Chapter 5

Heero walked back to his apartment to watch over her again. He pulled out his cell phone and checked his voicemail. Nothing. Looking at the clock on it, it read 6:15PM. Duo and Hilde would be arriving at Relena's at 7. Bounding up the flight of stairs, he pulled out his keys and rushed to the window where his binoculars were.
Relena read the recipe. Laughing out loud, she added the necessary ingredients, remembering a sick joke Duo had told her on the phone after she had invited him to dinner. She stirred the ingredients, while letting out a sigh. Life was moving on, slowly, but she was making it, with or without Heero. Glancing at the clock, she noticed she had a little more than half an hour to get the casserole and get the cake iced. Wiping her forehead, she quickly pushed the casserole into the oven, setting the knob at high.
"Oh my..." she said as she looked around the kitchen. Wrappers from cartons and packages lay strewn across the table, the counter. Sauce and noodles were scattered all over the sink and the stovetop. Sighing again, Relena wet a dish cloth, and set out to clean up her mess before her guests arrived.
Duo scrambled around his room trying to find something suitable to wear. Throwing pants, shirts, even underwear around, he found nothing. Brow furrowed in frustration, he walked over the mounds of clothing and opened his closet. There on the shelf, sat a pristine clean suit. Something he hadn't worn for over two years. Eyeing it suspiciously, he threw the piles of dirty clothes to one side of the room and maneuvered his way to the washroom to shower and dress.
Heero watched as Relena cleaned up her mess.
'God, she's perfect. Beautiful, smart, who knew she could cook?' he told himself. Looking around the room, his eyes fell on the newspaper. While spending so much time spying on Relena, he never actually had the time to read. Picking it up, his eyes bugged out when he read the front cover.
'Peacecraft Princess Smitten by Ex-Gundam Pilot Maxwell,' read the heading.
Heero's eyes narrowed. Ripping the entire newspaper in half, he threw the torn pieces across the table, loaded his gun and clicked the safety off. Duo Maxwell would be taken care of once and for all. Heero had warned him, to stay away from Relena. Fuming mad, he stepped out of his apartment and walked carefully to Relena's.
Knocking once, he heard her scramble and yell. Hiding his gun in the back of his pants, he quickly ran his fingers through his unruly hair. Putting on a fake, semi-smile, he hung his left arm over the doorframe seductively.
Relena cursed herself for being so disorganized. Flinging her dish towel in the sink, she checked the casserole before bolting to the front door to greet her guests. She scanned the house quickly, making sure things were neat, or at least appeared to be that way.
"Hilde, Duo! I'm coming, hold on! Just checking on the food," she exclaimed, before throwing open the door. Her jaw dropped. Standing there, was Heero.
"Relena. Just the person I wanted to see. Mind telling me what's going on with you and Maxwell?" he asked, before pushing past her.
Anger flared up inside her. How dare he think he can just walk in here and demand to know her business?!?
"Look, Heero. I don't know who you think you are, but you weren't invited. Please leave. Furthermore, what I do is none of your business, but since you're so eager to know, there's nothing going on between us. That's the truth, it's what you asked, now leave before my real guests arrive," Relena said, very flustered.
Heero smirked. He was getting her all hot and flustered. Smiling a wicked grin, he advanced on her. He watched as she backed up, moving towards the kitchen. Moving faster, he managed to corner her and brought her arms up beside her head.
"Tsk tsk Relena. Is that how you treat your boyfriend? Hmm? I missed you, know that? I've been looking forward to this moment. Close your eyes and make a wish," he said before descending to take her lips with his.
Realizing what he was doing, Relena quickly threw her head to the side to avoid his mouth. Wriggling her arm free, she slapped his face, swiftly and sharp. "Heero Yuy! Get the hell away from me. What makes you think you're my boyfriend? You left me when I needed you, you became jealous over DUO! Come on, tell me what's wrong? Ever since you came back, it seems like lately you've had a total personality change. What happened on your mission? What stole the real Heero I knew from me?" she asked, saddened.
Heero felt his cheek sting. What was he thinking? Looking at her lower lip tremble, his heart lurched. He was scaring her. Looking at her apologetically, he spoke.
"I'm sorry Relena. I don't know what came over me. It's just, I saw a newspaper headline say that you and Duo were an item, and then I don't know what happened, but I just lost it. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I didn't mean to..." Heero said.
Relena's frown dropped. "Oh, Heero, you don't have to be worried about me. Duo and I are friends, that's all. What the newspapers say aren't always entirely true. But I still want to know what happened on your mission. But not tonight. How about tomorrow? I really want to know the truth. Maybe something happened while you were away, and you just don't realize it yet. I'll always be there to help you. Just don't be irrational. If I say Duo and I are friends, we are. No doubt about it, okay?" Relena asked.
Heero nodded and looked at her through sad eyes. "I'm terribly sorry. Tomorrow would be fine though. Until then," he said, as he escorted himself out the door.
Relena breathed a sigh of relief. 'Oh man...what have I gotten myself into? I couldn't tell Heero the truth, he'd probably kill Duo for it. I do have feelings for him, but it's nothing. It's just a silly little crush, that's all. At least I hope so,' she thought, before rushing to check on her meal.
Duo jumped out of the shower and checked the clock from the washroom. It glowed 7:08. Yelping, Duo ran to his room to retrieve his clothes, threw them on and rushed back into the washroom to blast his hair dry. Braiding it quickly, he threw his shoes on and rushed to his car downstairs.
Relena looked at her clock. Duo, being late as always, in some ways relieved Relena. She had more time to make sure the dinner would be perfect. Looking in the oven, she saw the casserole was almost done and she stopped the timer. Bringing out the cake she bought, she cut some slices and transferred them to plates before they arrived. Getting that out of the way, she noticed she probably had about 2 minutes before they would arrive, so she headed to her room to slip into something a little more formal.
Duo drove like a maniac. He had to go pick Hilde up, but she lived at least 10 minutes away. 'I'm never going to make it on time. Something snapped in his head. He had a cell phone, why couldn't he just phone Relena to say he'd be a little late? He'd also phone Hilde to make sure she was ready. Whipping it out, he pressed his redial button and it automatically transferred the call to Hilde's.
Ring once, twice, three times. Duo was getting tired of this. He pulled over, just in case she wouldn't be able to make it.
"Hello?" a weak voice answered.
"Hil? It's Duo. What's wrong? You don't sound so good," Duo said.
"That's because I'm not. Can you tell Relena that I'm really sorry, I tried to phone her, but the call wouldn't transfer. Anyways, I'm sorry for ruining anything. Tell her I'll try to contact her as soon as possible. Have fun tonight Duo. I know there's something going on between you two. Hope it turns out to be special," Hilde said, quickly disconnecting before Duo could yell at her.
Duo smirked. Hilde actually thought there was something going on between him and ojousan? That was a laugh and a half. Gunning the engine, he made a sharp U-turn and sped towards Relena's apartment. Arriving there in about thirty seconds, he jumped out and ran upstairs, knocked at her door and was greeted by a very pretty Relena.
AN: O_o Domestic Relena??? Who woulda thought? Hmm... this is getting to be a funny story. At least I think so. So, what do you all think? Anything fishy going on? Definitely! Let me know what you think, alright? Please read and review. This story should be over in about three more chapters, unless you guys and girls would want me to write more. It's all the matter of reviews. Thanks for reading, have a great summer!
