Notes: Thank you! To all who read the first chapter and double thanks
to those who reviewed! ^.^ Okay on to 2nd chapter.
Relena walked up to her class room with Heero not
to far behind. They both entered and took their seats in the back just
as the bell rang. The teacher looked at them and shook her head. "all right
class pay attentions today in class we are going over.." as if on command
Relena blocked out the teachers talking and looked infront of her to see
a new boy in their class. She then looked down at the floor and saw a folded
up piece of paper with her name on it. She took it and looked at Heero
who gave her a questioning look. She then mouthed 'Is this from you?' Heero
shook his head. Relena then looked at the new boy and opened the note out
of curiosity. 'Meet me in the school gym after school. -Mike' Relena looked
at the boy and then the bell rang. Relena stood up and grabbed her bag
pack and threw one strap around her left shoulder and grabbed her book.
She headed out of the room with Heero on her trail.
"Relena!" he said. She turned around to him. "What's
wrong who was the note from?" he asked looking at her. "The guy infront
of me. Mike is his name. He wants to meet me in the gym after school."
she said looking at the ground. "I don't want you do go.." he said barely
hear able. She looked up at him. "Why?" she said. "I.. it's just.. I don't
want you to. He could be trouble." he said sighing while running his hand
through his hair. She smiled "I don't think he is trouble, don't be such
a worry wart." she said and messed up his hair smiling brightly. Heero
grinned slightly and then headed to their other classes.
Little did they know the new guy, Mike, was watching them with great interest. 'Hmm, I suppose no competition for her.' he thought and headed to his class.
-After School.-
Relena ran to her locker to put up her bags to only see Hilde near her locker. "Hey girl! Why you in such a rush?" she said smiling. "The new guy wants to meet with me in the gym." she said hastily while getting into her locker. "No way! This one girl said he was the cutest. Hey! I thought you where interested in Heero." Hilde looked at Relena. "Ya, I was.. but he just apparently interested to be more than friends with me, so might as well get a date before the last day of high school, right?" she smiled even wider as she began to shove stuff into her bag pack. "You are one sly girl. Well I have to go meet Duo, he wants me to come to rehearsals. Don't you think it's great that their song was on the radio?" Hilde said now existed. "Yeah! I was in the car, Duo was screaming and yelling." she said laughing while putting her bag pack over her shoulder. Hilde laughed as well and they headed to the gym.
Once they made it to the gym Relena turned to Hilde. "Do I look all right?" she asked. "Yeah! You always look good, now go and get him!" she said smiling. "Tell Heero I'll be over at 5 or 6 today to help with the album cover." she said while opening the gym doors. "all right." Hilde replied and shut the gym door behind Relena.
-In the Gym-
Relena looked around. "Hmm, hello?" she said. A boy with black short straight hair and bright blue eyes walk out of the shadows. "Hello." he said. Relena jumped up and screamed. "Oh my gosh! Im sorry you just scared the crap outa me!" she said smiling. "Im sorry! It was my fault, I shouldn't hide in shadows. I suppose old habits die hard." he said smiling and extending his hand. Relena took his hand and shook it. "A firm grip for a girl. Shows your head strong." he said with a smirk. "Yeah." she said looking at him. "So what was it you wanted to meet me for?" she asked. "Well, I was wondering if you would like to walk around the park here. I have heard it is beautiful." he said with a gentle smile. "Yes, they are. I would love to." she said smiling back. (A/N: Gee, there is alot of smiling going on! o.O) Mike took Relena's hand and they walked out to the park.
-At the Park-
As they walked around Mike kept stealing glances of Relena each chance he got. Relena noticing this a grinned with a slight blush. Mike smiled as they continued to walk and found them self's back at the gym. "Well I must be going." Relena said while looking at her watch. "Do you need a ride?" he asked. Relena looked around and remembered Heero had brought her. "Yes, it seems I do need a ride." she said smiling. Mike began to walk to his car with Relena close behind. He smiled as he opened up the door for her. Relena blushed and got in. Mike went to the divers seat. "You are going to have to instruct me on how to get there." he said and she nodded.
