Part 7: Confessions of Love

Angel sat behind the desk in her office and looked out through the open window. It had now been 8 months since she had been made Queen of the Earth and Colonies, and 9 months since she had fallen in love with Heero. She had decided to tell Heero how she felt a couple of days ago but had never gotten the chance to do so. She would be with him today so she decided to tell him then. So far things were falling into place for her. She only hoped that Heero felt the same way about her as she felt about him. She grabbed her purse and walked over to the restraunt to meet him. Everyone knew her and allowed her through. She went inside and took her seat beside Heero. He had been there long enough to order some drinks for both of them. She didn't say anything till she was sure that nobody was listening to her.

"Heero? Ummm.........I know this sounds strange coming from me but how do you feel about me? Be honest."

Heero looked up with a startled expression. He wasn't sure if he should tell her cuz he didn't want to have his heart broken.

"Is there any particular reason that you're asking me this Angel?"
"I was just curious Heero. I just wondered where I stood with you."

Heero knew from this that Angel felt the same way about him as he felt for her. Both his heart and mind were telling him to go for it.

"Well.......Angel.......ummm.....I...I love you. I was just afraid to tell you before for fear of rejection."

Angel smiled and took the chance to tell him how she felt.

"I love you too Heero. I have for quite some time now. I didn't tell you before because I didn't want to ruin our friendship. It means too much to me to mess it up."

Heero smiled and pulled Angel into his arms. He tilted her head up gently and kissed her on the lips. He didn't rush into it so Angel had time to realize what he was doing. Heero broke the kiss first and looked down into Angel's eyes. Her hazel eyes were shining like stars and reflected her love for him. Angel inched closer and layed her head down on his chest. Heero ran his fingers through Angel's thick, reddish brown hair and just held her for awhile. Nobody interupted them for fear of being shot by Heero. His glare was enough to send them all runnin for their lives. Heero was still holding her even when Duo, Quatre, Trowa and Wufei entered the place and sat with them. They didn't interrupt but Angel knew they were there. She had heard Duo's loud mouth when they walked in. She glanced at them quickly and noticed the grins on their faces. Heero was also smiling and didn't seem to care who saw it. His mind was too busy thinking up a way to ask Angel to marry him, to even care who saw him smiling. Angel only pulled away from Heero's chest when the waiter came by to ask what they wanted to order for their meals. She glanced at the menu and ordered a salad. Quatre had the same. Duo, Trowa, Wufei and Heero all ordered steaks with baked potatoes. The waiter gathered the menu's and went to fill their orders. The rest of the evening went smoothly. They all got back home at 8:00pm and went to bed early. The next morning, Duo and Quatre had a surprise for the others.

Duo: "We.....that is, Quatre and I, have something to tell you guys. Please don't reject us because of this."
Heero: "Just tell us then."
Quatre: "Well......for one, both me and Duo are gay. Two, we confessed to each other that we love each other. Please don't hate us for this."

Everyone stared at Quatre and Duo and gawked in disbelief. Angel was the first to congradulate the two of them. Wufei revealed that he was engaged to Sally and Trowa revealed that he was engaged to Hilde. The room got quiet when Trowa said this. None of them had even known that Trowa had been seeing Hilde let alone being engaged to her. Duo leaned against Quatre and sighed when Quatre put an arm around Duo's waist. They truly did love each other and didn't really care what anyone thought of it. They just hoped that their friends wouldn't reject them for this. Angel smiled and leaned against Heero and snuggled against him gently. He smiled and put an arm around her waist. Heero had plans for that day but he would have to keep Angel from finding out about it, He knew that Angel wore a size 6 ring so he didn't have to find that out and give away what he was plannin. Christmas was right around the corner so he decided to ask her on Christmas day to marry him. It was now only a matter of time before Angel was his entirely. 2 more weeks and she would be his. Duo was plannin on doing the same thing with Quatre so he silently slipped Heero a note telling him that he would be marrying Quatre and needed his help. It was almost time for things to come together for them.
