"What the hell-" Duo started to say.
"Look Maxwell. Shut the hell up and listen to me carefully. I don't what you think you're doing, but Relena's mine, got it? So I suggest you walk back to your car and get the hell out of here before I blow a bullet into your gonads, since that's the only thing you seem to be thinking with," Heero said, spitefully.
Relena looked at Heero. Almost three years without seeing, hearing from him. The last time she heard his voice was over a radio. She remembered him telling her that the mission was going to take longer than he expected, and that he cared for her. She cried that night, playing those words in her head repeatedly. Shaking her head, she spoke.
"Heero...why now? Of all the times, why now?" she said before turning to walk back to the car, tears beginning to form in her eyes.
Duo watched as she retreated. "Alright Heero. What in the freaking hell is your problem? God, she hasn't seen you in so long, and already you've managed to upset her. What's wrong with you? You come back, fuming mad for God knows what dumb ass reason. How could you even assume that I'd make a move on her? She loves you. I don't understand how you can even think that. Get a grip man. We all missed you, and now you come back, thinking you're King Shit and all. Work your own damn problems out before going near her. You've hurt her enough already," Duo spat as he walked back to find Relena.
She began to sob uncontrollably. "Heero, how could you even think that about Duo and I? You're not the same person I knew all those years ago..." she said through choked sobs. Turning around, she came face to face with Duo.
"Oi...Lena. I'm sorry he said all that. I don't know what's come over him. All I can say is he's changed, and not for the best. Come on, why don't I drive you home? This has been a terrible night. How about we try again some other time?" Duo asked.
Relena smiled through tears. She looked at his face, full of sincerity and reached up to hug him. He was such a good friend to stand up for her when the words wouldn't form in her mouth.
Heero played Duo's words in his head. 'You've hurt her enough already...'
"I'm so sorry Relena. I don't know what's come over me...please find it in your heart to forgive me," Heero whispered before turning to his car. He needed to take a ride, clear his head. Somehow, Duo's words kept repeating, over and over. It sounded like Duo was becoming protective of Relena.
Their drive home was silent as Relena sniffled. She saw the car clock flashing midnight. Sighing, she turned to stare at the scenery whiz by as Duo drove. Wiping the tear streaks off her cheeks, she tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
'Of all the times, why now? I've been waiting so long to see you, and the first thing you say to me is that I'm cheating on you. What happened while you were gone? You're just not the same person to me anymore,' she thought.
Duo watched from the corner of his eye. She was so sad. Gripping the steering wheel tighter, anger flared up inside him. His foot hit the accelerator a little harder, speeding down the freeway. He wanted to get Relena home as fast as possible. She needed rest and a friend who would be there for her.
'How could Heero do this to her? Him of all people.'
He was the one who confessed to him how much he cared for Relena.
'Why was he hurting her now?' Duo kept thinking. Releasing the pressure he put on the wheel, his knuckles pinkened from their blanched state. He eased the car into a steady speed and they were soon at Relena's house.
"Lena, I understand that you're confused, hurt and angry. Do you want to talk about it, or would you rather I leave you by yourself?" he asked, concerned.
Wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, she faced him. "Thank you so much Duo. Thank you for caring about me. I think I need to spend time alone, but if I ever need you, I'll call," she said.
"And I'll come running," Duo said as he patted her shoulder. Pressing a chaste kiss to her forehead, he bid her goodnight and soon sped away.
Relena slowly made her way up the stairs. Pulling out her keys, she turned the lock. Weary as she was, she managed to drag herself to her room, undress and get into bed before fainting. The last words she uttered before succumbing to slumber, were 'Heero, I hate you...'
AN: o_O so... what did you think of the story so far??? Too wordy, not wordy enough, too weird? Come on people, I need to hear your reviews. Otherwise I'm just wasting my time writing when I can be rotting away during this lovely summer. Hey, I love to write, but I won't write if there isn't a reason to. So...please review. Thanks so much!
