Relena started wandering around, in deep thought. She didn't even notice that Heero was watching from above as she passed by the boy's dormitories. Soon she found herself in the gardens. "Heero…" she said softly.

As she sat down on a bench she started to remember all those sad memories she wanted to forget. The deaths, the tears, the sorrow. Heero had given her hope and the will to live, but he had told her, that he was nothing compared to her. She didn't believe it, and she still doesn't.

The sad memories kept coming and Relena couldn't hold onto her tears any longer. "My dear brother. I'm sorry; I'm so weak and helpless. How could I promise peace when, inside I can't even understand myself?" she said quietly as her tears began to flow.

Watching from afar, as Heero was almost destroyed, and she couldn't do anything about it. The sight of her father's death, and the pain of never knowing her biological father and mother. The protection she needed, and could not give the same protection for her loved ones. The promises that were broken, and the ones that were kept. The hearts of civilians, and the lost of them. The peace that was hard to obtain, and the repeat of it. Heero and all the ex-gundam pilots had suffered so much. There was always this one question She had always wanted to ask Heero, but she was afraid to invade his privacy.

Relena sat there as she stared off into space. There was a blank look in her eyes, as the images were replayed over and over again. Her strength seemed to be drained away and her face grew pale. She now knew that what she had always felt for Heero were more than just plain friendship, but how would she tell him. This only lead to more confusion and uncertainty.

Heero got up from the spot he had been sitting for so long. A walk would probably clear his mind a bit, he had thought as he jumped off the roof and landed on the ground with injuring himself. He knew his affection for Relena would only lead to the downfall of everything they had worked so hard to achieve, so loving her was not an option. What other choice did her have, but to forget about her.

As Heero was walking, he was passing by the garden that Relena was in. 'Why is she crying? Did I make her feel this way?' thought Heero as he walked toward her. She was in such deep thoughts, she didn't even see Heero coming.

Heero sat down beside her and stared at her for a moment, as Relena kept staring at the ground, not even blinking once. Her mind was clouded and her tears would not stop coming. Heero gently used his right hand and swept away one of her tears. Relena looked up, realizing she wasn't alone anymore. "Heero?" she said looking up at him. "Relena…" he said ever so softly. The tone of his voice, gave chills down her back. It showed so much about him, that she never really knew about.

Relena quickly wiped away her tears, and tried to forget those sad memories that just wouldn't leave her alone. They stared deeply at each other for a moment. Neither of them knew why the feeling of being together was so welcoming. Heero knew the truth, but was not planning to tell her about it. He couldn't risk it, and it was just impossible. He'd leave this school, first thing next week. This was the only rime he had left with her, and hopefully he wouldn't reveal anything.

"Heero?" started Relena breaking the moment. Heero cocked his head to a side and raised an eyebrow. It made him look so cut like that. "Why didn't destroy my brother when you had your chance? Isn't it true what you said about the war would never end unless my brother was eliminated?" asked Relena. Heero looked up at the now darkening sky. "I didn't want you to be sad." Said Heero with a straight answer. Relena hadn't expected that this would happen, but she smiled a bit and looked at the sky as the stars started to show it's light, giving hope to the ones who had none.

"Heero, you really are quite amazing." Said Relena. "Don't make me repeat myself Relena…" said Heero softly with his eyes closed and arms hanging over the ledge of the bench. "No, I'm serious Heero. You've been through so much over the past, but none of it has made you change. You're still you." Said Relena. "I'm nothing compared to you." Said Heero as he got up.

"Where are you going Heero?" asked Relena. "It's getting late, you better get some rest." Said Heero as he disappeared into the night. "Heero…" Relena whispered softly.

When Heero got back into his room, everyone in the dormitories was already asleep. Heero decided to started packing, maybe a week was a bit too long, he had thought to himself. "Files on Heero Yuy, deleted. Mission complete." He said as he destroyed his records of ever even coming to this school on his lab top.

"So, you planning to leave Heero." Said Trowa leaning against the entrance of the door. In his usual stance, eyes closed arms crossed.

Heero turned around. "Hm." "Aren't you worried about Relena?" asked Trowa not moving from his position. "She can take care of herself. Besides, you'll be here." Said Heero. "Actually, me and Catherine were planning to go winter skiing." Said Trowa, "And Wufei is heading back to Preventers HQ for the winter, he's putting in some data they might be needing. Duo and Hilde are flying over to Westler for winter. There seems to be a lot of snow there, and Quatre is staying with Dorothy for a while. To keep her company." Said Trowa. Heero looked at him, he knew he was being set up. "She can take care of herself." Repeated Heero.

"You're afraid aren't you?" asked Trowa opening his eyes and looking at Heero. For the first time in a long while, Trowa could see his emotions and his thoughts. "I see." He said. Heero turned around and faced his lab top again. "Reconsider Heero. Relena would be sad if you left. It so easy to break a women's heart." Said Trowa as he left silently. 'Especially hers.' thought Trowa as he headed back into his room.

Heero thought for a moment. He had always followed his emotions to do the right thing, but this time, it was different. He knew what his emotions were, and what he wanted but it was impossible.

"I feel sorry for that guy." Sighed Duo. "Heero, just doesn't know how he feels." Said Quatre. "He knows, that's why he's leaving." Said Trowa. "WHAT?!" yelled Duo. "Shhh." They whispered. All the ex-gundam pilots were in Trowa's room. "Heero has decided to leave. It's his decision, and I'm sure he'll choose the right one," said Trowa. "And I thought he was the most sane between the lot of us." said Wufei. "And what about you Wufei?" asked Duo. "Huh?" asked Wufei. "What are you really doing at Preventers HQ?" asked Duo suspiciously. "I'm not, Trowa told him, I didn't." said Wufei.

"He really is quite the guy." Said Trowa. He understood how Heero felt, and he wasn't about to go and stop him. "Are you guys crazy?! He's about to leave, aren't you going to stop him? What about Relena?" asked Duo. "Heero knows what's he doing." Said Quatre. "Are you sure?" asked Wufei.
