My Hero, Chapter 6
The figure walked closer to the bed, and took a rag out of his pocket. As soon as he was a foot away from Relena's body, Heero jumped up and pointed his gun at the man's head. "Hold it."
The man turned towards Heero, with a hand going into his pocket and another hand grabbing Relena. "Don't even try it. Unless you want your Princess dead." He took out a knife and placed it at Relena's throat. Her eyes went wide with terror.
'Damn it!' Heero thought. 'I didn't expect this.' The gun was still pointed at the man's head. "Let her go."
"And if I don't?" the man challenged. "Are you going to take a chance? Hit me or...her?"
"Let her go," Heero repeated.
"Hehe... Some body guard you turned out to be." The man, with Relena in his grasp, started to walk towards the balcony door, still facing Heero. "Well, while you just stand there, I'm going to go and...deliver her to where she needs to be."
When the man said 'deliver her', Heero's eyes went even darker. He watched the man walk onto the balcony, and heard a scream. "Damn you! Hold still!"
Heero ran out, and saw the man over the railing, yelling at something. He noticed that Relena wasn't on the balcony. 'Shit!'
The man turned around, and met the barrel of a gun. The man tried to swing at Heero, but he stopped him. Heero punched him, and connected with his stomach, knocking the wind out of him. He then pushed him into the bedroom, just when Zechs and Duo ran in. As they walked towards the man on the floor, Heero turned around, looking for Relena. "Relena?"
"Heero! Help me!"
Heero looked over the railing, and saw Relena hanging onto a vine for dear life. He extended his arm, Relena reached out for it. He noticed that she had a huge gouge on her arm. 'He cut her,' Heero thought angrily.
He pulled her up, and they both fell back, with Relena on top of Heero. Duo walked out, and saw them. "Whoa..."
Heero turned towards the braided man. "Don't even say it."
"What? But I wasn't..." He stopped when he saw the death glare. He turned around, and started to walk away. "I'll just leave you two alone."
By this time, Relena moved off Heero, and was right next to him. He turned towards her, and saw that she covered the cut on her arm. He moved her hand, and looked at her. "You're hurt."
"Yeah. I tried to break away from him. He cut and pushed me."
The murderous glare returned in Heero's eyes. Relena saw this. "But I am okay."
He looked in her eyes. "You're bleeding."
Relena looked at her arm. "But I'm alright."
Heero got up, and pulled Relena along with him. He walked into her bedroom, ignoring Zechs, Noin, and Duo, and pulled her into the bathroom.
"What are you...?"
"Sit down," Heero interrupted her.
Relena complied, but with a confused look on her face. She jumped up onto the counter. Heero went into the medicine cabinet, and took out gauze, and antiseptic, and some cotton balls.
"Heero, you really don't have to do this."
He ignored her, poured some antiseptic on a cotton ball, and placed it on the cut. Relena gasped from the sting, and Heero looked at her. "Sorry."
'Why is he being so nice all of a sudden?' Relena thought. "It's okay."
Zechs knocked on the door, and opened it. "Relena! Are you..." He stopped when he saw the cut on her arm. He glared at Heero. "Yuy, I thought..."
Relena interrupted him. "It wasn't his fault, Milliardo. It's mine. If I didn't try to get away, it never would have happened."
He turned and faced his sister. "Are you alright?"
"Yes."
"Zechs!" Noin called from the bedroom.
Before he left, he looked at Heero. "See to it she stays that way."
"Hn."
Heero looked back to Relena, who was looking right at him, and continued to clean up her arm. When he finished, and put the antiseptic away. He extended his arm to Relena. 'Why is he being so nice to me?' she thought.
When she took his hand, he pulled her off the counter, and she rubbed against his chest. He looked down at her, into her eyes. She looked up into his. He put his hand on her cheek, as he bent his head down, getting his lips closer to hers. He was an inch away, ready to move closer.
"Yo! Are you two... Whoa!" Duo exclaimed, when he saw Heero and Relena's current position.
Heero looked up at Duo, giving him a death glare. Duo looked over at Relena, and she was giving him one of her own!
"You've been spending too much time with Mr. Death Glare over here, Princess."
"Duo..." Heero said, very annoyed.
"Ummm... Oh yeah... Uh... I need to do something... Ah... I should go..." Duo stammered, as Heero walked closer to the braided pilot. He ran from the room.
Heero turned around, and found Relena giggling. "You shouldn't be so hard on him, Heero. He was really scared!"
"He interrupted me..." Heero said, looking back at the door.
'He really wanted to kiss me?' Relena thought. 'Hmmm I guess I will play along with him to find out.'
"Did he?"
He turned and faced her. "Well, yeah..."
"What did you want to do?" Relena teased, walking to him.
Heero smirked. When she was right next to him, he put his hands around her waist. "You want to find out?"
She looked up at him, with a big smile on her face. 'I was right!'
"What do you think?"
"I think you do..." Heero trailed off as he lowered his head closer to hers. He placed his lips on Relena's, in a soft kiss. He pulled back, and he had a small smile on his face.
"I never thought I would see the day that Heero Yuy would smile," Relena said, with one of her own on her lips.
"Looks like you did," he replied, as he led her to the bedroom. They both sat on the bed.
"Heero, why did you change your mind?"
"Huh?"
"You were never this forward before."
"You can thank Duo for that."
"What?" Relena asked, surprised. 'He promised he wouldn't tell!'
"I heard your conversation with him before I walked in the room."
"You did?" Relena questioned, with a surprised voice.
"Yeah." Heero smirked.
"You spied!" Relena was trying to act mad, but the way she said it wasn't serious at all.
"No. I simply overheard."
"Well..." she started to say, as she moved closer to Heero. "...I guess it's okay, since this came out of it." She kissed him on the lips, like he had before.
"Hn," Heero said, kissing back. When they parted, Heero picked her up, and placed her in the sheets of her bed. He started to walk to his sleeping bad, buy Relena reached out and stopped him.
"You can stay here with me, if you like."
Heero looked at her, and walked around the bed to the other side. He pulled the sheets away, and slid in. Relena moved closer to him, and placed her head on his chest. He put his arm around her, and fell asleep.
