The Magnetic Fields- 69 Love Songs (vols. 1,2, and 3)
Hi minna! I'm so sorry this took so long to get out to you, things have been very stressful lately and I haven't been able to find the time to write. I haven't been feeling very well this past six months, so I spent almost two weeks in Cleveland, Ohio at the Cleveland Clinic to try and find out what's going on. But do not fear, I'm not deathly ill, but I do have a pain syndrome (yuck!). So now I'm trying to catch up on the two weeks of school i missed and am buried under schoolwork (yuck!).
Here are 'teh' shout outs:
DogDemonK9: i dunno, it might depend if they were in spacae or not. if they were, it would be like the 5,000 mile club, lol!

KageOkami-Kogo: just you wait, there will definately be some 1xR lime and a happy ending, of course. i love angst, as long as there's a happy ending:-)Niebezpiczny Ksiezyc: (i hope i got that right) i'm glad you like the ending of chapter 9, i try to make the cliffies amusing:-)

glittering-paws: ack! not the water baloons! heehee, are they the ones with the really cold water? i think Relena's character gets shortchanged a lot. she's a badass! like in the episode that she shoots the rose off of Colnel Une's uniform. she wasn't trying to kill her, she was aiming for that stupid rose, lol. :-)
Dark-Light39: heehee . it's going to be fun to watch him squirm, bwa ha ha haa!

