Heero passed by the hallways without notice. He walked into his classroom. Suddenly he froze. Relena Dorlin was in his seat of the art class, now he had another reason why he should have taken math class for his first period of the day.

"You're in my seat." The class was filled of colorful pictures and the corners were filled of supplies and stools for when drawing something other than the usual. The desks were made of counters as if they were in biology class but in the draws, there were the supplies they would have to use. Suddenly the teacher cleared her thoart. "Heero, I've assigned Relena to be your partner. Seeing as everyone has one but you." There were large whispers in the room. Heero clenched his fists. Heero Yuy wouldn't know what to do with the new girl. He's just a playboy. No, he's gay. No way, I heard he slept with that Dorothy chick many times!

"Heero?" Relena's voice rang in his ears. Driving away the voices of the other students that accused him. He looked at her.

Her eyes soft and filled of concern. Her face and body facing him. But Heero's eyes were not on her body but they were in her orbs of sea blue. He was about to drown in them until she looked away.

Relena glared at the other students who was staring at Heero in disgust. When they saw her, they turned their heads to draw. Heero sat down b her a few minutes later.

"Today, class, we'll be drawing real life people. And now that we all have someone to work with, one of you will draw the other.

Heero looked at Relena. After a few mere seconds her eyes met his, "I can draw you if you want." He could only nod. Relena told him that she'd meet him at the corner of the room. Each student had taken corners of the room where they drew their partners.

Heero sat very still, his body mass and his face each looking at Relena. She was still concentrating on the drawing. He wondered how she would draw him, would it end up good or bad? Suddenly Relena glanced up to him and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not going to mess you up, besides I'm almost finish."

And it was true cause in a few more minutes that had passed, Relena had finished drawing him.

"You can move now." Relena told Heero. He blinked. So fast? He slowly got off the stool and walked towards her.

*** Heero stared at the picture closely, it looked a lot like him. As he walked towards the door to the men's locker room of his ballet studio, Duo swung his arm over his shoulders.

Duo gasped. Heero sitting on a stool, with the same exact eyes, it looked a lot like him in his school uniform. Whomever drew it had even placed in a background drawing of a park. But the eyes were something to really look like, they looked exactly like Heero's only somewhat of small emotion.

"Who drew that?"

Heero glanced up from the drawing and studied his champion. "Relena."

Duo whistled. "Man, Relena gots some skills! I wonder if she did drawing classes in Japan?"

Heero shrug before he gently stuffed it in his gym bag. "Why not you go and ask her?" It was the last thing Heero said before he opened the door and stepped in.

However, Duo did not follow. He had already changed before Heero had arrived to the hall of the locker rooms. "Hey, Duo." A soft voice from the back made Duo turn around. Relena was dressed in her lethod.

"Hey, Lena."

Relena blinked and repeated the name. Duo chuckled. "It's my new nickname for you. Can I?" Relena smiled and nodded.

As they walked with Duo's arm over her shoulders, Duo and she talked. Duo was at her school but she didn't get to see him often since they didn't have any classes together but it didn't stop her from sitting with him and Hilde whenever she got the chance at lunch, study hall, and their small break time.

"So did you take any art lessons in Japan?" The ballet dancer with the thick braid asked.

Relena shook her head. "Than how did you draw Heero like that?"

"I learned it but never took lessons. I think a few mf my artworks are up somewhere in Setsuna's mom's art museum."

"Who's Setsuna? Boyfriend?"

"No. He's just a really good friend. He's been like a brother to me since my.." Shaking her head she quickly switched the subject before Duo could notice, "Besides he already has a girlfriend. And that's my other friend."

However Duo had noticed her pausing, but he didn't say anything about it. He would just have to crack it open whenever he got the chance. Suddenly Hilde joined them.

Heero flipped and turned over and over on his bed at late midnight. But all his eyes landed on when he turned once more was the drawing Relena had drawn of him. Sighing, all he was able to think about was the picture over dinner and doing homework.

Finally, his mind settled on why he had remembered Relena's e-mail address. He looked at his desk which was covered in shadows, his laptop screen was open. Sighing he picked himself off the bed and started his AIM.

Yuy300: Relena? Relenarose: who is this? Yuy300: it's me, heero. Relenarose: oh, heero. hi Yuy300: I want to ask u something Yuy300: where did u learn how to draw like that? Relenarose: I dunno, but I'll tell you one thing. I never took lessons.

However when she said that, he had stopped talking to her. It was late at night and he could just sense she was tired.
