"He loves her, you know. He just hasn't learned how to express his emotions yet." Duo said to Trowa as the two sat in Quatre's living room, sipping tea.
"Well then, he better hurry up and tell her, because she's beginning to lose hope. It's tearing her apart inside. She's becoming a drone, becoming what he is."
What he was," countered Duo.
They're changing places. Each day as he slowly opens up more and more, she is fading. I'm worried about her. She - "
"Duo! Trowa!"
"Hey ojousan!"
"Relena, what are you so cheery about?"
"Do you remember Hojo?"
"The fire eater at Trowa's circus?" asked Duo.
"Yeah, well - "
"He asked you out on a date, didn't he?" Duo, as usual jumped to conclusions. And for once, he was right.
""Yup!" said an enthusiastic Relena.
"And of course you said yes," smirked Trowa.
"Duh." Relena rolled her eyes. "I told him it was just gonna be a friendly date though."
"Sure, just a friendly date."
"Wait, who has a date?" came a voice from the doorway. The three turned around to see the speaker, Hilde, enter, followed by Heero.
"Relena does," Trowa stated, glaring at Heero. "You remember Hojo?"
"The fire eater from your circus? He was so sweet! And hot too..."
"Hey!" cried Duo.
"Aww, not as hot as you, sweetie," comforted Hilde. "So, where's he taking you?"
"Oh, just dinner and the movies. Nothing fancy. I'm glad though. I could use a simple night out."
"He's a good guy. I'm sure he'll treat you well." Trowa smiled, genuinely happy for his friend. At this, Heero gave a slight growl.
"What's wrong, Heero?" Relena asked, concerned. Heero walked out of the room, refusing to recognize that the question had even been asked.
An extremely annoyed look on his face, Duo shouted after Heero, "Don't pay any attention to him. He's just acting like a prick 'cos he missed his chance!"
Trowa glared at Duo, while Relena gave him a confused look.
"Um..I'd better go...cookies in the oven...gotta be watched, you know?" Hilde scrambled out the door, not wanting to be around when the fight started.
Forgetting that Relena was there, Trowa grabbed hold of Duo's collar and pinned him to the wall. "Duo, you dumbfuck! She's finally getting over him! She's moving on! It's his own damn fault he didn't tell her - "
"Fuck it Trowa! Haven't you seen the way he loojs at her?! He tells you everything! You can't deny it!"
"He's breaking her heart! I refuse to stand by and watch her get hurt any longer!"
"He's breaking his heart Trowa, thinking he's no good!" countered Duo.
Heero stood in the hall, downcast, listening to the verbal assaults. They were both right. He was hurting her, something he never wanted to do. I don't deserve her. A tear found it's way down Heero's cheek as he walked to his room.
Trowa continued his tirade while slaming Duo into the wall again. "Just let her have a chance with someone who will actually show appreciation for once!"
Duo sighed. "I want to see her happy too, but - "
"But I never got over Heero." Relena interjected. Duo and Trowa turned towards her. "I never will. But I know I have to move on, and Hojo's a great guy. I am going out with him tonight, but my heart will always belong to Heero. Now, if you two will excuse me, there's someone I need to talk to."
Duo and Trowa stood frozen, just blinking in utter astonishment and confusion.
Relena knocked on Heero's door. "Heero? May I come in?"
"Hn."
I'll take that as a yes. She opened the door. "Hey."
Heero just glared at her, then turned back to his computer screen. Relena walked over to his bed and lay down. Here goes nothing... "The house idiot said that you might like me."
"Duo?"
"Hai."
"And?"
This is like pulling teeth. "And I wanted to know if he was telling the truth."
"Hn."
Turning on her side and hugging his pillow, Relena looked directly at Heero, who had turned around. "I was hoping he was."
Something flashed across those Prussian blue pools before Heero again turned his back on Relena. "Are you still going on that date tonight?"
"Hai. I'm going because I like Hojo. I like him as a friend. I don't love him. I just want to get to know him better."
"Then who do you love?"
Wow. He said more than two words. What has this world come to? Relena pulled her thoughts together. I love someone who thinks he's unworthy. Why he believes this, I don't know. He protects everyone, but never does anything for himself. How could anyone so selfless ever be unworthy?"
"Relena..."
"For once Heero, do what you want!"
The strange look again passed over Heero's eyes. In an instant he was standing over Relena, kissing her with all his pent up passion.
"Is this..."
"What I want."

^.^ Well, I hope you liked it. I'm rather proud of this one. It came together pretty quickly, the first half being written in English class during one of my teacher's b.s. discussion forums, and the second half during a free period. It's my first attempt at a 1xR. Please review! Heck, flame me if you want!