as you well know, Gundam Wing doesn't belong to me (neither does Heero...:-( but the plot does, so don't steal it. if you do, i'll track you down and throw water balloons at you. ones filled with really really cold water, yeah.
i really hope you enjoy this chapter, bon appetit mes amis!
I didn't think that the day could get any worse, but I was wrong. Here I was, wrapped in the arms of the man I fantasized far too much about and bleeding all over his crisp (Sexy!) Preventers uniform.
"Relena, who did this to you?" His voice was firm and controlled, all earlier traces of softness gone. I was lost for words and there was no way in hell that I was going to tell him the truth. He wouldn't believe me anyway. Who would believe the President of the ESUN tripped on her bathmat while drunk and smashed her face on a toilet seat? I'll tell you who, the tabloids. I didn't even want to imagine the shit storm that information would cause, if the article in today's paper was any indication.
"Uub...well..." I trailed off, trying to think of a lie that wouldn't seem too obvious. Besides, the real reason for the injury was so off-the-wall that everyone would think I was trying to cover for an abusive lover. Lover, yeah right, I thought darkly.
Luckily, I was saved by a very irate Milliardo. He burst into my office like a bull in a china shop.
"Yuy! What the fuck did you do to my sister!"
Milliardo's husky voice echoed through the hallway as he stood in the doorway taking in the scene before him. I'm sure it looked very suspicious, but then, if it involved me my brother was always suspicious. It's not that he didn't care about my welfare; it's just that he cared a little too much.
"Zechs," Heero greeted the older man with an almost imperceptible nod, his eyes as cool as ever. I looked up at Heero; he was tense like a coiled panther, ready to attack at a moment's notice. Of course, none of this tension showed in his eyes or face, but I felt the tightening of the muscles in his arms. For a brief moment, I closed my eyes and savored the feeling of him. He smelled of spicy aftershave, blended with a darker scent-the scent of Heero Yuy.
"Yuy, what's the meaning of this! Why are you...touching my sister, and why is she bleeding!" He strode angrily over to Heero and I, his icy blue eyes boring into Heero's skull. The former pilot of the Tallgeese was white as a sheet except for a blazing patch of red on each of his cheeks. He fairly shook with contained wrath.
Heero merely replied with his patented Death Glare, which incensed my brother even more. They looked like they wanted to kill each other, to be perfectly obvious. In short, they looked ridiculous. I knew I had to do something to defuse such a volatile situation.
"I'b okgay, Billiardo. I got smagked id 'da face wit' da door. Heero things by dose is broken," I said sweetly, pointing a finger at my office door and making a face for effect. The two men barely acknowledged me, adrift in a sea of testosterone. It was a battle of wills, each vying for superiority. I had never understood their feud; to me it seemed petty and spiteful.
I had had enough, and even the surreal feeling of Heero's strong arms around me began to fade into the blaze of red fury that blanketed my vision.
"Goddammit, would you two stop agting like childrend and help be up!" I pushed away from Heero, though I dreaded the loss of his warmth. My head spun as I tried to stand and the two most important men in my life rushed to aid me. In their hurry, they both forgot the other and collided in a most spectacular manner.
They landed in a disgraceful heap, arms and legs sticking out at awkward angles. Milliardo had landed on his side, his silvery blond hair spread around him like some clumsy halo. Heero's arm had somehow sandwiched itself between my brother's back and the floor, twisted in a highly uncomfortable manner. The rest of his body was trapped under the older man's legs.
I absolutely lost it. I began to laugh, full on guffaws and giggles flew from my mouth before I had a chance to stop them. It was just so absurd, ESUN President covered in blood cackling at two of the world's most deadly men as they lay uncomfortably on the floor.
"Bary Aaaad! Get 'da cabera you keep id your desk! You hab got to see this!" I called to the young woman, who rushed into my office with the camera. The men had started to untangle themselves, but were blinded by the rapid fire of the camera flash and fell back into a heap.
It was then that Dr Sally Po-Chang arrived. She stood frozen in the doorway, her pale blue eyes surveying the scene. After a moment the young doctor sprang into action.
"What the HELL is going on here!" She bellowed, and my near-hysterical laughter ceased immediately. I made my way across the room and sat down at my desk, vainly trying to look dignified.
"It was awful, Dr. Po-Chang! I rushed into Ms. Relena's office and the door smacked her! It's all my fault, really!" Marianne rushed forward, grasping Dr. Po's arm and leading her towards me. Then she practically flew from the office, muttering something about canceling the rest of the day's appointments.
Sally Po glanced at the pile of men in the middle of the carpet, her eyes sparkling with concealed mirth. She leaned forward to whisper conspiratorially into my ear.
"You'll tell me everything, right Relena?" She chuckled as she opened her emergency case, her lips twisting into a barely controlled smile.
"Ob course, Sally! We god pictures!" I whispered back, attempting to retain my cool expression.
Sally began her examination and I looked past her shoulder to watch Heero and Milliard extricate themselves from their awkward pile of limbs. Each glowering balefully at the other and my brother muttered curses at Heero.
Fathomless blue eyes locked onto mine, and I was unable to control the blush that warmed my cheeks. Even with his stained uniform at mussed hair he looked beautiful. But then, he had always looked that way to me, even bruised and filthy after the Marimeia incident. No matter what the situation, he had always had an ethereal quality.
Suddenly, he frowned as his tracked down the front of the desk and stopped abruptly. Anger flashed across his smooth face, and I wondered why. And then it hit me...Shit! The whisky bottle! I'm dead. Dead dead dead!
"Ow!" I was brought out of my reverie by intense pain as Sally's probing fingers explored my damaged face. I knew she was trying to be gentle, but holy shit it hurt. Tears began to fill my eyes as she gently explored the bruise on my cheekbone.
"Sorry Relena, but I think your nose may be broken; but we'll have to do some x-rays to be sure." Sally said gently, as she began to pack her case.
"Heero, would you help Relena to her car? I don't think she should be driving right now."
"Of course," he spoke quietly, gently grasping my arm and helping me off the desk. "Do you have something you want to talk about, Relena?"
"I dun' know what you're takig aboud, Heero," I replied, wincing as my vision clouded and dizziness threatened to overwhelm me. It passed quickly and we began to walk carefully across my office.
"I don't know, that bottle of whisky under your desk?"
Oh shit...
Uh oh! Relena's in trouble! Sorry no Duo in drag just yet, I tweaked the plot a little. But do not fear! Duo in drag will appear in the next couple chapters.
please review, your reviews bring joy and cookies into the lives of thousands of children every year. :-)
