Chapter 9

First Attempt Made

Heero, Serena and Trowa had driven back together. Even against Duo's protest to go with them. Heero had blatantly told him no before climbing into the driver's seat after shutting Serena's door. Trowa was going to sit in the back with Serena but Heero said there was no need to. Trowa figured maybe Heero was starting to come around and trust that Serena wasn't going to run off. It wasn't long into the drive back that Heero's phone began to ring. Without bothering to check the caller ID he answered. "Yuy."

"There's a situation at the Capitol building. You need to get there immediately." Une said quickly.

"What do you mean there's a situation?" Heero asked as he changed directions to head towards the ESUN building.

"Agent Watson has taken Relena captive."

Heero said nothing before hanging up his phone. Stepping on the gas he drove as fast as he could. Thoughts racing through his mind as his heart rate started to increase.

"What's going on?" Trowa asked eyeing Heero.

"Watson's taken Relena captive."

"Why would Watson do that? Has he made any demands?" Trowa asked.

"None as far as I know." Heero said as he swerved around a car. Serena watched him carefully before darting her eyes to Trowa. The name Watson was familiar to her.

Within a few minutes they were stopped right outside of the ESUN Capitol building. Heero and Trowa quickly checked their guns before getting out of the SUV. Serena was about to open the door when Heero stopped her.

"Stay here." He said before slamming his door shut. Trowa said nothing as he ran after Heero who took off up the stairs to the main entrance of the building.

Serena watched them for a moment before turning to look in the front seat. Heero had taken the keys with him. She turned her head back to the building where people were still filing out of the building. Making the decision quickly she started looking through the vehicle. She checked the back seats before looking into the trunk. Not finding anything she moved up into the front passenger seat. Opening the glove box she smiled to herself before grabbing the item. After a quick check she exited the vehicle making a run for the building. Once inside she turned to her left running to the stairwell. She knew the building's layout like the back of her hand. Taking the stairs as fast as she could while trying to dodge people. She shook her head as she continued her way up. They should've had the building on lockdown. Not letting people run scared and causing more of a situation. After a few more minutes she was on the fifth floor. Pushing the door open, she slowly entered the hallway.


Relena had been working away at her desk all morning. While she was getting some work done, it didn't stop her mind from wandering to other thoughts. When she had gone to see Serena, she wasn't expecting the sight that greeted her. Nor did it help when Serena had realized something about the data her and Heero had been working on all night. Heero, himself didn't seem pleased either and he had refused to talk about it on the ride over to her office. She had tried to get him to open up, but all he told her was that they would speak about it later on today.

Relena wasn't completely unaware of what might have crossed their minds. She knew J had created Serena, from speaking with her and Heero verifying the information. Based on that and the reaction she witnessed, she was able to gather that it was possibly J who had set up the plan for Heero and Serena to somehow meet. While Relena wasn't completely informed on what was going on in Preventers, she still had some knowledge. It was her job after all to know most of this information but still some things were kept secret but Heero usually filled in the blanks for her.

She stopped working to further think back on some information Heero had told her. She knew about the e-mails. Which lead to the mission and in turn lead to them meeting Serena. But what were the chances that Serena would get hurt enough for one of them to find her in the building? Timing was everything in this world and she knew that all too well. Was it fate that brought them together? Relena shook her head no. It wasn't completely fate that had done it. J had laid his hand of cards out for all to see and the pieces fell into place perfectly. But the question that bothered her the most was why would J do such a thing? Why send Serena to be found by Preventers in the first place? There was more to this story than what was being told to her. And after this morning she knew that she needed to find out some more answers. From either Heero or Serena herself. She was starting to like Serena as well. They hadn't spent much time together but Relena could see herself becoming close with Serena.

Her musing was cut short when the door to her office opened. Agent Watson, who was currently on her guard detail for the day came in.

"Agent Watson," Relena quickly addressed him. "Is there something I can do for you?"

"Why yes there is." Watson's lips curled up slightly as he made his way over to Relena's desk.

Relena stiffened slightly in her chair as she watched him. Something was off about the way he was looking at her. Before she had any real time to react, a gun was thrusted into her face. "You're going to come with me." he said as his lips curled up more into a wicked smile.

"What do you want from me?" Relena asked as she stayed seated.

"We are going to change the world as we know it, Ms. Darlian."

"What do you mean by that?"

