Chapter 22: Proposal?
Heero had been practising all day for his big night. He was yet again in the horrible place of anxiety and nervousness, that only Relena's safety at risk could muster. But tonight was different. Relena was for once in a long time far from danger. She could be naive at times, but she was no air head. She was a smart beautiful girl, one that he had only dreamt about having in his arms. But now he had her. She was the real thing.
Although he had been together with her for a while, it was nothing compared to what there was now. They were at ease for once, neither even toying with the idea of running away anymore. They were safe from the people they hated, and the people they loved. Ever since Relena's tragic event had occurred, everyone at the palace seemed to leave her be. She was not to be bothered anymore or even questioned about her role in society anymore, thanks to Heero and Zech's threatening towards eager press members, and Heero's stand against Zechs.
Her life was intact, and she was becoming the person he had come to realise she could be. Her potential as a surfer was great, he had seen that in Hawaii. She was a very talented young woman. And after some scavenging around local areas in Hawaii, he had come across a handful of videos of competitions Relena had competed in. Zechs had already agreed never to attempt to rule over her life anymore, he of course felt guilty for what he had done to his little sister and ashamed. But when he had watched the tapes in awe, he only could see how happy she had looked every time she had won, holding a metal or a trophy up in victory with a smile plastered to her face.
Heero was very pleased of course, by the way he had made Milliardo see what his sister was passionate about. And the way he had ruled out any thoughts in Milliardo's thick skull about taking over her life.
Yanking the brush through his untamed hair, he attempted to make it look neat and tidy. He wasn't quite sure why he needed to look sophisticated, but he would do anything for Relena.
He yanked his dark red tie closer to his neck, but after having made a sharp tug, he realised it wasn't the most intelligent of ideas that had crossed his mind. He attempted to loosen it, as he watched in his mirror in horror as his face turned a light shade of purple.
His mind screamed to rip the blasted thing off, but he figured if he were to do so he'd wreck it, and then he wouldn't look as picture perfect as he had hoped.
But as luck would have it, it wouldn't budge, and he was still struggling with it. His oxygen supply was running low and his head felt lightweight and a spell of dizziness overcame him.
Finally deciding it would be better to be alive tonight when he was about to propose, rather then suffocate and never fulfilling his goal. So he ripped at the tie until he felt the material start to break. With one sharp movement the tie was off of his neck and in a tumble of fabric on the floor.
"Oh well, it made me look too uptight anyway" he sighed in frustration as he kicked the tie across the room.
He then went back to smoothing out any existing wrinkles on his black pin stripped suit, and made sure his white dress shirt was neat. He then fixed the collar of his suit jacket, and looked himself in the mirror. He looked uptight still, so he undid the first two buttons on his white dress shirt, showing a small amount of chest. And then decided to leave the jacket open and not in the crisp looking way he had seen the manikin in the store look.
He stared himself in the mirror and frowned. His hair, when combed, made him look old and nerdy. He felt uncomfortable with the falseness of what he was pretending to be, so within seconds he had his hands running through his chocolate locks and put his hair back into his usual messy, unkempt look. But he had heard (A.N most likely from his horrendously large group of fan girls teehe!) that the look was in style and it made the guys look sexy and rugged.
Did he look any of those things? (A.N I bet everyone's rolling their eyes and shouting You are HOT HOT HOT! by now right? Duh he's so sexy!!!) He wondered if Relena minded him looking so unkempt in the public eye. But what the hell, it was his life right? If she truly loved him, she wouldn't let a thing like the way he kept his hair get in the way.
Finally satisfied with the way he looked, he stepped out of his room and headed to the entrance hall of the mansion, where he had told Relena to meet him.
It was the first time she was actually allowed out of bed since the incident, and from what people had told him, she was trying to figure out how to walk again all day. He felt bad for holding her in her room for so long, but all he had in mind was her health, and how much he wanted her to recover fully.
Heero waited for what seemed like hours for the arrival of Relena. He kept re-thinking everything that was supposed to happen that evening. He went over his speech to Relena, and made sure he had the ring in his pocket.
Tonight was special. He had gone through a lot of trouble to make sure it would turn out perfectly. He had set up the whole evening as a surprise to her. All that she thought that was happening, was that she was going to go out to dinner with him at a fancy restaurant and celebrate her recovery.
He grew impatient and began tapping his foot and staring at his watch. She still hadn't come down the stairs and into the entrance hall. He then began pacing back and forth, willing her to come with his mind. He was growing nervous as the minutes flew by, but he stood firm after telling himself he could wait forever until she came to him, as long as they were together forever.
