Ch. 11 - Mistakes
Relena sat up, anger brooding in her from her dreams of Heero. "Curse you Heero Yuy..."
"Relena? What Did you just say?" She immediately recognized the voice. Heero was lying in bed next to her.
"Heero?" The memories of why she was in fact in bed with Heero came rushing back. "Oh gosh, Heero! I thought it was just a dream! I thought it was all a dream!" She hugged him tightly, burying her head in his chest.
"Maybe it should have been..."
Relena looked up at him sadly. "What?"
"Maybe it should have been just a dream..." –You're such a fool. You let your emotions take over. How could you have done this to her? –
She sat up, looking him straight in the eyes. "What...What on Earth are you talking about? You told me you loved me! You have been chasing me around for four days! Now, you finally, after knowing that you loved me for four years! I've loved you for four years! Now you just want to go and say that we're a mistake? Finally being together is a mistake?" She yanked the sheet off the bed and wrapped it around her.
"We're not right for one another..." He sighed. "Last night was a mistake, a joke."
"It wasn't funny."
"No, but it was...a huge mistake. Relena, there is no way we could ever be together...for long...and I think it's best if we go our separate ways."
"We're married!"
"It can be easily annulled. A spur of the moment decision, a little town chapel, splitting up the morning after...it happens every day. I think it's best for both of us." His face never changed. He was emotionless as ever. It tore Relena apart.
But she kept her composure. "If you truly mean what you're saying, then you're right! We aren't right for one another, AT ALL!" –But Heero, we are! – She snatched up her bra and dress from off the floor, hooked the bra, and pulled the dress over her head, dropping the sheet. Then she walked to the door, put her hand on in, and spoke before she turned the nob. "I guess I'll be seeing you in court!" She used all her anger to fling the door open and nearly off the hinges.
Heero whispered to himself, "I'm sorry, Relena, but it's for the best. You deserve better than me. I was a fool to have ever thought otherwise..."
Tearing-up, Relena ran up the flight of stairs separating Duo/Heero's room from she and Hilde's. As she neared the door, she stuck her hand down into her tiny, black matching purse and pulled out the key. She jammed it into the door, turned it, and flung the door open. Throwing her purse across the room, she stormed inside. –Gosh...I don't think I've EVER been this angry! HOW could he do this to me? He didn't have to talk to me last night. He could have said 'I'm not Heero,' or been his normal indifferent self. He didn't have to kiss me. He didn't have to marry me. He didn't have to have sex with me...though it was wonderful. No! I'm angry with him! I will NEVER forgive him! –
She plopped down onto her bed, but she quickly jumped back up, feeling something under her bottom. "What is going on!?!" She turned, eyes blazing, searching for something to take her anger out on. The thing that attracted her attention was a sleepy-eyed man with a brunette braid. "Duo! What are you doing in my room?" She yelled at the top of her lungs, which caused a very nude Ms. Scheibeker to sit up quickly, exposing her state of undress. "Hilde!" Relena spun around to face the wall. "I'm not even going to ask how this happened...I don't care. The only thing I want to know is...HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF LOCKING DOORS?"
"We did lock the door..." Hilde yawned, reality not yet fully setting in.
"Well then why didn't you leave a note or something saying 'don't come in under any circumstances'?"
"I dunno...it was a spur of the moment thing." Hilde layed back down and snuggled under the covers.
–Some friend you are! – "Gosh! I'm just gonna go!" Relena stormed back out the door, slamming it behind her. "Crap! Where am I gonna go now?"
--------
"Can I have another?" Relena asked, finishing off her sixth bottle of beer.
"Sure...You come here often?" The bartender smiled at her as he popped off another top for her.
"Nope...actually, I've never even been to a bar before. I just..." She sighed. –I'm not telling a complete stranger about my problems! –
"C'mon you can tell me! What's said at the bar, stays at the bar!"
"Well...you see there's this guy and..." She took another swig and nearly choked on it.
"You sure you want that?" He asked, not being able to completely stop his laughter at the look on her face.
–Not really...– "Yeah! I'm sure. Everyone thinks I'm such a goodie-goodie. I'd never do anything. Well...they're all wrong!"
"Are they?" He looked her over. "You don't seem like such a bad girl to me."
"You don't believe me?" She stood up, bracing herself on the bar and looked him dead in the eyes. "Watch me!" She leaned over the bar and gave him a peck. "See! I can be daring!" She plopped back down onto her barstool.
"Yes...daring..."
Relena took another swallow. "And see we got married last night." The bartender shook his head. "But we're getting it annulled."
"Were you drunk last night, too?"
"No! I've never been drunk before in my life! But now! I'm sick of being the good girl! If Heero doesn't want me....someone else can have me!" She stood up, flinging her arms in the air and fell flat on her butt. Then, she began laughing. "Oops! Look! I fell!"
The bartender came around the bar and helped her back up. "I'm Kevin."
"And...I...I'm Relena!" She smiled triumphantly as he helper her back onto her barstool, before assuming his position on the other side of the bar.
