"A New Love"
Chapter 2:
Once they were in Relena's dorm room, Wufei unpacked his bags into the closet and the spare dresser. Relena changed the sheets on the only bed in the room from pink to navy blue. Lisa had taken her bed with her so now there was only Relena's brand new queen size bed in the dorm room.
"Wufei, do you mind sharing my bed?" She blushed at the idea. But she reminded herself that they were friends, not lovers.
Wufei smiled to himself. "I don't mind." An image of them naked in bed together flashed through his mind. He mentally shook the vision away and tried to be busy. "Len, where should I put my school books?"
She smiled at him. "Just put them on the desk with mine. By the way-I love the nickname." She smiled a truly happy smile.
"Good. I wanted to call you something more personal to me. Plus, you'll know it's me when you hear it." Wufei returned her smile. A knock on the door broke the moment. Wufei opened it to find Dorothy, Quatre, Trowa, and Catherine on the other side.
"What are you doing here?" Dorothy and Catherine asked. Both were a little shocked to see Wufei open the door.
"I happen to be rooming with Len as of now. Why are you here?"
"We were bored and wanted to know if you wanted to watch a movie?" Quatre asked.
"It looks like we're not the only ones with insomnia tonight, Wufei. What movie did you guys have in mind?" Relena asked coming in the living room from the bedroom.
Quatre and Catherine held up the four movies they had brought. They all happened to be chick flicks. Wufei groaned and collapsed backwards on the floor. Relena giggled at him.
Wufei looked up at her with a playful look in his eyes. "So you think that's funny?" He jumped up from the floor and chased Relena into the bedroom where he landed on top of her on the bed while tickling her.
When the other four came in to see how the chase ended, they saw they were facing each other and Wufei's arms were around Relena's waist and Relena's arms were around Wufei's neck. They were surprised however to see their friends in a passionate kiss. Quatre, Dorothy, Catherine, and Trowa snuck back out to the living room. Trowa whispered to Quatre "You owe me thirty bucks, Quatre."
Quatre frowned, handed Trowa the thirty bucks, and then yelled "So what movie should we watch?"
Quatre's yell broke the kiss and Wufei and Relena stared at each other. Each had flames of passion in their eyes. "Should we join them or kick them out?" Wufei asked in a husky voice.
Relena laughed. "We'll join them. I wonder if they saw us kissing." Her voice was equally deep with passion.
"I'm betting ten bucks they did."
"I'll take that bet."
Wufei yelled to Quatre "Call Duo and Hilde and invite them over and tell them to bring some movies with them. Not chick flicks!" He turned back to face Relena, who had a curious look on her face. "If they saw us kissing, we might as well tell Duo and Hilde ourselves. Or would you rather have the others tell them? Not to mention that those two will also want to know what went on in Heero's room."
"You're right."
"Len?"
"Yes?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes." They kissed again.
When Relena and Wufei joined the others in the living room (Quatre, Trowa, Dorothy, Catherine, Duo, and Hilde-who had rushed over), there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it." Wufei announced as he walked to the door. He wasn't surprised to find Heero was on the other side.
"Why have you moved in with her?" Heero yelled at him.
"I can't stand to share a room with you and that whore." Wufei told him in a calm and quiet voice.
"You're moving in with Relena!" Duo, Hilde, Quatre, Dorothy, and Catherine asked in unison. They all had shocked expressions on their faces. Trowa just raised an eyebrow.
Wufei looked at them then at Relena. Her confused expression matched his. "I guess Len and I forgot to mention that."
"You forgot!" Hilde asked.
"How could you forget something that important!" Duo chimed in.
"Well, I recall telling Quatre, Dorothy, Trowa, and Catherine that I was rooming with Len as of now." Wufei said nervously. A chorus of 'oh yeah's followed.
Out of no where, Trowa asked "Why does Heero have a busted lip and black eye?"
"Yes Wufei. Explain why you did this to me." Heero stated.
Wufei turned back to face Heero, with a glare that rivaled the one he was getting from Heero. Wufei's piercing onyx eyes however, had a much deadlier look in them than the Heero's Prussian eyes. Wufei couldn't contain his anger any longer. He shot a punch at Heero's stomach, but Heero dodged it. "You didn't have the guts to tell Len that you were sleeping with Sylvia! Plus, you led Len on! You made her think that she was important to you, even though the slut that's hiding in the hallway is obviously the most important thing to you! (At this comment Sylvia stops hiding and links her arm with Heero's.) You should've told Len that you didn't love her!" Wufei yelled at Heero. His fists shook at his sides with anger and his breathing was ragged.
