Tell her, by Gasha Aisu

Silently Heero grabbed his preventor jacked and went of to work. He didn't even flinch when the cold wind froze his cheeks and nipped at his clothers. For flinching wouldn't be calm and collected, and that Heero Yuy was. Heero was someone who could never be found smiling, someone who never made mistakes, and someone who could remain gracefull even if they lost. Heero didn't do things that would embarres him, he never drank more than he could handle, he never tripped. Unlike a certain fellow ex-pilot who called himself God of Death.

Heero still hadn't figuered out, how Duo could change from a kind, cheerfull baka, to a cold rutheless killing machine. But then again, so could the others. He entered the building and unlocked his office. Few greeted him, who got a nod in return, but most didn't even dare to look at him, they weren't even spared a glance. Yes, he unnerved people, something about him being a ex-pilot and his icy gaze. Only children weren't faced, Duo Maxwell was one of them. The baka would probebly be late...again. Heero didn't roll his eyes, although he had the urge to so. He knew he should 'losen up'as Duo would put it, but he couldn't. The only time he smiled, no smirk but a real smile, was with Relena.

And a scarry experiense for Heero. It had been just another day, when he had smiled for the first time, but somehow Relena convinced him to have lunch with her. She did that more often, as they we're considerd friends now. Really good friends, it still scared him now an then. Sure he had more friends, the fellow ex-gundam pilots we're like family to him. But none of them could make him feel the way he did with Relena. Like he didn't need to be so cold, like he could laugh to, like he could enjoy life. She could make him forget about the blood that stained his hands, ever since the age of eight. He didn't control his feelings with her, and it scared him. He could selfdestruct withoud a moment of thought, he could blow up mobible dolls, he could shoot anyone between the eyes with the skill of a true assasin. And yet, a girl to kind for this world could scare him. To say Heero was touchy about that subject was an understatement. He and Relena were just friends but anyone could say they had a...a...thing... a something that draw them to each other. Nobody dared to speak to Heero about Relena except if it involved her safety. Nobody except that baka, Duo Maxwell. And that unnerved Heero Yuy. Let's just say he wasn't in a good mood.

Silently he typed the hours away on his computer, completing some of his files. However Heero found that he couldn't get his thoughts of a certain blond angel, that had prenetated his sick mind ever since the war. With a grunt Heero got up and glanced at the clock. Lunch time already, and the baka wasn't here. Heero frowned. That minute the door bursted open.

"Sorry I'm late buddy, but Hilde and I finally got together"he explained. Duo's eyes sparkled and he was wearing a goofy grin. O yeah, they got together alright.

Heero just glared at Duo. "Don't let it happen again"he simply stated and made a move to go out of his office, but Duo's arm stopped him. The goofy expression was gone, and all the sudden Duo had a serious expression Heero and the other gundam pilots only got to see a few times. Heero crossed his arms, a sign that he was lisening, and waited for Duo to continue.

"I was scared to Heero, but you gotta make a move, the princess is obviously just as much in love with you as you are with her. Tell her buddy"Duo said, starting gentle knowing this was going to turn out into a heated argument.

Heero's glare turned into a scowl and made a move to go out the office again but Duo stepped to the side blocking his path.

"Let me through Maxwell"

"Not unless you promise me to tell her"

"I don't love her Duo"

"Yes you do and any fool can see it"

Heero simply looked at him, and glared when Duo met his stare. Heero didn't notice his nails digging into his palms. His eyes flashed in repressed fury. He was not going to make a fool out of himself. He would not allow Duo the satisfaction. However Duo was still blocking his path. Forget lunch, I'm going straight for the gym the minute that baka let's me through.

Heero crossed his arms, turning into complete perfect soldier again, complete in control of his emotions.

"What are you expecting Duo, me running of to the nearest flower shop to go and declare my undieying love for Relena?"he asked drily, raising one eye brow.

Duo remained unnerved, he could be scary at times.

"It would be a start"

Heero's glare returned at full power.

"Sorry to dissapoint you, now move"he hissed.

Duo crossed his arms, two could play that game. He had just tasted heaven and he wanted to share it with Heero. Heero wasn't the only one who could be stubborn.

"Make me"he replied, clearly chalaging him.

Heero wanted to hurt Duo at this point, but his ever lasting control wouldn't let him. He would not allow Duo to make a fool out of him! Afteral the baka didn't realise he left the door open... Heero didn't replie he just pushed him out of the way and again tried to get out of his own damm office. Only this time Duo stopped him with words.

"She cries"

Heero stopped, but didn't turn to face Duo.

"She cries every night, everyone knows. Her smiles are as fake as mine were..."

He glared at the audiance, who quickly pretended to 'work'.

"She's lonely... I can't stand seeing my friends like that!"

Duo didn't know, he wouldn't know. How could anybody understand him? Understand what it takes to become perfect? How sick you have to be to be a perfect soldier? He didn't pretend...he was.

"She's God damm lonely Heero, and here you are, doing nothin' about it!"

At this Heero spun around, still silent just glaring. They both ignored the curious looks from fellow preventors. The stood for a long time, just glaring at each other, before Heero opened his mouth;

"You don't know Duo.."

"No, you're right, I don't know what shit you've been through. But we all have a past Heero, maybe not as worse as yours but pretty damm close to it!"

Duo was trembling now, shaking with fury at the helplesness of it all. Why couldn't Heero understand? Why couldn't he understand what hell life was for Relena withoud him by her side? How lonely they both we're withoud each other.

"Maybe you're really a sick bastard like you say you are. Maybe you enjoy hurting her"Duo hissed, anger speaking for him.

That did it.

Somewhere Heero knew Duo didn't mean it, but dammit that bastard deserved it. His fist shot out, hitting Duo squarly by the jaw. Duo returned the favor after recovering from the blow. Before anyone coulnd blink the two ex-pilots we're beating the bottled up emotions out on each other. They fought unlike they would fight an enemy. They swung wildly hitting were ever they could reach.

A crowd soon filled Heero's doorway, but none dared to interfere. Seperating two killing machines was nothing but plain suicide. Finally a brave preventor dared to jump between them. Sally somehow managed to get a hold on Duo, and Heero stopped suddenly realising what he was doing by Sally's interferance.

"Dammit"he quetly swore, whiping the blood from his chin.

"You can let go now Sally"Duo told her, somewhat embarresed. Heero just glared at him.

Sally let go of him, not withoud hesetation though.

"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?"came a voice from behind the crowd.

Both gundam pilots gulped, and turn to face their biggest fear.

Lady Une.
