Gundam Wing's: Intertwined Destinies
Ch 1: Quite Musings
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Zechs walked down the dusty hallway. Most of the Castle had been renovated, but there was one part that remained intact from the war. The east wing. It hadn't been used in years. Zechs let his hand touch the cold marble surface. This place used to be the grandest part of the palace. He closed his eyes. He could clearly remember the smell of fresh rose and jasmine. He remembered how his eyes lit up at the sight of his mother, sitting near the window singing to herself softly. She would look at him and motion for him to come. Zechs would run into her embrace, as she hugged him, he would smell her apple-scented hair. He was so happy then.
Then.
He stopped in the middle of the hall and opened his eyes. He was now at the end. Two huge doors stood in front of him. His eyes looked at them strangely, but his heart and memory knew what they led to.
The kings and queens personal chambers.
He remembered this place all too, well. He released the breath he didn't know he was holding. He placed his forehead on the embroidered door.
Soon...
Soon was right. With all the business going on in the palace, he rarely had time to plan the wedding. He shuddered at the thought. Lilly was beautiful, but she was vain and spiteful of Noin. He didn't blame her really; it wasn't like no one didn't know how he felt about Noin. Luckily for Zechs, he couldn't marry her until this area was renovated. It was a Peacecraft tradition for the husband and Bride to consummate their marriage there. Zechs sighed and his breath blew some dust away from the door.
Why Noin? Why couldn't it be you here? Why....
He didn't know why he bothered to ask himself. He already knew. Tradition. Noin was a soldier and he was a prince. Sure, she would bare a strong heir, but she was not 'one of them'. That really pissed him off. It was their entire fault. All Lilly's, all his aunt's. Yes, aunt. Some of the Peacecraft's survived. One just happened to be his mother's sister, the most stuck up, haughty old hag he knew. He smiled, his father probably would have laughed at his remark. Zechs shook his head. He placed his hands on the handles and opened the doors.
He stepped inside. The moonlight filled the room with a blue haze. It was enough to put anyone in a trance. He made his way to the big bed. He sat down and looked up at the portrait of his father and mother above him. They looked so happy.
Your lives were only just beginning...mom, dad, you deserved to live to an old age. But you died in your 40's...how I miss you both..
A hot tear trickled sown his face. He let it fall; when it came to his parents, he wasn't ashamed to cry. That was what made him stronger, his grief.
"Please guide me in what to do father. I've lost my direction and my love."
He stared at the portrait. His eyes sparkled with his tears.
I wish I knew what to do. I've disappointed everyone, especially you and mom. And now, I've hurt the only, match for me, Noin. You would have loved to have her for a daughter in-law.
He closed his eyes to let the tears fall. His life, or what he now considered his hell, was spinning out of control. He fell back into the Satin sheets. This was not the first night he had slept there. So, the oldest and most trusted servant, Sara, who was his Nana, changed the sheets for him to lie in.
His hair spilled out on the silk pillow as he closed his eyes to sleep.
Dreams...the only place I can have you now....
So he closed his eyes and dreamed of the sweetest thing he could dream of, Noin, his love, his life, his reason for existence.

Relena had just taken her shower as her cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hiya girlie!! What are you up to? I'm so sorry I missed the party! I've had SO much work!"
Relena smiled, she seemed so energetic today. Relena understood why she hadn't come, after all, she was a Preventer and she was in charge.
"Its okay. Are we still on for this week-end?"
"Of course! It's going to be fun. I have to go."
Relena heard a muffled sound come from the other end. So, she wasn't alone, naughty, naughty general.
"You mean you have to go on a date"
Relena could tell her friend was blushing over the phone.
"Looks like you've caught me."
"Well, I mean no disrespect but it is about time little missy."
Relena smiled. She was a cornball.
"Riiight mother, look we have to catch a movie, gotta go! Bye!"
"Sure, c-ya!"
Relena hung up the phone. It was amazing how she could lie to her brother SO easily.
"Who was that?"
Relena was brought out of her thoughts as she looked up to see a dark figure looming over her. She sighed. She was caught.
"Does it matter?"
She could tell his eyes were growing cold with impatience.
"Who was it?"
"Well, if you must know, it was Une."
"Liar."
He knew her too well.
"Alright, it was Noin."
"Figures. I told you too leave that one alone."
She sat up. He was so concerned.
"So, what, I'm not your slave. Besides, she's my friend no matter what you say."
Relena crossed her arms. Lately. She had been acting bold, and it scared him deep down inside. She was acting vindictive, sneaky, and mischievous, dear god, she was turning into one of them. She was turning in royalty.
Ah well, it had to happen sometime.
He smiled down at her, she was still wrapped in her towel, when he noticed this, he turned away so she could dress. After she had finished they had resumed their talk.
"I'm telling you that something is going to go down between Lilly and Noin, its not going to be pretty."
She nodded her head. She and Lilly knew that if it came to hand-to-hand, Lilly was done for, but a battle of mental games was another story. Both were strong, but Noin was loosing interest in Zechs fast. And Relena had to do something about it.
"Well, I don't care, as long as Lilly doesn't take the throne. Look, I don't want to hear another word. Lets just get some sleep, okay."
He bowed low making her giggle. They both got into bed and started to fall asleep.
"Night Relena."
"Goodnight Heero."

BWHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Heero's pussy whipped!! This is a Relena/ Heero fic, and many others; right now the focus is on 6 and 9 okay! Sorry if I changed the mood to fast for you. Drop me a line, I know the pro wasn't worth reading, so, tell me if this was. If not, tell me, I take it all, the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. Also, don't worry; Heero is still the badass we all have come to love.
