Let Me Go
~!~!~!~!~
He pecks me on the cheek softly, "Let's go...Hee-chan."
I pause.
"Say that again." I order.
"Um...Let's--"
"No, the last word."
"Hee-chan?"
"Again."
"Hee-chan."
"Again."
"Hee-chan."
"Again."
"Hee-chan, Hee-chan, Hee-chan, Hee-chan! Enough?"
"For now I suppose."
Hee-chan, I miss being called Hee-chan...
"Again."
"Heero!"
"Okay, maybe later?" I ask hopefully.
He smiles at me and claims my lips, "Mmm, Heero can we go now?"
I nod. He grabs my bag and my hand, I have decided that I love holding hands with Duo. I entwin our fingers together, he squeezes my hand in return, like last night. I wrap my free arm around him, "Matteo..." I can't help myself.
"Nani?" he asks.
"Duo......" I look up at him, he reads my mind. He bends down and kisses me while twisting the handle to the door, it opens. He drops the bag then wraps his arm around my waist, I melt. I haven't felt like this since I left. I love his kisses...
"Ahem..." a muffled voice coughs...politely.
I don't care who it is, I keep my arm wrapped around Duo. Apparently he doesn't mind either, his arm is still snaked around my waist.
"Gomen ne, Heero, Duo."
Duo pulls away and looks down at the voice, "Ohayo, Ojou-san!" he says cheerfully.
"Ohayo gojaimas." she smiles, "I see everything is well here."
"Yes, everything is well." Duo replies. I am unaware that a slight red color has crept up under my cheeks. Oh well. What is Relena doing here this early? On a Saturday too. Hn. "Heero and I will be leaving now."
"Oh? But you haven't even eaten breakfast yet." she says still smiling just as Duo is. They are being awfully...friendly with each other today...normally when they are together, they are usually bickering with each other like children over a desired toy, namely me. Is it just me...or did I miss something? Something BIG. I exchange my glances from Duo to Relena, Duo to Relena, Duo to Relena, Duo to Relena, Duo to--
"That's okay, we aren't really that hungry," he chuckles, "but thank you anyway."
Relena smiles and glances at me, "You don't mind if I borrow Heero for just a second do you?"
"Of course not!" Duo smiles back.
My eyes dart back and forth from Duo to Relena repetitiously again. I don't understand what's happening. They're...getting along! And smiling at each other like idiots. Have they befriended each other? I then feel myself being slightly pushed toward the girl. I look up at Duo.
"Go on Heero." he tells me.
"Yes, come Heero, it will only take a minute."
"I'll go wait by the main entrance, okay?"
.........
...what the hell is going on?
Before I know it, Relena and I are walking around the house, she's being quiet...for once. She sighs and begins to speak in a sincere voice, "Heero, I have a confession to make."
"Hn."
"I-I...oh, how do I put this?" her delicate, yet thick eyebrows knit together as she thinks of what to say next, "Heero I-"
I look at her with a slight impatience, but nevertheless wait for her to complete her thought.
"I don't love you."
......She doesn't love me? I was about to retort 'I know that' in a rude manner as usual, but instead, I stare at her with intense prussian waiting for her to explain herself more elaborately.
"I...don't think I ever did."
Her words should hurt right? Well, they don't. Actually, I fell...relieved that she doesn't love me. At least I know that running away with Duo won't break her heart, I don't need another enemy on my lengthy list you know.
"Gomen nasai Heero, but I realize that you were just a crush..."
"...I know." I reply, I've always known that. And I was wondering when her crush would end, but I have never imagined it. Yet here it is in black and white, right in my face for me to accept. I never thought I'd see the day. The day that Relena Peacecraft loses interest. The day she gives up. The day she lets me go. One word rings through my thoughts, 'finally'.
"I've been obsessive, but it was all a phase...I'm sorry that you've wasted a year and a half here with me. I'm glad you did though. Even if we didn't get anything accomplished, I now know that you and I aren't destined to be like I wanted us to..." she paused giving herself time to gather the right words, and continues, "I liked and still do like you Heero, your looks, I mean, from the day I first met you. Your personality is what drives us apart, I'm sorry, but I can't stand it.
