Silence
By: Silent Lullaby
I hold no claim to Gundam wing. However the story is mine.
****
I finally saw the two towers on Saturday. The movie is amazing and it feels much shorter than it actually is.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to write as much as I would have liked this weekend. I ended up not going home for the weekend and found that I had an enjoyable but hectic weekend.
I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed and I hope you will continue to tell me what you think.

The sound of many voices merging together greeted me. I could not tell one voice from another, there were too many and they sounded too similar. Iria must have gathered most of his sisters if not all of them to meet the silent Heero who stood beside me and the young girl Relena.
I listened to Heero's footsteps until they were lost in the noise. I headed towards my normal place but a firm but gentle hand fell upon my shoulder.
"Where do you think you are going young man? You are on the other side of the table tonight."
My confusion must have shown on my face because I could hear my sister Iria chuckle a little as she gave my shoulder a comforting squeeze.
"You understand what Heero is saying and he'll be in need of a translator with all of us girls wanting to get to know him. Besides you might be used to being surrounded by women but I doubt Heero is ready to be the lone man in a sea of eccentric women."
I nodded and smiled brightly. Once she released my shoulder I nearly skipped to my chair beside Heero. I could tell where he sat since his left foot seemed to tap with nervousness and his silence stood out in the noisy room.
"I'm to sit beside you and be your translator of sorts. I hope you don't mind."
I couldn't help but add that last part. Despite the events that had happened between us I still felt uncertain about his feelings towards me. As well as my feelings towards him.
Those fears were washed away when he grasped my hand in his own and wrote he was happy to have me near him. I felt heat rise to my cheeks as I sat down beside him and I hoped no one noticed it.
I tried to catch the a bit of conversation but there were too many voices talking about too many things for me to focus on one. Giving up I sipped at my water glass and laid my hands on my lap. I felt Heero's warm hand rest on top of mine and I could tell he was smiling.
I was happy to know that I could see Heero better than someone with perfect vision. I saw what counted, his warm spirit that seemed to have been enclosed in ice in order to protect itself.
I hear the sound of a knife hitting glass and the room quieted and grew silent.
"I'm glad everyone made it. I'd like to introduce you all to Relena Peacecraft and Heero Yuy."
In a rush of sound, the voices of twenty eight of my sisters filled the room. I could hear bits of words like welcome and it was nice to meet you. I felt Heero's hand squeeze mine from underneath the table and I knew he was being quite overwhelmed by everything. I placed my other hand on top of his in hope that it would put him at ease.
The sound of metal hitting glass filled the room again and women grew quiet.
"I know you want to get to know them but keep in mind not everyone is as used to a mass of women flocking about them as Quatre is. Anyway dinner is ready and about to be served so let them get used to the sheer number of us while we eat."
I was glad Iria realized how unnerving this could be fore someone not used to it. I still felt overwhelmed when everyone was home so I knew Heero and Relena were about to have a heart attack. I loved them all but at times they were a bit much.
I heard footstep around the table and the aroma of Greek food entered the room. Obviously Lorain had had her hand in what was to be served. She currently lived in Greece where she was an art historian. Though she could have chosen a more prestigious position in Paris she had fallen in love with the culture and of course the food of the Greeks.
Heero's hand pushed mine off and turned it so he could write a message. I barely contained my laughter. He had never had Greek food and didn't know what anything before him was. I whispered so that only he could hear my words.
I told him what foods I could identify through smell and described what they tasted like and what the looked like. Though I had not seen them myself for years I could still remember their unusual colors and looks.
Heero wrote me a thank you and squeezed my hand.
The rest of the meal went by in a blur. I whispered to Heero and he wrote his short messages back as we enjoyed the excellent meal. Several times I nearly choked with laughter when he told me what the food reminded him of. I knew some foods didn't look appetizing but tasted wonderful and that some looked harmless but certainly weren't to my taste at all, but Heero renewed my memories with his discoveries.
As the last fork was placed on the plate I felt truly happy for the first time in years. I knew my sisters loved me and did their best but there had always been that void that hadn't been filled until the mysterious Heero Yuy Had entered my life. I knew now that I loved him and I knew my sisters would like him. Sighing in content I stood with the others as we headed to the parlor, my hand brushing against Heero's from time to time and I knew he was smiling with me.
