Quatre yawned, and realized that he hadn't gotten any sleep for the past twenty-four hours. Relena was safely at the hospital, and the doctors had told him that she would live, after a couple of weeks under medical attention.
Quatre climbed the stairs, hand on the sleek banister, and his eyes caught the lounge that had unleashed Heero's dark thoughts in the first place. He slowly walked into the lounge, wondering if the black orb was still there. Indeed it was, lying there in the same packaged box Relena had sent it in. So this is it, the thing that unleashed the living hell in Heero...Quatre thought. He glanced into the box and found that the sphere was addictingly entrancing. He stared, and dreary thoughts played before his eyes, like a film, one slide after another slid in front of his eyes. His father dying, Heero shooting him, Trowa closing himself off from the world... Disconsolate thoughts that Quatre would never had dreamed of unleashing.
Realizing what the orb was doing to him, he furiously shook his head, flipped out two guns and started firing at the orb nonstop, until it cracked and fell. Dark mist rose from the remaints and evaporated with an eery hollow sound. Several bullet holes were made in the wood of the coffee table, and the sphere was ruduced to dust when Quatre stopped shooting.
"Damis*!" Quatre called, signaling for his Arabic butler.
"Yes sir?" Damis appeared at the doorway and glanced at the pile of dust on the coffee table.
"Please get rid of this mess, and the table," Quatre inquired, and left the room, placing his guns back into their holsters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo and Wufei were in the kitchen, undoubtedly trying to find something to eat, when they heard guns erupting like fireworks. Wufei gave Duo a questioning look and they abandoned their food, finding the source of the shooting.
Nearly three feet from the lounge, they saw Quatre exit the lounge and Duo raised his eyebrows as Quatre smiled brightly and found his way to his room. Duo looked into the lounge to see Damis, the butler, sweeping up a pile of dust, what looked suspiciously like the remaints of the orb Heero had told them about before he left to see Relena. "Looks like even Quatre gets mood swings," Duo observed and turned to face Wufei, who was already starting down the stairs back to the kitchen.
Trowa had been hiding in the shadows the whole time, silently watching Quatre demolish the dark sphere. With a small smile he walked down the hall to his room, his half-clown mask in hand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heero hated hospitals. Spending much of his life in them, he despised them, hating the suffocating aroma and the pitying plastic food. But then again, the many blood red roses, stuffed bears, and cards Heero was carrying made up for the despicable hospital.
Finding Relena Peacecraft's room, he walked in and placed each rose, bear and card on the bedside table. He gazed at Relena's sleeping face and walked over to her, brushing her hair away from her face. She stirred and her hand found Heero's, and she clasped hers around his. Her eyes fluttered and she quietly whispered, "Heero..."
He put his finger to her lips and said, "Shhh, you're hurt, and you've got to rest."
Relena shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, "I... I still love you Heero...."
Heero smiled truly for the first time in a long time and said quietly, "I'm sorry Relena, I'm sorry for hurting you, both on the inside and outside... That's why I want you to have this." Heero pulled away from Relena for a minute to retrieve a stuffed teddy bear from the nightstand. "Here... Take it. It's your birthday tomorrow, and I wanted to give it to you early."
The stuffed bear's face was furry and soft, and Relena hugged it to her chest and softly smiled to Heero. "It's as beautiful as the other one you gave me..."
Heero nodded his head and bent down, placing one hand on Relena's cheek and gazing deeply into her eyes, his lips brushed hers, holding them there, and all black thoughts melted away as golden morning light flooded into the hospital, smothering all deep, dark shadows. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Damis in Arabic means "dark." A/N: Again, corny wasn't what I was going for, but I didn't have much time to write the ending. But that's okay. Please R&R. Thanx for reading!! ^.^
