"Don't worry Relena," The voice sounded choked and somewhat like Duo. His voice lacked its normal cheery tone. "He'll be fine."
The sound of a door closing was heard, leaving Heero alone with the person he assumed to be Relena.
"This is all my fault, I'm so sorry." She whispered, cheek rubbing against his hand. "We never did get one last dance." She said, referring to back during the war when their dance was interrupted. She always asked for another one.
A hand tightened around his and suddenly everything went black again as he fell further into the darkness robbing him of consciousness.

"Heero…" Relena mumbled, holding onto his hand lightly. The bullet hit him hard and the ambulance had taken so long. When Duo called, she rushed over as soon as she could when she heard about Heero. And his condition.
She had felt him stir slightly, his fingers twitching in her relaxed grip and she had hoped. Until he stopped moving again, falling deeper into his unconsciousness than the time before. She was worried.
Everyone was, Une, Duo, Wufei. They had captured all of the rebellious members of the Tresser family and also learned of how Heero was willing to give up everything that he worked so hard to gain. Everything for them that is.
"Please wake up Heero, I know you can pull through with this."
"…Re…Lena." Relena's head shot up and she felt happy tears well in her eyes as she let groggy, half-lidded prussian blue eyes.
"Heero!" She cried, standing up from her chair as she gripped his hand. "You're awake!"
He looked at her with a slight smile on his face. He pulled himself up, despite Relena's protests and rolled his shoulders a bit. He turned to her and pulled the IV line out of his arm and got to his feet, black jeans still on and the shirt removed from his chest. White guaze wrapped aroun his toso, hiding the bullet wound that was almost healed. And almost cost him his life.
He extended his hand to her and she looked at it and them up to his face. "Would you like to dance?"
