Chapter 2
The next morning
Duo woke up first that morning. As he came down the stairs he smelled the smell of French toast. Thank god Quatre is so kind no one else around here would get up and cook. As he reached the foot of the stairs he was shocked to see Hilde cooking away. "Hay good morning Duo. I was wondering when you'd wake up. By the way calling this place a hide out for Relena Peacecraft is some peace you know how long it took me to find this place like to estimate I'd say about thirty seconds at the most. And the security at this place is pathetic just wondering do you even have any." "Hey nice to see you too is this for us." Said Duo sarcastically as he shoved a knife in the French toast. " It's hardly for you." "WHAT!" said Duo as he looked at how much food was on the table. "Girls breakfast is ready. By the way I invited some visitors. The girls are staying at the apartment next door." "Morning Duo," said Dorthy as she sat down to eat. "Oh hey Duo," mentioned Catherine as she sat down clad in jeans and a shirt that was black and had a huge kiss imprint on the front. "What the hell are you all doing here!" yelled duo. "SHHHHH your gonna wake every one besides we thought you all would be happy to see us again." Said Hilde "Well I am its just that you don't call and you just show up I mean how was I suppose to be prepared for this I mean the place is a mess." "Don't worry that's why we're here to help around the house," answered Dorthy "Really cause you can start by cooking me the breakfast I thought was mine." "Whoa! What is that great smell?" asked Quatre. He was greeted with four familiar female faces eating French toast. "Never mind," said Quatre as his eyes answered his own question. Trowa came in down the kitchen stairs too. He appeared in his panda bear pjs. Everyone stared at him as he yawned "What? What are you all staring at?" he asked as he realized the girls were there. "Well gee I don't know it's just how often do you see a guy with panda bear pjs," answered Hilde in a sarcastic tone. Everyone started laughing. "Quite," said Duo "you hear that." "Hear what," questioned Hilde "That's just it it's silent," replied Duo. "Your right," stated Trowa "Hmm I have a hunch." Duo said as he signaled for everyone to go up the stairs quietly. As they got to Relena's room they cracked the door open an inch. What they saw surprised even Duo who expected this. Heero was lying on Relena's bed with her sleeping head lying on his chest. While she laid against him he was laying his head back on a pillow. Duo slowly closed the door but as the door shut a chain reaction set off and Relena woke up. "Heero wake up." "What is it this time?" "Where you here all night." "Yeah why?" "Well I think someone opened my bedroom door and I'm sure whatever they saw didn't look good." "I got it, I'll take care of it." Heero got up and went down stairs "good morning Heero," said a Dorthy sounding voice. "Morning Dorthy," Heero said sleepily. With his eyes still shut he walked to the refrigerator as he opened it he quickly shut it as he just realized who he said morning to. "Dorthy what the Hell are you doing here." "Well isn't it obvious to you we came to pay a visit." "We?" Heero asked afraid to hear the answer. "Morning," replied Catherine "Have a good sleep" asked Hilde. "Speaking of sleeping I slept quite well with my teddy by my side. How about you Heero sleep with anyone lately." Said Duo sarcastically. "What the hells that suppose to mean," asked Heero in an angry tone as he pulled Duo by the collar and yelled in his face. "Nothing we just accidentally saw you sleeping with Relena." "What! First off nothing happened between me and Relena she had a bad dream so I went to comfort her. Soon she cried her self to sleep and that's when I put my head back on her pillow and drifted off. NOTHING HAPPENED OK!" yelled an angry and frustrated Heero. "Ok gee you don't have to get all emotional about it" replied Duo. Then Heero realized that was the first time in a long time I got emotional about anything.. Is Relena the cause of this emotion? "Good morning everyone" Relena said as she came down the stairs. Heero looked confused and out of focus for once he looked scared. He looked at his open palm and quivered with fear for he didn't know which why to turn. Relena looked up from the table to see Heero shake so she walked up to him, looked him in the eyes, and kissed his cheek. "You know just to let you know you are human like everyone else in this room Heero hiding your emotions will just continue to bring you down," said Relena with a smile as she walked away from him to eat. He then sat down to eat and greeted everyone with a smile. "So Hilde what have you been up to lately," questioned Heero. "Oh same old same old and nothing out of the ordinary," she replied with a sweet smile. Then Quatre asked a question of his own "Dorthy how are you managing these days," "I'm doing just fine thank you. The girls and I kind of hang out and tend to get along quite well. So we have bought a place at the apartment together and we are doing fine together." Trowa asked the next question "Catherine you used to love the circus. What made you become a city girl?" "Well you know it tends to take a lot out of a girl you know with traveling from city to city and colony to colony. It's just that once we arrived at our destination the whole traveling ordeal made me exhausted and then