I don't own Gundam Wing or any of its characters, I just like to have fun with them. Oh and this is my first fic, so I apologize beforehand if it sucks.

Chapter 4

She was being watched. She could feel it.

She knew it the moment her feet had touched the landing.

She could feel the person's eyes on her. This only managed to unnerve her even more. To know that the person was already aware of her presence and position and that she didn't had the slightest clue of the intruder's hiding place. This scared her out of her mind.

The only hint of assurance she had rested heavily in her right hand. This was going to be ugly.

Suddenly, the feeling of being watched intensified; making the little hairs in the back of her head rise, and the adrenaline pumping through her veins had her ready to jump and attack at the slightest noise or movement.

She wouldn't go down without a fight.

It was with this new determination that she controlled her fear (well, sort of) and started looking at her surroundings in search of her intruder.

Her eyes straying to a curious group of shadows, it was there that she discovered a pair of eyes looking intensively at her.

In a second, all the courage that she had managed to muster went down the drain; the adrenaline increased ten-fold, but she found she couldn't get herself to move.

The gun, her only protection, remained forgotten on her hand. She couldn't take her eyes out of the person's heavy gaze. It was as if she was glued to the floor. Mesmerized with his gaze.

Those deep, Prussian blue eyes looki—

Wait a minute, her mind was trying to tell her something.

Prussian blue eyes? Mesmerizing gaze? Shadows?

Could it be? Could it really be?

"Relena…" a deep, monotonous voice resonated throughout her living room.

It only confirmed her suspicions.

"He-Heero?" she managed to said (or more like stuttered). Then with a little more confidence, "Heero, is that you?"

"Hn"

Any doubts disappeared with that.

Heero saw Relena let out the breath she had been holding and she visibly relaxed, the fear that had been nagging at her quickly disappearing. He felt a little guilty for scaring her, but only a little. It couldn't have been helped anyway.

Now that his presence had been revealed he detached himself from the shadows and stepped into the silver moon light that entered through the many windows.

Once again, Relena found herself holding her breath. But for entirely different reasons.

If she had thought Heero Yuy couldn't get more handsome, boy was she in for a surprise!

The distinctive roundness of boyhood had left his face, making it longer, harder and more defined. He also looked more…manly. His distinctive features were still there of course, the most impressive being his Prussian blue eyes, which were partially covered by his unruly dark brown hair, giving him an air of mystery and darkness. He had always had that dark, mysterious thing going on.

Growth hadn't only occurred on his face though. He was tall, really tall now. He was at least a head taller than her, and she wasn't so small herself. His shoulders had broadened out and from the glimpses she could get from his shirt she could tell his muscles were more defined now (if that was possible).

She felt her throat go dry. God help her.

She reminded herself to look somewhere else before she started gawking; bravely she looked towards Heero once more and was relieved to notice that he hadn't been paying attention to her…um, distraction.

She followed his gaze towards her own right hand; where the gun still rested.

She let out a soft, startled gasp. She had completely forgotten about the gun.

She looked at Heero again, trying to come up with an explanation about why there was a gun in her possession.

It was then that she noticed a small dark shadow forming on the floor at Heero's feet.

Brows furrowing, she wondered how had a poodle of water gotten into her living room. A sudden dripping made her look up towards the poodle's origins.

Heero was completely soaked.

His hair (still unruly as ever) was continuously dripping water, and she wondered how had she not seen him before, what with the noise (even if it was barely audible) the dripping caused.

His dark trench glimmered with the dew it had caught from the rain and his blue shirt was plastered to his skin; this (oh lord) caused his muscles to stand out even more.

That, however, was set aside as Relena's caring nature took control.

"Heero!" she gasped. He looked at her in question. Then she completed "You-you're soaked!"

Heero opened his mouth to reply to that when suddenly Relena took hold of his hand, dropped the gun on the floor (which miraculously didn't activate itself) and dashed towards the stairs. Stunned by her bold move, he didn't even have time to focus on the fact that she was holding his hand. Well, not much.

Bolting up the stairs with speed Heero didn't even know she possessed, it was just a matter of seconds before she turned left into a room, taking Heero with her the whole way.

She slowed down when they reached the center of the room, and then just as quickly let go of his hand and went through an adjacent door.

Confused with the turn of events, he took Relena's absence as an opportunity to look at his surroundings.

It was a big room, and it didn't take to be a genius to understand that this was the house's master bedroom, in other words Relena's room. There was a big canopy bed next to the south wall, a maple-wood desk, some drawers, and a pair of love-seats. And though it was dark, he thought the carpet to be a wine-reddish color, and the bed's covers were a light, cream color. An object on top of her comforter caught his eye. A teddy bear. The bear he had given Relena on her birthday two years ago.

So…she had kept it.

A once-in-a-lifetime-event occurred as a soft smile appeared on his lips, but it only lasted a few seconds.

He wondered just what exactly he was doing inside Relena's bedroom, unsupervised, when the aforementioned hostess came through the door (which he thought to be the bathroom) she had first entered.

He barely had time to notice she was carrying something in her hands before complete darkness clouded his eyes; a soft cotton-like material was hauled up in his head, and he started feeling quick massage-like moves on his scalp.

With experienced hands (after all she did have really long hair) Relena began drying Heero's wet head, praying he hadn't noticed she had taken an awfully long time just for getting a towel; it would be embarrassing if Heero learned she had had to search through her entire towel basket in order to find a towel that wasn't either pink, peach or lilac. Finally she had found and old, dark green towel. Thank God Duo came to visit often.

"God Heero, what were you thinking!" she asked with a frustrated voice.

"Just how much time did you spend in the rain?"

"Hn, about 3 hours" he deadpanned, his voice a little muffled by the towel.

Relena's mouth formed a perfect o shape, "Heero, are you crazy or what? You could've gotten sick!"

Heero grinned a little at Relena's characteristic concern. She had always been such a caring person.

"I don't get sick" he said with a monotone.

The towel off his head, he watched in amusement as Relena rolled her eyes and sighed. She was going to have none of it.

Five minutes later Heero wondered just how he had managed to let Relena push him into taking a hot shower.

Oh yeah, she has a weird control over me, almost forgot, he thought with bitterness. Abruptly, Relena's image appeared in his mind, taunting him, reminding him that she was out there, a few steps from him, out the door.

Knowing what would happen if he kept having this kind of thoughts he quickly turned the knob all the way from hot to cold.

Hot water wasn't good for him anyway, it gave him dandruff.

Yeah right.

AN: Ok everyone this was chapter four. I tried to make it a bit longer than the others, but I'm not sure if I succeeded. I'm very very pleased with the reviews I've recieved so far.
