"If you love it, let it go, if it loves you, it will return."
Like burning eyes of animosity, he seemed to catch every single red light, on top of that he had been delayed by two trains whose engineers didn't seem to know which direction they were going in. All he needed now was a car accident or traffice jam. Knuckles clenching the wheel in frustration, Heero looked at the invitation he had haphazardly thrown onto the passenger's seat when he had got in. The invitation was for Relena's wedding.
Hello my friend we meet again
It's been a while where should
we begin…feels like forever
Within my heart are memories
Of perfect love that you gave to me
I remember
How long had it been since he had seen her face to face? Heero didn't even want to begin to count the years, yet there she was, a picture perfect image in his mind's eye.
The light turned green and he sped off on his way. Funny, how the old Heero, "The Perfect Soldier" from the wars, wouldn't have been so easily infuriated by traffic lights and the like. He especially wouldn't have been sitting there waiting for the damned light to turn green when all of the lights seemed to be working against him, knowing full well that by doing so he was only causing himself to be even more late. But that's what she had done for him.
Relena had helped Heero esccape the killing machine he had been raised to be. So many times she had stopped him from taking a life. Though it had meant nothing to him at the time, she showed him what it could have meant if only he just give a damn for once. She had given him a life just through simple acts of kindness. He may have saved her life a couple of times before, but Heero had never really lived until he met Relena.
When you are with me
I'm free…I'm careless…I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice
An angel on Earth, the saviour he discovered all too late - whatever, Heero didn't buy into cliches. Relena was just a girl.
He snorted in spite of himself at the thought. Just a girl . . . just the girl that had single-handedly reunited the Earth and the colonies into peace . . . just the girl he had fought for and would have died for . . . just the girl he lov-
Heero's cellphone rang, cutting off his thoughts. "Hello, Duo, " he answered, knowing innately only his bestfriend could have such timing.
"Where the hell are you, man? The ceremony's already started!"
"On my way."
"You've been on your way for the past hour! If you don't get here soon - you'll be too late to stop this whole thing!"
"I told you already, Duo. I'm not coming to ruin Relena's wedding."
We've seen our share of ups and downs
Oh how quickly life can turn around in
an instant
It feels so good to reunite
Within yourself and within your mind
Let's find peace there
"You know, that 'she's too good for me, I can only be her protector' routine got old a long time ago. Just get your ass down here so you can crash this wedding!"
Heero had already hung up before the entirety of the last sentence had been said. The guy was insane. He couldn't just walk in after so long and crash Relena's wedding. During the wars they had been close but since then they had hardly seen each other. It wouldn't be right for him to do something like that.
Besides, she had found someone she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, and that in itself was something special. Not to mention, she had found this someone in between all her duties as the Vice-Foreign Minister. He knew, a day didn't go by where she wasn't on one of the news stations because of some negotiation or another. He couldn't destroy her one chance at true happiness. She deserved this more that anyone else. This was her day to truly just be happy, and even though Heero wasn't necessarily happy himself; he would be happy for her. She had made enough sacrifices for him - it was time he did the same for her. Even if that meant giving up his own chance at happiness.
When you are with me
I'm free…I'm careless…I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice
Finally he arrived at the church. Renoucing any form of conventional parking, Heero just stopped the car and got out, then headed for the doors.The rain was pouring down like chunks of lead pounding him harder and harder. He hesitated. What if Relena had only sent the invitation to him as a gesture or what if she thought he would just rip it up like so many before? No. She wasn't like that. He reasoned with a shake of his head. He took another step but then stopped again. Now, he was questioning himself. What would he do when he saw her? It was a decent question and one that unfortunately he didn't have an answer for. It didn't matter. This wasn't about him, or was it?
He was drenched and procrastinating, he realized. Walk in, sit down. He told himself. Walk in, sit down. He ascended the small flight of stairs and then froze at the doors. He couldn't. He couldn't just walk in and sit down. The discovery was so blatanly clear and yet so simplistically right despite his best efforts to avoid all thoughts on the subject. He couldn't not do anything. He wouldn't.
He entered the church.
With the door ajar and the rainstorm raging outside, everyone's attention was drawn to Heero. As Relena turned, a smile erupted on her face as she realized who it was.
I just want to say hello again
The end.
