Well. I'm back! Enjoy while I go work on Midnight Mayhem…^_^
Rest & Relaxation: Chapter 8
She rose her hand and gently knocked…
~KNOCK KNOCK~
She waited patiently at the door, listening to the gentle footsteps near the door. The knob turned and the door opened and Relena saw Heero with his gun in his hand.
"Hi, Heero…"Relena said nervously.
"It's really late. Aren't you supposed to be in bed?" he asked.
"Well…" Relena looked down at her feet.
"What?" he asked coldly.
"Well…you see…the wind is making a howling noise and I can't really fall asleep. It's not that I'm afraid or anything, it's just that I want to fall asleep and I was wondering…um…ifIcouldsleepinyourroomtonight (again)…but I understand if you said no…"she blurted.
"Fine, come in, but I don't think Zechs would approve," he said in a monotone voice. Heero walked back in to his trusty laptop and began to type again. Relena walked in slowly, clutching onto a pillow. His bed was covered in sheets and his floor had a few articles of clothing placed about. He was a messy sleeper. Relena sat down on his bed and looked at his computer screen. He sure seemed to be engulfed by it, his hands moving at miles per hour.
"Heero…um…thanks," Relena said kindly.
"…"
"Okay, then, I'll be going to sleep now. Good night."
Relena lowered herself onto the bed and rolled up into a little ball. Soon enough, she fell asleep, comfortable and happy. Heero heard her soft breathing and stared away from the screen and to her. His lips curled into a small grin and he got up from his chair. Heero walked over and tucked the sleeping Relena in a little more, just in case she got cold. Relena stirred a little and Heero began to type again. He listened to the wind outside, howling and whistling an eerie tune. Relena had the right to be scared. He stared at his watch, which read three in the morning. He stretched out a little and looked around the room.
"Where am I supposed to sleep?" Heero whispered to himself.
He pulled an extra blanket from the closet and wrapped it around himself. He then sat on a recliner near the bed and closed his eyes.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was pretty late when Relena woke up. The sun had already risen high into the sky and she could hear the chattering of everyone downstairs. She moved loose strands of her hair off her face and sat up on his bed. She looked around and saw no sign of Heero. She threw the blankets off the bed and walked sleepily out the door and down the stairs. Yawning, Relena met everyone at the table.
"What time is it?" she asked sleepily.
"A quarter to twelve, sleeping beauty," Duo joked.
"Already?!" Relena panicked.
"Don't worry! We wouldn't go anywhere without you. Actually, we're planning to take another trip to the swimming hole before we leave tomorrow today at about one, so we got plenty 'o time!" Hilde laughed.
"Leaving so soon?" Relena sighed.
"Sad, but true," Quatre whispered.
Everyone resumed brunch and the talking ceased. The thought of their vacation ending was too sad. At around, twelve, everybody headed their separate ways and got changed into their bathing suits. After grabbing towels and of course…snacks…they trekked to the pool in the nearby woods and set down their towels. Wufei immediately snuck away to do some meditation and Sally stalked him from behind the bushes. Duo pigged out and then jumped into the pool and slowly sank to the bottom from his cramps. Hilde rescued him and gave him mouth to mouth…err…let's not go there. Trowa started acting like Tarzan, flipping from tree to tree while Cathy was practicing her knife throwing. Zechs and Noin were having diving contests and Quatre played with his rubber ducky and Dorothy started…um…plucking her eyebrows, (shudder).
Meanwhile, Relena couldn't shake the thought of her vacation being over so quickly. She also snuck away, to a different area from Wufei's. The thought of going back to diplomatic relations and being alone was so depressing and nerve racking. Being back here with all her friends, especially Heero made her so happy and at the same time, comforting. Relena didn't want to go back to a world without them. She sat herself under a tree and began to stifle a cry. Why was she getting all these mood swings all of a sudden? Everything confused her.
The soft grass under tickled her slim legs that were partially covered by her pastel colored spring dress. Her golden hair spilled down her shoulders, a little damp at the tips from her tears. Heero could sense her loneliness and her sorrow about leaving. He just wanted to wrap his arms around her and whisper words of comfort into her ear, but that was just a fantasy.
"Ooooooo…Heero and Relena sittin' in a tree…k-i-s-s-i-n-g-…" Duo chirped happily.
Heero spun his head around and immediately aimed for his neck. Heero's face was a shade of bright crimson and his teeth clenched together. "Oi, oi, Heero…chill…"Duo suggested nervously.
"Duo-kunnnn!" a feminine voice squealed, "I'm getting lonely!"
"Coming, Hilde!" Duo yelled back. "Well Heero, pleasure chatting but there is a damsel in distress waiting. Ciao!" With his words, he dashed off. Sighing, Heero tucked his hands into his pockets and headed towards the lakeside…that is until he stopped dead in his tracks. A brilliant idea had struck him and he needed all the time he could get to prepare. Heero made a mad run back to the hotel with a big grin all over his face…
