"She was a complete mess when they found her. Blood was everywhere however for a while, the officers could not find out from where or why. Upon closer inspection though, it can be concluded that the blood was not from Relena's head. It appears that it came from her wrist. That's right ladies and gents, Ms.Relena Peacecraft, Queen of the World, Prime Minister of The United Earth's World Sphere had attempted suicide by slitting her wrists with a nail file. The doctors gave her, at most, 2 weeks to live. That was a month ago."
Heero stood up wearily and reached to turn off the knob on the TV.
"Heero not yet!" Duo yelled, Heero sat back down reluctantly and looked at the TV stone faced.
"Ms.Relena is comforted daily by thousands of admirers, but it seems she finds no joy in their company. The flowers given to her are either left to wither and die, or she burns them. She shreds up the cards, and despite this new change people still stay to comfort her. To quote Pagan, Relena's butler, " Relena's been through a lot, give her time." So lets all be there for Ms.Rel—"
The TV shut off abruptly. Duo stood up, a chef hat placed on his head, frying pan in one hand and spatula in the other. Wufei, Quatre and Trowa sat at the table in the next room, hungrily waiting for their lunch.
"Maxwell, we haven't got all day you know?" Wufei growled, thumping on the table impatiently. Duo patiently tipped the food, in even amounts of course, onto separate plates. A clown plate (for Trowa no duh) the Chinese word for Justice (Wufei, who else?) a teacup (for coffee and not tea as Quatre would kindly inform you) cherry blossoms (Heero…) and a Palm tree.
"Wufei, do me a favor and shut up. Hey, Heero! Man, I was watching that." Duo yelled at Heero, who was calmly sitting in the next room. Duo sighed and served out the plates. Holding the cherry blossom plate, he proceeded into the next room and set the plate in front of Heero.
"I told you, I was watching that."
"There's nothing to watch." Heero snapped. Duo patted Heero on the back reassuringly and smiled wryly.
"Its funny though, huh? Until this happened you didn't give a hoot about Relena, now she's on your mind 24/7."
Heero snapped to attention and glared at Duo angrily.
"What do you mean?" He spat.
Duo laughed good-naturally.
"I meant in no way that you loved Relena. I simply meant that you felt guilty for Relena's change. Am I right?" Duo said factually and he stood up to leave.
"You don't know anything." Heero glowered; Duo shrugged and got up to leave.
"Hurry up and eat your food. I'm sure its not that bad, I followed the recipe book, word for word." Duo demanded. He turned to leave and walked out the door, then poked his head back in to say something.
"Oh and Heero?" Duo questioned.
Heero didn't turn to look at him.
"Hn."
"You know, it's not your fault."