Relena came to his side. "It's alright Wufei." She said patting his arm. "I'll be alright." She laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes for a second. When she opened her sapphire blue eyes, she looked at Heero and Sylvia with a glare that matched if not surpassed Heero's death glare and said "You should leave now. You've overstayed the welcome you never had." Relena then shut the door in their faces and locked it. She then sat with Wufei on the loveseat. Still holding Wufei's arm, she asked the others "What movie did we decide on before we were so rudely interrupted?" She had a slight smirk on her face as she remembered shutting the door in Heero and Sylvia's faces. She had enjoyed doing that.
The rest of the gang stared at her for a while, and then they all started laughing (even Trowa) at the shocked expressions of Heero and Sylvia. The movie they chose was a scary one that Duo and Hilde had brought, so all the girls clung to the guys. At one point, Relena looked at the screen only to see a scary scene. She made an "eep" noise and turned to hide her face in Wufei's shoulder. At the same time, Wufei leaned down to tell her not to be scared. Their lips met. Relena melted into his arms and Wufei pulled her closer to him. Everyone had heard Relena's "eep" and had turned in time to see the passionate kiss. Everyone smiled at the sight. When Wufei and Relena broke the kiss for air, they just stared at each other.
"Are you just gonna stare at her or are you gonna kiss her again?" Duo asked grinning from ear to ear.
"Ask her out first!" The girls said in unison.
"I've already asked her and she said yes." Wufei said.
"What? When did you do that?" Quatre asked.
"He asked me after he chased me into the bedroom." Relena answered.
"So that was before of after the kiss on the bed?" Dorothy asked.
"After and you owe me ten bucks Len."
"Damn. Oh well."
Everyone cheered as Wufei kissed Relena again.
At school the next day, Duo told Heero that Wufei and Relena had become a couple. Heero ran to his second class. He shared this class with Wufei and Quatre. He stormed up to Wufei's seat, which was beside his and Quatre's on the back row. "Who the hell do you think you are! I didn't give you permission to go out with her!"
"I don't need permission from you. I love her and always have." Wufei glared at Heero.
"What!" Heero's anger was replaced quickly with confusion. "Wait…I thought you liked Sally."
"I do like Sally, but as an older sister. I've loved Relena as soon as I met her after the Mariemaia incident. With my help, she realized that her ideals of pacifism were wrong. I'm the friend that's been there for her for the past four years. I was there when her foster mother died, her only brother went to Mars for the Terra-forming project she set up, and she was deceived by her first love! She cried on my shoulder! I was there when she needed someone! Don't tell me that I need permission from you to do anything with Relena! You were never there when she wanted you and needed you! Now if you don't sit down and leave me the hell alone you'll have another black eye to match the other one I gave you!" Wufei was breathing hard with anger at the end of his speech. He glared at Heero, who immediately sat down. Quatre just smiled at the scene.
After school, the gang (Relena, Wufei, Quatre, Dorothy, Trowa, Catherine, Duo, and Hilde) went on a group date at the park. While they were eating their picnic dinner, Duo got a text message.
"I'll be right back." He told everyone. He then disappeared into the forest. "What do you want?" He asked the figure in front of him.
"Why are you all here?" Heero asked.
"Simple. We're on a group date. Why do you care?" Duo asked tonelessly. "I thought perfect soldiers weren't supposed to have feelings." He added sarcastically.
"I want to protect her."
"Wufei was a fellow gundam pilot and you're questioning her safety? You're my friend, but I have to say this: The only thing she needs to be protected from is guys like you."
"What the hell do you mean by that?"
"You broke Relena's heart. She and Wufei have healed the wounds in each other's hearts. You lost your chance buddy. Don't make their lives miserable because of it." Duo abruptly turned and walked back to the group. The rest of the group date went without distraction.
Five months later, Relena and Wufei were married. The gang became friends with Heero again, even though he was engaged to Sylvia. The gang never warmed up to Sylvia though.
THE END!
