Relena Peacecraft was standing
outside the door to the love of her life's sanctuary. She raised her hand to
knock on the extravagantly made door. She knocked and waited for the permission
to enter the room. All that she heard was a distant "come in".
She opened the
door and stepped into the darkened room. Heero Yuy was hunched over his laptop
typing. Relena closed the door. She put her right hand behind her, bending it
so that her fingers rested on the tool that could lock the world out of the
room. She leaned back against the door, hoping that her idea helped. She had
prepared for this 'accidental meeting' just because she was bored.
"Heero will
you play a game of cards with me?" She asked the young man about the age 18.
She hoped that he would say yes to her question.
"Why me?" He
replied, still staring at the screen of the laptop.
"Because
everyone else was busy doing something else. Duo and Hilde are doing something
at the junkyard. Catherine and Trowa are practicing for the circus. Dorothy dragged
Quatre off to shop and Wufei and Sally are at Preventers HQ."
"What game?"
"Backjack. I
would of said poker, but I don't know how. So I wanted to play something that I
understood the directions and that I was good at. Every time someone wins, the
loser has to tell something that the winner doesn't know or believes."
Heero had
turned around from the laptop at the directions he heard.
"Okay. Let's
play on the floor." He said pointing into the middle of the room. He got up
from the chair he was sitting on. He went over to the bed, sat down next to it,
and leaned against the side.
The lock was
heard turning.
Relena straightened
up to her full height. She sauntered over to Herro and sat down across from him
in Indian style.
Relena had her
hair up in a high ponytail. She had on a pair of skintight capris, a black
t-shirt that said 'I Like Boys Who Are Dangerous' in white writing, black
sandle's, and big silver hoop earrings dangling from her ears.
Heero had on
his famous green tank top, blue jeans, socks, boots, and his gun (its somewhere
on him).
Relena brought
out the deck of cards she had brought with her.
"Do you want
to be the dealer?" The innocent girl asked him.
Heero held out
his hand to receive the cards. Once he had them he started to shuffle them
until they were well shuffled.
He put one
card face up and another face down in front of Relena. Then he repeated the process
for him.
Relena picked
up the face down card. It was a 10. The face up card was a queen. She turned
the card over so that Heero could know what she had.
"I'll stay
with what I've got." She said while she stared straight into his Prussian blue
eyes.
"I win." Heero
turned over his cards to reveal a jack and an ace. He stared back into her blue
eyes.
"You, Trowa, Duo,
Quatre, Wufei, and the girls bring me happiness into my life." Relena admitted.
Heero delt out
the new cards to them. Relena got a 10 and a 9. Heero had an ace and a 5. He
decided to take another card from the deck. The card was a 6. Even if he used
the ace as a 1, he would still lose because Relena had the largest number close
to 21.
"There could never
be a relationship between you and me. I'm wrong for you." Heero said.
They were on
their third match. Relena received a 9 and a 5. Heero got a king and a jack.
"Hit me."
Relena said. She got a 2.
"Hit me
again." She got an ace. "Should I use the ace as an eleven or a one? If I use
it as a 11, then my total is over 21 and if I use it as a one, then I still
lose." She thought.
"You win." She
said as she put her cards face up on the floor.
"The meetings and
speeches bore me senseless." She said.
In the fourth match they both tied with 19.
But in the fifth match Heero won once more because Relena had gone over 21
again.
"I don't think
I'm a pacifist. Sometimes I just want to punch someone out because they're to stupid
to stop and think for a minute."
Heero put
Relena's cards in front of her and his in front of him. Relena had a 5 and a 2.
Heero had a queen and a ten.
"Hit me."
Relena said.
Heero slid a
card face down across to her. She picked the card up and it was an 8.
"Hit me."
Heero gave her
another card. The card was a 4.
"Hit me."
The new card
was a 6.
"Even though you
say were wrong for each other, were not. You just don't have the guts to try to
start a relationship with me. I love you and I'll never stop loving you, no matter
what happens." Relena said while looking into Heero's eyes for some kind of emotion
to be shown.
"Relena why'd
you want to play this game?" Heero
asked her.
She waited a
couple of seconds while she stared into his eyes searching for something.
"I wanted to
know if you were interested in me. This was an idea I came up with to find out more
about you and us, Heero. This love isn't fake, it's the real thing." She stood up
and went to stand at the window.
"Why didn't you just ask me if I had any feelings for you or more information about me?"
"I don't know.
I guess this just seemed different. Every day I have to be so careful of what I
do or say."
"Relena, I do
love you. It's going to take me time to admit that to the world." Heero got up
from where he was sitting. He made his way over to Relena and put his arms
around her waist. He rested his cheek against her cheek.
She leaned
against his strong frame and put her arms over his arms.
"That's okay.
As long as I know that you love me is all right for now. We can work up to the
big picture in steps. Ohhhhh…and just so you know I want to marry you in the
future." She said. Relena turned around in his arms. She linked her hands
around his neck as they leaned into each other for the sweet kiss.
"I love you,
Heero."
"And I love
you, my Relena."
THE END
A/N: I hoped you all like this. Just so you know I decided
on playing blackjack for each player and recorded the numbers. I think that
Heero won.
