"Silvia?" Heero blinked in surprise. 'How did I end up here?' They were in his apartment, the air warm unlike the cold that surrounded the apartment complex.
'Where's Relena?' His mind questioned with haste. Even though she hurt him, he couldn't get her out of his life, even with Silvia here.
"Heero..." Silvia said, getting out of her spot of the couch to come closer to him, wearing a white t-shirt and some baggy pants she found. "You're awake, I'm glad." A smile overcame her features, lighting up the room seemingly.
"Where is—"She broke him off with a mug of hot chocolate in his hands.
'Don't say it!' Her mind pleaded. 'Don't say her name!'
"Where is Relena?" Heero asked, not hearing her silent pleads.
"Do you want her instead of me?"
"I don't want anyone."
"Then..." She looked at him with a silent plead in her eyes to say her name like that instead of Relena's. To have all his thoughts on her and what they could share together. "Why?" She choked almost.
"I made a promise, once long ago." He told her, looking at the cup of hot chocolate. "I swore I would protect her, no matter what,"
"I see..." Silvia said, not clearly understanding the whole situation. "What about yourself?"
"I stayed alive to protect her." Heero told her. "I rarely got hurt in the process of protecting her, so I watched over myself too. Nothing could hurt me, unless I was strongly distracted."
"Even her?"
"What?" Heero looked at Silvia, the tone she used to say that didn't seem real. It was so cold, so hateful having not been able to even say her name she hated thinking of her so much.
"I said, even her." She repeated with utmost loathing for the blonde haired angel with blue eyes. "Could you protect yourself from even her?"
Heero remained silent and Silvia took a sip of her drink and moved closer to him. She had won round one, but Heero wouldn't give up so easily.
"You can't go back to her now without explaining what happened to the other pilots."
Heero's eyes widened a little bit. 'The other pilots,' He thought. 'Do they know about what happened?' He couldn't handle all of them knowing about the little girl, knowing how they would hate him for murdering someone as innocent as a child.
'What will they do?' He thought absentmindedly.
