Chapter 3
First day on the Job…
Heero, after getting his clothes and things oriented in his side of the room and the closet that he shared with Duo, made his way to Relena's office, where Relena's secretary, who he had met before let him in. The Interior of the office was neat, which was necessary because of the size of the room, the walls were pink and decorated with paintings and a rose motif wallpaper around the top of the walls. Relena had a giant of a desk and a leather chair to match, making the young woman seem even more diminutive behind the stacks of papers that covered the oak behemoth. Duo was already there, sitting on a corner of Relena's desk that was temporarily free of work.
Relena smiled at Heero as he came in and took his seat, "Hello, Heero, were you able to get your things set up as comfortably as possible?"
"Yeah." Then under his breath, "As comfortable as it's going to get when I'm in the same room as a dude who I think has a crush on me…"
Relena smiled sweetly, "That's good, now Duo's going to brief you on your responsibilities here at the Peacecraft Manor"
Heero nodded and looked at Duo. Duo held out the large three ring binder he was holding, "That is a list of all the security features of this building, and the information on them and the proper way to operate and maintain them. Your job as assistant head Bodyguard, under me, of course…" Duo had been cut off by the sound of one of the rings of the three ring binder In Heero's hand breaking.
Heero looked at Relena, "Duo…is going…to be…My…Boss?"
Relena nodded, looking a bit concerned at Heero's reaction to the news. Duo laughed, "Sorry buddy, you cant just show up and expect me to hand over my position, even with your reputation and…ahem…Dedication to the Subject."
Relena blushed profusely at this statement form Duo. Heero scowled at the stupid American and gave him a look that clearly told him to continue with the briefing…or else. Duo twitched, "Anyway, Your main job will be escorting Miss Darlian around on her different trips and helping me with the security systems and the team of preventer agents here at the mansion, their credentials are also in that binder…Any other work will be for Relena to decide, understand?"
Heero nodded, looking down at the broken binder with a rather puzzled look on his face. Duo stood up, "Well, since you two haven't seen each other in a while I'll leave you to catch up on things." He then pushed Chris out of the room with him.
Heero sat there staring at the binder while Relena was twiddling her thumbs. She was the first one to speak, "So uh…Duo tells me you were working on one of the mars colonies, how was your year there? You kinda…Disappeared after the Mareimaia thing. Couldn't you have at least said goodbye instead of leaving the hospital while I was asleep?"
Heero looked at her, she looked like she was about to cry, that had really hurt her? He was such an Idiot, "Relena, I didn't know what to do…I knew If I had stayed at the hospital you would have asked me to stay with you…I wasn't ready to be a normal Human…but I've adjusted to life as one and I'm ready now…so…I'm here to stay as long as you may need me."
Relena wiped her eyes and smiled at him, "I'm glad, Heero, really."
She stood up, walked around the table and sat in front of him, "Did you meet anyone in the colonies? Any special girl I might be jealous of for taking my Heero?"
Heero blinked, his face turning a bit pink around the cheeks, "N-no…I…No…"
Her Heero? This was new, not that he minded, "I wasn't really…looking…did you meet someone?"
Relena smiled sadly, "Yes, but Its been so long since I've seen him I don't know if the feelings I had for him are still the same as before."
Heero's blush intensified slightly, was she talking about…him? Relena sighed, "Oh well…So, Heero I do actually have a job for you and Duo…"
Heero nodded, glad that she had changed the subject, "Anything you need, Relena."
She smiled, "then I would like you two to escort me to the mall, I need some summer clothes."
Heero blinked at her, was this a joke. She returned his look with a smile, "well, lets get Duo."
No…It was not…A joke.
They pulled up the entrance ramp to the mall's parking lot, the pink limousine pulled up to the doors to the mall, turning heads as it came to a stop, and a elderly butler opened the doors to allow the vice foreign minister and two of her preventer bodyguards out. Pagan then returned to the Drivers seat and went off in search of a parking spot in which he could park the limo. Relena, Followed by a overly grumpy Heero, one because of his dislike of the color of Relena's Limo and two because he was at the mall with both Relena and Duo. He loved Relena, and knew he would take a bullet for her if ever the time came that he would have to but he wasn't sure if he was ready and able to brave the mentally trying exercise of "shopping" for her, Especially if he had to do it in the company of Maxwell.
Relena Led the Two gundam pilots into the mall, people pointing at her and whispering, "that's Queen Relena."
Heero put up his guard, looking around for anyone who looked dangerous or suspicious; he saw none that looked like they posed any great threat so he just looked around at all the variety of stores in the mall. Relena started heading towards one of the higher end women's clothes stores in the mall, the two pilots followed closely. Relena started looking around at clothes while Heero and Duo marveled at the prices of the things that adorned the shelves. Heero found it hard to believe that any woman in her right mind would pay fifty bucks for a small piece of fabric the store was trying to pass off as a skirt. He was proven wrong however when a slender woman came by moments later and picked up the skirt in question, carrying it off to the changing rooms.
Relena continued Looking around, picking out some clothes and when she had a sizable collection on her arm she signaled Heero that she was going to the Changing rooms, Duo had moved off to flirt with the girl with the skirt who had since come out of the changing rooms to purchase the skirt. Heero followed her back to the back of the store and stood outside. After a short period of time Relena peeked out of the changing room, "Heero? How do I look in this?"
Heero stepped into the changing room and his jaw dropped at what he saw; Relena was standing there wearing a white dress shirt and a tiny black miniskirt. Heero was not sure that she was wearing The dress shirt correctly, she had it tied together under her breasts and left open at the top, revealing, in his opinion, too much skin for her to be revealing, but damn, she was sexy. Heero's mouth seemed to have the same Idea and before Heero could stop the traitorous Orifice, it had spit out exactly what had been on his mind. Relena blinked at him blushing, "I-I am? Really?"
Heero blushed, "Yeah, I guess…That just…slipped out…"
Relena frowned, "Heero, am I Sexy or not?"
Heero looked at her, "Yeah, you are…"
"And if given the chance, what would you do to me if we were alone?"
Heero's face now resembled the approximate color of watermelon, "Relena, what are you talking about?"
Relena giggled, "I'm Just joking around Heero, Your cute when you blush, you know that."
Heero blinked, he had never been called cute before, here was another new thing to him.
"You know, Heero, your I think your sexy too, you should wear those spandex shorts and that tank top some."
Heero blushed again, "Relena…"
"Fine…Spoilsport, now get out of here so I can change and we can get out of here."
"Are you getting those?" he indicated the clothes she was currently wearing.
"Only if you want me to Heero" She grinned
"You're cruel…"
"I know"
So, Relena in less revealing clothes, the trio left the mall, spotting the pink limo easily among the other cars. Heero and Duo's arms fully laden with different bags from all over the mall, Relena hadn't meant leave the mall at the clothes store, she had meant just that particular establishment.
Heero: I think that one was longer, if not a bit fluffy…I DO-NOT Blush!
Squirrely: I can make you do what I damned please…its my Story, Yuy!
Kieanoe: ooh, look, pansy fight…how fun…
