Speak My Heart

Relena went through the same thing. Meetings whole day, home for dinner. This hopefully, would be different. She'd be coming home to Heero. 'He's never stayed this long. I wish he'd tell me what's wrong,' she thought.
Walking down the long corridor to her office, she smiled politely and made short conversation with passing ministers and people of authority. Turning left, she turned the knob of her office and gasped. Her office was filled with red roses. Strewn across the floor, on her desk, but something wasn't right. She sensed someone was in there. She could hear their heart beat in her head, suddenly frightened, she spoke.
"Who's in here. Tell me, who is this? Leave before I call sec-" her words were cut short when the person sitting in her chair facing the window, turned around and stood up. It was Heero. Running to him, she flung herself into his waiting arms, crying for joy.
"Heero, why? How come now?" she asked. Heero looked down at her, smelling her rose-scented hair, smelling her lavender perfume.
"I did this, because I care for you," he said. She broke out of his hug, lightly, so as to not show her rising frustration.
"You, you care about me? But... why this? You could have just told me," she explained. Heero heard her words, strained and slightly irritated.
'Why is this upsetting her? Doesn't she know I care?" he thought. Mentally kicking himself, he snapped out of self-to-self conversation.
"Of course I care for you. I thought this would be the best way to tell you," he spoke. Relena's eyes softened.
"Heero, I kind of knew you cared about me. Otherwise you wouldn't have stuck around for so long. I'm glad you did, because I care about you too," she spoke, voice sincere and hopeful.
She hugged him again, indulging herself in his spicy scent. Reluctant to let go and break the peaceful moment, she let go of him slowly.
"Heero, if you give me an hour, I can meet you downstairs for lunch. I need to straighten out some paperwork." she asked. Heero sighed. This wasn't working. He had a meeting at Preventer's HQ at noon and he couldn't ditch it.
"Relena, I'm sorry. I can't. Lady Une requested to see me at noon today. She has some important info for me. I wish I didn't have to, but duty calls," he trailed off. Hiding a frown, she smiled.
"Oh, it's alright. I understand. Well, I trust I'll see you at dinner then?" she asked, very hopeful.
"Of course. I'll be there. I'll see you at dinner Relena. I have to go now," Heero said, as he turned to leave.
Wanting to stall him, keep his presence for just a little longer, Relena opened her mouth to speak, but closed it. She didn't want to act like the fifteen year old, lovesick teenager she once was. She was twenty-three now. It was time to behave like an adult. She watched as he left, heart slightly sinking. Resuming her duties, she stopped every now and then to think about him. His rare smiles, only she saw, his eyes. They were so blue, with flecks of dark and light. She loved staring into them, his eyes were the closest thing she could get to his soul.
Heero exited the building quickly. One more second in a room with her would probably kill him. He wanted her more than that, but he just couldn't say the words. Reaching into his pockets, he pulled out the keys to his car, a black Honda. It was his pride and joy, something he had bought with his own money, not tapped from someone's bank account as he had done when he was younger. Getting in, he drove. Fast, but not breaking laws, he turned the corner and drove down a long street until he reached Preventer's HQ. He parked, locked the car and briskly walked to the entrance. Flashing the guards his ID, Heero walked inside to Lady Une's office. Tonight would be the night everything changed. Heero was going to make sure of that. He had to tell Relena how he really felt, he had to tell her what his heart felt. Long legs carryed him to Une's office. Knocking, he heard her disconnect a vid-link connection and call him in. Heero entered, only to come face-to-face with the rest of the ex-Gundam pilots.
"Hey Heero! Buddy... it's been too long," exclaimed Duo Maxwell.
Lady Une tightly smiled at him. "Heero, thank you for coming. We have some important issues to discuss. I trust you have the disc that we sent you to retrieve?" she asked, concerned.
Nodding his head yes, Heero sat down next to Trowa, who acknowledged him with a nod.
"Great, all we need is to decode the encryption and find out just what those blasted rebel soldiers are planning on doing to Sanq," Une explained. Quatre looked at her, eyes full of concern. She seemed different, out of herself.
'She still must be dealing with the death of Treize,' he thought. Une sat down and took the disc from Heero's hand.
"Thank you. Now, before we get to the bottom of this, I would like the security of Peacecraft mansion to be upgraded. Heero, Duo and WuFei, that is your job. Quatre, you and Trowa can do recon and try to locate their new base. I'm sure we'll figure out their plan soon enough. I heard from some ministers today, that the rebel soldiers were planning on releasing a deadly new strain of a disease the broke out many, many years ago. If that's the case, then we'll need Quatre to contact Iria to look into the possible vaccines or even antidotes for it," Une said. Quatre nodded his head in agreement and together, the 5 young men soon exited Lady Une's office.
"So... Heero. How are you and Relena going?" asked Duo. Heero tried to ignore the question posed by the American.
"Aw, come on, buddy. You can tell me. Trouble in paradise?" he questioned. Heero glared at Duo, with eyes harder than stone.
"Jeez... I can take a hint. Have you told her the truth yet?" Heero kept walking. Ignoring the personal questions that were asked by Duo.
"Look, Duo, I don't see how this is any of your business," Heero said. Looking abashed, Duo's shoulders slumped.
"But Heero, I thought we were best friends..." he trailed. Then it hit him. Duo really was his best friend. Nobody cared about how his relationship, or the mockery of a relationship he had with Relena, except Duo. Pausing, Heero turned around.
"Fine Duo. You really want to know how Relena and I are doing? Terrible. I told her that I cared about her today, and she became upset. Happy now?" Heero asked, slightly angered. Duo gasped, then glared at Heero.
"I swear to goodness, sometimes you're just so blind, Heero!" Duo exclaimed. Matching Duo's glare, Heero almost sneered at his 'best friend'.
"Ah! You're so blind. You can't tell a girl you care about them and expect them to melt! Look, I know you love her. Why can't you just say the damn words?!? If you don't tell her soon, you might lose her. Come on... I know this. I told Hilde I loved her, look at us now. We're more than happy, we're...engaged." Duo proclaimed. Heero's eyes almost bugged out.
"You and Hilde are engaged? Why didn't you tell me?" Heero asked. "Well, you never bothered to ask me and I thought it would be best to save it. See, now you know what to do. Just tell Lena. It's obvious she feels the same way about you," explained Duo. Once again, a rare smile broke out on Heero's face. Duo gasped and fell to the ground. He had finally seen Heero smile!
