Summer Fun
'Wha' happened?'
'Where were you two?'
'Are you guys okay?'
Swarmed by questions, Relena's head began to ache enormously . . . causing her to grab her head in both of her hands in frustration.
The voices became louder as the questions increased. Finally blending together in a chaos of racket and utter murmurings, she couldn't take it anymore. She was going to scream if it didn't stop soon.
Against her wishes, the clamor only increased . . . finally pushing her off the edge.
'AHHHH!!!!!' . . .
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Relena . . . RELENA!!!" Heero tried to bring her out of it, seeing her struggle in her sleep.
Heero had been up all night, not being able to sleep for some reason. It was way past midnight, and Heero was just lying in his bed, staring up at the ceiling. That is until he heard something coming from across the hall.
"AHHHH!!!!!" Relena screamed as she shot up in bed, nearly knocking Heero down. Her brow had a sheen of sweat upon it from her torment. Her hand brushed across it, and settled back down on the side of her. Finally noticing the deep Prussian blue that were locked upon her in worry.
"Heero! I'm sorry, are you . . ."
"I'm okay." He cut her off, her always being worried about another than herself. "How are you?" He questioned.
"Me? I just had a repeat of what happened when we came back form our little boating trip. Only thing different was that everyone's voices kept on getting louder and jumbling up together. Too loud if you ask me. But other than that, I'm fine. Thanks to you, for waking me."
Heero nodded, now knowing that she was alright. He told her that she should try and get back to sleep, just when Relena noticed something.
"Hey, what about you?"
"Huh?" Heero seemed puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean.'" She said sarcastically. "How did you know that I was having a nightmare? Was I too loud in my sleep? Does NOTHING get by the 'perfect soldier'??"
Heero smirked at this, and gave Relena a dangerous look.
Relena saw this and thought, *Oh no . . . NOW you've done it.*
"Heero Yuy."
Heero still held his intimidating look right on her, and perused on leaning forward and responding in a dark tone. "Yes . . . ?"
Too late . . . Heero had caught her once again in a surging kiss. Helpless in every way, Relena only gave in and deepened it.
After a few excruciating moments, they broke apart and just stared at one another. Then all of a sudden . . .
~POOF!~
The 'perfect soldier' was hit with a pillow, knocking him onto Relena's bed. Seeing that she had actually HIT him, Relena began laughing hysterically.
Heero looked bewildered at her sudden action, then her laughter. In fact, she was laughing SO hard, she fell back onto her bed, but also hit the head of the bed. Instead of causing Relena pain, she only laughed harder. (AN: if that's even possible!!! ^_~)
Relena just couldn't STOP! Finally, she started to clam down, a little, by the sound of Heero's calm voice.
"Shh . . . you might wake the others." As soon as Relena shut her mouth a bit, Heero pressed his fingertips to her lips. Once again, she was hypnotized by those eyes of his. She shuttered against his touch.
"Heero."
"Hmn."
She took in a deep breath before she continued. "Can you stay with me, for the night? I can't go back to sleep, knowing what I just dreamt of." A surprised look crossed his features, then disappeared just as it came. But it was enough time for Relena to see it, which resulted in her continuation.
"I'd feel a whole lot safer if you did stay. I always feel safe under your gaze."
How could he refuse? He protects her day and night, and saw to it that she felt that way. If it would be the only way she could sleep, he'd do it.
"Alright, but you GO TO SLEEP." Heero warned. "You need your rest. It's been a long day, okay?"
Relena nodded as she fell back down onto her pillow. Heero climbed in after her and wrapped his arms protectively around her as she fell back into a slumber.
"Sweet dreams, Relena." Heero followed in suit after her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Relena woke up to the first sun beams ever to hit the sky. It was dawn, and a few stars were still out. She was about to rise when she felt a weight upon her. Wondering what it was, Relena saw an arm slung around her, protecting her from any harm that may come. Relena smiled as she saw the face that belonged to the person who was holding her. Heero DID stay with her, and was still sleeping soundly beside her.
She tried moving, slightly, to see if he'd awaken from her movements. He shifted a bit, but didn't stir. Seeing this, she slowly got out from under him and out of the bed. She walked out to her door, and stepped outside onto the deck. She shivered a bit by the cool night air. Looking up to the sky, she saw the clouds in different shades. Blue, purple, pink, white . . . the sky it's self was a ray of colors, with some stars still shining brightly even though the sun was rising. The sight before her was breath taking, but she felt as if something was missing from the picture.
