The Story of Our Love
Part 17: Reverting
Duo walked into his home that same night and was a little distant. Hilde looked at him. She was holding Deuce.
" He refuses to sleep until he's seen you tonight. Please put him in bed, then come tell me what's bothering you. I have a plate waiting." Hilde said.
" Ok. Hey Deuce. How's my boy?" Deuce clasped his hands together and smiled at him. Heidi was long asleep and was snoring like a train. Duo tucked his son in and kissed him on the forehead and instant sleep. Deuce was gone already.
Duo walked into the kitchen and Hilde was stirring her tea and cleaning spaghetti off of the walls. A hot plate of spaghetti and meatballs piled high with grated parmesan cheese was sitting with a tall glass of root beer. Duo smiled. Hilde finished scrubbing the walls and sat down next to Duo.
" So, what's bothering my dear sweet husband?" Hilde kissed him. Duo smiled at her. He stirred his spaghetti and began eating.
" What makes there's something wrong with me, Hilde?"
" Well, for one, you haven't called me Hilde in God knows how long. I can hardly remember what my name sounds like coming from your lips. For another, you came in the house quietly. You never come in quietly. So, I know something is wrong with you because I AM your WIFE, ya know." Hilde giggled like a schoolgirl.
" Well, I just saw something a little disturbing today."
" And what might that have been?" Hilde took a deep sip of her tea.
" Heero and Michelle were...fornicating." Duo said. Hilde spit the tea all over the walls and looked at Duo with wide violet eyes.
" You've gotta be shittin' me. How can that be, Duo? They're getting married. Why would Heero have an affair with her?" Hilde looked at Duo for answers.
" I do not know, Hilde."
" I'm calling Relena right now. I'm going to tell her of Heero's infidelity." Hilde got up and reached for the phone. Duo dove for it and looked at his wife.
" Duo, it isn't right. Someone has to tell her."
" I will talk to Heero tomorrow, Hilde. I will not let you or I be the bearer of bad news. Heero and Relena have a child together. This type of thing could bring a real strain on Relena and we already know she doesn't need it. I'll let Heero come clean on his own." Duo said. Hilde looked sternly at him. She sighed.
" Fine, Duo." Hilde went to clean the tea off the wall.
The next day, Michelle passed Heero. He avoided her eyes and kept walking. He went into his office that he shared with Duo. Duo was sitting at his desk, reading. He glanced at his best friend, who looked physically tired.
" Heero, close the door." Duo said. Heero did so and went to his desk.
" Heero, I know what you and Michelle did last night." Duo said. Heero looked at him.
" You saw us, I know. I saw you. Did you tell Relena?"
" I don't think it is my place to do so. I think you should tell her and tell her soon. The sooner you tell her, the better she will take it."
Meanwhile, Relena walked down the hall towards Heero's office. She was about to knock when she heard her name.
" Heero, why did you do her, anyway?" Duo asked solemnly.
" I don't rightfully know. I guess I sort of wanted to. She initiated it, not me. Relena is going to hate me for having an affair with Michelle."
Relena's eyes widened. She opened the door with such a force that it was swung off its hinges. Hilde looked up and saw what was happening.
" You SLEPT with that GIRL?!?!?! That's where you were last night?!?!?! How could you?!" Relena threw the papers at him. Not one single tear had left her face. She straightened her composure and glared evilly at her fiance. A long scary moment of silence followed.
" Here." Relena took off her ring and threw it at Heero. Then she stormed out to Michelle's desk. She knocked her down and puched her seven times before Zechs and Duo pulled her off of her.
" You're fired and I will see to it that you never work again!!! I want you out of here now." Relena said. She still had not yet cried. Now the world was spinning to her. She went to her office and slammed the door.
Sitting in her desk, she looked at the picture of Heero, Dru, and herself. She had hoped that they would be together forever. Relena grabbed her keys and left her office.
" Relena, where are you going?" Hilde asked. Relena kept walking. Zechs looked worriedly at his sister. She still looked like she was holding all her anger inside. He started to follow her, but Noin stopped him.
" Let her be alone. She needs to vent and she can't do that with any of us around."
" Fine. But, I'm going to kill Yuy."
Relena opened her car door and drove away from the building at full speed. She drove and drove, not really knowing where she was going. Somehow, she ended up at her house. Relena opened the door to her condo and bolted it shut.
" How could he?" Relena said. Relena looked in her mirror.
AN: What's going to happen to her? Hmmmmm.........
