Ch. 10 – Why Don't You Worry?

"I can't have the day off, Heero, I just can't." Relena screamed, shuffling through her clothes trying to find something professional, conservative, and just perfect for the day.

"My hour and a half isn't up yet!" Heero grabbed her wrist and smiled.

She sighed and smiled a little. She looked tired, defeated. "That was before Milliardo…"

"Your very own brother said you could have the day off. He's arranging everything."

"I missed yesterday, I missed an entire week two weeks ago, I can't miss today! I can't! I can't! I can't!"

"You can, and you're going to…" Heero scooped her up in his arms and laid her down on the bed. "You're not moving from RIGHT HERE."

"Heero…"

"Right…here…"

"What if I get hungry?" She grinned.

"I'll bring you something."

"What if someone comes?"

"I'll chase them away."

"Heero!"

"You need to rest and relax and get whatever is bothering you out of your system, and let us handle everything else."

"But what if-"

Heero put his hand over her mouth. "No more 'what ifs.' Be quiet, close your eyes, and rest."

"All right," she finally agreed and laid her head down on her pale blue pillow.

Heero pulled the covers over her and leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight."

--------------------------

"Mrs. Yuy, your brother is here to see you," the receptionist buzzed back to her office.

"Thank you, let him in." Relena now seemed to be getting back on her feet. Her office hours had been shortened, and she seemed to adjust well to the new schedule over the past week. It suited her much better. A little more time at home, with Heero. Everything seemed to be falling back into place. – But why do I keep feeling like this? –

"How are you today?" Milliardo smiled, taking a seat. – She still looks tired… -

"I'm perfect. Thank you for all you've done."

"Oh, I've hardly done anything for you."

"Nonsense, Milli! You've been working so hard to get my image back…"

- Does she have tears in her eyes? -

"…that I ruined…"

"Relena, just stop. You didn't do anything."

"Yes, yes, I did! I did everything! I messed up my entire life. I disappointed you. I disappointed the public. I disappointed myself!"

"Relena, don't do this. You're working yourself up again."

"I know. I know I am! And I hate it!" A teardrop spilled down her cheek. "I'm so sorry. You have no idea how sorry I am."

"Don't be sorry. There's no reason to be sorry. It's over, my dear." Milliardo came around the desk and hugged his little sister as hard as he could.

- Oww.. – "Thanks, Milli. I'm being silly, again."

"You're not silly, you just….still look tired…"

"I am a little, and I have this headache-" She stopped herself. "You don't need to know my problems. I'm fine. I'll be just fine." – I hope… -

"Maybe you should see a doctor. I mean, this has been going on for some time now.."

"It's just stress, I believe. However, I have an appointment." She smoothed out her dress. "Don't you dare worry about me, Milliardo. I mean it."

"How can I not worry about my baby sister?"

"Truly, I know I'm fine. Except this proposal I have due tomorrow." She smiled.

"All right, fine then. I'll leave you to your work. I love you." He kissed the top of her head.

"And I love you. I'll walk you out."

"Not necessary."

"Yes necessary." She linked arms with her brother, and together they walked out of her office. Heero shot her a sideward glance as the two strolled out, but she ignored him and made sure Milliardo made it safely back to the elevator. Then, after a wave and the closing of the elevator doors, Relena made her way back to her solitude and stack of papers.

"You don't have any doctors appointment written down in the schedule book." Heero commented as she walked past him.

'That's because I'm going on my lunch break tomorrow."

"Why didn't you tell me?" He whispered, clutching her arm, so she'd stop and talk to him.

"I didn't find any need to alarm you."

"You didn't think I'd know?"

"You didn't know till now." She snatched her arm from him and closed the door behind her.

- What has gotten into you, Relena? –

An: So…? Sorry, it was short, I know, but I hated the make another time break.