Watson gestured with his gun for her to stand up. "The start of the revolution is upon us. And you, will be the first one to see the beginning of the end of the ESUN."


Heero and Trowa were already on the fifth floor. They had finally found Watson with Relena walking slowly down the hallway. Heero and Trowa had their weapons trained on him as he finally stopped at an intersection on the floor. Relena was remaining calm from what Heero could tell. She kept her eyes on him while Watson's gun was pressed against her temple.

"Let her go Watson." Heero said.

"You and I both know I can't do that." Watson said with a wicked smile.

"You don't have to do are other ways of solving a conflict." Relena said evenly. She could feel her heart racing but she knew she needed to keep herself calm and collected.

"Shut up." Watson said pushing the gun into her head more.

Trowa was moving slowly as he tried to get a better shot at Watson. They just needed one clean shot and they could end this. Trowa was about to lift his foot when Watson yelled. "Don't even think about moving or I'll end her life right here, right now."

Heero glanced at Trowa as they both made eye contact. They needed to get Watson to move enough for one of them to take a shot at him, but without the risk of hitting Relena. Heero turned his eyes back to look at Relena. He was proud at how well she was handling herself. She hadn't taken her eyes off him. "What do you want?" Heero said as he moved his eyes back to Watson.

"ESUN needs to fall and if this is the only way to do it, then I'll gladly do it."

"What do you mean?" Trowa asked.

"Relena won't be needed in the new world we're about to create. If this marks the first step in obtaining that, then I'll…."

Heero and Trowa's eyes went wide as they saw Watson jerk as a gunshot rang out in the hallway. Relena had felt Watson release the gun from her head. Even with the gunshot ringing still in her ears she moved to run towards Heero. She didn't know what had happened but she knew she shouldn't look back. Heero had grabbed her once she was close enough, throwing her behind him as he raised his own gun. Trowa was about to move when another shot rang out. Watson had tried to go for his gun before it was shot away from him.


Serena held her weapon firmly as she slowly approached. She was watching Watson closely. She hoped that her second shot had been enough of a warning. He was clutching his side where she had hit him the first time. She kept on advancing towards him till she was close enough to lower herself to retrieve his gun. Tucking it behind her back she continued moving closer to him.

"You bitch!" Watson yelled between gasps. He had a hand pressed against his side.

Serena eyed him before grabbing a hold of him. Flipping him onto his stomach she dropped down pressing a knee into his back. Using her gun she hit his hand away as he tried to hold his side again. "It's just a flesh wound. You'll survive." Serena deadpanned as she turned her head.

"Flesh wound!? You fucking shot me you bit…." Watson yelled out in pain as Serena pushed the barrel of her gun into his side.

"You just gonna stare at me or are you going to cuff him?" Serena lifted a brow at Heero and Trowa. They were still in shock from seeing her come around the corner. Trowa had lowered his gun the second he saw her. Heero had his still raised till he dropped his arms making his way over to her and Watson. Trowa looked up to see several other Preventer Agents making their down the hallway before he turned his attention back to Heero and Serena. He watched as Serena turned her head to the sound of the foot steps before Heero jerked her up into a standing position.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Heero growled at Serena as he moved her away from Watson who was now being handled by two other agents.

Serena narrowed her eyes at him. "I came to help."

"You disobeyed my orders. I told you to stay in the car." Heero seethered.

Serena jerked her arm away from him but said nothing. She watched him as he reached around her back. Heero tucked the gun behind his own back before reaching to grab the one that was still in Serena's hand. "Where the hell did you get this?" He said as he lifted the gun in front of her.

"Glove box."

Heero glared at her. It was his own fault. He should've taken it out but he didn't. "Go back to the car and wait for us." Heero said in a low growl. He was angry at himself and at her. She held out her hand glaring back him. "What?" He asked when she said nothing to him.

"I locked the doors before I got out. I need the keys to get back in." She said as she kept her hand out.

Heero closed his eyes for a second before he moved the gun in his hand to his holster. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out the keys dropping them into her hand. "Get in the back seat and don't move. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, whatever you say." Serena said as she walked past him towards Trowa and Relena.

Duo and Sally had finally made to the floor as they watched Serena walk away from Heero. The two glanced at each other. They had been a few cars behind them when they saw them change direction. Duo had gotten the call soon after from Une. What they didn't know was that Serena had come inside the building with Heero and Trowa.

