Well it's time for the holidays. So Seasons Greetings. Ok Here is Chapter 6 hope you guys enjoy.
Confrontations and ResolutionsAmy tightened her grip on Heero's waist as he increased the speed of Harley. In truth, she had missed this over the passed couple of weeks, the closeness they shared doing the simplest of things. Riding his bike with him reminded her of how intimate the simple things they did together were for her. Amy closed her eyes and rested her head on his back and inhaled Heero's familiar scent as it mingled with the rain. Amy sighed and pressed herself harder into his back as her grip tightened once more. 'I have to get him back and if I do I'll never let him go again.' She thought as they continued the ride to 'their' home.
Heero's thoughts laid along the same lines that Amy's were at the moment. He had missed her while she was gone and he regretted every moment they had spent apart. He regretted even more the fact that he had been ready to give up on her ever even given him a chance to explain everything to her. Heero relaxed himself more as he felt Amy tightened her grip around him. He had thought that she was still a little unsure of touching him. He had noticed how she had hesitated when she saw him get on to his bike, but her hesitation had lasted only a moment. He knew that when they arrived at their apartment everything would be left up to her and how she took everything he told her. He allowed himself a small smirk when he felt her lay her head on his back. The smirk remained on Heero's face as he turned in to the buildings parking lot.
They both sat on the bike for several minutes after they had arrived; each waiting for the other to take the lead toward the inevitable conversation that they knew was going to take place. Heero was the first to move off the bike and her turn toward Amy and took in her appearance. Her blue hair lay matted to head from the rain and her eyes remained downcast as if she was contemplating why she had returned here in the first place. Heero also noticed that her body shivered slightly against a sudden breeze that swept through the parking lot, seeing as her clothes were drenched from the rain.
"Come on we need to get you out of your wet clothes, Amy." He said and offered her his hand.
Amy nodded and took the offered hand. As they began to make their way to the apartment, Amy's eyes remained on the ground in front of her. Amy glanced out the side of her eye to see if Heero noticed how she was acting. His eyes remained forward as the made their way toward their home. Amy sighed to herself once again resigning herself to thinking of a way to get him to return to her. She paused as they reached the door each of them sharing the same thought.
'I hope we can work this out.'
Heero opened the door and Amy immediately noticed that little had change in the apartment since she had left. She found herself slowly walking through the living room and touching everything she found. Amy realized that she had not been gone an extensive amount of time but a sense of displacement filled her mind. She hadn't expected him to keep everything she had left there either. It was a strange feeling that she could place. Had he expected her to return?
"Why didn't you get rid of the stuff I left behind?" she asked in a tiny voice.
"I didn't want to. Here take these."
Amy looked up from her place in the living room to see that Heero had went and found her some dry clothes. Amy gladly took them and glanced at Heero and asked where she could change.
" Amy this is still your home you can change where ever you choose I'll be waiting here when you get back." He stated and sat down on the couch.
Amy nodded and made her way toward the bedroom they shared leaving Heero to his thoughts.
~~~~~ Bedroom ~~~~~
The first thing she noticed upon entering the room was that two things were out of place. Heero's gun lay on the bedside table and the letter she had written was still on the desk. Amy moved slowly toward the bed and placed her change of clothes next to her. Her blue eyes lay fixed on the gun she had seen only once in the past. She knew that the gun was something he had hidden away at her request, but seeing it there in front of her was as shocking as the first time she had seen it. She had first seen it when they had returned from a date they had been on. Amy remembered Heero sitting in the kitchen and they had begun talking and she had convinced him to tell her more about his past. Needless to say that was a hard subject for him to speak about, and that was when he first showed her the gun. As he told her about his past she noticed that he had begun to take the gun apart and rebuilding it as he spoke. Amy shivered when she remembered the look in his eyes as he told her and how he never once looked at the gun in his hands when he spoke. That same evening he told her that the gun was in a way a representative of his past and how he had over come it.
Amy picked up the gun and held it up to her eyes. She knew it wasn't loaded it had not been for sometime. She stared at it a moment longer before returning it to the table where it had sat. She then looked at the clothes Heero had given her, the sight made her smile. A green tank top and black spandex shorts. She smiled grew a little when he remembered that those were the only set of clothes she ever got him to let her borrow. They had quickly become her favorite set of house clothing. She quickly changed into them and looked around the room once more before she set on about the conversation that was about to take place. Her eyes fell upon the letter she had written. The smile she once wore faded from her face as she picked up the letter and read it. Everything she had said in it was true she did want him to be happy even if I was without her, but she had gone out of her way to keep from be hurt and she had hurt him in the process. Amy looked at the letter that she held in her left hand and her eyes caught the glint that the engagement ring gave in the room's light. Her eyes took a determined look as she left the bedroom.
