarl.
Watching the angry woman stalk to him, Duo raised both hands defensively and took a few steps back. "Relena," he said apologetically.
She slapped him across the cheek and continued to pound her fists into his chest. Duo just held her shoulders, letting her wear herself out since she wasn't really hurting him, and a guilty side of him told him, he deserved it. "You can't take him from me!" She screamed.
"Relena I'm sorry."
"Stop it!"
"He's mine you can't take him from me!"
"Relena! Calm down!"
"Relena come inside!"
"I'll fucking kill you!"
"Stop, just stop!"
The front of the Peacecraft manor became a screaming match between many people. During the arguing, the other gundam pilots, Pagan and Zechs came out in attempt to end the dispute.
Heero pulled Relena away from Duo. "Get your fucking hands off me!" She screamed.
Zechs took Relena from Heero, and glared at him. The two had never seen eye to eye, and five minutes ago he was happy their relationship was ending. Seeing Relena this distressed fueled his rage for the half Japanese man.
Passing the severely upset woman off to Pagan, Zechs ordered, "Take her inside!" Pagan dragged Relena into the estate kicking and screaming.
Zechs spun to face Heero. A fist met Heero's right cheek and sent him to the ground. Duo quickly jumped into action and punched Zechs in the mouth. "This isn't his fault!" He screamed.
Trowa lifted Duo by the waist just as the violet eyed man was sending another fist to Zech's face. Turning, Trowa received a violent punch to his left shoulder-blade and stumbled with Duo still wrapped in his strong arms.
"That's enough!" Wufei bellowed, pulling Zech back by both elbows. Heero got to his feet just as Zech's elbow connected with Wufei's nose. Blood poured from the Chinese mans nose as he crouched to the ground. Heero was about to throw his own closed fist at Zech's face when Quatre intercepted him. The blond pacifist could only stand by for so long until his own urge to fight back overwhelmed him. He planted a furious punch to Peacecrafts stomach causing the man to double over in pain.
Duo pulled himself free from Trowa's grasp and ran back to the long haired man. "Just lis-" was all he got out before he had to block a punch to his skull. Zech was still trying to stand straight when Duo slammed a punch to his jaw.
"This ends now!" Quatre asserted. "We're all going to leave, and you go take care of your sister!" He commanded.
Everyone took a step back. Zech rubbed his stomach and jaw, trying to stand straight, but the other blond had bruised something, possibly broken a rib.
"Get the fuck out of here!" He yelled to the gundam pilots, knowing he couldn't fight all five of them on his own.
Zech disappeared into the elegant house.
"We got everything," Trowa said rolling his shoulder.
"Good," Heero stated. An expression of despondency had graced his face. Everything had gone horribly wrong. He never expected a brawl to go down.
Duo reached him. "Do you still want to do this?" He asked.
"Yeah, I do," he whispered, and wrapped his arms around Duo. "I want this. I want you," he whispered.
Duo held Heero in return. "Alright, let's go home," he whispered back.
This story is untitled, because I cannot think of a proper one. If anyone has any suggestions, let me hear em. If I choose your title, I'll credit you. Also, if anyone wants a sequel/2nd chapter I'll provide it. I have a very specific idea of how where this fic can go, only thing is I don't have the motivation to do it. Yet. :)
