A/N: Thank you to Truish and FanFictionFiend, who put this on alerts. Thank you so much, you are what keep me writing this! On the flipside, it's late, and I don't want to write on my fiction project, so I decided to work on this. Please point out my typos, if you see any.

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing and I make no profit from this. I do own Macy Leace Nady, so please ask before you use her, ok?

Two days later, Macy and Sally finally got a moment to talk.

"So you really like him, huh?" Sally noted as she sat with Macy in the infirmary. "I think he likes you too." She gave the younger girl a smile. "At the very least he cares about you a lot."

"I've been through a lot..." Macy rubbed her eyes, which felt gritty since she hadn't been sleeping well. She had refused any further sleeping medication after the first night. "I just don't know if things would work... and he's been hurt too, I don't want to make his pain any worse."

"You're a nice girl." Sally gave Macy a one-armed hug. "You've been through so much and you still care about others."

Macy shrugged. She had told Sally about her past in a quiet moment the day before, and so far she hadn't regretted it.

"You want to know a secret?" Sally leaned in, eyes sparkling. "Don't tell Wufei that I told you, but he did come in here and sleep next to you. The first thing he wanted to know when he got here was where you were and if you were ok."

Macy drew in a shaky breath; she felt on edge from the lack of sleep, and irrevocably bad for screaming at Wufei two days prior. He had left her alone for two days, generally, but she still spotted him keeping an eye on her every day.

"It won't work, it just won't work." Macy rubbed her eyes again to try and get rid of the tears building up. "I've never had a relationship, family or otherwise with a man that didn't go bad."

"He wouldn't hurt you." Sally was sure of this. That was clear. "You should've seen the way he was curled up with you while you were asleep."

"You wouldn't steal him away, would you?" Macy looked up at the older woman, her eyes worried. "You wouldn't, right?"

"He's a little young for me, sweetheart." Sally gave her another smile. "Trust me, he's all yours."

"Thank you... I'm just paranoid, I guess." Macy shrugged again. "Wufei and I have changed each other a lot since we met. We both started out really sexist towards the opposite sex, and we've both gotten so much better because of each other."

"You've changed each other for the better." Sally stood and started for the door. "That's a good sign, a very good sign."

Macy blinked, then looked down. Now that an outsider had noticed something between her and Wufei, Macy's fears were coming on full force.

She bit her lip and stared at the floor as Sally stepped out the door and shut it behind her. Could she really let this relationship happen, or would it all fall apart before it even started?

A/N: Ugh, this chapter wasn't planned, so it's so short. But I have a question for anyone who feels the need to reply, is my plotting ok? Honestly, I'm having trouble with my fiction, and I want to know. Tell the truth, ok? Thank you for reading, and thank you to anyone who tells me what they think.
