Protector
Heeeeeerrroooo! What did you do with them this time?!
Duo yelled from the kitchen as Heero walked down the hall tossing an apple and smiling to himself. He'd tell Duo where he'd hidden his crutches later. Right now, Heero decided it was payback time for all of the little pranks he'd pulled in the past. Relena had insisted on babying his own wound and now all that was left of it was a small, pink scar. It was barely noticeable unless you already knew to look for it. He heard Duo yell again and laughed out loud.
*Maybe this emotion stuff isn't so bad after all. It seems to be getting easier.*
He heard a crash from the kitchen as Duo fell over.
*And it certainly is more fun.*
He let out a small laugh and continued down the hall. As he took a bite of his apple, he saw Lady Une walk around the corner and waved to her.
Heero! Just the man I was looking for. I wanted to ask you something.
You did?
Yes. I was wondering if you'd like a new office at headquarters.
"Huh?
Well, we had someonerecently and his office is now vacant. It's bigger than the one you have now and it's in the main hall. Zechs and the others are right nearby. I figured that I'd ask if you'd like to have it before I give it to someone else.
Um, yeah. That'd be fine, I guess.
Great. I'll have someone move your things in over the weekend.
No. I'll take care of that myself.
As you wish. Say, that apple looks pretty good. I'm a bit hungry myself. Are there any left?
Plenty, unless Duo landed on them.
They heard another loud crash followed shortly by more screaming from Duo. Lady Une looked at Heero and frowned.
You hid his crutches again, didn't you?
He grinned and gave her a wink, at which she laughed.
Now I think I know what Relena sees in you.
Lady Une continued on her way to the kitchen, leaving Heero to his thoughts.
*What's that supposed to mean?*
He shrugged it off and continued on his way. His wandering took him to the foyer where so much had recently happened. He looked over at the small receiving room. Thankfully, the carpet had already been replaced after the events of a week ago. He turned and walked toward the stairs where he found a small piece of paper and picked it up. He dropped the apple as he read the four words written on it:
Let the games begin!
He threw the paper aside and ran up the stairs.
*Damn it! Not again! This is not happening again!*
Heero called her name as he flew down the hall and burst though her door. He saw a flash of pink lunge at him from the right, but he had no time to react. His eyes closed as whatever it was slammed into him. In a second he was lying flat on his back with a weight pressing down on him. He opened his eyes and was surprised to see Relena, wearing nothing more than a pink towel and smiling down at him. She quickly kissed him before he could say anything. He blinked quickly as she pulled away.
She cocked her head and smiled.
Game over. I win.
Heero scowled angrily at her. She sat up, still straddling him, and looked away.
I'm sorry, Heero. I-
She was cut off when Heero pulled her back down and pressed his lips to hers. He gently pushed her away and it was now Relena's turn to look shocked. His eyes narrowed and he gave her a mischievous grin.
Don't you ever scare me like that again.
He watched as her face brightened.
Fair enough.
Her mouth came down on his again as he reached with his foot and closed the door.

NOTES: Well folks, that's it! Maybe a bit unlikely, but it's a fanfic. It doesn't NEED to be likely! Please write to me and tell me what you think. I'm thinking I might do something like a prequel to show just how Heero changed, but if nobody is interested, what's the point? So please write and tell me your thoughts and if you have any ideas for the prequel or any other stories.
