Chapter Eight:

Heero closed his eyes as he let the cold metal touch against his flesh. He didn't even shiver. After putting a gun to his own head so many times he didn't care but he stopped when he heard loud footsteps that were fast paced. He had to do this quick before anyone stopped him.

He allowed himself to press the sharp knife against his flesh but then when he was about to slice his wrist, a familiar voice hit him. "HEERO!"

He turned his head and looked, slightly shocked at the girl rushing up to him before tackling him with smiles and tears onto the floor. "Heero!" she cried as she hugged him with happiness.

He looked at her and blinked, touching her cheek lightly as if to make sure she was real. He looked into her eyes and she into his. "Relena…" He whispered, shocked that she was alive. She survived the withdrawal symptoms and she was alive.

"Heero," Relena whispered as she pulled herself and him up to their feet's. "I'm so sorry that you had to—" she stopped and blinked when she felt him wipe away one of her tears. He placed a finger to her lips, silencing what she was about to say.

He smiled softly at her, not sure what was flooding through his body. He wasn't known for emotions. He couldn't deal with them or even knew how to decipher them.

Relena smiled and closed her eyes, expecting a kiss but only felt his finger being pulled away. "Relena," His voice almost sent shivers down her spine as she opened her eyes, slightly disappointed that he didn't kiss her.

"Heero?" She questioned again and saw his back away from her.

"I'm not really sure…" Heero began. He shook his head, getting rid of the nonsense he was about to say. "Never mind." He told her and turned around as he looked at her and saw disappointment in her cherubic features.

"Heero, please." She whispered as she stepped closer to him. She let her hand graze his cheek slightly and smiled, saying the words she had so long said to herself over and over again. "I love you." She whispered and she drew him into a hug, not wanting to push him into giving her a kiss and have the feelings not returned.

He looked down at her, slightly surprised that she hugged him. He didn't know what the feeling welling up inside of him was, but he knew it had to be something related to this "love" everyone told of. He bit his lip but decided with himself.

He drew her away and couldn't help but realize the hurt look in her eyes but he didn't care. He smiled slightly and she looked somewhat confused. He pulled her close and let their lips touch forming their very first kiss and the start of a bright future, hopefully.

TBC? Or the End?

Author's note:

Thank you everyone for the reviews that I got! (yeah! ) I might add a sequel or another chapter or two to finish off the Blood Doves and their plans, etc. or this might be the end. Very sappy, rhymes with crappy. Tell me if you liked it and please don't hurt me if you hated it. I have no romance in my life. That isn't my fault. Anyhow, thank you everyone once again for all the support! I feel so loved!

O.O I got caffeine in my system so I'm feeling somewhat better… Red Tail