~~~~~ Living Room ~~~~~
Heero sat in silence when Amy had left. He racked his mind trying to think of someway to fix the problem that was keeping him and Amy apart. Yes, they had come back here to talk but what was he going to say. His only proof about his action over the past few of weeks was gone, probably dropped in the park this afternoon. And he knew that he had to add on the fact that she had every right to be angry with him. But he wanted to know why she thought that he was using her as a replacement. A lot was going to happen tonight between them and Heero hoped that the out come would have them both being together at the least friends. He sighed and leaned back on the couch waiting for Amy's return. He didn't have to wait long.
She announced her entrance by taking the seat in front of him and staring in to his Prussian eyes. Heero looked right into her eyes and they each prepared to begin.
"Amy" "Heero"
They each stopped waiting for the other to continue. Amy began again this time sliding the letter on to the table between them. Heero looked at the letter and at her.
" I know you read the letter Heero. I want you to know I meant every word of it too. I want you to be happy even it's not with me. But I want to understand why were you seeing this that other girl behind my back? Why wasn't I enough? Why did you hurt me the way you did?"
Amy started the only way she could knowing that there was no subtle way to go about this. It was better for each of them to lay it all out on the table and settle everything.
"Amy, you need to hear some things about my past to understand about that girl. Her name is Relena Dorlian and she was the first girl I ever dated. I met her a short while after they separated Trista and me. She was in a way a replacement for the companionship Trista had provided me. We dated for a while and she was very possessive of me especially when I met Amara and Michelle. It didn't help much that Relena hated them either. Relena had it in her head that we belong together and nothing could change that. When I started to hang out more with them than her she flipped and started making up rumors that she was pregnant and that it was mine. I won't lie to you I did sleep with her but I was always careful. After the rumors reached me I stopped seeing her but the problem was she never got the fact that it was over between us. Eventually I just gave up trying to stop her from following me around but she seems to always find me."
Heero paused for a moment to see how Amy was reacting to what he had said. Her gave nothing away as her gaze stay locked on his face.
"Amy you were always go enough for me, in a lot of ways you're to good for me. But I never meant to hurt you. I still love you."
Amy gazed wavered slightly after Heero had said this. 'He still loves me.' She closed her eyes and sighed and prepared to speak when Heero spoke.
"Amy, I have one question. Why did you say that you were not a replacement?"
That was the one question she had wanted to avoid answering. Of all the things they spoke about their respective pasts Amy had left out her time with Greg. It was a time that she would rather have never experienced again. Amy stood up and turned her back to Heero and began to tell him about her relationship with Greg.
" Heero I have been in one relationship before ours. It was back in Junior high school, I met a boy name Greg. He was the first guy that I had taken any interest in back then. I was your ordinary bookworm back then. Well we dated a lot and he was responsible for a lot of my mannerism today, but one day I found him with another girl and he started to see her behind my back. I did everything I could to keep him with me and after a while he stopped seeing her at all. Things were back to the way I liked them. That was until he cheated on me for the second time. The difference was that he told me about it and told me I was his 'Replacement' because I would stay no matter what he did.
" He was wrong though the last time he cheated on me was when I had enough. I left that night after he had gone out. I returned home and got a bottle of Jack Daniels and aspirin. This was my first major relationship and it blew up in my goddamn face. I spent that night think about everything that could have been wrong with me. I had almost finished half of the bottle of Jack Daniels when the girls showed up. That's why they so protective of me. What you did was a lot like the things he did to me Heero and I wasn't going to have that happen again."
Amy finished with her back still facing Heero. If she had turned around she would have noticed the blazing angry that his eyes now held. His eyes softened when she began to turn around.
"Amy I was trying to get you something for the past couple of week to show you how important you are to me. But,"
Amy cut him off as this point knowing that what he said next would decide everything.
"Where do we go from here, Heero? Are you like Greg and using me as a replacement or do you love me the way you did before?"
"I'm nothing like Greg. I care more about you than that and you know it." Heero all but growled in response to her question.
Amy moved toward him and took his hand and closed the ring inside his right palm.
"Then I can't except this."
Heero was shocked when he felt the ring being placed into his hand and at what she had just told him. What was even more shocking was the smile on her face.
"At least not until you do propose correctly."
Heero smirked and got down on one bended knee.
~~~~~~ Serena's Apartment ~~~~~~
Amara had arrived shortly after she left Amy and Heero on the school roof. She noticed that Trista and Michelle still had not left Serena's apartment and that the other girls and their boyfriends were there as well. And from the looks on some of the girls faces that the girls were not pleased with what had happened this afternoon. Amara immediately found Hotaru and went to comfort her little girl.
"Hey Hotaru, Heero said you can show him off at your school next that way you'll have the best looking guy there." Amara finished with a smile trying to brighten her daughter's mood.
"Thanks Papa." Hotaru returned with a small smile.
" Why was he there at all is what I want to know?" Mina asked looking to the boys for some kind of answer.
Rei on the other hand looked squarely at Trista and Serena. She remembered that out of all of them Serena had not been surprised by Heero's sudden appearance at the party.
"I think we should be asking Serena and Trista."
All eyes turned to the two women who were quietly sitting on the couch drinking tea.
" Let it go Pyro its their business, not ours." Serena stated not looking up form her tea.