Suddenly a glimmer of pale fabric could be seen coming down the stairs. And when he saw her, he gasped in awe at her beauty.
Relena's POV
Relena was quite oblivious to Heero's intentions for that evening. In fact she had bought every word that he had told her about her recovery celebration.
She had chosen a pretty pale white, almost pink sleeveless dress, which came down to just above the knees, but after that point, it went into an angle and ended like a triangle just above the ankle. But the fabric on the way down, had another thinner material underneath stitched to it making it appear in a ruffled wave, it reminded her of a Spanish themed dress. She accompanied the dress with a metal chained choker with a large pink heart attached to it, matching dangle earrings, and the same colour as the dress, high heeled, sandal style shoes with ties going up and around the ankles, stopping halfway between the ankle and the knee.
Her hair was curled and then put up into a messy bun, making the curls fly everywhere, but did not actually look messy at all, but neat and tidy. She left a strand of curly hair on either side of her face untouched, lose and dangly.
She put on a small amount of eye makeup, and then looked at herself in the mirror. Smiling at herself, she grabbed her small matching purse and rushed out her door. She knew she was late, but she also knew Heero would wait for her.
She was glad that, although it was a fancy restaurant, she still had the ability to look sophisticated, but at the same time look like she was going out to party. She had had no intentions of wearing a fancy gown that went down to her feet and gave her no shape to her body at all. She probably would have had the urge, to half way through the night, throw it off and prance around in her underwear and bra.
She was glad that she could finally get out though. Some people * cough * , had forced her to stay in bed for far too long. It felt great to stretch her unused legs and walk around.
And she was surprised that Zechs still hadn't mentioned her future, but she found it to be a bonus and shrugged it off.
When she reached the stairs she took her time walking down them, still conscious of her wounds, although they had healed, she still wasn't ready to run a marathon just yet. Although she was forming ideas for training sessions to get prepared for surfing again. She only needed to get to a beach........ But she was sure that Heero would keep his word and someday move her to a beach somewhere.
At the bottom of the stairs she saw Heero's reaction to her dress and only giggled. But instantly stopped when she saw how he was dressed. He was by far the sexiest man she had ever seen, even with the six packs that had floated around her in Hawaii.
She walked up to Heero and gently ran a finger over his exposed chest.
Heero grabbed her hands and placed a hungry kiss on her lips. She looked up at him questioningly and he leaned down to her ear and softly whispered
"Not here."
His warm breath sent shivers up her spine and she could only nod. He placed a hand on the small of her back, and lead her out to an awaiting limo.
Pagan opened the door for them, and Relena went through first, followed closely behind Heero.
As soon as the door was closed, and Pagan got into the front seat, he started the limo and drove off. (The partition was closed), Heero leaned in on her and began kissing her exposed neck and collarbone.
"You look beautiful Relena" he said between kisses.
"Thank you Heero, You look very handsome yourself" She moaned out, feeling pleasure fill her with his small gestures.
She could already tell that tonight was going to be a very special night.
Heero's POV
Heero had began kissing her neck and collarbone out of pure lust, he couldn't help himself. Her flesh was exposed and he felt the need to give it much needed attention.
But of course, he had to stop when the car, unfortunately stopped at the restaurant. Their destination had been reached, and they needed to get out. So he removed his lips from her warm soft skin, and instead offered his hand to Relena when Pagan opened the limo door.
He led her into the restaurant known as Le Cheri (A.N I know I know, not the best name in the world 'The Girl' is kind of a strange name but when you say it in French, without knowing what it means, it's all good) Of course it was very crowded.
But Heero making it as perfect as possible, had already made reservations for a few tables, so that he and Relena could have a little privacy. No one would be sitting near them, and that was just fine with him.
A waiter showed them to their private corner, and when they reached it, he heard to his amusement, Relena gasp.
He had made sure there was a fresh bouquet of red and white roses on the table, candles lit everywhere around them, a bottle of red and white whine on a cart near the table, and what Heero guessed was her favourite part, stuffed bears ranging in different sizes all around the table. A soft white bear with a black noes and eyes, and a pink ribbon tied around its neck, was sitting on her chair. She immediately picked it up and cuddled it. Heero then pulled out her chair and as she sat, tucked it under the table. He then went to his side of the table and sat down.
The waiter handed them each a menu, and then left saying he'd be back in a while to get their order, left.
The night was so far running perfectly.
Relena looked at him shocked.
"You planned this didn't you?" she said suspiciously
"Maybe" was his only reply "Wine?"
"Sure"
He poured a glass of red for each of them, and then placed one of the glasses in front of her. She took it and curiously swished it around in her glass, and smelt it, before taking a small sip. She looked so adorable.
