Heero decided to leave the café. Being around Dorothy made him feel uneasy, almost repulsed. He was ashamed of himself for thinking things would be better this way. He felt dirty, soiled because of the words he said and the things he did. He had to tell Relena how he felt. If he didn't, then he would literally burst.
Looking up, he noticed how beautiful the night sky was. Bright stars lit up the dark indigo curtain of night. Seldom cars rolled by and the songs of night creatures floated throughout the air. Breaking into a run, Heero thought that it would be the most efficient way for him to reach Relena, his destiny. He ran, feeling the cement being pounded under his boots. Each stride, long and meaningful, full of hope. Turning a large bend, the Peacecraft mansion came into view. It looked splendid at night. Sparse lights were on, some from the rooms of guests, servants and many others. He nodded to one of the security guards before entering.
He reminded himself to be thankful he was head of Relena's security, although he hadn't really been doing a swell job of it at the moment. He walked through the east wing of the garden towards her balcony. Laughter floated around the shrubs and flowers.
'Relena's laugh,' thought Heero.
He longed to hear her voice, light and lilting. Almost as though she were singing. Regret filled his heart once again, and he noticed another voice laughing along with Relena's.
'Could it be? Was it Quatre? What was he doing in Relena's room?' Heero broke into a run once more and quickly ended up behind a low bush near her balcony.
"Oh Quatre, I love you so much. I'm glad we're engaged. I can't wait to become Mrs. Relena Peacecraft-Winner," she said, heart full of happiness. Quatre laughed and hugged her closer to him.
"Yes. I can't wait until we're married. We'll have such gorgeous children. The perfect life for us, right Lena?" Quatre asked jokingly. Mock suprise displayed on her face, Relena spoke.
"Why certainly! A little girl and boy. They'll be so beautiful, Quatre darling," Relena joked. The two laughed again, not noticing a figure in the darkness.
Heero heard the two laugh about their future together. He frowned.
'How can she say that? She loves him so much, why couldn't it be me?' he questioned.
Pain rose in his heart, and for the first time, the Perfect Soldier, felt broken. Like a porcelain doll, falling towards the marbel floor, only to be shattered into a thousand tiny pieces. Tears threatened to fall and pricked the back of his eyelids. He never thought Relena would fall in love with anyone but him. He was finally wrong.
AN: Ooh... controversy... Anyways, I think there's going to be 3 more chapters [at MAX]. It's hard to think of what to write next. Suggestions are welcome. Hey, please review okay? It means a lot to me. Thanks so much!!!
