"And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cuz I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cuz sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive"

-One-year earlier-

Heero Yuy stood in front of Relena's glorious mansion. Rain poured down on him, his new navy blue suit was ruined but the former assassin knew his princess would not care. If the day had been without rain he would have been drenched with sweat instead of the water from the sky. Yes Heero Yuy was Nervous. He looked down at the small black box he held in his hand. The ring inside wasn't much but it was all he could afford. He knew she wouldn't care. He knew how she cherished the teddy bear he gave her, she would love this.

Heero made his way to the grand front door and rang the bell. Much to his surprise Zech's answered the door. "Isn't that the servants job?"

The tall silvered hair gave his former foe a sad smile "I knew you would be coming and why, come in we need to talk."

Puzzled Heero followed the man into Relena's study.

"Sit" said Millardo.

Heero did not obey. He had to many Questions. How did Zech's know?

: Your probably wondering how I know." Millardo did not wait for Heero to respond, "Duo as you know has a big mouth and we have his phone tapped. We overheard the conversation between Duo and Hildi and what you planning to do. I of course at the time did not take it all that seriously considering your lack of affection for my sister. But one of my men spotted you outside and antique jewelry shop a few nights ago. Then I knew for sure you would be attending the Ball this evening and would probably propose to her a few hours before hand so it could be announced to friends and family later on this evening during the dinner…"

"If you're going to try and forbid me-" Heero began to interrupt until Millardo swung up his hand in seriousness, Heero remain quite.

"Quite the contrary actually. If things were different I promise you I would give you my blessing, I would most defiantly give her away at you're wedding." Said Millardo.

"Then what's the problem?" Asked Heero. Beginning to be concerned that his plans for this evening were in danger.

"If you choose to propose to my sister after what I am going to tell you, you're a better man than I Yuy.."

Heero nodded his head for Millardo to continue.

"A few months ago the Emperor of china agreed to let us have control of all their military bases along with every thing on them, Human and machine. We would have free rein over their military actions…"

"You're family has been trying to get them agree to an alliance for years. This is well beyond that." Said Heero somewhat stunned at what he'd just heard.

Millardo sighed, "There however was a condition. The Emperors son…how should I say it? Lets just say his interest do not lie with woman. And they need and heir to the throne as soon as his father passes. So the request was that Relena marry the prince. But she would bear the kings son and they would pass it off as the princes."

"You would do that to your own sister?" Heero asked enraged.

"No of course not you fool." Said Millardo offended he would thin that. "I told him flat out as soon as I heard. But Relena knew how important this was and she herself set a meeting without my knowledge and signed a binding contract. She is free until her 21st birthday but as soon as that day arrives. She will marry into that family. There is nothing I can do, the contract she signed made herself and its solid."

Heero slid his hand into his pocket and squeezed the box until he heard a crack. Outside he seemed emotionless but on the inside he was screaming. What she had done was only a few short months ago. It was his own fault for taking so long to admit the feelings he and everyone else knew he had. Just a few short months…

Relena entered the room with a bright smile on her face. When she saw Heero her smile somehow got even brighter and more beautiful, if that was even possible. But she saw the look and between her brother and the former Gundam pilot, it was enough to send an eerie chill down her spine. "What's going on?"
