~~~~~Heero P.O.V~~~~~

It had been hours.

Hours since Trowa and Quatre had left the girl in my room.

Hours I had spent staring. Watching.

And only minutes since Duo had pounded on the door. And now seconds..

"OPEN UP HEERO!"

I gave him no answer.

Like I had not for the last ten thousand times he had banged.

I didn't want him in this room. For reasons no one saw, and that I did not truly understand.

The war had ended, and we were no longer needed. And, we had all escaped this war alive.

This girl.

According to Trowa, had held back enough to keep them all alive. Just to dismantle them. She didn't want to kill.

Foolish.. And yet..

These times had opened my eyes. I could see once again.

I could feel.

It's been years since my humanity was stolen cold heartedly from me. And now it has returned in a shock wave of emotions.

One that began to stand out clearer than the others.

Love.

And that's why I stared.

That is why I watched her.

She had been strong in times that did not concern her. In places she need not be.

She had given everything for us, till the very end.

And I killed her father.

I don't know why I feel regrets. I shouldn't.

And yet, something kept nagging at me. And so I covered it up. All my concerns.. With the face of anger, the mask of indifference.

I had wanted to kill her, and yet I couldn't.

That is why I missed when she lunged at me.

I loved her.

I've never experienced love.. And I've never known it, but yet I still am sure that I do.

"HEERO OPEN UP DAMMIT!"

Duo again.

He was being so persistent. Just so he could get to her. I didn't want him now.

I blinked, eyes widening.

What now?

Jealousy?

Is that it?

Why am I feeling this?

Maybe I should welcome it.

I am no longer needed for war. There for, I no longer need to remain so indifferent. So strict. I can liven up, how Duo would say it.

And perhaps.

No.

She'd never even care about me.

I had killed her father.

Sorrow.

Would she forgive me? Is it possible? Can I help her see...that I didn't mean to? That I had to follow orders?

Unlike her, I followed the rules set for me.

She wouldn't understand.

She didn't follow rules.

"Heero!"

I heard Duo sigh in frustration on the other side of my door. And then his footsteps walking away.

I was being foolish.

This girl.. She loved Duo.. And he loved her.

I was just an idiot, hoping for the impossible. The love of a girl who despises me. How can I be so blind?

I'd forget all of this. But I can't.

There was just something about her.

Something I can't figure out. Something that draws me.

Something..

Eyes closing, I slowly drifted off to sleep.

I'd think about it in the morning. Perhaps then she would be awake.