Heero watched Serena as she passed by Trowa who tried to speak to her but she refused to make eye contact with him. He caught Relena glaring at him before he looked back to Serena. "Put your hood on!" Heero yelled at her retreating back.

Everyone turned to look at Serena as she lifted the hood to cover her hair and most of her face. But as she lowered her hands she kept one finger up for a moment before dropping her hand to her side.

"Did she just give Heero the finger?" Duo asked as he watched Serena enter a stairwell.

Sally lifted a brow. She wasn't sure what to make of this one. "Yeah. I think she did."

Duo busted out laughing before he catch sight of Heero glaring at him. Relena was covering her mouth with her hands while her eyes went wide. Trowa shook his head as he turned away from Heero. Sally tried not to laugh as Wufei came to stand next to her. "I give her some credit." Was all he said before moving past her to speak with Heero and Trowa. Watson was complaining about being shot as two agents dragged him away.

Heero couldn't believe how the whole situation was playing out. He instructed Wufei to go with Watson back to HQ and to have Sally go to check on the gunshot wound he had received from Serena. After he had checked Relena who claimed to be fine and wanted to return back to work even after what had happened. He didn't like the idea of Relena returning to her office and had wanted her to come back with him so he could watch over her and least put his own mind at ease. But that wasn't the end of all of this. It only went downhill from there.

The President of ESUN Frederick Klein, had come down from his office and was speaking with Duo before coming to check on Relena. He told Heero he was grateful for the agent who took Watson down without any real bloodshed. He had asked where she was and that he wanted to personally thank her for protecting their Foreign Minister along with keeping the integrity of Preventers intact with her quick thinking.

Heero had no idea what to tell the President. Lucky for him, Relena quickly addressed the question. She told Klein that she had taken Watson back to HQ and that they could set up a time to properly thank her. Heero had shot her a look but her little white lie did seem to satisfy the man. He nodded his thanks before moving away from them. It didn't take Preventers long to secure the scene along with getting everyone back into the building. Trowa had reminded Heero that Serena was waiting in the car for them since he didn't allow her to stay. He had tried again to have Relena return with him to HQ but she had refused. She said she'd have Duo bring her later. She didn't want to send the wrong message that she was unable to continue to work even after being almost kidnapped.

Heero knew that he should've known better than to think she'd be anything but stubborn when it came to her work. He only decided to leave since Duo agreed to stay with her. There was only a few hours left in the work day so he reluctantly left her in Duo's hands.

When Heero and Trowa arrived back to the SUV after an hour. They found Serena sitting in the back with her arms crossed. Heero got into the driver seat before looking into the rearview mirror. "You think that was cute?" Her little stunt didn't go unnoticed by him and he was still unhappy with how everything happened. She had been exposed and that was the last thing he, or any of them needed.

Serena smirked as she met his eyes. "At least someone thinks I'm cute."

Heero grumbled something before starting up the engine. Trowa lifted a brow as he turned to look at her from the passenger seat. She simply shrugged before turning to look out the window. The smirk still on her face.

When she knew Trowa had turned back around in his seat, she let the smirk fall. She had made it in time to hear Watson say that the fall of ESUN would start with Relena. She was never supposed to die for the cause. Why would they change that aspect? She thought to herself as she watched the scenery out the window. Something wasn't right and she was wondering if it could of been because of her.


When they had arrived back at HQ, Heero had said nothing to Serena as they walked back into the building. Trowa tried not to read too much into it at the moment. But not even a minute after they had stepped back inside that Une had stopped them.

"Barton, Lowell and Yuy. My office now." She said before turning on her heel walking to the elevator. She held the doors as the three filed in. Heero had pulled Serena's hood over her head again. Gaining another glare from her.

The silence in the elevator was deafening. No one spoke. The tension was so thick, one could cut through it with a knife. Heero and Serena stood as far apart as possible. Une had stood at the front with her arms crossed glaring at the numbers as they rose. Trowa ended up being pushed into the corner since Serena and Heero were trying to not to be in arm's reach of each other. He had placed a hand on her back for a moment to try and reassure her. She hadn't acknowledge him verbally. Only glancing at him before the doors opened.

Une stepped off the elevator first, turning left towards her office. Heero followed after her while reminding Serena to stay close. Trowa dropped his hand as she pulled away from him. She kept her arms crossed as they walked down the hallway. A few people had stopped to stare but none of them said anything till after they passed. Trowa could hear them whispering before they entered Une's office.

