Chapter 2
Don't own Gundam Wing
Unknown to the crying girl a shadow in the garden below the balcony watched this heart-wrenching scene. This particular shadow was christened Heero. He had come in the middle of the night to her balcony with the simple wish to see her again. He decided that tonight he would make her wish come true. He had always been with her though she never knew it. He had watched the change in her. And he hated himself for causing this specific change to be his fault. She used to be so happy and her job wasn't really a job to her but now he noticed her becoming more and more detached every passing day.
All that had changed. She doesn't ever look happy anymore. Even when she smiled she still had sadness hidden behind it. Heero remembered when he came back and saw Releena. That was a year ago. He had left when he was 19 and had returned the next year. He was now 21, his sweet Relena being only one year younger than him. He couldn't talk to her or see her after he saw how much pain he had caused her. How much pain he would cause her...
He thought about this and so much more as he climbed up to her windowsill. But as he climbed through the window he thought about the good things that were yet to come. He was finally going to talk to his wonderful Relena once again. He saw her just then; she was lying down on the bed asleep. She looked so peaceful and angelic as he walked over to her.
He sat down on the edge of her bed and just watched her. She's so damn gorgeous I can't believe everything played out this way. He stayed there for numerate minutes before he decided it was time to wake her. He very gently laid his hand on her cheek. Her eyes fluttered but instead of awakening she moved closer to the touch. He then lowered his head until chiseled lips touched her soft mouth.
When he felt she was about to wake up he stood and took a few steps away. What will she think when she sees me here? Will she hate me? Maybe I should run? That thought was quickly put to an end as she promptly looked up and blinked before bursting into tears and trying hide her face in her hands. She had dreamed this so many times she could not allow herself to think that this time out of so many was reality.
That was the last straw. He couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't stand the pain he saw in her eyes as she looked upon his face knowing that he had put it there. He and Releena were meant to be together. They shouldn't be separated at all. He took her into his arms as tears fell down his face as well. He couldn't handle seeing the pain he had put her through.
Releena pulled back away from Heero and looked up into eyes that were undoubtedly gray. "Are you real?" She touched his face and cried out as her fingers met warm flesh. She lowered her hand until she could feel his heart beating beneath her hand.
Heero leaned down and brushed his lips against hers. "Yes, I'm real." He said and she threw herself in his arms and began crying all anew.
