Chapter 2
The meeting was the strangest one everyone had attended. Tension had weigh heavily for all the twenty minutes it last. It was a surprise meeting that Relena had organised without disclosing clear motives behind it. It had been two weeks since Heero and Relena had their fight but this time Relena had decided to end their relationship by sending her personal bodyguard really far away from her. She couldn't stand his presence anymore.

"Nothing happened… I… We… made a mistake"
"Heero-"
"No! Just forget about it all!" he said coldly.

Relena clenched her teeth at the memory. She swallowed the anxiety that suddenly came like a wave to her stomach.
I am doing the right thing.
When the meeting ended, everyone left except for Hilde and Relena. Duo had sent a look at his wife before he had left and Hilde, seeing this, thrown him a kiss from afar to make him understand that he would be thanked later. Heero was gone quickly and did not look at anyone in the process. Hilde with hesitation went to Relena's side, looking at her with a worried gaze.
Relena, who was standing, decided at that moment to let herself fall into her chair. She pressed the palm of her hand to her forehead and produced a long sigh.
"Relena, what was that... Heero is really pissed! Why did you do that? Three weeks ago you were saying to me that he was acting nicer than ever before with you, and now suddenly you start to avoid the subject and him at the same time. Tell me, why have you assigned him to be one of the bodyguards of Lady Une?"
Relena looked at Hilde and sighed again. She didn't want to talk about it. The wound was still too painful.
"I don't want to talk about it Hilde, but I can promise you that when I am ready to tell the story, you will be the first to know. Now the only thing I can tell you is that Heero Yuy has broken my heart… And the thing that infuriates me the most is that he thinks I am the one who is responsible for all of it!"
Relena clenched her fists.
Hilde looked at Relena closely studying the situation. After a while she approached Relena closely and whispered to her.
"You can be sure that I will stand by your side and not let him continue to make you feel miserable."
"Thank you Hilde."
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: - : - :
Heero was frustrated. He couldn't understand why Relena was acting like this. He couldn't...
Arg! Relena, you are driving me crazy!
He then pushed with a swift movement the papers that were on his desk to the floor. Since the discovery of traitors amidst the bodyguards of Lady Une, the colonel had been lacking security. Jumping on that opportunity, Relena had decided to offer his services to Lady Une. When he had heard Relena propose that, he had felt stiff as if cold water had been thrown down his back.
He needed to see her.
Fast.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: - : - :
Hilde closed the door of the meeting room behind her. She as well noticed Lieutenant Noin pressed against the wall looking at her.
"Is she okay?" she voiced while closing her eyes.
"She will be I guess. Heero had behave like an ass it seems. I don't know much about it though."
"I see... Yesterday, I overheard them arguing. From what I understood, I can tell that Relena was defending herself from something they did. The fight went overboard, she slapped him, he called her weak and she screamed at him to leave. I spent the night comforting her. She was devastated. It's why today it didn't surprise me that much that she assigned him elsewhere."
"Whoa poor Relena. I wonder what happened..."
"All I can state is that he really blew it this time."
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: - : - :
He heard the door open and got up from the couch. He walked to the person who had just entered with a gleam in his eyes.
"Hello Hilde!" he said with a happy voice that was hiding some kind of sarcasm.
Hilde looked at her husband and knew it was the time for explaining. She smiled cutely first, hoping that it would placate him. His face was still hard as a stone.
"Listen Duo, I don't know what Heero did but I know he has hurt deeply Relena's feelings and I won't accept that. She's my best friend and-"
"So you don't even know why you made me sign the contract of my death! HILDE! Do you realize that Heero won't be happy that I took his place! He will cut my head! No, he will cut my arms and legs first and then he will cut my head! With that crazy gaze that he is so good at doing... He is a psycho Hilde! "
"Don't be silly! He is your best friend! He will never do that and you know it."
"Yeah maybe... but she is the woman he loves! Who knows what love can do to that man."
"Well if that statement is true, he needs to learn how to treat the woman he loves. She's not a damn toy so he should stop messing with her heart!" she said putting her hands on her hips, eyes blazing.
At that moment Duo pushed gently Hilde against the door and took her in his arms. His eyes that once held anger now held something quite different.
"You know you're sexy when you are mad?" he said flirtatiously. His gaze caressed the face of his wife. He was now looking intensively at her eyes.
"You are always turned on aren't you?" she said while giggling.
"Always! That's why you love me. Don't try and deny it."
He then put a sweet kiss on her lips and after took her face in one warm hand while he held her gaze.
"You know, you are right. Every woman loved by a man should be treat properly by him. And it is too bad Heero will have to learn that the hard way…"
