"It's been a long time since we last met nanashi. Maybe I should pay you a visit. Just like old times, eh?"
~~Earth~~
"I want to say thanks. You know for being so supportive even though I know I must've sounded crazy," Hitomi smiled at Relena once everyone got back to its original group.
"You're welcome. I really believed you. Even though we've just met, I feel like… we have a lot in common I suppose," Relena really meant what she said. She did feel like she and Hitomi had a lot in common. Even though she wasn't sure what it was they had in common, but it was this feeling, a kind of bond that just linked them together.
After that, an awkward silence filled the space around them. They didn't know what to say to each other. Suddenly they heard Duo giving a LOUD laugh. They both turned to see why, but only saw Merle giggling. Heero took this chance and looked at Relena. She caught the glance. She wanted to hold it, but… Heero turned away and returned to look at Van. She sighed and returned to Hitomi.
Hitomi saw the glance that passed between Heero and Relena. She saw how they both wanted to say something, but… I should help them. She broke the silence that was between them and nudged Relena playfully, "Do you like him?"
Relena looked surprised. How did she know? Is it that obvious? "Who-who are you talking about?" She couldn't have been more obvious.
"Oh you know, that brunette, over
there with Van. The one in the green tank top. I think he likes you," Hitomi
pointed towards Heero's direction. I think I've hit a jackpot.
"Oh, him. Um… he likes me? You think?" Relena scolded herself; she said the last part with a little too much enthusiasm.
Hitomi almost burst out laughing. This is way too easy. "Do I sense a crush here? What's the deal with you two? I mean, geez it's pretty obvious you like each other, yet I don't think you told each other yet have you?"
Relena was a bit uncomfortable to talk about the subject, but then again, she had bottled it up for so long, it felt good to let it out, even a little bit.
"No, we didn't' tell each other yet. I don't know, he wouldn't like it. I don't know… just don't know. But you know, enough investigating me, who was that guy that was holding you, he looks like Heero. Are you two together or what?" Relena decided that it was time to change the topic. After all too much talking about her and Heero's relationship may have some serious after affects, like her going insane.
"Okay… Van… he's, I don't know… I don't know what we are. But… I can definitely say I have feelings. I hope he have feelings too, but…it's just very... unstable I guess. But my situation is still better than yours," Hitomi knew she may seem a bit childish, no cross that, very juvenile, but it's better than been too serious and start to lose her sanity. Yep being childish definitely has its appeals.
"I guess we've both got our work cut out for us," Relena said putting her arm around Hitomi's shoulder, they both turned to see their respective crushes. Yep, they've both got a lot of work to do if they want to have the guys of their dreams.
"Hello. I'm the chief of Preventer. I assume you are the King of Fanelia?" Lady Une had wanted to start the conversation casually. But, it seemed that she was only able to start casual conversations with Noin, Mariemaia and the late Treize-sama.
"Hello. Yes, I am the king of Fanelia, which is a country in Gaea," Van felt extremely uncomfortable. This was someone he didn't' know. Plus he had never expected this, she was a woman, yet it seemed that she had the highest status here in the room. She has that air of pride that Hitomi used to carry with her. He looked towards the boy with the unruly hair and the steel-like eyes. He's very quiet, very wise. Van extended his hand toward the chief; it's best to make a good impression. Lady Une caught his gesture and shook his hand with a firmness to show that no matter how the woman in his kingdom acted, she was one with seriousness and business. Van moved on to a tall boy with bangs that covered one eye.
"Hi," Van said politely.
"Hi," Trowa liked him. He was quiet, but not too quiet like Heero to come off as rude. He's a find ruler. He's like Heero in some ways. They'd find a lot in common. They shook hands and Van moved on to Heero.
"Hi," Van repeated.
"Hn," Heero gave back. Unlike the others, he was unwilling to seem polite, or at least he's not trying too hard.
Van got the point and just tried
to smile politely. He's an intriguing boy…
Suddenly a sharp head turning was caused by Duo's sharp laughs. As everyone realized it was nothing, except maybe Duo's insanity got back to his or her conversations. He caught Heero's gaze move over to that girl beside Hitomi. Hn, looks like he's not that stone cold after all.
"So, Van, welcome to Earth, and may I introduce to you once again Trowa and Heero. They're both ex-Gundam pilots, now Preventer, working under me." Lady Une tried to make conversations with the new visitor.
Van looked at the each of them again and smiled, after all,
Van was a King, he knows how to handle political stuff, and he's an expert when
it comes to pretending you like someone even if you don't. I have a feeling
we're going to get to know each other well. I don't believe this, but it seems like
we have a lot in common. Not only in the way we look.
Heero and Van, they look quiet similar, they'll be good friends, if Heero don't scare him away first. I hope they become good friends. Heero needs someone he can talk to that understands him; Trowa gave a little smile and stared at the soon-to-be-friends.
Suddenly the door swung open. In came a pretty girl about fifteen, sixteen, blonde haired blue eyed. She looked directly at Trowa and whispered, "Nanashi…"
