Unexpected Places
Chapter 5

~*Relena*~
Hilde and I sat in the kitchen talking and catching up on what had been happening in our lives since the war. Hilde was lucky, she had found someone who really cared for her. Something that I just couldn't seem to get my hands on. I smiled and tried to be happy for my friend as she told me about all the sweet things Trowa has done for her.
I sighed and rested my head in my hands. I suddenly had the urge to cry. 'Heero, why didn't you kill me when you had the chance? Now I have to go on living with out you. Knowing that you never cared for me.' I hoped that Heero heard what I was saying to him, wherever he was now.
I excused myself from the kitchen and made my way down the hallway to the bathroom. I walked in and locked the door behind me. I put the lid down on the toilet and sat down. I let the tears poor down my face and the sobs break free from my throat. I distantly heard someone pounding on the door calling my name, but I blocked the sound out and focused on the hole in my heart. The hole that had been there since I had found out Heero...loved another man. I didn't find till several months later that it was Duo he loved.
I don't know how long I sat in the bathroom crying, but after awhile I felt someone wrapping their arms around me and rocked me back and forth.
~*Duo*~
I got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen, bumping into Relena as she made her way out. I looked over at Hilde. She had a puzzled look on her face. She shrugged her shoulders at my silent question. I sat down at the table.
"Do you hear that Duo?" Hilde asked as she looked around trying to figure where the sound was coming from. I listened closely trying to hear it. Suddenly I heard cries of anguish coming from the bathroom. I jumped up and ran to the back of the house.
I tried to open the bathroom door but it was locked. "Relena! Are you okay?" I shouted as I pounded on the door, hoping that she would open the door. "Let me in Relena!" I continued to pound on the door. Wufei pushed me out of the way and bent down to pick the lock. He had the door open in no time. He moved out of the way to let me through. I found Relena sitting on the toilet crying her eyes out. I stood her up and caught her in a warm and comforting embrace. I rocked back and forth on my heels trying to sooth her while whispering 'everything will be okay' in her ear. Soon she fell asleep in my arms. I knew that it would be a mistake but I brought Relena into my room and set here down on the bed. I covered her up and shut the door behind me as I left the room.
Somewhere in all the confusion Quatre and Trowa had gotten back and they were in the kitchen putting away the groceries. I walked into the kitchen and rummaged through the bags, looking at what they had bought.
"Oh, you got some pocky!" I pulled the package out of the bag and ripped it open. I immediately shoved two pieces in my mouth. "Thanks guys," I said, chewing on my pocky. I shoved the package into Quatre's hands and told him to eat some. He took out one and broke it in half. He put one piece in his mouth then handed the other half to Trowa, who popped it in his mouth and chewed on it.
I walked into the living room and sat down next to Wufei, who had found the remote and was channel surfing.
"Anything on Wu-man?" I asked as I plopped down on the couch next to him.
He grunted, "No." I watched him surf for awhile before I took the remote from him and turned it to Nick to watch Sponge Bob Square Pants.
~*Hilde*~
After Trowa and Quatre were done putting away the groceries I walked up to Trowa and wrapped my arms around him from the back. He gave my arm a small squeeze before wiggling out of the embrace. I shot him a puzzled look but he was looking off in a different direction. I followed his gaze and found that he was staring at Quatre.
I grabbed Trowa's wrist and dragged him out of the kitchen and into the hallway where we were alone.
He shot me a puzzled look, "What was that for?" He asked as he looked back towards the kitchen.
You're still in love with Quatre, aren't you?" I looked up at Trowa. The look on his face told me I had guessed right.
"I...Hilde...er...I'm sorry," He said looking down at his feet.
"It's okay Trowa. I'm happy as long as you are," I brought my face up and gave him a small kiss on the cheek before turning away and walking back into the living room. I sat down in the recliner and watched Sponge Bob with Duo and Wufei.
~*Trowa*~
I walked back into the kitchen after talking with Hilde. I felt horrible for what I had did to her. I thought that if I dated her that maybe I would fall in love with her and forget about Quatre. But it had never worked. All this time I had been leading her on. I sat down at the table and buried my face in my hands. I felt Quatre's presence behind me. I turned around and grabbed his hand. 'It's time to be true to my heart.' I thought as I brought his hand up to my lips and softly kissed the tips of each of his fingers. His brought my chin up so that I was looking right into his sea-green eyes.
"T...Trowa," My name came out shaky.
"Ai shiteiru, chibi ichi," I whispered as I pulled him into my arms and brushed my lips against his. He gasped and pushed his face forward and kissed me fiercely. We broke apart and Quatre's face broke into a smile as he snuggled closer in my arms. I smiled against his hair. I was in true bliss.
~*Duo*~
I walked into the kitchen to get a drink, but I stopped when I saw Quatre and Trowa making out. I chuckled at the sight and went back to the couch. 'At least someone is happy and in love.' I snuggled closer the arm of the couch, wishing that Heero was around to hold me and keep me warm.
~*Relena*~
I woke up with my face in a pillow. I inhaled expecting to smell the familiar smell, but instead smelled a scent that I had only smelled a few times in my life. Heero. I remembered the first time that I had gotten close enough to inhale his scent. It was when we had danced together at the party just before he left for another mission. I sighed and buried my face in the pillow. Suddenly I wondered where I was. The last thing I remembered was going into the bathroom. I sat up and looked around. Duo. I was in Heero and Duo's room. I got out of the bed and walked out into the living room.
"Are you okay Relena-san?" Duo asked as I came out, his face showing his concern for me.
"Hai, I'm fine. Thank you Duo," Somehow I knew that Duo had been the one to comfort me in the bathroom when I was crying. I settled down on the couch between Wufei and Duo and looked at the television.
"What the hell are we watching?" I asked as I watched this yellow square thing dance across the screen.
"Sponge Bob Square Pants," Duo shouted happily in my ear. Everyone groaned.
