In her life
Disclaimer: . . . I give up on these things. Nobody reads 'em, nobody cares. *sigh of defeat* I do NOT own Gundam Wing. There.
A/N: I don't have a real title for this fic yet, so this one will have to do. I was going to go untitled, but decided since it is about Relena and does involve life it would be okay. Sorry if it doesn't suit you. O.O Okay, well anyway, I'm saying sorry now for poor grammar. I'm sorry if I switch tenses on you. I don't mean to, honest. :) Anyway, enjoy. Tell me what you think, good or bad, it's all gravy. :P
In Her Life
Relena sits back in her chair and sighs, stretching her arms to their highest before returning them to her sides and staring at her reflection. She picks her brush up from her vanity table in front of her and begins brushing through the blond tresses after taking her hair down from its customary style. She shrugs off her heavy business coat and lets it drop to the floor.
/That thing is too hot sometimes/
Too bad they didn't have a summer outfit for diplomatic events.
/Well, politics really isn't about fashion anyway, I suppose/
She resumes looking at her reflection in the vanity mirror. The thin tank top she had on underneath that business coat really did nothing to keep the damn thing from itching her like crazy so now her pale skin was all red. She frowns slightly upon seeing her slim figure.
/I'm too thin. I really should take care of myself a little better. What good is a world leader if she's in the hospital?/
She really couldn't help it anyway. She hadn't the time or the energy to eat after all those meetings during the day. Upon arriving at her mansion, one of the maids or Zechs would practically force some food down her throat. She couldn't be angry with them. After all, they lived with her and knew of her every move, so therefore saw how little she ate throughout the course of a day.
/This seat is uncomfortable/
You'd think after all those meetings, she would want to sit down. Quite the contrary, actually. All she did was sit in those meetings and so when she got home it felt good to stand up and walk around. She proceeds to walk out onto her balcony, looking down over the ledge to see the rose garden below.
/Feels good to be able to relax, breathe in the night air, something I haven't been able to do in a while/
She smiles. She had been very busy lately; meeting with colony leaders and leaders of the terra-forming project on Mars...the list of them was long and distinguished. She'd seen enough council rooms in the last week to last any normal person a lifetime.
/Hmm...Normal. What is that?/
She loved her job, but sometimes it got to be annoying. Well, okay. So she didn't LOVE her job. Let's just say that it had GROWN on her. She had to admit that she was good at speechmaking.
/Ah, well, it's a living and the people need me right now/
She shivers involuntarily, not really out of being cold, but of the odd feeling of being watched.
/Probably one of the servants below...Or maybe.../
Heero.
Heero held true to his promise of protecting her. It was generally from the shadows, at least in public events, so nobody knew he was even still around save for maybe Duo, but...when she was alone he would occasionally show himself.
Ah, Heero. It was funny how it all began with her following him almost everywhere he went, but now it was quite the opposite; *He* followed *her* nearly everywhere she went, even on dates (a rarity for her as she never had the time, but they still happened). If it was a date with some diplomats' son and he was just an egotistical jerk like so often happened, Heero would emerge from the shadows and save her from the evil that is man. (Heh) It was really sweet, but sometimes unnerving. He, for some reason, seemed to believe he was her keeper or something.
/Well, at least he isn't as bad as before. You'd think he was jealous or something/ She laughs at the thought. Did he even REALLY understand what jealousy was? She knew he knew WHAT it was...but did he understand what it was to FEEL it? The thought had always boggled her mind; whether he knew the difference between knowing emotions and feeling them...Hmm...
Anyway, to anybody who didn't know the situation, it would seem as though he were a lost little boy looking for his place in this world.
Hmm...that wasn't so far from the truth, actually. After the Mariemaea (sp?) incident, the two of them had gotten together and tried to form a functional relationship, as Heero had finally come to terms with the fact that he had some sort of feelings for her. She was happy, naturally, and he was, well...he was Heero. They both seemed to revel in each other's companionship; both needing the closeness. But, soon enough she realized it wouldn't work out. He didn't know if it was love he felt for her, or friendship, or even a sort of sibling bond. It took her a bit to come out of her bliss-like state and realize that he didn't know what Love is, let alone be able to feel it and until he came to grips with his emotions he couldn't be with ANYONE. Due to his absence of any sort of REAL childhood, he had some pretty fucked up issues to deal with before joining humanity again and living a normal life. Perhaps in a few years the two of them could find each other's hearts again if fate allowed it...Until then, though, they would remain friends. Yes, she would dare to say that they had become good friends. All of the pilots had remained friends with her, surprisingly. Quatre had taken her out on a few 'dates' and through him her and Trowa kept contact.
Trowa was still with Catherine and the Circus and had even invited her to watch whenever she wanted. Unfortunately, she hadn't had the time to do so.
Duo of course kept in contact, since Heero was with her. Sometimes she had to wonder what that was all about. Was he in love with Heero?
Nah. They were best friends. Heero needed someone like Duo in his life; always cheerful.
Wufei was the hardest to keep in contact with, as he was always busy with the Preventers. They had rarely ever talked to begin with. Sally kept her updated on him. You'd think the two of them were together or something, but nope...at least not yet. Last she heard, Sally was hinting around for them to get hooked up, but Wufei hadn't taken the hint. Poor Sally. With that guy, it could be a while.
Hmm...Duo. She could fall for a guy like him. He, despite the horrible past he's had, is happy and talkative. Very cute, too...beautiful eyes. Not as beautiful as Heero's of course, but beautiful all the same.
/Humph/
He has Hilde, though. Not that they would ever get together or anything. She didn't talk to him all that often. Just enough to hear that he and Hilde are still sharing a house, but tragically aren't dating or anything.
/Those two are too much alike to be together anyway...Or maybe, just similar enough? I don't know/
She looks up to see that it has gotten completely dark now. How long had she been out there? She shivers again, that feeling coming over her once more. She stifles a gasp when warm, strong arms snake around her from behind. She turns around to meet a Prussian blue gaze.
"Hello, Heero"

Well, what do you think? I know it's boring right now, but it (hopefully) will get better by the next chapter. I had to end it here because I have a bit of a dilemma. I was wondering if you guys could help me out a little? This is my first GW fic and I'm not entirely sure on which pairing I want to do. Should I do a 2xR or a 1xR??? See, some people on this ML I'm on have nearly convinced me that Heero and Relena are a bad match, as Heero shouldn't be in a relationship with anyone cause of his err...lack of emotions. They've also said that the two of them are too much alike, which I can sorta see, but...I really like the HyxRP pairing. Then there's Duo and Relena, which, even though it's a little far-fetched, would be a believable couple to me. He's a little insane and she's a little too serious. I dunno. I'm rambling now, so I'm gonna go and get started on the next chapter, but if you guys would be so kind as to let me know which couple I should do, if any at all, I'd greatly appreciate it. You can e-mail me at Odangoprincess@yahoo.com or just write it in the review space. Thanks! ^^ ~Tori
