Disclaimers: Okay, I hate to admit it, but, *sob* I don't own GW or any of it's characters *sob*
AN: Okay, thank you to all my wonderful reviewers! I'm so happy that there are people actually reading my stuff! Anyway um… Here's the next part. Should be some more mush, possibly even an advance in the plot. (yeah right) But hope you like.
P.S. about the last chapter, the mess hall was empty cause all the preventors were at work. I forgot to mention that at the end of the last chapter. (Bad memory)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero, Duo, Trowa, and Relena finished their small breakfast about half an hour later. Trowa claimed he had some stuff to do on the shuttle, and said that Duo needed to come help him. That left Heero and Relena alone again.
"So, um, Heero, do think we could go see my brother now?" Relena asked wringing her hands nervously.
Heero frowned, "The med unit isn't open to visitors for another half hour." His frown deepened at Relena's dismayed little, 'oh.' Immediately he tried to think of something to cheer her up. "Hey, he'll be alright, it's 100% curable. The worst that'll happen is he'll lose his legs," Heero affirmed pulling Relena into a hug. She sighed a little and leaned against his chest.
She shook her head, "I'm sure he'll be alright, it's just that. It's just that he's my brother. If anything happens to him I want to be there for him like I should have been for years. We never knew each other and the idea of him being in pain hurts me inside. Especially if I can't be there to comfort him," Relena paused a moment. "Wait a minute. What did you mean, 'he'll lose his legs'?"
Heero grimaced, "He's been infected with a disease that infects the spine and cause paralysis for certain parts of the body. Where the infection in the spine is, that's the body part effected. In Zechs's case, it's his legs. The way to treat it is relatively painless, just a few rounds of powerful antibiotics, he's lucky that only his legs were effected. If it were another part of him it could have been more serious."
Relena nodded. "Um, Heero, I never did thank you guys for taking me to see Miliardo." She placed a hand on his face and turned it slightly to get a look at the fading purple bruise. "And I never did apologize for punching you or slapping the others. I was just mad that you'd kidnap me for no reason and so forth and so on. You understand, right."
Heero pulled her closer, "Sure I understand but an apology would still be welcome," he murmured.
She grinned at him impishly, "What'd ya have in mind?"
He smiled back at her, "let's see, maybe a nice long kiss, a massage, your car," he stopped when Relena smacked his arm playfully.
"Well, now let me think, the kiss, I suppose I could manage that, a massage, maybe later when we're positive the guys can't bother us, but there is no way you're getting my car. Do you have any idea how long it took me to find an A.D. 2000 Corvette? Do have any idea how much it cost to, A) purchase the original, B) update it so I can drive it, and C) The insurance?" She smacked him again.
"Will you share?" he asked leaning over to kiss her neck.
"Hmm. Let me think, should I share, with a reckless, suicidal, guy who's every intentions are to drive me crazy?"
"You forgot good looking," he added glancing up from her neck.
She smiled and pulled away. Relena walked around him, examining him. "Let's see. Nice legs, a six pack, muscular arms, all in all not too muscular, tall, dark, possibly handsome, roguish, nice ass. I guess we could call you good looking. But you're still not getting my car."
Heero pouted, (I mean actually pouting)
"No and I mean no." She laughed at the still pouting expression. "Don't look at me like that," Relena said between giggles.
Heero grinned, "Like what?" he said grinning at her devilishly. Heero leaped forward and pulled her closer.
"Not like that, either," she giggled and kissed the tip of his nose. Then leaned against him. "I don't know what I'd have done without you." She whispered.
Heero gently began stroking her hair, "me neither."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Noin walked up behind Trowa and Duo, (who were both on the verge of bursting) "What's wrong with you two?" she asked tapping Duo on the shoulder.
The Great Shiningami was so surprised by Noin's sudden appearance, gave a little yelp, slipped, and fell crashing to the floor. "Don't do that!" he hissed getting up.
Trowa looked at her, then pointed around the corner. Heero currently had Relena backed against the wall and was kissing the living daylights out of her, not that Relena was innocent. Noin's eyes widened and then she started staring with the other two. After about twenty minutes of watching them Noin finally got it together and remembered why she was here.
"Uh guys, I hate to break up the show Zechs wants to see his sister and they should be able to get in now."
"They?" Trowa raised an eyebrow.
"I figured you two really don't need to go see him. Besides I'm sure having three gundam pilots surround him when he's sick, would make him a little nervous. I'm sure it will be hard enough with Heero in there."
Duo who hadn't been paying any attention what so ever turned to Noin and looked at her, "So when do we get to see the Lighting Count?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero backed away from Relena and smirked at the breathless look on her face. Noin chose that time to conveniently appear. "Miss Relena, it's nice to see you again."
Relena blushed but smiled, "It's nice to see you too. It really has been a while hasn't it?" she asked reaching for Heero's hand.
Noin chose to overlook that fact, "Your brother's been itching to see you, so should go?"
Relena nodded and she and Heero followed Noin to the med unit.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Miliardo sat up in his bed as best he could when his sister entered his room. Relena immediately ran to his bed and flung her arms around him.
"I missed you so much!" she hugged him tighter.
Miliardo hugged her back, "I missed you too little sister. I've noticed that you've grown up some. Look at you," Relena blushed.
Noin and Heero watched the sibling reunion with a light heart. It was beautiful how the two of them just held each other not caring about anything except that they were together again. After so long, after so much pain, they finally could be together like siblings should. Heero smiled, there was no doubt in his mind that he did the right thing. Bringing her here was the most worthwhile thing he had ever done in his life. ~On more than one account,~ he mused unconsciously bringing his hand to lightly touch his lips.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Miliardo, I'm so happy to see you! How, how are you feeling? It doesn't hurt does it? Am I hurting you?" Relena asked sitting back.
Her brother just chuckled, "I'm happy to see you too, I'm feeling fine, my legs don't hurt they just feel numb, and no you're not hurting me. Any other questions?"
Relena slapped his arm playfully, "Not funny."
He shook his head, "And how've you been doing, dear sister? I'm afraid it's hard to keep an eye on you from where I am," he chuckled lightly.
"Fine," Relena looked at Heero, "check that. Really well," she finished.
Miliardo narrowed his eyes momentarily, then looked brightly to his sister, "I really have missed you."
The two conversed for sometime, chatting about nothing in particular, while their respective loves watched with content smiles. Finally a nurse came in and told them that Miliardo had to take his medications, (as in get his daily shot) and that they all had to leave, except for Noin.
Heero exited with Relena and as soon as they were out of the room immediately kissed.
"What on earth was that for?"
Heero shrugged, "you're fun to kiss."
The two were soon at 'it' again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Noin felt like she going to be sick. Okay sure, they loved each other, okay fine, they're young and restless, but could they at least give it a break and save it for a room? She sighed and walked up behind them, tapping Heero lightly on the shoulder. For possibly the first time in his life Heero was surprised, in manner much the same as Duo, he gave a small yelp, slipped and fell to the ground, managing to somehow drag Relena down with him.
The two managed to untangle themselves and stand up, Relena's whole face was beet read and seemed to find the floor extremely interesting. Heero just stared around the room looking sheepish.
"Okay you two," Noin finally said, "Yuy, Zechs wanted to talk to you about something, Relena, come with me, we can go find out about what happened with the bag of your stuff the guys were supposed to bring," she was starting to sound like the Lieutenant from the wars. Heero 'hnned' and went into Zechs's room while the two women headed off in the other direction.