"So what are you going to order?" He asked
"Hmmm. Well there are so many choices" she said while picking up the menu "Escargot. I don't really feel like eating snails. But there's seafood here as well. I think that I'll try the Caesar salad with salmon. How about you?"
"How bout I eat you?" He leaned in and quickly stole a kiss from her lips.
She giggled, her voice tinkling like little bells in his ears.
"Now seriously, what are you going to eat?" "I'll eat the same thing as you" He seriously didn't care what he ate, he was too interested by what Relena was doing. Cuddling random teddy bears, sniffing the roses, swishing her drink and then taking small sips from it. The simple things in life just made him love her more.
The waiter came, and they ordered. They had talked about everything under the sun until their food came. It was very good and they had taken their time eating it.
But of course, his nervousness grew as the evening was beginning to come to an end. They had ordered a large piece of chocolate, fudge cake, and were sharing it. They were currently joking about their friends and how stupid they could be at some points in time. Or at least they were basically centring their conversation over Duo. But it gave them a good laugh all the same.
Feeling it was finally time to play his role, he silenced Relena with a loving kiss, and then bent in front of her on one knee. He grabbed her hands and held them lightly.
"Heero. What's going on?" Relena asked
"Relena, I've loved you forever. You know that right?"
"Yes?" He could hint a small amount of fear in her voice. It worried him, but he brushed it aside.
"And I think we should start thinking about our future."
Relena's POV
The evening had gone by very quickly, and Relena was quite enjoying it. She was especially loving the cute little teddy bears everywhere around her.
When they had flirted together while sharing the chocolate cake, it had been enjoyable also. But then when Heero bent in front of her she began feeling a small hint of worry. Especially when he began talking about their future.
Was he breaking up with her? She had seen several movies that involved the girls hopes of marriage being crushed by a man who wanted to chase after some new hot pepper. Always claiming they'd love the girl forever and then asking if they could be friends. For example Legally Blonde.
So she had the urge to play dumb. She had realised this day would come, where he wouldn't want to be with her anymore. He had probably only stayed with her in the first place after she had been tainted, only because he wanted her to be stronger, so that she wouldn't kill herself when she still felt like doing so. He had led her on. How dare he!? Now she was angry and felt as if she would burst into tears at any moment.
"Our future? What are you talking about, I don't understand"
"Relena" he flashed her a heart warming smile. But her heart couldn't take it.
"If you don't want to be with me anymore, I understand. I wouldn't want to be with me after what happened. I'm stupid, ugly and tainted. I have no use." She began to sob
"Relena! That's not true and you know it. You are beautiful, amazing, intelligent and I love you."
'Oh great' she thought, he's going to do the whole 'let's just be friends', bit.
She looked away from him, but he only took one of his hands away from hers and moved her chin so she was facing him again. "Relena, I love you. I have loved you for a long time. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Your talented, and intelligent. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Relena will you marry me?"
He pulled out a black velvet box from his inside jacket pocket and flipped it open.
He looked up into her eyes, pleading her to accept the gold band with a huge diamond set on top of it. She was shocked beyond belief. She had thought that he was going to break up with her, not propose to her! She hadn't been ready for this. At the same time though, the surprise was the best gift she could ever receive.
She leaped into his arms, and instead of crying out of sorrow, she was crying out of pure joy.
"Yes Heero, I will marry you!" He looked so relieved.
He slipped the ring onto her finger and they began making out. Relena had situated herself on his lap somehow, and he was holding her by the waste to him.
The waiter walked by and picked up the check Heero had placed on the table for their meal, and then attempted to pry the two apart by clearing his throat several times. After all it was a public place, and they shouldn't be making out in front of everyone.
But they couldn't help themselves. Relena embarrassed, finally released Heero's mouth and attempted to stand up. But as soon as she stood, Heero dragged her back down.
The waiter, getting annoyed, turned on his heels and left them.
"Umm Heero, I think that we should umm, take this somewhere else" She said shly
"You're right" With that, he picked her up bridal style and carried her out of the building. People only stared in admiration on their way out.
Pagan was waiting for them, and Heero told him to get Relena's Teddy's for her. And then he placed her inside the limo and shut the door. Then they began kissing furiously again.
Relena was beginning to enjoy their life officially together already. She was so excited that she'd get to plan her own wedding soon. She had only dreamed of doing so when she was a little girl. Her dream was now coming true.
Her life was becoming more and more perfect with each passing day, and soon she'd be with the man she loved for the rest of her life. Bounded to him forever, with a love that could never die.
