The One I Love chapter 4 ~*Duos POV*~
I sat in out room, listening to Heero Type on his laptop. We were still in the same safe house, none of us really having a desire to go anywhere else, it was actually quite comfortable here.
'It's almost like everything was back to normal, except for the small detail that Heero was getting married to Relena tomorrow!'
I sighed and looked over at Heero.
"Why?" I asked him quietly.
He stopped typing and looked over to me. He raised one of his eyebrows at me. I smiled slightly; he was so cute sometimes.
"Why are you going to marry Relena? Do you even love her?" I asked. He just snorted and turned back to his laptop. I sighed, but decided to continue anyway.
"I mean, I used to think that you loved her, but then I noticed that you never look at her like you love her. You look at her like you do everyone else, with your cold emotionless mask. So if you don't love her, why are you marrying her?" Heero stopped typing and was quiet for a minute.
"How would you know if I love her or not?" he asked in a cold voice. I sighed.' Did I not just tell him?' I shook my head and continued.
"Because Heero, if you love someone they are all you think about, and you cant help but to smile around them. I've never once seen you smile around Relena. Hell, I've even seen you smile around me before, but never her." I said watching him think about my answer.
He was silent seemingly contemplating saying something or not. After some inner debate he spoke in a quiet voice. "The way you talk about love...you seem to know from experience."
I was surprised by the softness of his voice, I have never heard Heero talk in that tone of voice, let alone say something like that.
"Are you in love Duo?" he asked me quietly, as if afraid of my answer. I stared at him, surprised at the way he was acting, I then smiled and lay on my back, staring at he ceiling.
"Yea" I said simply.
"...It's Hilde right?" he asked almost sadly.
I burst out laughing, and promptly fell on the floor. "What the hell are you laughing at?" asked Heero, obviously not finding the situation funny.
I looked at him with a big grin on my face.
"I am not in love with Hilde, I never have been, and I never will."
Heero looked down at me in surprise. "But the day Relena came, I saw you outside holding her." Said Heero as I got off the ground and sat on the bed.
I smiled at him. "She was crying that day, and it was the only thing I could do to comfort her."
"Crying?" he asked.
"Yea, cuz she is in love with Relena, and she was sad because she came here to ask you to marry her." I said happily.
"So you don't love her?"
"As a friend yes, but as a lover no."
"Well then who do you love?" he asked me, kinda annoyed with the whole situation.
I smiled.
"I can't tell you," I said smiling at the look on Heeros face. "But I can tell you what this person I like."
"hn" heero said as he sat down in the desk chair. I smiled and lay down, so I couldn't see heero.
"The one I love has the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen, I would willingly drown in their beauty. This person has a gorgeous lean, but muscular body that I'd do anything to touch. With messy brown hair, I'd say this person is the most beautiful thing in the world."
I paused for a second then continued.
"This persons love can never be mine though." I said sadly.
"Why?" asked Heero seemingly interested in what I was saying. I smiled sadly.
"Because of a promise, and this person does not break promises." I smiled as I studied the ceiling. "I love this person with all my heart and soul, I would give my life in a heartbeat. Even though I can never have this persons love, I am happy as long as they are happy."
I looked over at Heero who was just staring at him. I sighed and decided that since I hadn't had anything to eat today, I'd go get something now.
"I'm gonna go get something to eat, OK Heero? I'll be back." I said as I opened the door and left without another word.
I started to walk down that hall only to trip over something, or rather someone.
"Hey Q-man, what are you doing?" he looked at me shyly and stood up offering a hand to help me up. "I was gonna tell you that lunch was ready, but you and Heero were talking, so I thought that I would wait until you were finished to interrupt you." Said Quatre with a small blush on his face.
I smiled at him. "It's OK, I'm gonna get something to eat now, you wanna come?"
"I'll be right down" he said smiling slightly.
"All right see ya later." I said as I continued down the hall.
~*Heero POV*~
"Duo doesn't love Hilde." I mumbled to myself, a small smile playing on my lips.
"But he loves somebody else and it couldn't be me." I said sadly as I sat on the bed thinking about what Duo had said, making up my mind.
