"Duo?" I begin hesitantly, taking a step towards the watery eyed pilot. He
blinks a few times in rapid succession, trying to get rid of the tears that
are threatening to fall, before he replies.
"Yeah? What is it Heero?" he asks. The cheerfulness in his voice sounds forced, even more so than usual.
Here it goes… Second time today… Hopefully I won't be interrupted this time… "I'm sorry that Relena acted like that; she had no right to do so." I pause for a moment, debating whether I should voice my next thought; there's no telling if he'll be angry or amused, but I'll go ahead and say it. "I'll do my best to keep the two of you from having to spend any time together alone." I can't help but tag on the nagging little thought at the back of my conscience: "Just to make sure neither of you gets injured."
A grin appears on his face, and I can tell that it's a real one this time. "Heh. Thanks, Hee-chan. It's probably best that way; my braid has a tendency to snake out and whip around on its own a lot when she's in the room."
At least that's settled. One less thing for me to worry about.

~~~ I don't know if he did that for my own good, Relena's safety, or his own sanity, but… I'm thankful. It makes me feel better about things. I don't have to worry as much about strangling Little Miss Princess to death.
I wonder how Q-man, Tro, and Wuffie are doing? ~~~
