Romeo & Juliet-Gundam Style
Chapter 7

A small light seeped through the crack in the open door. Relena pushed it open and slowly walked inside. She looked around her and saw nothing but darkness. She hadn't known what to wear, so she just wore a knee-high skirt and a white cotton blouse. Not to formal, but not casual, just so Heero wouldn't miss out on any part of her usual dates. Her heels made clacks on the ground as she walked over to where there was a faint gray glow. A glass window was placed in front of a wired covering. Through it, Relena could see the back of a young man in a dark red shirt, and black pants. Her hand slowly raised her fist to the glass and tenderly knocked on the pane. He quickly turned around and smiled, just a bit, but it showed that he was happy to see her.

"So." she spoke hesitantly. What was she going to say or do? She hadn't really pictured talking to Heero; he was always to silent and on task. She wanted to have a real conversation with him, but didn't want to spoil the moment.

"Here," Heero put out his palm and waited for the girl to take his hand. The small fingers moved timidly toward his hand, but when it reached his, he could feel her relax suddenly. A smile formed on her lips as she gazed deep into his eyes. Heero moved along the shadows until he came upon a large `thing' standing before them. The boy pushed a few buttons and suddenly a door swung open. He gestured for Relena to go inside. The door closed behind the couple and Relena found herself in the cockpit of Gundam Wing. The floor bellow them moved as Heero settled himself in the driver's seat and nestled Relena down on his lap. "Close your eyes."

Relena did what she was told, excited at what was to come. "You can open them." As she did, she realized that she was looking at stars. Endless stars. "I wanted to show you them. You can hardly see them in the city. They're the only things in life that come close to matching your beauty."

"Do you mean what you say?"

"Does the sun give light to the Earth? Do birds sing soft melodies?"

"The sun goes away for half the day, leaving all the people in darkness or artificial light. Birds die with time, and a melody cannot be heard. You avoid the question. Tell me truly."

"Everything I say I mean. I would never lie to you, unless it was to protect you."

She turned around as best she could to face him, "Don't lie. In the end, lies hurt more than the truth." She saw his expression change and turn to a look of admiration. He forced Relena down toward him and captured her lips in a kiss. It was passionate and it made things so easy to forget. She lost herself in his hold. She tasted him and didn't need any more cuisine to live. His tongue was feathery soft, but she knew that it was demanding a comply from her own. She wasn't one to be obstinate. She leaned into him and deepened the kiss. Her arms rapped tightly around his neck while his fingers roamed through her long hair. Relena straddled Heero and had to jerk up her skirt so she wouldn't rip it. He broke away from the lip-lock to look the girl over.

"You do know what you're getting into. With me. I'm not Mr. Perfect. I can't give you what everyone else can. I can't even honestly say that I love you. It's just that you make me feel these things. I don't know love anymore than you claim to know it. I want you to have a choice and not to throw your life away because of my maybes."

"I will teach you love, Heero. If you really think I'm wasting my time, why would I be here? Out of all the people who claim they want to be with me, I seem to believe the least likely one to be telling the truth. I will love you through your hate for me, and through your `feelings.' Through when you understand them better, and then some. Kiss me Heero, and that's all I need." She drew next to his lips, waiting for him to take her. Relena felt a soft brush over her mouth and she closed her eyes.

Heero answered soothingly, "Not here. It would be such an insult to commit such an act of love in this place of sin. All the people I have killed. Not here."

"Aha."

They both sat there, scared to make any movement or to brake the silence. But Heero thought to himself how stupid he was acting. Just say something you moron. "Sorry about this. I know it's not exactly what you're used to. No fancy eating place or even a separate place for you to sit."

"You worry too much about what I'll think of you. All those things mean nothing to me if it's with anyone other than you. If I have had to go places with people, they were just forced upon me like chores. But you, you're so different. Just look at your hair," she smiled to get him to laugh at her weak attempt to make a joke.

"I like my hair," he said and started to shake his head back and forth. "Want to know what else I like?"

"Why not?"

"I like ice cream."

"What? Macho man likes ice cream? What flavor, chocolate perhaps, or are you a classis vanilla?"

"I think I'm more of a strawberry."

"Fruitcake?" Relena laughed.

"So what's your favorite flavor?"

"I prefer to remain a mystery, if you don't mind," and Relena flung her face away from his in a contemptuous motion.

"And what if I do?" Heero started to tickle Relena lightly, and he heard her start to bubble over with hysterics.

They talked and chatted, and completely left the world behind them. There was only then, that moment, as if there had never been time before it, and there would never be time after. They opened up to each other, but in a way, they didn't need to. It was like they were made for each other. The perfect love. The whole situation seemed so right. Staring at the stars, listening to each other's tales, and that's all they did. Heero returned Relena home at around 5a.m.




Again Relena hadn't gotten any sleep too full of last night to think about anything else. In the morning she drank more coffee than a normal human should drink in his/her life, just so she could stay alive for the day, except by the time lunch came around, Relena was buzzed to the point that she had to stay in her sound proof office in case she stared singing Heero's name at a high enough pitch to crack a crystal glass. All meetings were canceled, including her evening plans with Mr. Kinton, which Relena was to hyper to notice that it shouldn't have been on her schedule.

As she drove up to the curb in her limo, she practically flew out of her car to the house. She ran to the kitchen and made herself a big bowl of strawberry ice cream. He was Mr. Perfect. The ice cream proved it.
