Get Rel
NOTE: I don't own Gundam Wing or its characters.
THIS QUESTION IS FOR THE REVIEWERS WHO HAVE NOT GIVEN ME AN ANSWER. SO, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REPLY IF YOU HAVE GIVEN ME AN ANSWER.
Do you guys think I should do both fics from Relena's point of view? As in write two fics that follow parallel with 'For Rel' and 'Get Rel' but from Lena's POV. It's just an idea that struck me one day while I was weeding and I'm asking you guys if anyone would read them if I did Relena's point of view for both fics. Or is doing Relena's POV too much and I should stop with this fic? I need feedback on this, so please, all opinions are welcomed!
Duo could say one thing that he had learn from this little-oh what would one call it?-'mission' and that was to hate the weekends. It was Saturday and it was the 'sleepover day'. He shuddered at the thought.
Wouldn't they think that they're just a wee bit too old for sleepover? Duo thought as he entered the Collins' house. That's right, the sleepover was over at Jason's house this weekend and Bobby had dragged 'Selfie' along.
All I've got to say is that Relena has some interesting taste in friends if these are the sort of people she considers to be her friends, 'Selfie' commented while sitting down on the couch beside 'Mindy', waiting for the movie to start.
"What are we watching?" Hilde whispered in Duo's ear.
"Some movie called…" the God of Death had to pause as he searched his memory for the title of the movie. He knew that Joey had announced what it was but he just couldn't quite remember the name. "Uh…um…I don't remember."
Joey sat down on the floor in front of her brother, who sat beside Hilde. There was such excitement and eagerness in her eyes that Duo almost compared her to an eight year old sitting in front of the T.V. watching early morning cartoons. Joey sat cross-legged with her elbows propped on her knees and her face resting on her fists as she watched the previews; of course she had unconsciously opened her mouth and was gapping at the screen.
"Salem, what is this movie that we are watching?" Hilde inquired to the brother.
"It's called 'An Assembly Such as This', it's the first part of this 'Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman' trilogy of movies and books. Unfortunately my sister has this fetish for Jane Austen and she is completely…how should I put this?-obsessed with Pride and Prejudice, claiming that it's the best romance ever written," Salem replied.
"It is the best romance ever written," corrected Joey.
Duo could just imagine Joey being a cat and her tail swishing back and forth in her eagerness.
"Please tell me that this is not going to be some sappy romance," groaned Duo as he rested his head on the back of the couch and stared up at the ceiling.
"Nah, it's a comedy romance basically but the second movie is excellent with the mystery, adventure-ish plot line. Unfortunately, we have to watch the first movie before going onto the second movie," Salem assured as he began to look around the room. "Hey Jason, where's your guest?"
Jason looked up from her place on the floor and looked about the room to find that Eiji was once again not present after she had spent the entire afternoon trying to get him to promise to watch the movie with them.
"That damn boy," she growled, getting to her feet and stepping between the masses of bodies that littered the floor of her living room. "Excuse me, pardon me."
"Hey! Ow!" cried out some of the guests as Jason stepped over or on them. "Down in front!"
Once out of the living room and squeezing past the couple of college kids that crowded around the doorway, Jason stumbled up the stairs to the second floor.
"That boy better be sick, sleeping, or dying when I find him," she muttered under her breath, opening the door and marching up the stairs to the attic. "Eiji-! Oh…"
'Eiji' was there alright, and he was perfectly fine, as he quickly hid something under his mattress before turning to face Jason. Despite having been living in the same house as him, Jason had never truly gotten to see the boy in a vulnerable state of being like how he looked then.
"Eiji, are you okay?" Jason questioned as she approached him and sat at the end of the bed. Since there was no electricity in the attic the only sources of light given to Jason were the single candle and moon, so 'Eiji's' facial features were hidden fairly well.
He hadn't answered her question so Jason assumed that something was wrong.
"Eiji…" she began leaning forward to try to catch his eyes. "Eiji, it's me, Jason." People may have thought that Jason having to tell 'Eiji' who she was might be weird, she had only done it because she didn't want him thinking she was someone like that mystery girl that she had heard so much about through Joey who had heard it from Jackson who had heard it all from Robin.
As mentioned before, nothing was sacred in this community.
Heero knew who was on the bed with him. Or do you? a sudden thought struck him.