we had to set up the tent and then feed the animals go to bed and wake up to a crowd. Basically it became too much for a normal girl to handle." She answered as she cut a small piece of French toast. "So Relena how have you been fairing these days," asked a curious Catherine. "Nice of you to ask Catherine. Actually it's been quite well considering I'm living with four obnoxious boys." "Hey are you calling us obnoxious," Duo flashed back. "Isn't that what I just said but I assure you every girl in this room would defiantly agree with me am I right girls." Then the girls looked up nodded and laughed. "I don't get it," Duo said puzzled. Then Relena looked up and said "don't worry Duo only I and the girls know my little joke. Okay well I'm gonna clean up you all can go into the living room if you want." Everyone went out towards the living room but Heero stayed in the kitchen. "Hey Relena would you like some help." "That would be nice, thanks Heero," she replied as she washed the dishes in the sink. Heero came over and dried them with some paper towels. "Relena can I ask you something?" "Go ahead and ask me whatever you want." She said with a smile. "Thanks listen I know this might sound odd but when I was being trained as a pilot. They completely striped away my humanity I was told that feelings only get in the way of my missions and I'll never forget the first time I was told this but I was taught that since it was a war I was fighting that there's no big deal in sacrificing the general public and ever since then I have felt cold and emotionless. But when I saw you cry last night it reminded me that you can remain strong and still have emotions of your own. In fact despite all you went through as princess Relena and vice foreign minister Dorling. I have yet to have seen you shed more than just two tears since last night. Your so strong Relena and you remain to have feeling like any other person and I admire you for it." He replied as he looked at the floor. "Heero that's what I've been wanting you to say all this time. You have to understand that you are human just like any of us, and hiding your emotions just makes you stand out in the crowd more. You understand right?" she asked, he didn't answer he just looked down at the tiled floor. "Look don't be ashamed you are who you are but it just takes some people longer to figure out who they are but now I see you realize you are whom you choose to be right?" she asked as she cupped his chin and brought his head up. "Yeah but you know what?" "What?" "Right now I want to be yours," he said as he gave her a sweet kiss. Relena moaned deep with in her throat as Heero tilted her head and depend the kiss. She then opened her mouth allowing access and he dueled with her tongue. Heero soon let her lips go and they broke away breathless. But as Heero was catching his breath she quickly kissed him leaving him breathless again but that didn't stop him. They quickly regained their composure and went out to the living room what they saw was more strange than any thing OZ could throw at them. Duo and Hilde were making out on the recliner. Quatre and Dorthy were having a little lip lock of their own and let's not forget about Trowa and Catherine surely enough everyone was caught up in the moment. "Hey, having fun guys?" asked Heero with a mistevious voice. "We could ask you the same thing," replied Duo. "WHAT! Were you guys spying on us?" "Lets just say you two could open a kissing both together," answered Hilde as she laughed. "Hey you know what, it's not my place to judge what you guys do but it's also not your place to do so as well," Heero said firmly as he pulled Relena towards him. Everyone just stared at the fact that they were so close finally. "So are you two an item?" asked Quatre. "Well I don't know you can ask her about that," Heero answered as he looked down at Relena. "Well?" asked Dorthy. "If you want to put it that way yeah I guess we are. Are you all too Dorthy, Quatre, and Duo, Hilde, oh and lets not forget you two Trowa and Catherine?" "Well if you must know Catherine is like a sister to me and I think we are ready to cross that line of just being friends," explained Trowa. Then Duo stepped forward to explain his story. "Well I fell in love with Hilde since the first time I saw her but I decided to take it easy and play the helpful friend until I got up the courage to see if she liked me too and obviously by her reaction she does so we're happy." Then all eyes focused on the other couple. Dorthy stepped forward next. "To tell you the truth I had an interest in Quatre ever since he showed that he cared about me. You know when I had hurt him in Libra having no idea what I was doing, he still wanted me to make it out and live. Since that moment he seemed to be the only one who cared about me. Especially considering my family is gone and I put him and all of you through so much but I think he really can compare to my loss. Mostly because he told me so much about how he loved his father. Yet oddly enough what happened to his father happened to my family as well," finished Dorthy. "And you all picked now to get together. So what are Relena and me your idols now," said Heero practically yelling. "Calm down Heero it's better now than never as I always say." "Your right well everyone how about we go out for a while. Does the mall sound good to you all?" everyone answered back with a hollering "YEAH"
