Chapter 10: What lies beyond the void
Heero watched from the observation area while Relena was in surgery to reapir a punctured kindey. He paced back and forth for the two hours she was in surgery. The doctor entered the small waiting room. "Are you her family?" he inquired.
Milliardo stepped forward, "I am her brother. Please tell me how she's doing," he spoke softly with a waiver to his voice. The doctor told all that she would be fine and she should wake up soon. Heero asked if he could see her. The doctor complied and allowed him to stay with her.
Heero entered the small, brightly lit room. It was depressing to see her in such a state. He strode to her bedside and took her hand carefully in his own. He sighed and sat by her side for the next three hours.
***3 Hours Later***
She woke to find her hand captured by something wonderfully warm and soft. She looked to where her hand lie to see him resting his head on the side of her bed. She smiled and whispered, "Heero?" His head bolted up. He gazed upon her with loving care. He gently touched her cheek and kissed her forehead.
"I am so happy you're ok, Relena," he spoke softly. (A.N: Remember, this is an AU ficcie. So Heero is VERY OOC!) She only smiled on him. She opened her arms for a hug and he complied, gathering her into a sweet kiss as well. He pulled away slowly. She looked into his eyes.
"Where's Brodi?" she inquired. He shook his head, placing a finger on her soft lips. She laid back down and fell into a deep sleep. Heero smiled on his angel. He would not interrupt her. Milliardo came in and placed a gently hand on her arm. He smiled, seeing how much this young boy cared for his sister. They would be happy, even if he had to hurt someone, namely Brodi. Relena deserved this happiness for once. So he kissed his sister on her forehead and smiled at Heero, leaving the room as silently as he entered.
***One Week Later***
"Heero, where are we going?" she questioned, the blindfold effectively hiding her view. He laughed and kept leading her along to the ballroom. All of the parties attendants stood silent until the girl of the hour appeared. As Heero removed her blindfold... "SURPRISE!!" She gasped. All of her friends were there as well as the gang. Relena turned around to Heero and threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. "Thank you," she mouthed to him. He just nodded. She turned again to find Duo smiling brightly waiving a BIG chocolate cake in the air.
"Wewena, hab dome cak wi mi," he blabered with his mouth full. Relena laughed at his antics, accepting the cake. Everyone ate and talked, laughed and joked. Life was great. Relena thought for a moment and turned to everyone.
"You guys, I just realized something," she spoke. All attention turned to her. "This is our last week together. We graduate in three days!" she said, a tinge of regret hitting her voice. "But don't worry, we've got it covered," she spoke. Heero rose, striding to her. All eyes looked at the pair wiht question.
Taking her hand he commanded, "Follow me and you'll see." Everyone rose and followed. Outside there was a line of moving trucks, each filled with the stuff from everyones appartments. "We have more than enough room here for us all, and seeing as how we all have scholarships to the colleges in this area, we should all live together," he concluded with a smile. Duo's face brightened.
"You mean I get to live with you Heero buddy? YAY!!!!" he jumped up and down, acting like a teeny-bopper, crazy for their favorite band. Heero just nodded. Duo smiled and hugged his best friend, being goofy as always. Hilde smiled at him.
"No Duo, you get to live with ME!" she spoke. His eyes widened. Life was GREAT! Relena smiled at them all.
"Well, hurry up and move in. I'm not waiting forever, ya know," she laughed. She turned to Heero, "Thank you, babe." He smiled and mouthed, 'No problem.' She kissed him on the cheek. Everything was... Perfect. "Line up, guys, I want a picture of us all," she commanded. "CHEESE!" ~*Click, Flash!*~ Perfection.
~Fine~
