(A/N: Hello! I feel inspired lately, so there you have the first chapter of a short series I have in my mind about one of the most classic love triangles of Gundam Wing, the one formed by Heero-Relena-Quatre, I haven't decided yet how it will end. It depends on what my sick mind decides. I don't intend to take ages for the next update so the series should end pretty soon. As usual: YES; I DON'T BLOODY OWN GUNDAM WING OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS ALTOUGH I WOULDN'T MIND OWNING HEERO FOR A LITTLE WHILE!! Geez, I'm so mentally disturbed…someone call an ambulance…)

Anything for the one you love

CHAPTER ONE

I've always thought she would be there for me forever.

I was very wrong: the paper this morning announced what I had been fearing for the last few weeks. 'Mr Winner, owner of the Winner Enterprises is delighted to announce his engagement to Vice Foreign Minister Miss Relena Darlian-Peacecraft'.

Well I guess it was my own bloody fault. I had been taking for granted Relena's affections. I thought that somehow I could keep her attention effortlessly.

Like I said, I was wrong and now, me, the great Heero Yuy, had come across the unthinkable. If Relena had chosen somebody else, maybe one of her stupid politician friends, it would have been easier to deal with the whole thing. What stung more than anything else was the fact that she had directed her attention towards one of my very few friends: Quatre Raberba Winner.

Is not that I couldn't see the reasons why they were together. My cold, emotionless soldier's mind was helping me to keep everything in a very objective perspective. They were both heirs to a huge fortune, they had been brought up to be able to face all sorts of negotiations. They were both highly involved with all the diplomatic affairs that came with the newly formed ESUN. Also, if you actually came to think of it, they even looked good together.

Like a prince with her princess.

The only small problem was that it just hurt too damn much seeing them together. For this I had to blame Relena. She had been the one insisting that I had to find my human side. That I had to get all these human feelings back. Well, I did. And now I just didn't have a clue what to do with these feelings.

Specially the one that was rotting my heart.

I wanted very badly to go back to my usual self but I knew that it would be impossible, there was no way back. And, besides, I just didn't want to. It had felt so good, so liberating being able to feel loved and to get that warm feeling inside. This only happened when I saw Relena. It was because of her that I came to realise that I was not so good after all. That my lack of feelings made me inferior to her. And now I guess she has just grown tired of waiting for me and has decided to move on.

It was a very bad idea going away after the Marimeia thing. The only problem is that I just didn't want to accept my feelings and I needed time to think. Now I just couldn't cope with all these new developments. I was determined to do whatever it took to get her back. I just didn't know how yet, but I knew that, sooner than later, my mind but figure it out. I had to come up with a plan to get her back soon.


I woke up early like every morning, had a shower, got dressed and, after applying a light amount of make up, I went to the breakfast room. My maid was already there by the breakfast table. I picked up the paper and I read what I already knew. In front page there was the news about my engagement to Quatre.

I took a quick glance at my left hand and I saw my new, beautiful solitaire. It was probably the most expensive ring in the whole jewellery shop. That was the way Quatre did everything that involved me. Always and nothing else than the best for me. If I came to think of it, it looked like Quatre was afraid of losing me. I kept reassuring him that my heart belonged to him now and that I would be with him my whole life. Quatre was definitely what I needed now. Someone kind hearted that shared my point of view regarding the ESUN affairs. Someone trustworthy that I could always rely on.

I knew that Quatre would never fail me.

I don't know when my heart stopped being romantic and had become so pratical. I guess after all the pain I went through with Heero, I decided that I would settle for something safer and more rewarding and Quatre was exactly what a girl like me needed. We could build up a long term relationship together. One that would bring us happiness. I just felt good being with him. We may not be the most passionate of the couples but we were what matters the most in a relationship: really good friends.

We definitely made a good team. We understood each other and besides, he was a very decent kisser, not that I had lots of samples to compare from but I liked the way that Quatre kissed. He was sweet and tender but could also be serious and reflexive when the occasion called for it. So far we had not got any further than a kiss. With him being Islamic he had a very strong idea regarding sex before marriage. That was fine by me. I was actually glad that he was so attached to his beliefs. That made him most appealing. I think I could count myself lucky for having someone like him next to me. And, after all, I knew that Quatre loved me more than anything else.

I could tell by everything he did for me.

The only possible flaw in all of this was that I had the distinct feeling that Quatre felt somewhat guilty regarding Heero. I guessed so because Quatre never spoke about Heero and, whenever somebody not very discreet like Duo, spoke about him I could sense Quatre looking at me trying to find some sort of reaction from me. That, I was careful enough, not to let it happen.


I cannot believe I had the guts to do it: I had finally managed to ask Relena to marry me. And the unbelievable thing is that she had actually said yes. That made me the happiest guy on ESUN.

I remember when I met her. She was like an angel to me. A very unattainable angel too. In fact, when I realised that she was so much in love with Heero I felt so jealous that it almost made me regret I hadn't killed Heero when I was under the effects of the Zero System. The only thing that stopped me doing it now was thinking how sad that would make Relena.

I just couldn't bear the fact of seeing Relena broken hearted.

So, after the last war, the one with Marimeia's army, when Heero had disappeared again leaving Relena desperate for his love, I decided I would make my move. It worked. I somehow managed to cheer her up and, with time, she had began to care for me. She will probably never care for me as much as I care for her but I will do my best to make her happy. She deserves it so much.

The only problem is Heero.

Is not that I want her to totally forget him for that would be like asking the desert's sand to become water, but I really would love that Relena's feelings for him faded with time to become nothing more than a long distance memory. It was my job to help her doing that. I was actually very lucky that I counted on Milliardo Peacecraft's support. It was a hell of a lot easier if you had her family backing you up.

The only problem was that uneasy feeling I had in my heart. I was terrified that one day Relena would tell me that she was not in love with me so I did every effort so she was kept happy at all times. For example, I was happy with having her doing her job even after our wedding even though the Islamic tradition wants the wife to stay home, but again I was a very modern Islamic person and I didn't actually mind if my wife had a good deal of independence.

Naturally, she knows that if she ever wants to quit she only has to say so. I have promised her that she will always do as she pleases. Because I love her more than I will ever be able to express with words. I need her more than the air I breathe. I only hope that time will come when she'll feel the same way about me.