*It's so beautiful . . . but there's something missing in all of this.*
As if to answer her questions, she felt strong arms wrap around her form once again. Shielding her from the cold, and yet . . .
"And what would be missing?" He whispered into her ear. "It seems perfect to me, with you standing before me."
A chill ran up and down her spine, and she answered in a shaky voice, "Why, you. You're what's missing in this picture."
Heero pulled back a bit, and moved into Relena's view so she could see him in front of her. "No, even with me in the picture, don't you still think it's incomplete?"
Puzzled by his words, Relena tried to understand what he meant.
"What, what is still missing?" She asked quietly.
"We, that's what's missing . . . we." He gently pulled her to him, and they stood like that for a while.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The rest of the summer quickly went by, too fast for everyone actually. They all had a blast though, having fun doing things together. They went shopping, movies, went out for meals, all the things that they could think of. But it all too soon had to come to an end.
Today was the day that they all had to leave and go their separate ways. Everyone was packed and ready to go. They all pilled into the cars and headed down toward the airport to see Heero, Relena and Duo off.
The car ride was mostly silent, everyone a bit sad, or more, that this all so suddenly had ended.
They reached the airport and saw Relena's private jet waiting, right on schedule. The crew came to pick up their bags and loaded them into the plane. Everyone got out and began saying their good byes.
"Good bye, I'll miss you." Tiffany said in a saddened voice. She was holding Relena as if there was no tomorrow.
"Good bye Tiff, you know I'll miss you. I'll call you when I get back, so you know I'm all right, okay?" Relena tried to comfort her friend.
Tiffany nodded her head as her tears streamed down her face. Relena handed her a tissue and went over to Jacelyn.
"I'll miss you too, Jacie." Relena embraced her other friend. Now some tears started to form.
"Hey! We'll see each other again, so don't worry about it." Relena could hear the slight waver in her voice. She hugged her even a bit harder, not wanting to let go.
Finally letting go, Relena moved onto Kay. The both of them instantly grabbing onto each other. As well as tears streaming down each of their faces.
"I dont' want either of you to leave!" Kay almost shrieked.
"I know, I know, but we have to go Kay. And don't worry, like Jacie said, we'll see each other again. Okay?"
"Okay." Pulling away from the other, they stepped aside.
Relena strolled over to the last person to say her good byes too, but of course not least. RJ was standing off to the side of everyone else. He saw Relena approaching, and turned to face her.
"Hey, it's time for me to go, RJ." Relena stated while wiping away her tears from her face, trying to regain her composure.
"Yeah," he said.
Relena gave him a hug and stood there a while, then pulled away to join Heero. He was waiting on the side of the airplane.
Relena reached the side of Heero, then turned around to look at her friends one last time before entering the plane. Surprisingly, there was something interesting going on.
"Well Kay, I guess it's my time as well." Duo said, sadly. He not being able to look her in the eye.
Kay didn't really care about what she was doing. She pulled Duo towards her and embraced him. Duo was shocked, none the less, but then heard her whisper something into his ear.
"Wha?"
"I said, I like you, ALOT!"
Duo couldn't believe it, she just confessed her feelings for him!!!! It's what Duo hoped for the entire time. Since the dreams he had about her, to the time he saw her in person, till this very moment. And now that he knew about her feelings, there was no way that he wasn't going to tell her about his.
"I like you too." He answered back. "Whatta ya say we get together? I mean, I know that I'm leaving and all, but I think we can still make this work. Don't you? Besides, I could try and go to college here. This is a nice place and all, and I like it here."
Kay couldn't believe it, he just . . .
"Did you just ask me out??" She asked, stunned.
"Yeah . . . so . . . ?" Duo trailed off.
"'Yeah so?', YES!!!!!" She shouted, then pulled Duo in for a long awaited kiss.
Relena, as well as everyone else, shook their heads. The same word running through each of their minds.
*FINALLY!*
Around a minute, the two finally pulled apart. Then the staring began.
"Come on Duo, we've got to go." Heero said.
"Alright, alright." He told Heero, then he turned to Kay. "I guess I'll call you. But I need your number."
Kay nodded and wrote in down on a piece of paper. Then she gave him a peck on the check, and sent him off.
Duo was acting like the happiest guy in all the world and colonies. He bounced up into the plane and into his seat, looking out the window towards Kay.
Heero and Relena boarded next and the door shut closed. Heero, Relena and Duo waved from their seats as the plane took off. It shot out into the clear blue sky, then disappeared.