"I should still go through with the wedding, even if I don't want to."
"How can you be so blind Heero?" I heard a soft voice say, I didn't even have to look to know it was Quatre.
"What are you talking about?" I asked with my back still turned to him.
"I know now why you chose to marry Relena...it was because you thought Duo didn't love you like you loved him." He said softly. I snorted.
"He may not love Hilde, but he doesn't love me." I replied coldly.
I heard Quatre sigh.
"Heero, weren't you listening to Duo when he described the one he loved?" asked Quatre as I walked over to the window seal and sat down.
"hn."
"Damn it Heero! Cant you see!?" yelled Quatre. My eyes widened slightly as I looked at Quatre. It was unlike Quatre to raise his voice, let alone swear.
"Duo loves you! He was describing how he felt about you! Why can't you see that?" he said lowering his voice.
"Me?" I replied quietly. 'Have I really been that blind not to notice it?'
"Yes, you. Why do you think he wouldn't tell you the persons name?"
I looked down at the ground, letting his words sink in. "...duo" I said quietly, barely above a whisper.
'Agreeing to marry Relena was a big mistake but I couldn't break my promise to her, could I?'
"Get some rest Heero, the wedding is tomorrow." Quatre said as he left the room. I ignored his statement and looked out into the night sky.
'What am I gonna do? Duo loves me, and I love him but...Relena.' I frowned remembering Duos words.
~ "Because of a promise, and this person does not break promises."~
'I made a promise, and I cant break it' I thought sadly as I jumped out the window.
I had no intention of confronting Duo tonight.
~*Duos POV*~
"Where the hell is heero!" I yelled in frustration. "The ceremony is about to start!"
"Don't worry Duo, he'll be here" Quatre said as he looked at his watch. I sighed.
"Yea, but we don't even know where he is, he didn't sleep in our room last night, and he didn't even come back in the morning." I said tiredly.
Quatre put his arm on my shoulder. "Why didn't you just tell him how you felt?" he asks softly.
"I just want him to be happy..." I said as I looked at the ground.
"You know he's not going to be happy with Relena." Said Quatre in a matter of facility voice. I sighed.
"I know, but its his choice..." Quatre smiled sadly at me and squeezed my shoulder slightly. I smiled at him, trying to look cheerful.
'Where are you Heero?'
~*Relenas POV*~
"Relena, we are about to start."
"OK, thank you Hilde, I'll be there in a minute." I said happily, giving Hilde a smile. She smiled back, but her eyes looked so sad. 'I wonder why?'
"You look beautiful in that dress Relena, just like a princess." She said softly. I smiled a small blush on my cheeks. I turned to look at her.
"Thank you Hilde, you look wonderful too." I said, looking into her beautiful eyes.
She smiled slightly, then her face got serious. "Relena...I was wondering why you were marrying Heero."
I smiled sadly.
"Because I need someone who can love and protect me." I said turning back to the mirror.
"Do you love him?" she asked me, a pleading look in her eyes.
I looked back at her for a second then looked at the ground. " I used to think I did, I used to think he was my prince, who was made just for me."
"You don't now?" she asked as she looked at the ground.
"No, now I'm marring him for the line of duty, he is someone who can love and protect me, someone who is capable of ruling the Sanq Kingdom." I turned away from Hilde, who stood silently listening to me.
"...also because I'm a coward, who buries her real feelings deep down inside her." I said quietly waiting for Hilde's response.
"You said you need someone who could love and protect you. Well Heero can protect you... but he cant love you." I looked at her, taking in what she said. She sighed and continued.
"He is in love with Duo, you must know that." She said tiredly.
I nodded. "I guess deep down, I've always known that, I was just to blind to see it." I said sadly as she turned to leave.
She walked toward the door and stopped when her hand touched the doorknob.
"You know Relena... I could protect you, and I could love you." She said in barely a whisper as she opened the door and left.
I stared blankly at the door, before I turned around and sadly looked into the mirror.
"...I love you too Hilde...but I must marry Heero." I said quietly to my reflection.