Trowa had barely gotten the door shut before Une let loose on them. "Do any of you care to explain what the hell happened?" She locked eyes with each of them. Serena had removed her hood from her head once they were inside her office. "I got a lovely call from the President. While normally to get any kind of praise from him is a good sign that we're doing our jobs right, this time it isn't. He has asked for a meeting with the agent who stopped Watson." Une watched as Serena smirked slightly before schooling her face. "What am I supposed to tell him? Hm?"

When no one said anything she sighed before sitting down. "Look, Serena I do appreciate what you did but I cannot have you running around playing 'Preventer'. I've allowed you to stay but you need to be staying under the radar." Une watched as her face hardened. She opened her mouth before Serena cut her off.

"With all due respect, Watson would of killed Relena. You're lucky he didn't just do it in her office." She received a glare from Heero.

"Why do you think that?" Une questioned. She ignored the looks Heero was giving Serena.

"Relena was never supposed to be killed. Her role is too valuable to just simply kill her. The organization needs her, and needs her alive."

Heero turned grabbing a hold of Serena. "What did you just say?"

"She was never supposed to get hurt. They need her to sway the people of Earth and the Colonies."

Heero tightened his told as he ignored Une and Trowa's protests to let Serena go. "Why didn't you tell me she was a target?"

Serena narrowed her eyes at him. "You think I'd let them hurt her? When you said Watson had taken her, it set off alarms in my head. I didn't know they had sent someone to infuriate Preventers."

"Are you telling me the truth or only half of it?" He growled at her.

"I didn't know someone was going to target her. If I did, I would've said something." Serena prided his hands off of herself before pushing him away. "I wouldn't let them hurt her."

Trowa moved to pull Serena a few steps away from Heero. He kept his hands on her shoulders as Heero and her stared each other down. "Tell them what you just told me."

"Edwards is the leader of ROE." Serena started as she turned to face Une. "I know of Watson but I'm not sure he knows who I am. Chances are he won't give up any information. I didn't know they were sending people to infiltrate Preventers. Though it does make sense in the grand scheme of things. Their goal is to take control of ESUN but Relena was to be a key figure in their plan. No harm was to come to her."

Heero wasn't expecting Serena to tell them what she had. "Keep going." He said in a low voice.

Serena glanced at him before looking back at Une. "They need her to sway the Earth and Colonies. They know the kind of influence she could have over them. Once they have control of her, I'm sure you can figure out the rest."

Une pinched the bridge of her nose. This wasn't how her second meeting with Serena was supposed to go. "Is there anything else you can tell me?" She asked.

"They want to become the new ruling Government. Which shouldn't surprise you. After the war, Edwards starting forming his own body of soldiers. With each dismantling of tried organizations he gained more people. Didn't matter whose side you fought on during both wars. If they were against the currently ruling of ESUN, they joined his cause."

"And who is Edwards?" Une stopped Serena for moment before she let her continue.

"Unfortunately I don't know who he is or if he even exists. I never met with him, only his leaders. They all claimed to be the leader of ROE. "

Une frowned at the information. It wasn't enough to tell her anything substantial. "Are you saying that Edwards may not even an actual person?"

"Yes. My orders were always delivered by someone else. To be honest I think ROE is made up of several leaders."

"That's a good possibility. How involved were you before you left?" Une had sat straight in her chair as she watched Serena closely for any change in her posture.

"I was heavily involved but I wasn't allowed access to certain files or operations. I only know the raw basics of their plans. I was kept in the dark even before going on any missions."

"What can you tell me then that you know?"

Serena regarded her for a moment before responding. "The shipment of metals was for their own use for weapons." She glanced at Heero who had narrowed his eyes at her. "While the black market has a sustainable amount of weapons still flowing through it, it wasn't enough to meet the demand of what the leaders wanted."

"Based on the amount that has been transported it seems they're building something other than just guns." Heero watched as Serena turned to look at him.

"They also needed the ability to transport those weapons. They were able to buy out a small shipping company and make the repairs needed to the ships."

"What company and where would they be able to do so under our radar?" Une asked trying to get Serena's attention back on her.

"There was a small company based in the L3 cluster. Meyer I believe was the name. All operations were moved once they bought them out. There's still a number of resource satellites that are unused and have been made available for purchase since the war ended." Serena watched as Une opened her mouth to speak but he quickly continued on. "If you want the locations, I don't have them. A lot of the materials they've had shipped were used to repair some as well. It allowed them to move them from one location to the other."