I thought that if you and I were together, I could change it--YOU, instead of leaving you the way you were. I know that you and I aren't the closest people, I think partly because I wanted you to be someone who you weren't. I thought it would be easy, but you are indeed, like I've said a million times before: impossible. I realize, that if I truly loved you, I would accept you the way you were...like Duo. As long as I've known him, he's never tried to change you or anything, he just tried to open you up--something that I could never do. I tried to change you...I'm sorry.
With that said, I want you to live a better life, one with Duo, your love. I know you and I can still be friends, right?"
I was left speechless, she *FINALLY* realizes that? Oh well, better now than never. More over, I can't believe she told me that, so forward and straight out. This was the last thing to expect from her. I'm grateful though, I know what she's a good girl--woman. "Sure." I reply. She smiles and I smirk at her for the first time in the short two years that I've known Miss Relena. We stand there in silence for a moment. I suppose she can't take it anymore, she dismisses me.
"Go on Heero! Don't let me keep you, Duo is waiting!" she says smiling. I look around, we're at the main entrance and there by the door is Duo. I turn to the blond.
"Arigato Relena-san..." is the only thing I can think of saying. I walk--er jog...alright! I ran over to Duo. I couldn't wait to be by his side again. I couldn't wait to be in his arms. I couldn't wait, I couldn't wait, I couldn't wait! So I do. I just go.
"Ready?" he asks me.
"Hai." I latch on to his arm and look back at Relena. She waves and I catch a glimpse of a golden band on her ring finger...
That was funny, I don't remember her getting a...wait. That's not an ordinary ring...it's an-- *ENGAGEMENT* ring! Relena's engaged, how come I didn't notice it before? She must have gotten it last night on her birthday. That's it. It has to be, otherwise I would have seen it sooner. Now the question is...who is it?
~!~!~!~!~
"What did she talk to you about, Hee-chan?" Duo asked wheel as we headed back...home, *OUR* home, mind you. I do have a home. One with Duo. A happy home at that.
"Say that again."
"What did--"
"No, the last word."
"...Didn't we already do this?"
I shrug, "So?"
"Tell me about your conversation first."
I thought for a moment, "She let me go." I say.
Duo chuckled, "About time. Took her a long time too..." he said to himself.
"Nani?"
"Nothing."
"You're lying."
He gives me a look, "I'd never!"
"What do you mean 'took her a long time too'?" I ask him.
Duo ran his left hands through his jagged bangs, "Okay, I admit, I haven't been *completely* honest with you."
I cock an eyebrow.
"I was honest with you, everything I said was the truth...I just...didn't tell you all of it."
I expect an explanation, and he knows it.
"She asked me to come and take you away with me."
"Nani??? She *ASKED* you to get me?"
He laughs a nervous laugh, "Um...yeah." I ask him if she told him why. He glanced at me then answered, "Well, okay it's like this babe," I smirk when he says 'babe', one of his casual terms he calls people, women in particular. At first him when he referred to me as 'babe', it disturbed me, then I some how found it flattering in some strange way. Don't ask.
"So one night I get this call early in the morning at around 2 or 3 AM. It's Relena, and I wonder what the hell she's doing calling me in the middle of the night. Not that I was sleeping or anything, but you know how I was with her. Anyway, she admits that she devised a plan with the plot of 'steal Heero from Duo and keep him herself'. Of course, I already knew that. I only listen to what she says. She said, and I quote, 'Heero is miserable Duo. He never talks, only grunts, and when he does talk to me, it's in disgust, he's so cold now, more than he was during the war, he's rude and opinionated, and not as charming as he used to be, he's impossible! I can't take it anymore, you have to do something Duo! Anything!
I don't like him like this. I can see the image of you in his eyes every time I look at them. I know that you're the only person who he talks to, I know that you're the only person who he truly trusts, and I know that you're the only person who can help him. Please Duo! If you don't help him, I'm afraid...he might go...psychotic! I'm sorry I took him from you, and I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner. I didn't mean-...Please! Just do something!!!' she said quite hysterically if you ask me. She was sobbing, I could hear her sniffling on the other line. I was rather surprised. I asked her what she proposed I do.
'I'm sure you're aware that I don't love him, aren't you? You've always known that. If you love him Duo, you'll take him from me and live happily like you did before!' she said. Honestly, I can't believe she told me that...Of course I knew she never loved you..."
He stops for a moment, I assume to breathe since he has said more than a mouthful, then starts up again, "So then, I come down there and get you. Thus, here we are now."
"Aa..." I reply, and ask, "If you knew, what took you so long in the first place?"
