Harry opened the door to find Relena peacecraft standing there.
"Mr. Potter, could we have a talk?" - Relena was well aware of what she was doing was not in the plan they had discussed that afternoon, but she knew her idea was better. Or at least, believed it.
Don't go on making a fool of yourself Relena, you know this person is good, you can tell by the evidence and your brother is not on his right mind, none of us are, we are barely ok emotionally, this is something you need to step up and deal with.
Her thoughts might have seem foreign to others, but she was sure she was doing the right thing. She just hoped she wasn't wrong.
"Er, yes, come in" - Harry said, moving back inside and sitting on a chair, this forced Relena to sit on the bed. Not something she was fond of, so she went outside and brought a chair back from the hallway. Harry felt a bit embarassed but it had not been his intention.
Relena sat on the chair "I have no idea why they keep only one chair in every room, I have told them to make it two but they don't listen what can one do" - She tried to smile but it didn't come, so she got to the point- "Mr. Potter, my world seems to not trust you enough to lead this rescue mission and the power of the decision does not lie with me, it lies with the consensus. However, I can make sure that it goes your way if you could tell me...the truth of everything"
Harry was relieved...or maybe he was not, he was not sure, but this Relena was going straight to the point, and if no one else had the decency to talk to her up front, at least she had, and he had no time to lose.
"Miss Relena, what I have said is true, we do have, certain unforgivable curses than can kill people, but everytime you use something like that, a part of your heart is broken, part of your soul too, I mean it is not different from killing people in a war, I am sure you are familiar with that" - Harr continued - "I am not the type of person to do that, I have told you my history, why I came to have this scar, what I had to do to save my world from Voldermort and what we had to do this time" - Harry was feeling better by just saying what he felt and he wasn't about to stop now - "these mobile suits appeared out of no where, they seem to be fast to leave once they have destroyed their target, I am not sure what they want, no one is, we have been fighting this war for months now, a lot of people have died, and not many on their side" - Relena listened .
"There is nothing else I can tell you, because it would take too long, I need help, my world needs help, I don't use those curses unless I am thrown one and so far I see no reason to use it on any of you" - Harry finished, hoping she would understand
"Look, Harry, I understand what you are saying, more or less as best as a person from another parallel universe can" - Relena still had difficulty with this - "The reason I am telling you this is because my people don't really believe you have the ability to be a, well, a soldier with tactical knowledge, and honestly they don't have the time to train you. But I believe you can help us and you should know what is happening and what we are preparing, I think it is your right since they are your people and it is your world"- Relena finished
Harry was very thankful for people like her at that moment. Be it his world or not.
"I agree" - Harry said - "How are we going to do that?"
"We are doing that right now, Mr. Potter" - Relena said, smiling a little - "Let me talk to everyone involved, I will try to bridge the gap, my studies of Quantum Mechanics are not extensive but I will try my best. I know it is a lot to ask you to trust me, and I know you don't have any other options, but please, try to trust me on this, this once" -Relena added - "at least, if this doesn't work or I betray you you will know how to proceed"
Harry nodded. She was intelligent, in a different way than Hermione though. Everything here was different from home but at the same time somewhat similar.
"I will deal with this during breakfast, it is late now and you should rest, all of us should" - Relena excused herself and left Harry's room.
He wasn't sure what had just happened was right, or the best course of action, but like she had said, he had nothing right now. This was it, and his gut did tell him it was good.
Relena passed the corridors and headed for her room. She knew this was important and needed to think of a way to work cohesively with everyone.
This won't be easy...She thought, but then again, the war hadn't been easy at all.
In fact nothing had been easy for her after the war or during the war. But she did not want to complain, she had lived a life of priviledge, she still was and in comparison to any other person, including her brother, she was better off.
It was then that she bumped into Trowa.
"Ah...Relena...you've got a piece of lint on your hair"- Trowa removed it swiftly before Relena knew what was happening
"T-thank you"- She said, a bit surprised by the closeness
"Can I walk you?" - He asked, she nodded and they walked in silence until they reached her door
"Good night" - She said, grabbing the handle of her door and turning it
"I need to talk to you about...last time" - Trowa said, in a low voice
"Trowa, I don't have time right now" - Relena looked at him, she was honest but was afraid he wouldn't care
"I can help, if you want" - He said, his hands were in his pockets and Relena had to admit she needed help, but she wasn't sure she wanted it from someone who might have feelings for her.
"Ok...ok, but I only have an hour or two, then I have to sleep" - She entered her room and urged him to come in and close the door.
This won't take long, if it does, I have lost, Trowa thought.
Relena went straight for her bed. She was tired, more out of stress than anything. She plopped down on it and decided tomorrow she wouldn't be wearing a dress, it was just too stressful to try to look her best all of the time. It wasn't practical and besides, the only person she ever really wore them for at first were her mother and father and later...for her "fans". After that it had been-oh, it had been Heero.
Heh.
Trowa watched her plop down on the bed like he was nothing. She was always so non-chalant around her, so comfortable, so herself. He hated that..
Relena rolled over remembering Trowa was there and said:
"What do you need to say?"- She just wanted all of this to be over with, she braced herself
"I told you how I felt once"- Trowa said
"What? When?"- Relena was very confused
"I told you I had feelings for you a long time ago"- Trowa said
"...yes I know, but we accorded that such a thing could not come to pass"- She said and continued-"You TOLD me you had gotten over it Trowa, did you lie? Again?"
"I never told you they had left, I never said I stopped, I merely said I had them under control"- He continued - "I never lied"
"What the hell are you talking about Trowa?"- She was angry now
"Relena, do you really need me to repeat it all for you again? I said I love you, full stop, it's not something I can just hide away, something I can stop and say 'well ok she's my friend and that's all it is', I can't. I won't."- He looked at her then, with an intensity he didn't know he had. He needed her to understand, he had to make her understand.
"Get out" - Relena said - "Get out, there's the door"- She signaled towards it and Trowa kept staring at her.
"Why won't you admit that we have something?"- He got closer to her bed and Relena quickly got off of it.
"Because we don't and you are being selfish by using me into thinking so" - She had gotten all the way to the corner of her room and was not handling these news very well - "Get out Trowa, I mean it"
Trowa didn't listen to her and kept walking to where she was.
"Relena, I have had feelings for you since I told you and I never lied to you...I want to experience everything with you. Yes. Everything." - He reached out to touch her hair, Relena's heart rate was going off the charts. She was so confused, so taken back and so disappointed in herself for not realizing what could happen if she let him in. Now she was angry at herself.
"Trowa..."- His hands were intertwined between her loose strands of hair and she didn't know where he was going next.
Trowa could not quite believe he was this close to her. Say something. You're supposed to say something now.
When the door opened with a bang, Relena pushed Trowa away from her and yelled at him "GET OUT!"
Duo didn't stop himself then "You heard the lady. Get out." - Duo put himself between them, just like that day, with Heero and her near the ocean. That day Heero was going to blow Wing.
I keep getting slathered all over their business...Duo thought, but no matter, he was here on a mission and that was that.
Trowa quickly returned to himself and got out of the room. Without saying a word.