Une closed her eyes for a moment. This had been the most information Serena had told them so far. It was a start but if Serena wasn't privilege to everything they still needed to do their own work on finding out who these people were and if this Edwards was even truly a person. "There's also one other thing." Serena's voice broke through her thinking. She nodded for Serena to continue once she locked eyes with her.

"There may be others who have come into the agency. I don't think Watson is the only one who may have been sent to infiltrate. It's also possible that they sent others to even start working their way through ESUN. If you want I can go through a list of personal and see if any names match those of who I know in ROE."

Heero was about to interject when Une held up a hand. "I'll think it over. We have Watson and I want a full interrogation done on him. See if he's willing to say anything." She said to Heero before looking back to Serena. They had more to go on now but it wouldn't be easy, she knew this. But for now it was a start. She needed time to process a few things and think over a plan that could put them a step ahead of these rebels. "As far you go Serena, I want you to return to your room and wait for my decision on what the next course of action will be." She watched as Serena nodded.

"May I make a suggestion?" Serena asked before she left. Une nodded her head in approval. "Increase security on top ranking officials." She turned to looked at Heero. "Especially Relena and the President."

"I agree with you, Lowell. Thank you for your time. You're dismissed."

Serena nodded her head again before turning on her heel. Heero and Trowa thought they were to leave as well to escort Serena back to her room. Heero wasn't happy based on what Trowa could read from the expression on his face. "Barton, Yuy. Both of you are to remain. I trust that she can find her way back."

They both stopped in their tracks as they watched Serena turn around for a moment. She gave a curt nod before opening the door. After she exited the room they both turned back to face Une. "Do you think that's a wise idea?" Heero said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Sally is aware of the fact that Serena was coming to my office. I have her waiting for Serena on the first medical floor."

"What if someone sees her?"

"Yuy at this point it's been made aware that she is in this building along with the fact she has been seen with the both of you. Hiding her isn't going to help." Une pinched the bridge of her nose again as she tried to think on how they could solve the issues at hand. "I'll figure out what to do with her. For now she's talking. She's willing to give us information which at least it's a starting point. Whatever information she tells us needs to be looked into regardless if it's something small. She may be telling us the truth about not knowing everything." She looked up to meet Heero's questioning eyes. "You both know that first hand. You were given orders and you followed through. You knew the basics of what Operation M was, but never fully knew the finer details. Just remember that." She paused for a moment before continuing. "See what Watson has to say and report anything back to me ASAP. I'll hold off Klein for as long as I can, but it may come down to where we may have to set something up. I'll see if Relena can pull any strings to keep him away."

She looked between to the two of them. Both their faces were masked but Heero's was starting to slip. "Yuy, go find Chang and Maxwell. Have them handle Watson." She knew that he'd most likely want to return to Relena's side. Klein had told her that Relena refused to go back to Preventers. "Barton, go make sure Serena has returned to her room. I'll let you both know my decision in a day or so on what we'll be doing with her. Until then, I want her to stay in her room no matter what. Understood?" She waited as both nodded their heads. "Dismissed."


Serena was escorted back to her room by Sally. Sally didn't say much other than Watson was a cry baby about being shot by her. While she appreciated the attempt to humor her, Serena wasn't happy about how things turned out. The fact that any attempt on Relena's life was made, only made her question things further. Was ROE changing tactics? Why kill off someone who was the most important to the operation of total control of ESUN?

Something wasn't settling right with Serena as she thought about everything. She hadn't been in contact with J in almost two weeks now. Which left her not knowing what was going on. That part bothered her the most. If she had known something was going to happen or even have any hint of it, she would've put a stop to it right away. She may of been under control by ROE, but it didn't mean she had to completely agree with their ideals. Which is why she told Une some information. If ROE was going to be taken down, Serena knew that she needed to step up and be willing to completely work with Preventers. Her thoughts were interrupted as a knock came on her door. She didn't bother to look up once the person stepped into the room. It was easy to tell who it was.

Trowa looked over to the bed. Serena had changed her clothes and as he took a good look at her face it was easy to see the hard expression on her face. That and she didn't make any eye contact with him when he entered. Sighing inwardly he walked over to the bed. "Don't over think it." He said as he sat down.

"I'm not."

"Yes, you are." Trowa watched as she shot her head up to look at him. "Heero has the same express and doesn't make eye contact when he's over thinking something. I've known him long enough to pick up a thing or two about him." He watched for another moment before offering her a small smile. "You did the right thing."

