And they say women are the weak sex!
Something silly I've decided to write while I'm taking a break before writing the sequel of "Once is Enough". It may become a series with the other GW pairings. I don't know just yet (one has her job, relationship and family/friends to take care of!)
STANDARD DISCLAIMER APPLIES.
1. Heero against the almighty PMS:
Heero arrived home after a very dangerous mission. He had defeated an entire gang of nasty horrible people that were threatening the peaceful world that his new wife had worked so much to achieve.
"Honey, I'm home!" said cheerfully, well, as cheerful as Heero can get. The anger management sessions where paying off and he was becoming more, lacking of another more appropriate word, sociable.
Not getting a reply he started getting worried. He fled to the living room. Empty. Then to the kitchen. Empty. Then he ran upstairs. All rooms empty. Even the bathrooms. The only possibility left was the garden. Heero went there. Relena was there, sitting on the floor next to a plant.
At first there were no signs of something going wrong. Then he heard some sniffing and sobbing: Relena was crying.
"Baby…hey…What's up?" Heero asked his wife kneeling next to her and putting an arm around her shoulders.
"It's dead…" Relena replied with a small voice.
"What? What is dead?" asked a very worried Heero.
"The plant…" Relena said.
"What?!" Heero said not sure he had heard right.
"The plant! The PLANT IS DEAD!!!" the dark blonde young woman screamed, then, she got up suddenly, making Heero fall on his bum in the process. She just stood there with her eyes full of tears pointing with her finger the poor dead plant.
"Ah. Ok…" started saying Heero getting up from the floor.
"OK? What on earth is ok, uh?" said Relena looking at her husband accusingly. "Have you no feelings? The poor thing is dead and you only manage to say 'Ah, Ok…' Oh, Heero, sometimes…" Relena just sighted and started crying some more.
Heero was incredibly confused. What on earth was all of this about? What had he done wrong? This morning when he left Relena was fine…now she was a nervous wreck. Heero didn't know what to say nor do.
Then Relena turned around and ran to the kitchen.
Heero followed her.
When he arrived to the kitchen he saw Relena getting something out of the oven.
"OH NO!!! I COMPLETELY FORGOT!" she screamed again.
"What?" Heero asked carefully.
"I COMPLETELY BURNED THE LASAGNE, I AM A FAILURE AS A WIFE, AS A WOMAN AND AS A PERSON!!" she screamed again dropping the tray on a wooden board on the kitchen worktop. Then she started crying again.
Heero was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He had never felt so impotent in his life: what the heck was wrong with Relena tonight?
"Darling, it actually looks ok to me…" said Heero grabbing a fork and trying a bit of the burnt lasagne, "…it's a bit burned on the top but the rest is fine…look…sweetie, I am eating it…it's fine…"
"You're only saying this because you don't want to upset me," said Relena getting even sadder.
"No…look Relena, I don't know what's wrong with you, but I'm sure if you tell me I will be able to help you," Heero said while eating some more of the lasagne, he was actually quite hungry and the lasagne was not too bad…again, because of his days as a professional soldier, he was used to eating very weird things so his opinion didn't really count…
Then, the unthinkable happened: Relena Darlian-Peacecraft Yuy walked towards her husband and grabbing the tray with the lasagne, threw it out the kitchen window breaking the glass. Apparently this got her even more upset and started shouting and throwing things all over the place.
'Oh my gosh, thank goodness she is supposed to be a pacifist!' Heero thought while taking cover underneath one of the tables. After a few minutes, the mayhem stopped and he heard her crying again.
Not seeing any other option he came out from the table took one injection from his briefcase and gave Relena some sedatives. She quickly fell sleep. He then called the hospital and asked to speak to a doctor.
"Hello, I am doctor McKenzie, how can I help you?" a male voice replied.
"Hello, I am Heero Yuy, look, tonight when I came back from work I found my wife crying over a dead plant, then she shouted at me, she never does that, then she went to the kitchen and started crying again because she had burnt our dinner and just know she has been throwing things all over the place in the kitchen…I am beginning to get scared you know…Could you send an ambulance here, please?" said Heero trying to calm down as much as he could.
"Mr Yuy, Is your wife pregnant?" asked the doctor.
"No. I don't think so…She had her last period just over two weeks ago…" replied Heero not understanding what it had to do with anything.
"AH! Ok…then it's normal…" said the doctor shocking Heero.
"How exactly is this supposed to be normal? I'm sorry doc but, I don't see any normality about my wife screaming, shouting at me, crying for nothing at all and creating sheer chaos in the kitchen," said Heero trying to sound as alarmed as he could.
"Yes I see. But your wife is affected by a very normal, common syndrome. It is called the premenstrual syndrome. It is a minor psychological condition caused by the erratic hormonal levels," explained the doctor like if he was talking about the most normal thing.
"Do you know about this? Have you warned the authorities?" asked Heero feeling really freaked out.
"Everybody knows about this… it is quite common, you know…"replied the doctor almost laughing.
"Is there something you can do about this?" said Heero trying to ignore the doctor's humorous tone of voice.
"Yes. There are some hormonal treatments to prevent it. Why don't you call tomorrow for an appointment so we can discuss them?" proposed the doctor.
"Ok. I will. Thanks," replied Heero thinking that the world had gone mad.
"You're welcome…" replied the doctor before putting the phone down.
Heero sat on the sofa, staring at his sleeping wife, no wonder they had so much work to do! This bloody people had known about something that could cause the total destruction from the entire universe and had done nothing to prevent it?