"LIKE HELL IT ISN'T SERENA! THAT BASTARD DID THE EXACT SAME THING GREG DID TO HER! THEN HE SHOWS UP TODAY AND ACTS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED! AND YOU SAY LEAVE THEM ALONE! THAT'S BULLSHIT!!" Rei screamed at her friend.
She didn't understand why Trista, Serena, Amara, and Michelle treated this like it wasn't a big deal. 'Don't they even care?'
"Don't you even care?" Rei said in a small voice.
Serena left her spot on the couch and stood in front of Rei as everyone looked at them with rapt attention.
"Rei we all care about what has happened to Amy but I looked at the situation from Heero's side too and I helped with idea to get them to meet at the party today. Rei you have to understand Amy has done all of this because of a misunderstanding and more over her fear that Heero was just like Greg at the end of all of this mess."
"Serena what misunderstanding? We all saw him kiss that girl even your boyfriend was there." Rei said looking at the blonde in front of her.
Serena started to answer when the sound of an engine met her ears. She smiled and looked at her friends.
"Rei just listen to what they have to say, ok?"
Rei looked questioningly at Serena and slowly nodded her head. The doorbell sounded and Trista stood to answer the door. She stepped aside and allowed Amy to step through and hugged her brother when he followed soon after. Heero and Amy took a quick glance around the room and felt the tension that their sudden appearance had brought. Mina and Makoto were the first to make any comment.
"Uh Amy what are you wearing?"
Amy looked down at her clothes and smirked.
"My favorite house clothes." She answered simply.
The guys asked the next question and directed it toward Heero.
"Why is she wearing your clothes, Heero?"
Heero shrugged and sat down next to Hotaru and gave his daughter a quick hug. Amy followed closely and took a seat on the other side of the girl. Michelle smiled at the two and Amara smirked slightly at the sight. The other in the room stayed quiet as they tried to understand the smirks that the older women had on the faces. Rei was the first to break the silence.
"Amy what is going on? You left the party in tears this afternoon and now you show up here wearing 'his' clothes and acting like toady never happened."
Amy looked up form Hotaru and glanced at her friends. A small smirk played on her face as she raised her left hand and placed it on the side of her face.
"You guys the last couple of weeks have been a very trying time for Heero and I, but we have worked out our problems and that is all there is to say."
The girls and four out of the five guys looked stunned at the ring that was on Amy's finger.
" Oh yeah, I remember that ring." Duo blurted out when he saw it again.
"YOU'VE SEEN THAT RING BEFORE!!!" Wufei yelled glaring at the braided man.
" Yeah I was there when he bought it. That was the…. Same…. Night…oh shit." Duo's eyes grew to the size of saucers when he realized what he had just said.
"Let me get this straight Duo dear.." Serena began.
"You knew about the ring all this time.." Amy said.
" AND YOU DIDN'T SAY ANY THING!!!!" Michelle finished with a scream.
" Um yeah." Duo finished sheepishly looking for a way to get the attention off him.
" LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT ROCK!!" Mina yelled as she got a better look at the ring on Amy's finger.
All the girls converged on the ring at that point asking questions about when the wedding was and who got to be what in the ceremony. Heero was in a similar position but the other guys' thoughts lay along the lines of why Heero had to buy a ring like that and where they would hide Duo's body.
"Okay you guys listen up. We decided that we would have the wedding this summer after we finished school. Rei we would also like to be able to have the wedding and reception at your temple, if that's possible." Amy finished looking at the raven-haired miko.
"Sure Amy but I get to be maid of honor." Rei stated which caused the other girls to go postal about why she got to do that and they didn't. Trista and the other were happy just to see them all happy again.
"You can all be maid of honor. But Hotaru gets to be flower girl, okay." Amy stated over the argument her friends were having.
They all nodded and turned toward the sound of someone clearing their throat. All their eyes fell on Trista who had Heero standing next to her.
"I think before you guys get any further involved you should at least introduce yourself to the groom." Trista said with a smirk.
Heero muttered 'Thanks a lot PUU' loud enough for her to hear and dodged the smack he knew was aimed for his head. The girls all began to introduce themselves and immediately took a liking to Heero. The final girl to introduce herself was Rei and she warned Heero against hurt Amy again, but she also congratulated him as well.
~~~~~ 1 hour later ~~~~~
Everyone had begun to leave each throwing out their good byes and congratulation to the couple. The apartment was empty save for Heero, Amy, Serena, Trista, Amara, Michelle, and Hotaru. They spoke awhile longer before they began to leave.
Trista, Heero, and Michelle all left to the kitchen to discuss a subject that they had planned long before Heero had met Amy.
"Will she do it?" Michelle asked.
"Amy will do it I told her all about it she all for it." Heero answered.
"The question is can you get Amara to do what we need her to do?" Trista asked.
"Not a problem." Michelle replied.
" Then we're set."
"Yes."
"I'll bring my camera."
All smirked and returned to the living room to get their partners and return home.
There's chapter 6. I hope you guys like it I'll try to get the final Chapter up soon. Thanks for all the reviews.
