Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or its characters...unfortunately.

I needed to take a walk, you know, to blow off some steam. I had gotten into a really intense fight with Yuy, and I don't want to talk about it...alright I will!

I guess it started when we first...well I guess saying when we first became a couple.

Of coarse me being me, I fall head over heels for this guy, spandex pants and all. It was just the way he looked at me when we were alone together. I actually came to believe the he was actually in love with me. I am such an ignorant person for ever thinking that.

If Heero ever really loved me I wouldn't be out here on a cold night like this. No, if Heero really loved me, he would be holding me in his strong arms that I thought I could always rely on. I would always be warm and my heart would never have a reason to ache anymore...if Heero really loved me.

Alright where was I? Oh yeah, me falling for Yuy.

So everything was fine at first, we were happy (or so I thought). We were like your typical new couple, you know, always happy to be around one another and always looking forward to spending time together in such...blah...blah...blah.

But then I start to notice something.

Whenever he would show me any sort of affection what so ever, it was always when we were alone. He would never let me hold his hand whenever we went out in public, or even let me look him in the eye for that matter. I could understand that he doesn't feel comfortable showing his emotions in front of a bunch of strangers, but he took it too far.

Today we went over to visit our dear friends, Trowa and Quatre. Now those two have been inseparable since the end of the war, and I think what those two have for each other is genuine. They never hold back on their emotion, not even Trowa, who, during the war, always seemed so quiet and reserved. I thought that was what I had with Heero...boy was I wrong.

It was the four of us sitting around the living room of one of Quatre's mansions. Trowa moved over to sit closer to his lover Quatre, and the both of them looked as happy as ever. I noticed the large space in between Heero and I and sighed. Maybe what we had was not like the genuine love Trowa and Quatre had. As the evening wore on, Trowa and Quatre continued to snuggle, glance and kiss one another while Heero kept his distance from me. I was getting fed up with this game, so me being me, I try to motion over to Heero to give him a kiss on the cheek. I mean, its not like it's a big deal or anything, both of them knew we were together.

Big mistake.

While I was attempting to lean in, Heero shot up and asked for directions to the nearest restroom. I loose my balance and fall face first into the couch cushions, making a fool out of myself.

I try to regain my composer when I hear Heero say "Baka," as he leaves the room.

I cant believe he made me feel like a complete moron in front of our friends, and to insult me on top of it!

It was hard for me to stay just to endure Heero's rejection any further. So I got up, apologized to Quatre and Trowa for the scene I had caused and left.

Out of all honesty, I could feel the tears running down my cheeks as soon as I made it through the door. I started out in a run, trying to get as far as I could from the person who had hurt me so much.

I stopped when I couldn't recognize the area I was in. As I exhaled, I could see my breath rise up into the night and that's when I noticed how cold it was. I knew I should have at least taken a coat with me, I should have taken his coat with me. That would have made me feel better. I suppose his coat would have provided me with more warmth than he would anyway.

In the distance Icould make outsmall deserted park. My eyes caught on to an old swing set in the that only had one good seat left. I don't know what drove me to do it, but I made my way towards it and sat myself down. The metal chains were cold to the touch, but I wrapped my fingers around them anyway. I hung my head down low and began to drag my feet back and forth, allowing myself to get lost in a haze. Snow began to fall around me, but I didn't care anymore. What I thought could have been real love was nothing more than an ignorant dream.

I wasn't aware how long I was out there when I heard the rush of footsteps getting closer to me. I didn't even bother to lift my head to look until they stopped right in front of me.

I was shocked at what I saw. Heero was standing less than a foot away from me, accompanied by Quatre and Trowa who stood behind him. He gave me a stern look, like I did something wrong, and then...his expression softened as he began to speak.

"Someone once told me to follow my heart, so I arranged this visit at Quatre'swith Trowa."

As he said that both he and Trowa got down on one knee, Trowa was facing a rather shocked and happy Quatre and Heero was looking right up into my eyes. He withdrew a small box out of his pocket and showed me its contents.

I felt like such an idiot as he slid the ring on my finger, but I couldn't have been more relieved in my life. Trowa, Heero, and I stood up. Trowa was hugging a very excited Quatre, and Heero did something unexpected. He wiped the tears that I had forgotten about off my face and wrapped his warm arms around me, sheltering me from the cold. I knew from that point on, the love we had for each was not like the normal love two people feel for one another. No, it was far greater and more meaningful, it was genuine.

End.
