Watching Over You

Chapter 4: An Undercover Job

It had been hours past dusk and Heero still didn't get a chance to talk to Relena or really be at her side. But I'm still here. I can still take care of her. He pushed his worries away and sat at the brown, wooden desk in his guestroom.

I got the job perfectly and easily... Great... And tomorrow... It'll really begin.

"How's Heero doin'?" Duo asked, leaning against the computer desk as Sally typed away. She smiled, but didn't take her eyes off the screen, "Good, he's in." Duo laughed as if he were defeated, "That's Heero alright! Heheh."

"How's everything going with the threats?" Quatre asked, deeply worried. "No better than they were before. Dang it! Who are these people!?" She yelled and stood out of her seat. "I've got something important to do, will you two take over for me? And watch over Heero!" Sally threw on her jacket and hurried out of the computer room. Duo took her chair and leaned back.

"Where's Wufei and Trowa?" The braided Preventer asked. Quatre smiled, "Working..."

Morning came all too soon. Relena stretched and rubbed at her eyes. She stood up and remembered the young student staying with them. Another chore... I really wish the school could have picked a better time to send a student over here... Oh well... I guess I really shouldn't be so bothered... Ten minutes later, she was dressed and ready for the day. On her to the dinning room, she saw Marvin also walking to the dinning room. She thought about trying to avoid him, for his own safety, but thought it rude to treat him like that.

Maybe I'll just... Umm... Slow down... She took smaller steps and tried to stay unseen. Oh no! Marvin had glanced back after hearing one of her heels squeak. Relena hopped behind a silver-armor statue, but it she wasn't fast enough.

"Miss Relena Peacecraft?" He called. She sighed and slid out of her hiding place, "Yes?"

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, thank you." She felt so bad for trying to avoid him. I'm sure he's great kid.. But... If he's near me, he might get hurt. It was true, and a possibility, but she also wasn't in the mood for another thing to do or another person to talk to. Maybe it'll be good for you to talk to someone young, for a change.

"Are you going to eat breakfast?" Marvin asked, his voice stuttered and soft. "Umm, yes." She smiled and walked by his side.

Heero was pleased with himself for doing such a good job. Finally, I'm close to you Relena... And I'll do my best to keep it this way. I promise... He was more than determined to protect her and would stop at nothing to keep her alive. Even if it means not having Heero talk to you for months...

Relena wore a nearly fake smile as they slowly approached the dinning room doors. Marvin, I'm sorry... But after breakfast, I'm going to need to avoid you.. For your own sake and safety... I'm sorry... She knew as a fact, she shouldn't be near the innocent teen as much as possible.