Serena eyed him. "How do you know?"

"Because you could've just sat in the car and did nothing. Instead you did something." He reached a hand out and placed it on her shoulder. "Regardless of what anyone says, you were right in making the decision to come in and help. It could've resulted in the loss of Relena or someone else."

"That may be true, but you do realize what all this means?"

Trowa took his hand back, resting it on the bed. "You've been exposed, yes."

Serena shook her head. "It's not just that, Barton. It means that things are going to change."

Trowa frowned. Normally she used his last name when she was joking lightly with him. "What do you mean?"

Serena's face hardened for a moment before she shook her head again. "Keep an eye on everything. Trust only those who you can rely on. Who knows how far ROE's reach is now." Trowa frowned again as he watched her. "Don't look at me like that, Trowa. You know it's the truth. Just be smart." She offered him a small smile. "To be honest, I would prefer to end this discussion about this topic. At least for tonight."

Trowa nodded his head before offering a smile of his own. "Alright then. Are you hungry?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "I guess I could eat."

"It's not take out, but I did stop by the cafeteria." He pulled out two sandwiches from his jacket along with two water bottles. Serena had wondered how he was able to hide so much in the tight fitted jacket, but then again maybe it just added to the mystery of him. "By the way." He started as he looked back up into her eyes. "I noticed a rather large sum of money that was transferred into my account. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you?" He lifted an eyebrow for good measure.

"No. I wouldn't know a thing about that." Serena said as she smirked at him.


After speaking with Wufei, Heero headed back to the Capitol building. He was planning on sending Duo back to HQ while taking Relena home. After they day they had, the idea of just going home with her was welcoming. Her work day was almost done anyway. He would easily steal her and whisk her home. He felt his stomach before he heard the growl. He hadn't had anything to eat all day. Coffee, as good as it was and how much he enjoyed it was not an executable form of nursitment. Relena would no doubt be hungry as well so he made the decision to grab some take out on the way back to her house.

Getting her to leave her office was harder than he thought. Relena had pushed all thoughts aside of what had occurred earlier as she tried to get as much work done as possible. And she says I work too much. It wasn't until he offered her food that she readily agreed to leave her office for the night. She had asked if they were going out, but after the type of day they had, she agreed it was probably best not to be seen out in public. Word hadn't spread just yet to the media of what had really happened. Une was working hard to keep the finer details hidden. She was a little disappointed, but Heero thinking ahead, had ordered her favorite Italian food. They stopped by the restaurant on their way back to her town house to pick up the food. Relena had smiled brightly at him when he had gotten back into his car. It was those moments for him that he knew he was doing something right.

After they enjoyed their dinner, Heero sent Relena away as he cleaned up the kitchen. They were both so hungry they hadn't bother to change out of their work atrie before sitting down to eat. Once he was done, Heero made his way up to the master bedroom. Relena had changed into a plain t-shirt and sweatpants. Her go to comfort clothes when she wanted to lounge around the house. He smirked to himself as he moved to stand behind her. He nuzzled her neck for a moment before he started to plant soft kisses as he tighten his arms around her.

"Aren't you tired?" Relena asked, even as she moved her head to allow him more access to her sensitive skin.

"No." He mumbled as he bit down lightly.

"When was the last time you got some sleep?"

"Yesterday." He said before moving to her ear. "That was the last time I slept with you."

Relena gasped before turning around in his arms to face him. "Heero!" She watched him as his lips twitched up into a smirk before quickly descending on hers. His kiss was passionate with a hint of eagerness. As the kiss deepened, she could feel his arousal as he pushed their bodies closer. They broke away long enough to get some air. She was about to say something till he lifted her up bring her to the bed.

Heero laid her down as he crawled atop of her. Her eyes were starting to glaze over as she looked up at him. He could get lost in her eyes, and he often did when looking at her. Especially like this. She always said his eyes were the gateway to his soul, but he truly believed that her's were the gateway into his own soul. She held his soul, his life, everything he was. Even if she didn't know that. He leaned down to kiss her gently before moving back to pull his shirt over his head. As he moved back over her, he saw that she was trying to get her own shirt off. He stilled her hands as he pulled the the rest of her shirt up and over her head. Tonight would be about her and only her.

