"…And thanks to Ms. Relena Peacecraft, we have managed to overcome these difficulties," droned the man at the head of the table. Duo looked up from his doodling as Heero walked in.
"You're late," he whispered helpfully as Heero seated himself in the chair next to Duo.
"Hn." Across the table, Relena narrowed her eyes as she saw Heero. Then she smoothed her features and smiled at him. Duo looked at her, then back at Heero.
"She likes you."
Heero glanced sharply at Duo. "What?"
The American grinned and leaned back against his chair. "She likes you." At the blank look he received, he went on. "You know. A crush? Falling in love?" Heero's eye started to twitch in irritation, and Duo grinned again.
Heero snuck a look at Relena. She was listening intently to the speaker. Turning back, he glared at Duo, who shrugged and smirked, then made doe eyes at him. "Oh Heee~eeerooooo."
His glare intensified. "Omae o korasu."
Duo smirked again. "Ha. Shinigami's afraid of no one."
Heero exhaled noisily. The stupid guy sitting next to him was starting to get on his nerves…no point in listening to him anymore. Instead, he contented himself on gazing across the table, where Relena sat. He could feel Duo's amused glance fixed on him. Well, who cared what the idiot thought.
A few minutes later, Relena turned her head slightly, caught Heero looking at her, and grinned. A light came into her eyes, almost playful. Heero blinked. There was something else… No. It was his imagination. The back of his eyes started to itch suddenly, and he blinked a few more times. Relena's eyes brightened even more. The itching stopped.
Heero started to look away. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Relena hide a smile behind an elegant hand and he felt a warmth crawl up his neck and his face. Duo's smirk widened. "You're blushing…you like her too. Double ha!"
Heero glared, but no matter how hard he tried, the warmth wouldn't leave his face. In fact, it seemed to intensify. He finally just buried his face in his cupped hands and waited for the speeches to be over.
