Cross My Heart

Disclaimer: I don't own GW or the song "Cross my Heart". That belongs to S Club 7. It's
from their new CD '7' and I love this song! It's sooooo good! Ahem, now, on to the
songfic…

{Cross my heart
We say
Cross my heart
I'll be}

It was a cloudy, overcast day for the whole world. The whole world mourned the loss of
the one they loved. They mourned for Relena Peacecraft.
Heero Yuy stood among the gathering crowd. He stood beside Duo Maxwell, who had
his arm around Hilde. She had tears running down her face.
'Who wasn't?' Heero thought sadly. He watched as people threw roses and other flowers
down on the coffin.
'Relena…'

{We got it all
And we'd be fools to let it go
Cos I need you more and more
You're my life and I live
For your love that you give
And although my journey's long, I'll soon be home}

'Soon…soon,' Heero thought. He thought back to when Relena was still alive, the last
times he had seen her.

::Flashback::

Relena was at a diplomat party, dancing with some of the delegates sons' and
grandsons'.
She may not have been completely happy in their arms, but she wasn't lonely either.
Heero could only watch in dismay as she gladly accepted offer after offer. Quatre had
then asked her, and Heero felt as if it was his destiny to ask her then.
"May I cut in?" he asked from behind Relena. Quatre moved aside, and left them.
"Heero," Relena looked up at him. "You still gonna kill me?"
Heero paused. The song ended and they stopepd dnacing, still in each other's embrace.
He leaned forward and kissed her gently on the lips.
"No."
He then disappeared into the crowd, leaving Relena there, speechless.

{O-o-o-o-own
It's gonna be so hard on my own
But I won't be alone
Cross my heart and tell no lies
No-one's leaving you behind
Just because we said goodbye, baby}

Another retailiating colony. Relena sighed and looked over the paperwork needed to be
done and decided it could wait until tomorrow.
"Relena."
Snapping her head up, Heero stood in her door-way.
"Heero…you came," she answered him breathlessly.
"Yeah," he replied. "It's nearly midnight. Do you need a ride?"
She nodded, taking up his offer. Offering her his arm, Relena and him walked to the car
and arrived at her house near one.
"Millardo isn't going to be happy about this late night," she chuckled slightly as they sat
in the car, staring ahead at the looming mansion.
"Probably not. You better go before you make it worse," Heero smirked. "Night Relena."
He kissed her on the cheek and drove away.
'Heero…why do you run away from me?' Relena thinks and says, "goodbye."

{Cross my heart I do believe
In my thoughts and in my dreams
I'll be taking you with me, baby
Sometimes I think
That I can feel you breathin' on me
You're there so deep inside
And I like, what I feel
Though it's not always real
It helps me carry on, till I come home}

Heero is on a mission. While battling MD's and MS's, he is corner and goes to his last
defense.
His hand rests near the self-destruct button.
'No, wait!' a little voice in his head cried out in vain.
"Why?"
'Isn't there something in your life worth staying?'
"No…"
'Think again…'
He thinks of his friends; his only friends. Duo is waving madly at him laughing. "Come
on, Buddy! We don't want to be late!"
Another picture forms in his mind. This one is of a girl with honey-blonde hair and blue-
green eyes.
"Relena…"
He moves his hand away and pulls out his beam cannon.
"I'll come home."

{O-o-o-o-own
It's gonna be so hard on my own
But I won't be alone
Cross my heart and tell no lies
No-one's leaving you behind
Just because we aid goodbye, baby
Cross my heart I do believe
In my thoughts and in my dreams}

::Back to the Present::

Heero looks down at the coffin, and places a hand on its smooth surface.
"Oh, Relena," he mutters, and a single tear rolls down his cheek. Duo notices this and
lays a comforting hand on his shoulder, also glancing at the coffin.
"She wouldn't want to see you like this, heero," Duo says, but with a glance at his
friend, he sighs and says, "take care, Buddy…" but there is no emotion in his voice. He
looks dead like all the other Gundam Pilots, and Millardo and Noin seem the worst.
'Why did I not tell you sooner?' Heero thinks, cringing. 'I love you Relena…now and
forever…'

{I'll be taking you with me baby
Dream, a dream, a dream, a dream, a dreaming
Wherever you are you're near me
Please believe, believe, believe, believe, in
Whatever I say I cross my heart
Cross my heart and tell no lies}

Heero leaves the cemetary and walks to his apartment. There, he pulls out his long
forgotten gun.
'I've missed carrying this around,' he thinks while putting in the cartidge. He lets his
mind wander back to when Relena died.

::Flashback::

"Relena, be careful. There's been a bunch of unstable attacks on small aircrafts in that
area. Your plane is a big target, and I'm sure that whomever is behind this will want to
hunt you down," Quatre told Relena in front of Heero. "Heero, you better go with her, in
case."
"No, Qautre, I'll be fine," Relena had smiled. "Heero can ride the Wing Gundam along
side of me, but not on the plane."
Heero grudgingly agreed to that, and they rode off into space.
Soon, Mobile Dolls greeted them and Heero left the protection of the plane for safety
reasons.
Unknown to him, was that was the whole plan. The bomb set on the plane went off,
epolding it and killing everyone on the plane, including Relena.
"RELENA!" Heero yelled. He couldn't do anything to help her…

::back to the present::

{No one's leaving you behind
Just because we aid goodbye, baby
Cross my heart I do believe
In my thoughts and in my dreams}

'My thoughts are with you forever, Relena,' Heero thought, and pulled the trigger.

{I'll be taking you with me, baby}