He sighs, "I came up with a theory over the past year, if you loved me, you'd come back. You didn't come back, leaving me to assume that you didn't love me...I just wanted you to be happy, Heero." he says taking his finger tips and caressing my left cheek, "That's all I want, for you to be happy..."
My mending heart shatters, but in a good way, if that's possible. Perhaps 'shatter' isn't the word. More like 'melts'...it must because that's just what happened. I close my eyes and lean into his gentle caress. I want to sob a year's worth of bottled up emotion on his shoulder, I want him to hold me while I cry, I want to forget about the past and live on...with Duo. "Duo......"
"Why are you crying Heero?"
I'm crying? I open my eyes, and indeed, I realize that I'm crying...but I don't know why. I remember that I hate crying because it's a weakness. I wipe away the tears with the back of my palm, but it doesn't change the the fact that I was sobbing like a baby. I'm comfortable with Duo seeing me like this, it's not the first time, but I'm ashamed of the tears I shed as a man, at least when I can help it. Demo, I think everybody needs a good cry every now and then--I do! Even if I don't do it, I still think everyone does...I'll do it when we get home.
I don't, however, answer Duo. He chooses to let it alone and move on to a new question.
"Why did you leave, Heero?"
Like I said before, I was scared, but of what? I think for a moment, and the answer is crystal clear. I know why now. I think I deserve the idiot award that was being saved for Duo. I reply without hesistation, "I was scared of being loved. Not anymore though. I have you to shelter me."
"That's right. My poor, poor Hee-chan, afraid becaused he was loved. I've never heard such a thing..." he says in a sort of teasing manner, then smirks, "I saw you eyeing Miss Relena's finger this morning..." I cock an eyebrow, and he continues, "I suppose you're wondering who gave the ring to her?"
"Hn." is my infamous reply.
"Now if you're going to be *that* way, no point in tellin' ya."
"You know?" I ask surprised.
"Doesn't everyone?"
"No."
"Too bad for you. They make a GREAT couple..." I give him a glare, "You're so cute when you're annoyed, you know that?" my glare deepens and I grunt, "Okokokokok, I'll tell you. It's..."
I know my eyes have bugged out of my head and nearly fell on the floor. I'm shocked. It was the last person who I would ever suspect.
"DOROTHY?!"
I can't believe it.
Well...yes I can.
~!~!~!~!~
A less than week later, Duo and I were living peacefully in happiness. Braid swaying, Duo walked behind me into the dining room where I was setting up the table for us to eat at. Unbuttoning his blue oxford shirt, he slapped down the weekly newspaper on the table and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"You're so cute with that apron on..." he whispers in my ear firmly squeezing my hips.
"Hn." I reply. I hate this apron-thing, but if Duo likes it...I think I could get used to it.
Inhaling my scent, he nestles his head in crook of my neck and murmurs, "Read the headline, Hee-chan."
It's difficult to read when someone's hand is under your shirt and apron attempting to pull them off and nipping at your ear and neck, not to mention *pinching*, but I manage.
'Vice Foreign Minister Darlin's Bodyguard Missing!', it reads. I can't help but snicker.
"I know, funny isn't it?"
"Aa..." I reply. We forget about dinner as he carries me off somewhere in the small house.
Relena's bodyguard is not missing. Oh no.
She knows exactly where he is, and so does he...
Home.

owari
~!~!~!~!~
How was this *coughcough* late thing? Okay, for people who didn't get a Relena-bashing kick, I'm sorry, but in my next story, there will be. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you. I just wanted Relena to be..."good" for once, ya know? It's fun to try new things, and this was one of them. I hope it wasn't that bad, I know some of you don't like her, and others may. Oh well, I still have more plots and stories to post. I fixing to post another on right now. Sometime about Duo and his ability in the kitchen. So I just hoped that you enjoyed!
~!~!~!~!~
Arigato minna-san!
