Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, and if I did, it'd still be on YTV.
Notes: I don't HATE Relena, per say. I highly dislike the little brat, but hate? Me? Never! XD Dedicated to Nikker's, who mused me. I had noticed that I missed my Gundam Wing boys…
Summary: "I'm sending you my regards, Relena. I though you'd realize by now, I never loved you…"
Relena was ill. Everyone knew it; and no matter what the queen of the Sanq Kingdom said, she was not getting any better. As far as anyone knew, no one had yet to come up with what the illness was, yet everyone had their suspicions. Relena, on the other hand, knew. She knew what it was.
"Heartbreak."
Noin looked up from the vase she was watering.
"What was that, Relena?"
"I'm ill because of heartbreak. Look," A little card was produced from seemingly no where's, and Noin took it.
"Oh, Relena…"
The card fell noiselessly to the ground as Noin embraced Relena, who's silent tears trickled down her face and were lost in Noin's cotton sweater. On the floor, in tidy script, the card read;
Relena,
I'm sorry if you believe I ever loved you. I have never, could never, and will never love you, Relena, because my heart belongs to another. Please, forget about me. I am proposing to Duo on Saturday, the second. You are invited to our wedding, if you are well enough. I love you, but as a brother would, Relena. So please, find yourself a nice boy to settle down with.
Sending my Regards,
Heero.

Blankets shifted as Heero slipped into the bed he shared with Duo. "Your home late." Duo stated, as the now nineteen year old slipped an arm around his koi. "I know, babe. I'm sorry. I had to work late is all." Heero whispered, nibbling on Duo's tender earlobe. The braided ex-pilot giggled sleepily. "Heero…" he warned, turning to face the once stonic man. Heero's eyes twinkled mischievously.
"Duo Maxwell, you are the most beautiful creature in the world."
Duo pushed his hair out of his face. Moments like this; when it was quiet and Heero was being romantic; were few and rare. Smiling, he placed a gentle kiss on Heero's lips.
"What brought this up?"
Heero smiled warmly, running a soft finger along Duo's chin.
"Can't I compliment my boyfriend without all the suspicion?"
Duo laughed, and Heero pulled him into his arms. "Of course you can, Heero. I never said you couldn't. So how was your day?" Heero's arms tightened around Duo's waist. "Relena's getting sicker." He stated, and Duo sighed. "The poor girl. Anyone know what's wrong with her yet?" Heero thought a moment. "No." Duo sighed. "Heero…I wish you'd take some time off so we can spend a weekend alone." He said, quietly. Heero smiled against the braided ex-pilots hair. "Duo, sit up for a minute, I have something really serious to ask you." Duo, a little startled at the sudden request, sat up. Heero reached over to his bedside table, and pulled out a small box. "Duo Maxwell…we've been together since before the war ended. We've been through so much…and yet your still here beside me. Duo, would you consider marrying me?" Duo blinked at the box was opened, revealing a slim silver ring. "Oh…Heero…of course I will!" Duo launched himself at Heero, embracing his now fiancé. "I love you, Heero." Duo whispered, "I love you so much!" Heero smiled. "Well, that's always good. Let's go to sleep, Duo. Alright? We've got to tell everyone all about it tomorrow." Duo giggled sleepily. "Quatre's gunna shit a brick once he finds out…"

"How come you never proposed to me, Trowa? Don't you love me enough?" Quatre's large aquamarine eyes shone as he tugged on Trowa's arm. Silently, Trowa placed his arms around the tiny blonde, placing a kiss on his forehead. "If it's that important, I could ask you." Quatre's eyes widened. "Really? Oh, Trowa! I've always wanted to get married! And I love you so much! But you don't have to…" Duo tried to hide the smile that was trying to make it's way onto his face. Trowa had been planning on asking Quatre anyways. "No, little one, I wanted to anyways. See?" Producing a tiny black velvet box, he kneeled before Quatre. " Quatre Winner, will you marry me?" Quatre squealed. "Of course! Oh, Duo, now we're both getting married!" Quickly, the blonde embraced his friend. "Yeah! Imagine that, we're both brides!" Duo stated, giddily grinning. Trowa raised an eyebrow and looked at Heero, who shrugged.
"We need to plan!"
"Oh, Q-man, lets have it the same time! Like, a joint wedding!"
"Ooh! Duo, that's a perfect idea! Trowa, Heero, what do you two think?"
Trowa smiled at Quatre. "Anything you want, little one." He stated, and Quatre leapt into his arms. "Well, Heero? What do you say?" Duo asked, batting his eyelashes at his lover. "I say…if that's what you want, it sounds perfect." Duo's smile could have shorted out the sun at that point. "When should we have it?" Quatre asked, and Duo grinned. The two went off to sit by fireplace to discuss the soon to be wedding plans.
"Well, there go the women folk." Heero stated, running a hand through his hair as Trowa laughed. Both looked at the two other men. "Sure is snowing hard, Heero…are you sure you and Duo should drive home in this?" Trowa asked, as the falling snow caught his eye. "We'll be alright. We went through worse then this in the war, right?" Trowa glanced back to where his lover sat. "Quatre's worried about your living arrangements, you know. HE thinks you should come live here until you get back on your feet. He's always on the phone with Duo…he's lonely when your at work, Heero." Heero sighed. "I know. But there's nothing I can do…they have me working like a dog out there. And he's not always home. He does have a job." Trowa shook his head, sighing slightly. "Your what he lives for, Heero. And if he doesn't see you more than a couple hours a day, he's going to start to wonder if you really love him." Heero's eyes drifted to said braided pilot. "I…I love him so much, Trowa…" Trowa placed a hand on his friends shoulder. "I know, Heero. I know."

"Relena? Could I speak to you?"
Noin's face appeared in Relena's doorway. Relena waved her in, wearily. "You've received a wedding invitation…would you like to look at it?" Relena sighed. "I suppose. Who is it from?" Noin glanced at the gold script on the card. "Quatre and Duo." She stated, confused. "What? I thought Heero was proposing to Duo!" Relena stated, sitting up in her bed. Noin read the card. "He did. Their having a joint wedding." Relena sighed. "Ah. At least their happy, then. When is it?" Noin glanced over the date. "In a month. The fifteenth of June. It says you can bring someone, and that wedding gifts are not needed. " Relena smiled softly. "Oh, they'll get a wedding gift. They deserve it. And Noin, would you like to go with me to the wedding?" Noin blushed lightly. "Me, Miss. Relena? Certainly." Relena smiled. "You know, Noin…I've always rather liked you…" Noin smiled. " I've rather liked you myself…"
