Well, chapter 2 is here. I am infinitely sorry that it took so long. One thing just kinda piles on top of the other and inspiration and art is thrown aside in order to cope with homework and school. Life sucks until one can get back to their computer. Anyway sorry for the wait and the short chapter
As with chapter 1 and all my other stories I don't own any of this. (But I do own the characters from my story on FictonPress. Here's the link if you're interested )

It felt like she was bouncing. Just a weird sensation like she was being carried up a flight of stairs. With her curiosity piqued she opened her eyes expecting to wake up in her office when she noticed a banister and the set of paintings that lined her stairwell. "What are these doing in my office?" she murmured.
"Relena, this is your house. I'm taking you up to your room," said an extremely familiar voice. Wait a second…
She turned her head just slightly to see Heero's face and just now realized she was being carried. "What on earth are you doing? I've got…" her voice trailed off as the events of the last hour came flooding back. "Oh."
He smiled and turned left then turned into the third doorway on right into her room. She couldn't help but curl closer to him. 'Whoa he is so ripped.'
'Whoa she is so soft.' He set her down on her bed then went to sit down next to her. "Feeling better at all?" Heero asked feeling her forehead that was just slightly warmer than usual.
When Relena nodded he got up to leave, "Go to sleep. I'm come wake you up in a while," he said.
Relena got up as well and walked over to her bodyguard, "Thank you Heero," she whispered before placing a chaste kiss on his cheek then closing the door.
Heero blinked, once, twice, and once more just to make sure that no, he had not died in the process of the day and that this was not Relena acting out of a horrible fever. Then he couldn't help but smile as he continued to walk down stairs. He would definitely have to do more sweet things for Relena in the future.
His eyes widened. Did he just think what he thought he just thought? After almost falling down the first step Heero decided to stop thinking until he was no longer moving. Aside from his previous actions, Duo would never let him be if he found Heero had fallen down a flight of stairs. Besides, how could he take care of Relena if he was in the hospital? Then again….

It had been about an hour, Heero thought looking at his watch. He got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen deciding some tea might be good for Relena. He was really going soft, but it was really the least he could do. Now to find a kettle…
His eyes widened again upon entering the Peacecraft kitchen. It was the size of most high school cafeterias. Seven stoves, four refrigerators, an entire wall for a cupboard, and only God knew where a kettle would be. This would definitely be one of his more difficult missions.
Ten minutes later Heero had finally found the kettle and extremely dismayed when he noticed its location…at the very bottom of a very large stack of pots and pans. He huffed and then blowing caution to the wind pulled the kettle out. Which of course caused the stack of pots to come crashing down around in him in an avalanche of copper, tin, and stainless steel.
"Damn it Relena, why did you have to leave the damn kettle underneath all the other damn pots…" he mumbled as he began to pick up the pans and shove them into the cabinet in which they had been stacked.
"I didn't leave that there. The one I usually use is left out on the stove," said Relena from the doorway.
Heero followed her finger to the seventh stove to see a purple tea kettle with blue and pink moons and stars on it. He nearly growled before throwing the other kettle back into the cabinet. Wait a second… "Relena, shouldn't you still be in bed? I told you I'd wake you up. You need to get your rest and it's barely been an hour…"
Relena laughed and sat down. "My brother just called saying he heard about what happened with the 218 at work and was coming right here to make sure I was okay."
He was scowling. He could feel his face go from mildly confused and concerned, to extremely unhappy. "Did you mention I was already doing that?" he asked with a hint of bad temper.
She giggled again. "I think that's why he's rushing."
She watched as he put water into the kettle with a lot more 'umph' than a normal, happy person would have, trying not laugh again. He was so…so…adorable was the only word that came to mind. He seemed so out of character, so unnaturally sweet that it felt very natural. Relena decided, right then and there, that Heero Yuy could be a real sap when he wanted to. And it was so cute!
She wondered what could possibly be going through his mind,
what could have possibly made this change, but her mind did not linger long.
Instead she began to watch him shuffle through the cabinets. "Where do you
keep…"
"In that one," she replied smilingly, pointing to the second to the left. "It's behind the sugar."
Heero picked passed the other contents of the cabinet and pulled out the box of tea bags. The hot water began to whistle and he turned off the stove, poured the water and placed a tea bag in mug. Relena simply studied his movements. He was beautiful. He was perfect. Silently Heero handed her the mug and sat down on the chair next to her. For the next several minutes neither said anything, Relena just sipped her tea while Heero watched the stove.
The stove was indeed very interesting. It was…it was just fascinating. Yeah. It was better than staring at Relena. He just didn't want to worry about what he might do if he concentrated on those luscious lips for too long or looked to deeply into her eyes. No…he'd been silent for far too long, he had to say something. Anything. Smoothly, or at least he hoped it would be smooth, Heero placed his hand atop hers. "Relena."
*Ding Dong*
"Damn it!"
"Heero!"
"Yuy!"