Violet Yuy-Maxwell: I'm glad you like his personality, it's always fun to put a little twist with OOCness, ya know? Heero and Duo are the cutest couple ever, ne?; Laurel-Crowned: I don't know if this was enough drama for you, I didn't really want to make Relena a bad guy (not sayin' whther she is or isn't). So I thought things should be mutual. I don't know whether or not that thought worked. -_-; What do you think?; Hakumei: Heehee, I'm glad that you're glad and I'm sorry about your weepy-ness. Anyway, thank you for the encouragement!; LB: I hope this part explained why Heero paused. Wah, I'm so glad that you enjoy my style of Hee-chan. I think he 100 times cuter too ^_^!; moonbunny317: Heehee, Duo's not the only humorous one, ne?; Pallas: I replied to you in an e-mail, sorry it's been so long -_-; I hope you got your fishtank cleaned up. Poor fishies! j/k TTYL!; Yume Maxwell-Yuy: Yume-chan! I replied to you! You must tell me what's going on!; Rei: It wasn't a crappy story! How can you say that Rei-chan? Wow, are you saying that I, me, little cobalt kitty, can take something really boring, and make it interesting? That's so nice! Arigato! I'm glad you like my writing!; Sugar Goose: So what exactly did you do on Spring Break, if you don't mind me asking, we're finally on ours, that's how I got to write alittle (finally!). Thank you for all the nice compliments!; x1-TaKeN-oVeR: Heehee, I'm glad you like this. I came out with a part four--just as you asked for ^_^, though it was alittle late -_-; Arigato!
Ja ne!
Have a good day!

I know my eyes have bugged out of my head and nearly fell on the floor. I'm shocked. It was the last person who I would ever suspect.
"DOROTHY?!"
I can't believe it.
Well...yes I can.

A less than week later, Duo and I were living peacefully in happiness. Braid swaying, Duo walked behind me into the dining room where I was setting up the table for us to eat at. Unbuttoning his blue oxford shirt, he slapped down the weekly newspaper on the table and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"You're so cute with that apron on..." he whispers in my ear firmly squeezing my hips.
"Hn." I reply. I hate this apron-thing, but if Duo likes it...I think I could get used to it.
Inhaling my scent, he nestles his head in crook of my neck and murmurs, "Read the headline, Hee-chan."
It's difficult to read when someone's hand is under your shirt and apron attempting to pull them off and nipping at your ear and neck, not to mention *pinching*, but I manage.
'Vice Foreign Minister Darlin's Bodyguard Missing!', it reads. I can't help but snicker.
"I know, funny isn't it?"
"Aa..." I reply. We forget about dinner as he carries me off somewhere in the small house.
Relena's bodyguard is not missing. Oh no.
She knows exactly where he is, and so does he...
Home.

How was this *coughcough* late thing? Okay, for people who didn't get a Relena-bashing kick, I'm sorry, but in my next story, there will be. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you. I just wanted Relena to be..."good" for once, ya know? It's fun to try new things, and this was one of them. I hope it wasn't that bad, I know some of you don't like her, and others may. Oh well, I still have more plots and stories to post. I fixing to post another on right now. Sometime about Duo and his ability in the kitchen. So I just hoped that you enjoyed!

Arigato minna-san!
Violet Yuy-Maxwell: I'm glad you like his personality, it's always fun to put a little twist with OOCness, ya know? Heero and Duo are the cutest couple ever, ne?; Laurel-Crowned: I don't know if this was enough drama for you, I didn't really want to make Relena a bad guy (not sayin' whther she is or isn't). So I thought things should be mutual. I don't know whether or not that thought worked. -_-; What do you think?; Hakumei: Heehee, I'm glad that you're glad and I'm sorry about your weepy-ness. Anyway, thank you for the encouragement!; LB: I hope this part explained why Heero paused. Wah, I'm so glad that you enjoy my style of Hee-chan. I think he 100 times cuter too ^_^!; moonbunny317: Heehee, Duo's not the only humorous one, ne?; Pallas: I replied to you in an e-mail, sorry it's been so long -_-; I hope you got your fishtank cleaned up. Poor fishies! j/k TTYL!; Yume Maxwell-Yuy: Yume-chan! I replied to you! You must tell me what's going on!; Rei: It wasn't a crappy story! How can you say that Rei-chan? Wow, are you saying that I, me, little cobalt kitty, can take something really boring, and make it interesting? That's so nice! Arigato! I'm glad you like my writing!; Sugar Goose: So what exactly did you do on Spring Break, if you don't mind me asking, we're finally on ours, that's how I got to write alittle (finally!). Thank you for all the nice compliments!; x1-TaKeN-oVeR: Heehee, I'm glad you like this. I came out with a part four--just as you asked for ^_^, though it was alittle late -_-; Arigato!
Ja ne!
Have a good day!
