The Offer
Heero followed Chang inside the quaint home or at least that's what he thought of it as although to him
nothing about this visit or Wufei was quaint.
"So Wufei you wanted to warn me about my mysterious contractor. Who is then?"
Wufei looked at Heero and shook his head hoping his friend would use that cool patience he was so known
for. "I cannot tell you who is for I do not even know that myself yet." he paused letting the words have
their effect before continuing, "But I can tell you that if you accept his mission then you might as well
put the gun to your own head now because that's exactly what you'll do afterwards."
"Who does he want me to kill?" Heero said looking directly in Wufei's eyes as if to search for some lie
Some reason not to believe what he was about to hear.
"Relena."
Heero looked down before punching the wall and causing a hole to be there. He carefully brushed off his hand before looking back at Wufei who all the while was silent as he watched the rage reach a boiling point in his friend.
"How do you know this?" He asked not really caring about the answer but just trying to find some way to
control his anger. Wufei pulled out a gun and then pulled it back once letting a bullet fall into the
holding part of the gun, Heero watched with a strange curiosity forming. What the Fuck is Wufei doing? he thought as he watched him place the gun on the table
and then slide it over to him.
Wufei looked into Heero's eyes and smiled grimly. "Because I was ordered to kill you and her if you
accepted and then didn't complete." he said before closing his eyes waiting for the shot but then opened
them when he heard a thud as if someone had sat down in one of the chairs. He looked to find Heero sitting
down with a slight grin on his face but Wufei knew it was out of happiness but malice.
"I won't kill you Wufei because you obviously have no intention of fulfilling the order but you will help me protect her and you will help find out who our mysterious benefactor is so I can put a bullet in his
head and a bomb in his house." he said.
Wufei sat as well and then folded his hands before him. "That's easier said then done my friend. I
already did a thousand traces and I have my men keeping their ears open for information but nothing
has turned up. If we don't accept he will find others who will and they will have no problem with killing
her." he stopped and watched Heero take in the information slowly losing his grin. Obviously he
thought that Wufei wasn't going to help anymore than he did already. Wufei smiled at this before
continuing, "So of course I'm game now all we have to do is tell the others and before you object consider
this how long were you expecting to hide from her I mean if I found you this easily then how long will it
be before duo and the others do as well and there will be more repercussions if that happens than if you come back of your own accord."
Heero nodded slowly before getting up and walking to the door. He stopped and turned his head back a little so as to look over his shoulder. "Get them to meet at the old place like we used to but don't tell them I
will be there and make sure duo understands not to tell Relena anything she seems to survive better if
she's oblivious to everything. I'll meet you there in a week and we'll plan." he kept walking and then
stopped again before he closed the front door. "Oh and Wufei if I find out your double crossing me I won't
hesitate in killing you." and then he closed the door and hailed a cab back to his hotel finding it cleaned
up and dinner waiting on his bed. He ate quickly before placing the tray outside his door for the maid
to pick and then laying down he closed his eyes for a second before opening them again
"Relena"
"Relena!"
"Yes minister." she said as she turned around to face the old man before giving him the kiss of greeting
that she was so known for. He gave it back before taking her hands in his and congratulating her on the
speech she made. She thanked him back and watched the old man walk away as she felt two strong arms wrap around her and she leaned back in their hold. "Hello Duo dear." she said before turning up to look at him. He smiled before kissing her lightly on the lips. "He's right you know? Your speech was excellent." She smiled at this before turning back around and watching the couples dance.
Listen as the wind blows
From across the great divide
Voices trapped in Yearning
Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion
The solitude my guide
She smiled and began to rock to the haunting melody. This was Heero and I's song I remember playing it for him and his eyes owe his eyes said everything that night and I knew he loved me. I don't know how but I knew. she thought silently to herself as a tear rolled down her cheek but instead off brushing them
away as he always did Duo let this one go. She needs to heal it's been years since then and she just needs
to heal and to let go. he thought as he felt the emotions well up inside her.
Would I spend forever here
and not be satisfied
And I would be the one
to hold you down
and kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after that I'd wipe away your tears
Just close your eyes dear
Relena had stopped listening after that before she looked up into the night sky and smiled. "Heero
they're playing our song." she said softly before adding a goodbye and then turning to Duo she did
something he didn't quite expect. She kissed him it wasn't passion ridden but it was sweet and it was sign
one that he never expected to see. "I'm ready to live Duo. Will you help me?" she said with a small smile.
He didn't say anything he looked at her and then dipped his head low capturing her lips in a kiss just
as sweet as the one she had given him.
Through this world I stumble
so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word
to find the truth enslaved
you speak to me in riddles
you speak to me in rhyme
my body aches to breath your breath
and your words keep me alive.
They kissed like there was no tomorrow just reveling in the others touch. Oblivious to all that was around
them, for the first time in a long time Relena felt loved.
And I would be the one
to hold you down
and kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after that I'd wipe away your tears
Just close your eyes dear
"Love me Duo." she whispered fiercely before kissing him again
Into this night I wander
it's morning that I dread
another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread
into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
cause nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied.
I'll do my best Relena that I promise. he thought before pulling away and then leading her away from the party.
And I would be the one
to hold you down
and kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after that I'd wipe away your tears
Just close your eyes dear
Relena cast one last look at the stars at her and Heero's star before she looked back at duo and closed
the door.
