The spent the whole day staying out of Duos way. Whenever she saw him she
walked in the opposite direction. They didn't speak, acknowledge or look at
each other.
At about 3 o clock J summoned Heero to his office and Taryn went to.
Heero was to be sent to a large military base to infiltrate and then destroy it. She was going with him, he didn't need her as it was a straightforward mission but Duo due to his injuries couldn't leave and she had to get away from him.
Heero had looked puzzled when she had asked but had agreed to have her come along anyway.
She had tried to cover up her real reasons for going by saying, as it was such a straightforward mission it would help her to use Ralph in a true battle rather than just a simulator.
As she walked across the cold concrete towards her gundam she thought of Duo but just thinking about him hurt.
She loved him.
It was the first time she'd admitted it to herself then without noticing she said it out loud. Then Heeros arms were around her and all she could do was cry.
She knew from the time she had spent with Heero since she had rediscovered him that he was very quiet. He had an air of mystery and a untouchableness.. that he radiated. No one messed with him and even Duo was wary of him.
For him to hug her was the old Heero not the new Heero but maybe it was time more of the old Heero surfaced.
This new Heero was missing the heart and warmth of the old Heero. She missed the old Heero, he had been her best friend and her brother.. non biologically of course.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*****~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why did she want to come on a mission with him?
What had happened in the few minutes she had been alone with Duo?
Why were they ignoring each other? What had gone wrong?
His thoughts were interrupted as Taryn said "I love him".
Without thinking he wrapped his arms around her and was surprised firstly with his compassion for her and secondly for the warm tears that flowed from her eyes onto his arm.
To hold someone was something Heero hadn't done in a long time. And to hold Taryn again bought a million and one memories rushing into his head.
//////////****\\\\\\\\\\
Taryn on her first day of training when the commander had called her a miserable little brat.
The time he had told her that what she was eating was kittens just to wind her up. It had taken him hours to convince her it wasn't.
When they had had a fight and he had said he hated her.
And all the tears he had cried for her when locked in the cell.
The loneliness he had felt. His heart was laid open and vulnerable. He had screamed her name until he was hoarse.
Finally his heart broke and turned to stone. That was how they had made the perfect soldier. By stealing the one thing he cared about more than his own life and making him believe it was gone forever.
The one thing he thought he could never live without and life forced upon him. They had told him OZ had taken her and so he had used all that anger he felt towards them.
Now that it wasn't OZ who had taken her and she was here had wrong footed him at first but he remembered all the other things they had done and were doing and once again his mind was set.
When she had stopped crying she raised her face to him thanked him and got in her gundam, without once mentioning the reason for her outburst.
Heero shook his head and slowly climbed into Wing. She'd tell him when she was ready.
As they neared the military base they set the gundams down and made to infiltrate the base. They had the floor plans and plans of the airshafts and with the lack of security there seemed to be it looked like it would be a breeze.
How wrong they were.
