"A New Love"

Chapter 1:

She finally knew the truth. She wished she hadn't seen them together in the park. That was Thursday, it was now Friday. 'At least I know why I've always had resentment towards her.' You'd think that Relena Peacecraft and Sylvia Noventa would get along like sisters with everything they have in common. That's not the case though. Sure Relena and Sylvia are both spoiled, rich, and only daughter (Relena) and only granddaughter (Sylvia) of pacifists. Relena didn't care what they had in common or how they had been told to act like in public when they were together. She wanted to strangle Sylvia, to hell with pacifism. Relena looked at the clock on her nightstand. "What a great night to have insomnia." Relena said sarcastically. "I'm single on a Friday at eleven pm and my roommate's not even here to comfort me!" Lisa, her roommate, had moved back home. Just then she remembered that Quatre and Trowa's dorm room was ten doors down from hers. "I'll see what they're doing." She dressed in jeans, tennis shoes, and a t-shirt and went to find out what Quatre and Trowa were up to.

Quatre opened the door and smiled when he saw Relena. "Come on in. Trowa Wufei, and I are about to have a movie/study night." Behind Quatre, Trowa and Wufei were arguing about something that was causing Wufei to blush.

"What's a movie/study night?" Relena asked, visibly confused at how you could do both at the same time. She was also curious what could make Wufei blush.

"Trowa and I are watching the movie while Wufei studies."

"Okay. Um…" she paused before she went into her question. "Did you guys know about Heero and Sylvia?"

Quatre and Trowa fell silent. Wufei decided to answer her. "Yes, we knew. But…one of us should've told you. You didn't deserve to find out by seeing them together. One of us should've at least warned you that something was going on."

"It's alright. I probably wouldn't have listened. I was too stuck in my fantasy to see the truth until now." Relena gave Wufei a half smile.

Wufei gave her a half smile back before he glared at Trowa and sat at the desk to study. Quatre and Trowa watched the exchange of smiles with interest. Relena stayed and watched the movie, but halfway through it, Wufei came and sat on the floor in front of the couch beside her and Relena laid her head on Wufei's shoulder as her tears started to run down her face (tears are about Heero and Sylvia, not the movie). Quatre and Trowa watched from the couch, their interest growing. They whispered to each other during the movie.

"I bet you thirty bucks they fall in love with each other." Trowa grinned. What he had said to have Wufei blushing and arguing with him was a seemingly harmless comment about how Wufei seemed to care a lot about Relena lately. Quatre had been busy answering the door so he'd missed out on the conversation.

"You're on."

Trowa grinned again. He knew he had won the bet.

Once the movie was over, Relena said her goodbyes. Wufei told Quatre and Trowa that he might be back but might not. Once they were in the hallway, Wufei asked Relena if she'd like to go for a walk.

"That sounds nice." Relena answered.

They walked around the park, and on their second trip around Wufei asked her "Are you alright?"

"Not yet, but I will be. Um…Wufei?"

"Yes?"

"Have you ever lost someone that you loved?" Seeing the pain in his eyes, she immediately regretted asking it. "Sorry, you don't have to answer."

"It's alright. I've never told anyone this before, but I think you're the perfect one to tell it to and I feel I can trust you with what I'm about to tell you. I lost my wife, Merian, before the war."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. She was a strong woman and she died honorably in battle."

"I wish I was strong. If I was then maybe it wouldn't hurt so much."

Wufei stopped and turned Relena to face him. "Relena, you are the strongest woman I know! Don't degrade yourself just because Yuy wasn't smart enough to see what I see!" He looked at Relena with onyx eyes that shined with the truth.

"Thanks Wufei. I needed that. You're strong too, you know. I feel stronger when I'm around you than I ever did around Heero. You are a stronger and a much better person than him." Relena blushed at admitting what she had always felt. Wufei laughed. Relena didn't think she'd ever heard him laugh. Still looking up at him, she smiled.

"I wondered why you were always so pushy and bold when I was your bodyguard. You felt stronger and you thought you were invincible, didn't you?" (After Endless Waltz, Relena had stayed the Vice Foreign Minister, but she quit after only a year saying that she wanted to have a normal life. Wufei was her head bodyguard during that year as the VFM so he had watched over her almost constantly.)

"Yeah, you found me out."

They walked back to their dorms. Wufei said "I'm glad I've become friends with you Relena. You've changed me. I think I gather strength from you just as you do with me."

"I'm glad we're friends too. I'd be lonely without you." A few seconds of silence went by before she spoke again. "Wufei?"

"Yes?"

"Will you stay in my dorm with me? Lisa moved back home and I don't want to be alone. Please stay." They were at her door.

Wufei leaned forward and kissed her forehead (it seemed so natural of a move to him that it looked like he had always done that). "Sure. I have to pack my stuff, but I'm not sure I'll be able to go back to my room without punching him though." Wufei and Heero shared a room, but after Heero started sleeping with Sylvia, Wufei had been sleeping on a cot in Quatre and Trowa's room.

"If you punch him you'll have to give him a black eye for me."

Relena surprised Wufei with her comment. "That sounds fair to me." When they reached his room, he told Relena to stay hidden in the hallway so that Sylvia wouldn't see her. Relena hid in the doorframe of Duo and Hilde's room that was next door to Wufei and Heero's room. Wufei then knocked on his door in case Heero and Sylvia were in the middle of anything. Sylvia opened it and Wufei pushed past her. He then proceeded to pack all his belongings in a suitcase and his school books in a duffel bag. Heero came in from the bathroom as Wufei finished packing.

"What's up Wufei? Why are you packing?"

"I'm moving in with Relena."

Before Heero could react, there was a knock on the door. Sylvia opened it and Relena walked inside, ignoring Sylvia's death glare and Heero's shocked expression.

"Ready?" Relena asked when she stood in front of Wufei.

Wufei smiled and kissed her forehead (which earned him a death glare from Heero). "Yep, but there's still two things I have to do." He winked at Relena, who started giggling. She covered her mouth with her hand in an attempt to muffle the sound. It was a futile attempt.

Wufei walked over to Heero, said goodbye, and punched him in the cheek, just getting his lip. Heero stumbled back a little and was about to launch an attack of his own, when Wufei punched him in the eye. When Heero could see again, Sylvia was at his side and Wufei and Relena were at the door, arms linked. Wufei then told Heero "The busted lip is from me and the black eye is from me for Relena." Wufei and Relena then walked out of the room, shutting the door behind them.
