Ch 2-A Night of a New Friendship
Relena stepped into the front door slightly wet. When she ran to catch up with Heero the umbrella barley stayed above her head . She looked over her clothes then at Heero. Water dripped off the bridge of her nose and his thick brown hair clung to his handsome face. She was tempted to brush the hairs out of his face and behind his ears. He closed the umbrella and sat it down on the floor next to the door. Quietly he stared back at her. They were both wet and cold. She could tell he was cold by the unstoppable shaking of his shoulders. His lip trembled as well. She took a breathe in and exhale in a sigh.
" What do you say we get off this wet clothes" she asked.
He nodded and she motioned for him to follow her. He did. She led upstairs into her room. She went straight to a pair dresser draws on the right of her room. She pulled the top draw open and then closed it quickly. She had forgot that was her underwear draw. She open another draw and searched through frantically. She pull out a large t-shirt and a pair huge pj pant's. She handed the clothes to Heero and Pointed the Bathroom. He looked at the clothes in his hands then back at her. She knew exactly what he was thinking.
" Don't worry there my brothers."
"And is that suppose to make me feel better." His plush pink lips parted into smile.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes and laugh. He enter the bathroom and shut the door. She heard it click and she knew that he locked it. Good. She moved quickly. She quickly stripped herself of her wet clothes and dried her skin. she applied lotion and got redressed in a large t-shirt , what she usually slept in. She took a seat at her vanity and began brushing wet and tangled hair. She heard the bathroom door open and turned o see Heero standing in the door with no shirt and a pair of her brother's flannel pj's. He looked so adorable.
"Where's the shirt I gave you , aren't you going to put it on?" she questioned.
Not that she was complaining. He through the shirt and replied
" I don't wear shirt's to bed, there to uncomfortable".
A large smiled crossed her face gracing her famine features. By now he was approaching her.
" And what are you wearing, why don't wear any pant's."
She stood and walked over to her closet.
"Like you said, there to uncomfortable."
He noticed that when she reached up to hang up her towel above her closet door her shirt rose with her, barely covering her butt. Heero's thought's began to wonder. He shock his head in order to get rid of his thoughts. He crossed the room, and sat on her four post bed. She moved toward him.
"What now."
"We can watch a movie but first you have to answer my question"
"Okay" he stared her hesitantly
"Why are here and why where outside my house in the middle of the night in a storm . "
His head hung low. His eyes stated off into a world of forgetfulness, but he could never forget whet brought him here, to her doorstep. He could n't deny it anymore.
"Well I uh went for a walk and ended up here." He thought back to the real reason he had ventured out into the lonely night.
Hilde plopped down on the couch next to Duo. She had been dating him for the past 4 years, and now she thought no knew she was ready. Ready to spend the rest of her life with him. She was waiting patiently for him to ask for her hand in marriage, but she never pushed him. He never talked to her about it, she always wondered about what keeps him from popping the question. She talked to Heero about it but he never fully answered her question. It was like he knew something but couldn't tell her. But what if he's not ready, what if he knows I'm ready but is afraid of commitment. She never thought about how he must feel. Her thoughts came to a brutal halt when she heard Duo's voice in her ear.
"Wh-what" She asked truly confused.
"Are you going to the Holiday Banquet tomorrow?" Duo repeated
"Yep"
She noticed Heero sitting in the seat across from, staring attentively at the new anchorwomen. She was saying something about a storm heading there way.
"Are you going, Heero"
"No, why should I" He answered never looking away from the Tv
"Because she'll be there"
"So, that still doesn't change my decision"
"Heero you know you want to go , you love her and you know it"
"Ha, you must crazy I have no intimate feeling for that girl"
"You're the biggest liar I know, you love her, why won't you just admit it, It would be easier on both of you"
"I don't love her"
"Yes you do"
"No I don't"
"Do to"
"Do not"
Hilde's head would snap to either one of the guys with every answer.
"DO TO"
"DO NOT"
"Okay okay, you'll are starting to sound like a bunch of little children."Hilde stated very annoyed
"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS" they both screamed.
"Duo for the last time I DON'T love Relena"
"Yes you do, just admit it"
Heero was starting to get really frustrated. He grabbed the remote and shut off the Tv, then through the remote down on the set he sat on. He turned and left the room.
"Hey buddy, I'm not done with you yet"
"But I'm done with you"Heero shouted as he headed for the front door.
"Where are you going" Hilde asked
"For a walk"
"In this weather-" but before she could finish he was gone.
"In the middle of a storm" Relena asked
"Yeah"
"That's so like you, not caring enough about yourself" She said just below a whisper.
"What?"
"Oh nothing" She jumped off the bed and moved toward her tv.
"So what are you the mood for, drama, comedy, action, or romance."
He turned way feeling his cheeks grow red.
" I don't care, you pick" knowing that she would probably pick some chick flick.
"Aw right, I choose uh action."
He was surprised. Very. She knelt in down front of a stack of DVD's. She searched through the tower and grabbed one.
"Okay, we're watching the matrix"
She said bouncing over to a large dresser like chest. She pulled opened the doors and rolled back into the chest to where they could not be seen. She shiftily placed the DVD in the player and returned to Heero's side. She cuddled underneath her comforter, then patted the spot next to her, motioning for Heero to join her. He hesitated but moved and sat next her anyways. He could smell the scent of her hair, which smelt like cinnamon apples. He breathed in deeply trying to keep the moment forever.