He stared down at her as he lightly traced his fingers over her skin. He felt the sharp intake of air, along the goosebumps he was creating with just one touch. He leaned down again to capture her lips in another kiss. His hand coming up to rest for a moment on the soft flesh of her breast. The simple touch cause another gasp from her before a moan escaped her slightly parted lips. His hand lightly molding the soft tissue. He smirked against her lips as he ran his thumb over the hard nipple.

Relena broke the kiss as she arched her back. He knew how to tease her with just the lightest of touches. She was relishing in the attention he was giving her. His mouth searing her skin as left a trail of kisses. She arched her back into him more as his mouth found its way to one of nipples. She could feel his tongue along with his teeth as he lightly grazed the sensitive spot. Her hands coming up to tangle in his locks as he moved from one breast to the other. It wasn't long before she felt him pull away from her. Opening her eyes, she caught the smirk on his lips before she felt his fingers hook the inside of her sweatpants. In one fluid motion, he pulled not own the pants off but her underwear as well. She had helped him slightly by lifting her hips but that didn't matter as she felt his next move.

Heero knew everything he was doing. Every little move he made. Every flick of his tongue. Every stroke of his fingers was sending her closer to the edge. Her moans had become louder. Her hands were tangled in his hair again as he continued to give her the most pleasure possible. It wasn't long before her legs had tightened around his head and her breathless words filled the air around them. He would never be able to get enough of her. She tasted like heaven. His slice of heaven.

Once her body relaxed, Relena opened her eyes enough to see Heero move to capture her lips again in a heated kiss. While she was enjoy all the attention he was giving her. She knew that she should return the favor. Even if for a little. She lightly put her hands on his chest, pushing him away. She smirked at him as she looked into his deep blue eyes. Grabbing his pants she gave them a tug. He quickly obliged, removing them from his body. Before he could come back to lay on top of her, she gently shook her head while once again placing a hand on his chest. It didn't take him long to realize what she want to do. Wordlessly, he flipped them so she was now straddling his waist. She kissed him quickly before moving down his body. Repeating the same actions as he had done to her. She left a trail of kisses in her wake as she made her way down to his hips.

Without wasting any more time, she took a hold of member. Sliding her hand lightly down the length before moving her mouth to engulf him. She felt his hands tangle in her long strands as she continued to move her head in a steady rhythm. Her hands and mouth working together to bring him the same pleasure he had given to her. His fingers had gripped her hair tighter as he started to slowly take over her movements. Guiding her as she built up his release. Then he abruptly pulled her head away.

"Relena…" Heero said in a low husky voice. His breathing was uneven as he tried to control himself. If he let Relena continue working her magic on him, he knew he wouldn't last long. She had loosen her hand around him. As he sat up, he pulled her into an embrace as he kissed her hard on the lips before flipping them back over. There was work still left unfinished. He adjusted himself between her legs as he took in the sight over again. She smiled softly at him before taking a hold of his head, bring it back down to hers. He swiftly entered her, joining their bodies together once again. The soft and warm folds of her body surrounding him as he started the slow movements that were all too familiar.

Heero had broken the kiss, as she moaned into his mouth. When her eyes fluttered open she looked directly into his. Every emotion, every thought passing through those midnight blue orbs. In these moments, they were the gateway to the universe. There was such a strength, a power behind those eyes. But there was also the heart of his soul. The loving, tender side of him. These were the moments no one else had ever seen but her. He was completely vulnerable, but it was always the last thing on his mind. She clamped her eyes shut as his paced quickened. Her hands slipped from his neck as he pushed himself up, grabbing a hold of her waisted and he pushed himself deeper into her. Her moans filling the air around them once again, as a second wave started to pass over her. She opened her eyes again in time to see his close as his own sounds mingled with hers.

Heero fell onto his shaky hands. He was trying to catch his breath without completely falling on top of Relena. He could hear her panting before she moved her hands to swipe his bangs away from his face. They locked eyes before he pulled himself out and away from her. Laying next to her, he wrapped his arms around her bring her body closer to his. He planted soft kisses on her cheeks as he made his way to her lips. The kiss was gentle but filled with everything he had.

Relena appreciate these moments more than tender way he touched her. The way he kissed her. All over tonight was amazing. Her favorite food, him cleaning up the kitchen for her. Even their lovemaking. There was just one thing he had forgotten. "Heero?"

"Hm?"

"You're still not off the hook." Relena watched as Heero's face deadpanned. She laughed lightly as he glared at her.
