How Could You

Chapter 4
The next day Relena saw Heero walking down the hall. Everyone he past would look at him with pity. It made Relena mad to see the people pitying the man that had saved their lives. She hated how they acted when it came to the ex-pilot.
Heero was walking to the stairs that lead to roof. Relena watched as he headed up the stairs. Grabbing a gun off of a passing Preventor Relena ran after him. The Preventor yelled after her but Relena just ignored them. As she reached to top of the stairs she heard Duo's voice, along with Wufei's.
"Duo, get you ass up here, NOW" she yelled with out taking her eyes off Heero. When they heard Relena call out to them, they both shot up the stairs. They found Relena standing near Heero.
"Wufei call the others." Duo said in a panicky voice. Wufei nodded and called Quatre on his wrist phone. With in two minutes, Quatre and Trowa were standing at the top of the stairs.
"Oh no" Quatre whispered
"Well…shit" was all Trowa could think to say. Heero didn't seem to see or hear any of them.
"Heero, come on back here." Duo requested in a quit voice.
"Heero you don't want to do this." Quatre called
"Heero…" Wufei started to say but was interrupted by the sound of a gun going off and Heero collapsing to the floor.
"Heero" Quatre cried out
"Fuck" Heero mumbled as he held his left arm.
"God damn it, Heero." Relena yelled causing everyone to look at her.
"Holy Shit" Trowa whispered to himself when he saw that Relena was the one holding the gun.
"Huh" Heero looked at Relena.
"How could you? You mother-fucking asshole" Heero blinked.
"How could you? Is all you care about is your self and how you feel." Relena yelled
"R…Re…Relena" Heero mumbled in a soft whisper
"You're such an ass-hole. I can't believe that you would be so cold. You're not even thinking about your friends or the people that love you. You're acting like you're the only one that matters. How can you be so fucking heartless? You are such a fucking ass hole."
"Relena, Stop it, you're going to make it worse."
"Shut up, Duo, I'm sick of how he keeps acting like he is the only one that matters and completely disregarding everyone else's feelings."
"Relena" Heero whispered as he stood up. The look on his face was one of complete shock, "Relena"
"You know what? Screw you Heero, I don't care if you do kill yourself. Go ahead and do it and just forget that I love you, just do it." Relena screamed. She turned away from Heero and walked away. Everyone watched in complete shock. When she got to the door she turned her head and looked back at Heero. Everyone could see the tears sliding down her face. She then continued off of the roof. After a second they heard sobbing coming from the stair way.
"Relena" Heero said softly as he started to the stairs slowly. The other pilots too headed for the stairs fallowing him in confusion.
When they got to the stairs, they saw that Relena had crumbled on the landing and Heero was standing two steps above her. Slowly Heero walked to her and kneeling down he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her against his chest.
"Oh Relena" he whimpered "Oh 'lean' I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. Please don't cry. I didn't want to hurt you. I just thought I wasn't needed anymore." Heero cried in to her hair.
"Heero, oh god, Heero I was so scared that I was going to lose you." She cried fling her arms around his neck.
"I'm sorry"
"Please, Heero, please stay, don't try to leave me anymore, please."
"I wont I swear."
After a little bit, the couple separated only to see the other pilots standing over them. Trowa had his arm wrapped around a tearful Quatre, smiling. Duo had a tissue wiping his eyes. And Wufei was handing Quatre a tissue as well. He then handed Relena and Heero both a tissues of their own. Heero looked at Wufei and nodded his thanks
Heero set on the hospital table after Sally had finished fixing up his arm.
"Heero…?" Relena asked sticking her head in the door.
"Come on in." he said smiling at her.
"How are you feeling?"
"Like I was shot in the arm" he smirked
"I'm so sorry, that I shot you. I can't even believe that I shot you." She walked up to him staring at the floor.
"Well I'm not sorry that you did. I'm glad it was you that got my attention. Just look at it as I need you to shoot me." Heero whispered lifting her chin with his hand and looking her in the eyes.
"Heero…" her confused face made him smirk.
"For the past three years I felt like I was in a trance that I couldn't pull out of. I've felt so lost. You saved me. I don't know how to think you. You saved me from myself. How could you be sorry for that? I felt like I was watching my life from out side of my body. You saved me from that."
"Heero…" Relena mumbled as he lend closer. Cupping her face with his hands, he gently pressed his lips to hers.
"Hey Heero, how are…" Duo called as he entered the room only to stop suddenly at the site of Heero pulling Relena closer to him as they kissed.
"Hot damn" Duo said a little too loudly. At the sound of Duo's voice Relena pulled away from Heero.
"Playing sucky faces already" Duo smirked
"Duo, you have till the count of three to get the hell out of here." Relena said as she calmly picked up Heero's gun that had been laid beside him while Sally had fixed up his arm.
"One" Heero said giving Duo his death glare over Relena's shoulder.
"Two" Relena said aiming the gun at Duo, who was staring Relena in shock.
"Three" they both said as Relena fired the gun hitting just over Duo's left shoulder causing him to jump and run from the room.
"Nice" Heero said wrapping one of his arms around Relena waist and draping the other over her shoulder.
"Not really, I was trying to hit his shoulder." Relena said causing him to laugh. Relena sighed as she leaned back in to him. Heero slowly turned Relena around and smiled.
"Now where were we?"