A.N . Well guys, it has been great writing this story. I know it ended very soon. But then again maybe not. But guess what?! I have the sequel almost all planned out. Possibly less evil plotting, and more fluffiness, but I'm still planning on Josh and Kayla's execution. But not in a graphic performance. There may also be a trial, but I'm not into the whole legal bit yet, although I am interested, and I think it would take up a lot of time. I think I should just kill the two evil doers hehehehe. Now I'm interested to know if you guys think I should make the next story sort of a lemon fic. You know a scene here and there. Vote yes or no in your reviews. Much appreciated! Anyway, expect the sequel soon! And I hope you all enjoyed reading this story. I love ya'll!

"Yes?" He could hint a small amount of fear in her voice. It worried him, but he brushed it aside.
"And I think we should start thinking about our future."
Relena's POV
The evening had gone by very quickly, and Relena was quite enjoying it. She was especially loving the cute little teddy bears everywhere around her.
When they had flirted together while sharing the chocolate cake, it had been enjoyable also. But then when Heero bent in front of her she began feeling a small hint of worry. Especially when he began talking about their future.
Was he breaking up with her? She had seen several movies that involved the girls hopes of marriage being crushed by a man who wanted to chase after some new hot pepper. Always claiming they'd love the girl forever and then asking if they could be friends. For example Legally Blonde.
So she had the urge to play dumb. She had realised this day would come, where he wouldn't want to be with her anymore. He had probably only stayed with her in the first place after she had been tainted, only because he wanted her to be stronger, so that she wouldn't kill herself when she still felt like doing so. He had led her on. How dare he!? Now she was angry and felt as if she would burst into tears at any moment.
"Our future? What are you talking about, I don't understand"
"Relena" he flashed her a heart warming smile. But her heart couldn't take it.
"If you don't want to be with me anymore, I understand. I wouldn't want to be with me after what happened. I'm stupid, ugly and tainted. I have no use." She began to sob
"Relena! That's not true and you know it. You are beautiful, amazing, intelligent and I love you."
'Oh great' she thought, he's going to do the whole 'let's just be friends', bit.
She looked away from him, but he only took one of his hands away from hers and moved her chin so she was facing him again. "Relena, I love you. I have loved you for a long time. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Your talented, and intelligent. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Relena will you marry me?"
He pulled out a black velvet box from his inside jacket pocket and flipped it open.
He looked up into her eyes, pleading her to accept the gold band with a huge diamond set on top of it. She was shocked beyond belief. She had thought that he was going to break up with her, not propose to her! She hadn't been ready for this. At the same time though, the surprise was the best gift she could ever receive.
She leaped into his arms, and instead of crying out of sorrow, she was crying out of pure joy.
"Yes Heero, I will marry you!" He looked so relieved.
He slipped the ring onto her finger and they began making out. Relena had situated herself on his lap somehow, and he was holding her by the waste to him.
The waiter walked by and picked up the check Heero had placed on the table for their meal, and then attempted to pry the two apart by clearing his throat several times. After all it was a public place, and they shouldn't be making out in front of everyone.
But they couldn't help themselves. Relena embarrassed, finally released Heero's mouth and attempted to stand up. But as soon as she stood, Heero dragged her back down.
The waiter, getting annoyed, turned on his heels and left them.
"Umm Heero, I think that we should umm, take this somewhere else" She said shly
"You're right" With that, he picked her up bridal style and carried her out of the building. People only stared in admiration on their way out.
Pagan was waiting for them, and Heero told him to get Relena's Teddy's for her. And then he placed her inside the limo and shut the door. Then they began kissing furiously again.
Relena was beginning to enjoy their life officially together already. She was so excited that she'd get to plan her own wedding soon. She had only dreamed of doing so when she was a little girl. Her dream was now coming true.
Her life was becoming more and more perfect with each passing day, and soon she'd be with the man she loved for the rest of her life. Bounded to him forever, with a love that could never die.
A.N . Well guys, it has been great writing this story. I know it ended very soon. But then again maybe not. But guess what?! I have the sequel almost all planned out. Possibly less evil plotting, and more fluffiness, but I'm still planning on Josh and Kayla's execution. But not in a graphic performance. There may also be a trial, but I'm not into the whole legal bit yet, although I am interested, and I think it would take up a lot of time. I think I should just kill the two evil doers hehehehe. Now I'm interested to know if you guys think I should make the next story sort of a lemon fic. You know a scene here and there. Vote yes or no in your reviews. Much appreciated! Anyway, expect the sequel soon! And I hope you all enjoyed reading this story. I love ya'll!
