I threw a party to reach him. To get near
him. To make him mine. He acts as though he isn't willing to love me. I'm sure
he does, though. I just need to get through to him the right way. I'm positive
he loves me just as much. That's why he couldn't bring himself to kill me. If
he didn't love me, then shouldn't I be dead by now?
I see him over by a wall. He's holding
an empty cup. He's wearing a periwinkle blue suit, and the color of it makes
his cobalt eyes stand out. I start to
make my way through the crowd over to the man I want. I desperately want him to
be mine. I'm almost to the target of my affection, but I'm stopped by a couple
friends. They spew out polite compliments.
"It's a great party, Relena!" "I love
your dress! Where did you buy it?" And the like. Girlish blabber, that, at the
moment, means nothing to me. I chat with them for a few more minutes, always
keeping the corner of my eye on my quarry, so he can't escape me.
When I finally manage to get away from
my hindering friends, I look to the wall where Heero was last seen. However...
he's not there. He's eluded me once more, however... He won't get away. I,
Relena Peacecraft, will catch him. I will
make him mine. I walk over to the people that had surrounded my loved one's
space. I question them, but it seems not many of them had seen where Heero had
disappeared. I'm sharper than people give me credit for. I picked up slight
clues; and they seem to be all pointing to a girl named Shana. I search around
for her, and I find her chatting with her friend's boyfriend.
I ask her if she's seen Heero.
"A boy with a braid asked me if I'd
seen him," she starts, "he said that he needed to tell Heero something."
A boy with a braid.
I'm thinking, but no immediate names are surfacing. What male do I know with
long hair? ...Then it hits me. Duo Maxwell.
Right now, just his name is starting to
make me furious. How dare he steal my Heero from me, when I'm trying to make
him mine? What does he think gives him the right to interfere with love? I find
Shana again, who had wandered off. I ask her if she knows where the braided boy
went. She tells me that she saw them head towards the garden. . . . Which
strikes me as odd. If that braided idiot needed to tell Heero something, then
why not escape this party to do so?
I'd wonder about this, but there isn't
time. I have to go stop the long-haired demon from stealing my Heero from me. I
stalk over to the entrance of the extensive garden. Before I go outdoors,
though, I wonder how I'm going to find Heero. I can't just scream his name out,
or more than likely he'll leave. I'm thinking. How to find him the quickest?
The answer hasn't come to me yet, but I step out onto the stone path through
the garden.
The night air is warm. There's billions
of stars twinkling out... I'd stop to enjoy it more, but I don't have the time.
I hide behind a trellis, and watch couples strolling. The moonlight isn't
reaching me, so I'm hidden. I'm wondering where Heero and Duo went, or if
they're even remotely near here. . . . Something is telling me that they are.
Call it what you want, but I'm sure that they haven't left the grounds. All the better for me.
Where would they go? I sit on the soft
grass behind the trellis. The most secluded place that there is in the garden
is the shrub maze. I lean against the trellis, and look up at the stars. Seeing
the beauty of them, and thinking of the colonies, just makes me want him more.
I stand up, and sneak off –hidden- to
the maze. I pause at the entrance; but then I think better of it, and run
around to the back. In the back there's a ladder than not many people know
about, and the ladder leads to the top of the shrubs. I climb up the rusted
ladder, and stand on top of the foliage wall. I'm careful not to fall through
and get stuck. I walk around the edges. I walk innerly into the maze... Then I
see them. What I see is shocking me. . . .I feel as though someone just hit me
right in the chest, winding me. I rub my eyes, and look at them once more...
They're kissing. Kissing. Heero. And Duo. Two boys. Kissing. I climb down into
the section they're in. They don't notice me, but while I stand there watching
them; with disbelief blazing on my face; I realize and make my decision: Duo
Maxwell had seduced my Heero like this.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" I
rip them apart. Duo has a shocked look at first, but then his expression
changes to a lazy, lethargic look. I look angrily at Heero: Faceless as always.
"What are you doing, Relena?" says
Heero calmly. Duo plays with the tip of his braid; hat over his eyes.
I hesitate a
spilt second before answering him. "I'm – I'm SAVING you!"
Duo sits up, and chokes for a second. "Sav
– SAVING him?! From what?" Heero frowns slightly at
this, but then it goes unnoticed. "We were kissing and you want to SAVE him?!"
From the look on Duo's face, he wants to kick me. I ignore his angry expression.
I stride over to Duo. I raise my hand, and give him a good smack across the
face. He deserves it. "You are a sick, sadistic bastard!"
...The next thing I feel is
considerable pain. I stagger backwards a step, and hold a hand up to my
throbbing cheek. "H – Heero?" I whimper. He had
punched me square in the cheek. Why? Why had he done that?
"I don't love you, Relena," he takes a
couple steps over to Duo, "I want Duo."
My eyes are burning with angry tears
that I refuse to let go. Heero's confused. He has to
be. Why else would he be saying he wanted another boy?
They start to walk out of the maze. I
stand up; hand still to my cheek; and climb up the wall of the maze fiercely. My
cheek is starting to throb now, but I pay no attention to it now. I run around
to the beginning on the maze, and wait. I wait for a few minutes. Did they get
lost? I'm sure Heero wouldn't, but that long-haired baka might. I wait for at
least ten more minutes, then I start to retreat
inside. . . . But something stops me. I run to the side of the maze, and into a
field a little beyond that. I kick a few flowers.
I look up at the sky, and scream to no
one in particular.
"HEERO! YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO LOVE ME, HEERO! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LOVE ME!"