-At Heero's.-
"Dude, man don't worry about her. She said 5 or 6. It's 5:45. She has time to get here." Duo said looking at the worried and nervous Heero. "It's almost 6! Where is she! I need her to be here so I can rehearse!" he said panicking. "Come on! Just one song. She'll be here, just play one song and she'll be here. I promise." Quatre said. Heero nodded and went to the mic. Hilde sat down on one of the lawn chairs and smiled. "Okay, lets play... Here's To The Night." Heero said.
Trowa, Duo, Wufie and Heero got ready for the song. "Sorry, Quatre, but the man calls the songs." Duo said. "Hey, It's okay I can listen to you guys." he said while sitting in one of the lawn chairs. Heero went over the notes on his guitar as he thought about Relena. 'Here's To The Night' was for all the times that Heero had watched guys make Relena cry. She knew they wouldn't last but she kept going with them. That's why he didn't want her to be with this new guy. Afraid she'd end up crying again. So it was to the Nights he was there for her.
Trowa and Wufie began to play their instruments while Duo came in and Heero as well. Heero then began to sing.
Heero: So denied so I lied are you the now or never kind
In a day and a day love I'm gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had are you cool with just tonight
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Relena & Mike pulled into the drive way of Heero's house.
Heero & Duo: Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to good-bye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Mike opened Relena's door and she heard the music playing. She smiled and grabbed Mike's hand and dragged him to the basement.
Heero: Put your name on the line along with place and time
Wanna stay not to go I wanna ditch the logical
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Heero put his face to the mic and poured his heart out into the song as his eyes where shut to hide his pain.
Heero & Duo: Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to good-bye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Relena headed down the stairs to the basement. "Im going to go, I don't want to intrude." she heard Mike say and he retreated back to his car. Relena just nodded and began to open the basement door.
Heero: All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Relena smiled and joined into the next line.
Relena, Heero & Duo: Here's to the nights we felt alive
Heero heard her voice and smiled as he looked at
her and continued to sing the song.
Heero & Duo: Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to good-bye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
They stopped and Heero smiled, a real smile while walking over to Relena. "Well, I haven't seen you smile like that in forever! What's the occasion?" she questioned smiling. "Just glad to see you that's all. So where is this Mike guy?" he questioned. "Oh, he dropped me off, he is real nice guy. We walked around the park and talked. He didn't want to intruded so he left to go home." she said. "Oh I see." he replied.
"Relie! Come and sit with me an tell me about this Mike and your date with him." Hilde said smiling. Relena nodded and sat next to Hilde and spilled all the info. Heero's smile faded into a grin and he headed back to the mic. "Quatre get up here, we are going to play Crawling." Heero said. Quatre smiled and headed to the turn tables. Relena looked up at Heero. "Crawling?" she questioned. "Yeah, I just feel like it." he said and headed to the mic. She just nodded and smiled at Hilde.
Duo & Wufie: Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Heero: There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling
Relena watched Heero as he held the mic up to his mouth. His eyes where open and the confusion showed in them. The meaning of the song showed in them.
Heero: I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Duo: Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced
that there's just too much pressure to take)
Heero: I've felt this way before
So insecure
Duo & Wufie: Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
So many years back, when they where all 13, Heero
was so lost in his world, and he started to cut himself thinking it was
a realize. Relena found out about him and cried so hard. Heero was worried
and didn't understand why she cried over him. She told him that what he
did was near an attempt of killing himself. He tried to say that it wasn't,
he tried to convince himself she was wrong, but she wasn't.
Heero: Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how
Heero: I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Duo: Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced
that there's just too much pressure to take)
Heero: I've felt this way before
So insecure
He felt insecure and he was so confused. Relena tried so hard to make him see. She tried for 3 years to convince him. Finally it clicked. He found himself he felt secure and most of all, he found he cared for Relena and not only cared, but loved her. Still he could never tell her. He never knew how to. He didn't even know if she loved him.
Duo & Wufie: Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal

Wufie: Confusing what is real
Once they finished Hilde & Relena cheered them on. Duo smiled and ran over to Hilde and picked her up. Heero smiled at Relena and she smiled at him. "Well I better get home. We have graduation tomorrow." she said smiling. Heero nodded and everyone said good-bye to her. Once she was gone Heero sighed and sat down on the floor and began to write a song.
A/N: Well, hmm. I hope you like it. ^.^ Please R&R.