"Well Relena, I think we're going to get along perfectly."
Then another man walked up to the bar and ordered, then, as he waited for his drink, he began to tell "Kevin" about the local goings-on of the night. "Yep! And there's a HUGE party down at Cocomo Bay! What time do you get off?"
"In an hour..."
"Awesome...so that's what...5? Exactly on time, my man!" He leaned closer over the bar. "Awesome out-of-towner chicks. I mean...really go for the locals."
"Thanks for the tip." Kevin smiled and handed the man a drink, in exchange for the bills in the man's hand.
"See you there, bro!" He got up and left the bar.
"A pa...party? Sounds fun!" Relena beamed. –If being drunk feels this good, why have I never tried it before? –
"You want to go with me?"
"Sure!"
-----------
"I'm really worried about Relena..." Hilde sighed. "It's not like her to just run off...I mean, she had ever reason to...walking in on us, but..."
"It's all right, babe, I'm sure she'll be back soon."
"She didn't come up last night, like she promised. First time I saw her since maybe nine last night was this morning, and she just left! I mean...I totally would have to, but...I'm just worried! What if something happens to her?"
"Would it make you feel better if I looked for her?"
"Oh it would! But where would you begin?"
"Hmm, Relena, I'd begin at an orphanage or something, but I don't think they have one of those here."
"No, I think I'd begin with Heero."
"Maybe that's a good idea. I'll be back, babe." He kissed her cheek and walked out of the room, down to his own, and knocked. "Am I allowed back in yet?" Since there was no response, Duo withdrew his key and opened the door. "Anybody home?" Heero sat at the little desk in the room, filling out some sort of paperwork. "Hey buddy! Have a peaceful night last night?"
...
"Good! Me too! What you workin' on?"
...
"Sounds like fun! Can I see?"
...
Duo crept over closer to Heero and looked over his shoulder. "Paperwork...fun..."
"Been away from work, need to catch up."
"It speaks!"
Heero then turned to look at Duo, to see exactly how much of his 'paperwork' he was looking over. He carefully tucked it under some books and asked the question that would have been on anyone's mind. "Maxwell, what on earth are you wearing?"
"You like it? I think it makes me look fat." Duo hit a few random poses, to model his grand outfit for Heero. He was now wearing a pink shirt which read "I Rock"...much too tight, and his same blue polka-dotted boxer shorts, now with rainbow rhinestone-studded belt around them. "Hilde needed something to keep her mind occupied, and I became her person fashion victim."
"Hn." Heero stared at the 'paperwork' underneath the books, waiting for Duo to go away.
"Ok man, well I just thought I'd stop by, get some real clothes, and see if you knew where Relena was."
"Why would I know where she is?"
"Oh, I don't know, maybe because you kicked me out of the room for no reason last night, and then she never came up to Hilde's room until early this morning."
"Well, she made it up to Hilde's...so why do you need my help?"
"So you're admitting you were with her before she went back to her room?"
"No...I'm saying she's a big girl who found her way home before and can do it again, without my help." –Or yours...–
"I just find it all a LITTLE strange!"
"I've always found you more than a LITTLE strange. I'm happy to give you some of that same joy in return."
"Heero...where is she and what did you do to her?"
"I don't know and nothing. Are we done?"
"No! We're not done! Because you're a liar! I know you're a liar! And I'm going to find her and prove that you're a liar!" Duo unhooked the belt, pulled off the shirt, and put on some decent pants.
"Hn." Heero pulled back out the papers.
"I don't know why in the heck you can't get it through your thick head she loves you! She loves you, you idiot! And I know that you love her too! If you're too blind to see that, you don't deserve her!" Duo walked out the door and slammed the door behind him.
Heero read the paper aloud. "Reason for separation...Stupidity."

An: Ok! Yes, I know I know, you hate me! I promise it's not bad forever, but now you know why she's upset. Doesn't it make u feel all warm and fuzzy? Lol. Well, please review!
Special Thanks:
Wing – Yep! Everything went VERY fast, but Heero decided to slow things down a notch once he came to his senses. And yes, he is still under the impression he doesn't deserve her. Duo's going to become more and more of a problem, don't worry.
Daddynaz – Yep, that's them emotional and sexually frustrated. I didn't know about the manga, but that's very interesting. I know, it wasn't that different, but the reason it sounds so....realistic...is b/c I was drawing on person experience, trying to capture that moment. I'm glad that you're liking it so far...that is, if you're liking it anymore! Yes, I have been reading ur fics. Slowly but surely. I'm anxious to read more.
Raizard333 – Doesn't matter if the wedding was legal, it'll be over soon enough. Hilde and Duo will hit some bumps, thanks to hxr, too.
Hpgirl21- Thanks for the review!
Raven - I think we all come to a point where we'd like to kill Heero. Thanks for the review.
Hououza – I figured you had the ring all figured out. I want to know what you were 'half wrong' about. Email me neoqueenserinityhotmail.com . Yes, it's going to take a while to get back to happy, though, sorry! Thanks for reviewing.
Naith – Thank you so much for the review!
