Relena
Part Five - A Spoon Full Of Sugar
Relena loved spring, It was bright and fresh and she got to get out of the heavy winter clothing into cooler, sweeter cotton dresses. Spring was the perfect season to have fun and laugh.
It certainly was not the season to get sick in and be tucked up in bed with a cold. It just wasn't!
She could have been having a picnic, maybe with raspberry jam sandwiches and with icy lemonade. She could have been swimming, long slow strokes down the centre of her pool. She could be playing with the Chang children, getting dirty like she was never allowed when she was a child, through when the children were scolded, their father had a light of amusement in his eyes.
Instead she was slurping down lukewarm chicken soup and a strange tasting peppermint tea. There were at least twenty blankets on top of her and she certainly didn't feel like a princess sweltering under them.
She glared at the soup and poked at it. She was sure it tried to suck her finger into it, she was just sure. Therefore she couldn't eat something that tried to suck her finger into it's abyss? If she did, what was the world coming to? She was a high profile person, she had to set standards! She was -
"Eat your soup Relena, otherwise it's going to get cold. It tastes better warm." Heero murmured, beside her bed. Relena pouted. Heero frowned. "Eat it."
"Fiiiine," she whined, sticking out her bottom lip.
He smiled.
"But only if you feed it to me, Heero." Relena smiled impishly as Heero facefaulted. Ha! Relena smirked, she always got her way one way or the other.
