Takes place in AC 200
Relena is sitting alone in her bedroom, at her wooden desk, a pen resting in her elegant fingers. Sighing,
she rested her head on her hand, propped up by her elbow resting on the desk edge. Staring out of her
window, she pulled out a piece of paper and began to write.
After she was done, she sealed it in an enveloped and sent it, hoping he was where she thought he was.

L2 COLONY, MAXWELL JUNKYARD:
Duo received the mail for today, noticing a letter was for Heero. Curiosity got the better of him, as he tore
open the letter and ducked behind the building as he read it. Unfortunately, he didn't notice that he was
right under Heero's room or that the window was open.
Artificial ran began to pour down and Duo cursed. 'Can't read Rel's letter anymore.' He went inside and
placed it on the coffee table. Hilde called him, and Duo's stomach called.
Neither of them saw the figure take the letter back to his room.
Opening the letter, Heero sat on the window-still, one leg popped up, the other hanging loosely.
"Dear Heero," He began…
~~ Hello
Can you hear me?
Am I gettin' through to you? ~~
"Dear Heero,
Hello. Is it late there? Is Hilde laughing? Are you alone? Cause I'm trying to explain something to you.
Something's wrong. I can't get enough of you, Heero. I want to be by your side. All the time. But lately,
you just don't sound the same."
Heero tensed up. 'Relena sent this. How did she know I was here with Duo? Doesn't she get it? I can't
love her.' Heero glanced up at the sound of Hilde setting the table for the three of them. Duo was moaning
about being too hungry to wait, and Hilde was scolding him for eating some cookies before dinner.
Turning his attention back to the letter, Heero felt he should AT LEAST finish it. The rain outside began
to pour down harder, cloaking the city in a gray blanket. A faint mist could be seen in the distance. Heero
sighed and read.
~~ Hello
Is it late there?
There's a laughter on the line
Are you sure you're there alone?
Cause I'm
Tryin' to explain
Somethin's wrong
Ya just don't sound the same ~~
"I'm so silly, sending a letter to you when you and I both know you don't love me. Well, then I won't say
anything to upset you. Everything for you, Heero. So, is it late there? I'm sure Hilde and Duo are laughing
right now, right? But please, listen! Something's wrong…you didn't sound the same in your last call to
Millardo…
Please, go outside, Heero. Think of me. I want you to. Kiss the rain, embrace it. Whenever I'm gone from
you, kiss the rain. When I need you, I'll kiss the rain."
Confused, Heero looked up from the letter, puzzlement being one of his never seen traits, and grabbed his
trench from his chair.
"I'm leaving for a bit," he said monotonously to Hilde and Duo as he passed the kitchen by and out the
back door, the letter still in his hands.
He walked a few block to the nearest park, and stood on the highest hill, looking over the city. Peace was
won, his heart was lost, he was nothing. He didn't deserve Relena. Why couldn't she give up?? Leave
him, move on.
Heero scrowled. Clenching the letter tighter, he felt it crumple, and he let it drop to the ground.
'I'm moving on to L3 tomorrow. She can't find me there if she thinks I'm here,' Heero finally decided,
and let the rain wash away Relena's letter….wash her from his heart.
~~ Why don't you
Why don't you
Go outside
Go outside
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone, too long ~~
* * * * *
EARTH:
Another letter came for Heero. And another and another after that, Running out of options, he returned to
Earth to hide, hoping Relena would forget him, and move on. But every time he was unsuccessful.
After three months of being letter-free, though, he sighed in relief, knowing Relena had moved on.
Shuffling through the Preventer mail he received, his eyes rested on an unmarked envelope. Curious, he
opened it up, and Relena's handwriting came back to him.
"Heero. Please, don't run. Just listen to what I have to say"— the letter was crumpled instantly. He
ignored all her letters she sent for weeks, expecting her to show. She never did, making Heero restless.
"She's trying to make me paranoid, Duo!" Heero told Duo over the vid-phone.
Duo laughed. "No, she wants you to hear what she has to say. Have you ever read to the end of her
letters?" And receiving an answer, Duo smirked. "She might have been trying to tell you something. Like,
she's engaged."
Heero's head snapped up. "She is?!"
"Kidding, but you never know."
Heero thought about this, and decided to read one of her letters for once. But they never came.
* * * * *
AC 202:
Heero had moved on with his life, he stayed in Preventers, but had warmed up to people a bit nowadays,
but still felt a bit sad that Relena had not written. He missed reading a portion of her letters, even if he
crumpled them before he finished.
~~ If your lips
Feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn.
Keep in mind
We're under the same sky
And the nights
As empty for me, as for you
If ya feel
You can't wait till morinin'
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain ~~
Finally, one last one came. Heero opened it, and actually read through it. His eyes widened when he read
it, realizing it to be lyrics to a song he knew. At the end was a message.
~~ Hello
Do you miss me?
I hear you say you do
But not the way I'm missin' you
What's new?
How's the weather?
Is it stormy where you are?
Cause I'm so close but it feels like you're so far
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew
What I'm left imagining
In my mind
In my mind
Would you go
Would you go
Kiss the rain
And you'd fall over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips
Feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
and wait for the dawn ~~
Heero —
I guess maybe you'll read this one finally. Well, I wanted to tell you so long ago, how much I felt, but
over these years, I've realized that I was tired of waiting for you. So here's it plain and simple that you
can even get it.
I hate you. You, the way you act to me, how you ignore me, speak coolly. Heero, you never cared, and my
guess is that you never will. Enjoy your life as much as you can now. Live it to its fullest if you can. Enjoy
your life.
I'm not involved you once said, and now, that applied to me.
Relena
Heero's hand shook as he reread it, thinking he missed a PS saying j/k or a signature that was Duo's.
Finding none, he sank onto his couch, clutching the letter tightly in his hands that the knuckles were
white.
'Can't…be…can it…be true? She…hates me?' Heero asked himself, and placed the letter carefully down
on the table.
'Got what you wanted, though, didn't you?' A nasty voice in his head asked him. 'You never loved her, so
why do you feel this way?'
"Because, she's my mission. I must protect her. How can I if she hates me?" Heero asked aloud.
'I dunno. You figure it out, you're the ::Perfect Soldier:: you know what to do. But one thing…' the voice
paused.
'You blew it.'
~~ Keep in mind
We're under the same skies
And the nights
As empty for me, as for you
If you feel
You can't wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Oooooohhhhh
Kiss the rain
Oooooohhhhh
Kiss the rain ~~
Relena sighed and her hand shook as she signed her last letter to him. She was sitting at the same desk
where she wrote her first letter to him — everything was the same. She was thinking of him, but the first
time was with a passion, now the passion was hate.
She stifled a sob, and lay her head on her arms as she flung herself on her bed.
"This is the way it has to be…you don't love me, now I must tell you." She sobbed into the teddy bear he
gave her so long ago.
"So long," she murmured. "Time to move on…stop pretending. Goodbye, Heero."
Placing her phone off the hook, she locked her room door, closed the blinds, and pulled out a letter
opener.
One piece of paper remained, next to Relena's Last Will and Testiments. It was a simple note, explaining
why, and how. But one piece was still a mystery to who the last sentence was directed at.
Goodbye, Ai shiteru
— Relena
~~ Hello
Can ya hear me?
Can ya hear me?