It was one of those rare moments as Heero bit his lower lip to ponder on this woman that sitting in front of him. She held that concerned look in her eyes that Heero had seen so many times in the eyes of Relena, that look irked him to no ends. Why should anyone be worried about him, he was the Perfect Soldier?
"I'm fine Jason," he lied. How was he fine when he had just been staring at several pictures that he taken from that box of treasures? Of course he wasn't supposed to remove them for they were 'evidence' but he felt that the evidence room wasn't going to be any more empty without the pictures.
"Liar," accused Jason, scotching toward the male. "Come on, you can talk to me, I promise not to tell anyone."
In return, Heero gave her a raised eyebrow to tell her of his doubts.
With a sigh and the roll of her eyes, Jason raised her hand and made the girls' scout sign. "Girls' scout honor, I won't tell anyone else and everything said in here will remain in here. Nothing leaves this room," she promised but there was still doubt in Heero's eyes.
"You were a girl scout?" he inquired.
Jason made an offended sound but said, "Only for one year, the other girls weren't exactly friendly to me."
Knowing that Jason would not stop until Heero told her something he just shrugged. "I'm just having trouble with my British class," he offered but it was a complete lie, he was doing perfectly fine in Zeches' class.
"Oh…" She sounded disappointed as she looked down at the bedding. "That's all, and here I thought that just maybe you had been thinking about the girl that got away."
The mask of indifference had remained on Heero's face but he knew that his eyes gave him away, as always, for Jason's own eyes widen with anticipation. That anticipation was even more emphasized by Jason pulling her legs onto the bed and crossing them.
"Spill, tell me what's on your mind and perhaps I can help you sort it all out," she stated, propping her elbows on her knees and face on her hands.
Heero didn't bother to stifle a groan. "Where to begin?" he muttered, running a hand through his hair.
"Well, let's start with how you feel about this girl?" suggested Jason.
That was not exactly what Heero meant but she was obviously fishing for answers as to what his feelings were towards Relena. There was one major problem with that question though, how was he supposed to answer it if he didn't know?
"I just feel protective over her as I had already told Robin and you may already know that," he replied firmly.
Seeing that 'Eiji' didn't have any focused direction to analyze his emotions, Jason took it upon herself to direct him. "Do like to be with her, whether it be talking or just being in her presence?" she inquired.
The present tense was not lost upon Heero, in fact it actually caused Heero to once again wonder if perhaps he was living in the same house as Relena and he didn't know it. If he was then his dilemma was how to know for certain without directly asking and giving himself completely away, especially should Jason happen not to be Relena?
What is something very distinct about Relena that she would never know? Heero wondered, pretending to be thinking about the answer to the question. Come on Yuy, you have only protected the girl in the shadows and out in the open for the last two and a half years, surely there has been habits you have noticed.
"Eiji?" Jason interrupted, poking him in the shoulder until he threw her a little glare of annoyance. "If you really have to think on it then that's just sad, I would have thought it to be a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer."
"Her presence was never not wanted," he told her.
Jason sat back for a moment, Never not? Okay…two negatives equal a positive, right? So that means that her presence was wanted. The dude just had to put it in such a way to make me think, didn't he?
"Okay, did you ever hang out with her at all?" she inquired but seeing Heero's eyebrow rise in question she elaborated. "Did you ever take her to the movies, out to dinner, go out dancing, or go see a play together? Or anything of the such?"
How was Heero supposed to answer this one? He hadn't taken Relena to anything because he was not the driver, but he did go to dinners and theaters with her, plus he did dance with her at certain fundraisers or charities. So, did Heero 'hang out' with Relena? Yes and no.
"Sort of," he responded in a voice of uncertainty.
"Sort of? How do you 'sort of' hang out?" Jason laughed. "Come on, did you ever dance with her?"
"Yes."
"Go to the movies with her?"
"No, that was always another friend of hers," Heero replied knowing full well that Hilde or Duo had been the ones to go to the movies with Relena, when she was the Vice Foreign Minister.
"Oh. Well then how about to dinner? Did you ever take her out to dinner?" Jason continued.
"You know what; I think we have best get downstairs. Don't think that I don't know that you came up here to drag me down to watch whatever movie was brought over today," Heero stated, he needed to buy himself sometime to do more thinking and the movie just might give him that time.
Jason pouted, pushing her lower lip out further than she needed to. "Aw. Well tell me this much at least Eiji, do you wish that you had gone after her rather than letting her get away?"
Heero was silent for a moment but not because he was thinking rather just to assess Jason. "Yes."
