Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or its characters. I do not own Hojo
either...I'm borrowing him from the cast of Inuyasha (even if he isn't a
fire-eater there).
A.N. - Since writing the first chapter of this story, I have realised a few things: 1. I have no reason for Relena staying at Quatre's house, nor for the g- boys to be there. So here is my solution: She is on vacation with her friends. No other explanation. Plot flaw. Mea culpa. 2. I have horrible editing skills. 3. I should probably use a program with spell check to write this 4. My italics were not showing up, thus thoughts will now be enclosed as so: *thought*
So, without further delay, welcome to chapter 2!
At precisely 7:42 p.m. the doorbell rang. Pegan (...because I needed a butler...) promptly answered, escorting a smartly dressed young man into the sitting room.
"Mr. Hojo! It's nice to finally meet you! I've heard so much about you from Trowa and Miss Relena," Quatre greeted, jumping up from his chair to shake the man's hand. "Come, have a drink with me. I shall send Pegan up tpo check on Miss Relena."
"Thank you, Mr. Winner. You are very kind."
"Please, no need for formalities! Call me Quatre."
~~~~~
Hearing the doorbell, Relena quickly applied her makeup. *Supposed to be a friendly date, so why am I running late getting ready?* She had left Heero after laying in his arms for an hour. At the memory, she blushed. *So right...Heero.* She loved him, and he finally reciprocated her feelings. So why was she going on a date with another man? "It's just another hurdle. Hojo and I agreed that this would just be a friendly date."
*Knock*
"Miss Relena? Mr. Hojo is here to pick you up for your date," Pegan called through the door.
"Thank you, I'll be down shortly."
As Relena finished putting her makeup on, another knock came at her door. "Come in!"
The door opened and in walked Heero, stoic mask in place.
"Hey." Relena walked over to Heero, and he pulled her into a gentle embrace. She could hear him sigh against her head. "Don't worry. When I come back tonight -"
"I trust you. I'll wait for you." Relena picked up the double meaning in his words. Not only would he wait for her tonight, but he'd wait for her as long as she needed, because she had waited for him.
For a third time that night, a knock came at Relena's door.
"Come in!"
Quatre walked in as Heero released Relena. "I'm here to escort you downstairs to meet your date."
Relena took the arm he offered and left the room, but not without sending a last loving glance to Heero. To her surprise, he smiled back.
~~~~~
Relena laughed, leaning on Hojo's arm. The two had a wonderful night together. As Hojo escorted her to the door, she sighed.
"You're thinking about Heero, aren't you?" he asked. She had explained the situation to Hojo, to make sure there were no hard feelings.
"Hai. He seems to infiltrate my thoughts."
Hojo smiled and kissed her forehead. "If you ever have a problem with him, I'm here for you. You know that, right?" Relena hugged him.
"Thanks," she smiled, then went in the house.
Relena gave out a tired groan as she stared at herself in the mirror of the dimly lit entrance hall. Hearing the T.V. in the living room, she opened one of the giant doors to see Heero, Duo, and Trowa all curled up on the couch, asleep as the credits were rolling for some movie. *Knowing Duo, I'd bet they were watching some old Jay & Silent Bob movie* she smirked. She never could understand how he got the two most stern and silent men to watch comedies. Relena would ask him to share his secret in the morning.
She took three blankets from the backs of chairs and covered the sleeping Preventer agents, giving each a motherly peck on the cheek. As she covered Heero, he stirred and woke. Smiling down at him, she said "I'm back."
Heero suddenly grabbed her around the waist, swept her off her feet, and ran out of the room before she could make a sound. Up the stairs he flew, with Relena slung over his shoulder. Mixed giggles echoed through the mansion's halls.

So, that's part two...because for some reason people seemed to like this :) I know it was short, but when I get the inspiration, I get it, and I felt bad for making people wait this long. Thus, I hope to get a longer chapter 3 to you all sooner. I.B. willing. Comments and Flames welcome! (I particularly enjoy the flames)
