Chapter: The Challenge

Heero handed Relena the lash and his lowered eyes as he turned to leave.

Relena stepped forward, and reach out a hand to reach but held it back.

"Heero, wait." Her look in her eyes went from sad to sincere.

"Please don't go" He looked at her, and smirked.

"I'll stay if you really want me to?"

"I do" she said her eyes dropping the ground.

Both Relena and Heero sat on bench located near a frozen park. She held Gravy in her hands and Biscuit in his.

"Where have you been Heero?"

Heero did not answer.

"Okay then why are you here."

Again silence.

Relena placed Gravy on the ground and move to face Heero.

"Heero please talk to me. I was worried about you. And you obviously don't know how many sleepless night I have over you. I don't even know why I care so much but I do." She couldn't look at him anymore. She stood up, still facing him, with her bangs in her face covering her crystal blue eyes.

"Heero I care for a lot, since the day I meet you."

This, Heero knew. He'd known it a long time.

"Heero please" Tears were threatening to fall. Heero stood and grabbed Relena by the shoulders in a firm but sincere way, forcing her to look at him.

"Do you really want to know how I feel."

She nodded her head. He sighed.

"Relena I can't stop thinking about you. Everywhere I go you're on my mind. I can't sleep, can't eat, can't do anything without you, and that why I came back"

Relena went weak in the knees, but Heero held her up in his strong arms. She looked at him surprised. Never in a million years did she ever think she would hear him say that. To her aleast.

"Heero I don't know what to say." Heero smiled.

"You don't have to say anything, I already now how you feel". He pulled her close and kissed her gently. At first it came as a shock but Relena soon wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders, pulling him in for a deeper kiss. Neither of them had even noticed it had begun to snow again. Heero pulled away.

"You do know how much this is going to complicate things, right" He said in a steady voice.

"Well I always thought you liked a challenge."Relena stated. They both laughed. This was going to be very interesting.
