Only Meeting And Parting, Again And Again
1755 A.D
Hesitantly, she lifted her hand and rapped on the door lightly. She waited a moment or two before she heard someone on the other side fumbling with the door. It opened slightly, and the dark-haired boy she came to see answered.
"Can I help you?" He asked. Relena tilted her head quizzically. He hadn't even opened the door wide enough to stick his hand out.
"Hello, my name is Relena Peacecraft. I live just down the road with my brother, Milliardo." She said lightly, smiling a winning smile. "I came to welcome you to town. Er...what's your name?"
The door opened wider, and he stepped out, his face stoic. He stood a few steps from her, but the distance in his eyes made him seem miles from her.
"My name is Heero Yuy." He said stiffly. "Thank you."
"My pleasure. I made this for you," She handed him the small dish. Underneath the cloth was about a dozen sugar cookies. "As a welcoming present."
He took the dish and nodded. Relena winced at his coldness. "All right...I'll just go."
An alarmed look overcame him. He reached for her as she turned away.
"No...I'm sorry, tiring day...that's all. Feel free to come in, though I might not be much for conversation." He gave her a feeble smile. Relena smiled back.
"All right." She nodded. Someone from the inside stumbled out and fell into Heero. She recodnized the Maxwell boy.
"Heero...let's go to the saloon...this place is a pit...it's really boring!! Quatre's no fun...he's just fiddle-di-diing with that...that...whatever-the-hell-it-is..." The boy said excitedly. He looked over his shoulder. "Quatre, what's that damn thing called again?"
"A violin." Someone said politely from inside.
"Violin." The boy finished, looking proud of himself for some reason.
"No thank you, Duo. Go on without me." Heero smiled. Duo shrugged.
"Sure thing, brother." And he leaped off the porch and headed to the stable.
"Duo," Heero called, grinning. "Try not to bring home more than two girls tonight, all right?"
"No promises!!" Duo hollered before heading into the stables. Heero turned back to Relena.
"Since he's gone, you might just be safe." Heero grinned. Relena looked back to the stable.
"He's very vulgar." Relena said stiffly.
"He's not like that all the time. Duo is very nice. Just won't get tied down, that's all."
Relena looked at him sideways. "There are a lot of rumors about him."
"I promise you," Heero said firmly. "That every child born since he came here is the legitimate son or daughter of the womans' husband. No matter what they may claim. Duo has morals like the rest of us."
Relena smiled. "I suppose so."
"Do you still want to come in?" Heero gestured toward the open door. Relena nodded, and followed him inside.
"You have a very lovely house." She said, looking around. The inside was filled with strange antiques from foreign contries. "Where did you get all of this? How did you afford it all?"
"I travel a lot." Heero mumured, going into no detail. "My brothers finally called me back to America."
Relena looked around. "Where is your other brother?"
Heero led her into the Library, where a certain Quatre Winner was playing his violin perfectly, oblivious to the world.
"Quatre." Heero broke in loudly enough for Quatre to hear him. Quatre put the violin down and looked at Relena. He smiled and took her hand to his lips and kissed it(perfect lil gentleman, isn't he?).
"My name is Relena Peacecraft. It's nice to meet you." She smiled, unable to hide the red creeping into her cheeks.
"Quatre Winner. Nice to meet you." Quatre nodded. He looked to Heero. "I'm going to follow Duo and make sure he doesn't get into any trouble, all right?"
Heero nodded. Quatresaid goodbye to Relena, set his violin away and left. Relena sat down across from Heero, and there was a very silent moment.
"Where did you live before?" Relena asked, trying to bring about a conversation. Heero looked a bit uncomfortable before answering.
"Lots of places. I can't really be specific." He said, breaking her eye contact.
"Er...what do you do for a living?"
"I'm on a break...my *job*," He looked clearly uncomfortable, "gave me three weeks. Then I head to England."
"Sounds wonderful, to be able to travel so much." Relena said dreamily. "I've never been anywhere. My brother keeps me on a very short chain." And she laughed. Heero smiled.
"Not with my business." He said, more to himself than to her.
*If he wasn't so shy, I think he'd be the item of every girls' gossip by tomorrow...* Relena thought. *How lucky I must be,*
Heero sighed. "I'm very sorry. My heart isn't into company today. Would you mind if we met again another time?"
"I'd love it." Relena said truthfully. Heero smiled a private smile. He didn't get close to many people...or, rather he *did*, but it wasn't for much more than a moment. The girl was very nice and straightforward. He could clearly see himself getting closer to her.
"Thank you very much for the food. I hope I'll be able to eat one or two if my brother doesn't get to them first." Heero smiled, walking with her to the door.
"I can always make more." She smiled. Heero nodded. "So long, Miss Relena."
"Goodbye, Heero." She said lightly, stepping off the porch.
Heero sighed and walked back into the house. As the door shut, he found himself again locked in memories.

"That's him...." Relena breathed, looking down at the young boy entering her class. *The boy from yesterday! I'd recognize him anywhere!*
"My name is Heero Yuy. It's a pleasure." He said stiffly.
*That sounds so familiar...*
