Relena had been at Sanc High two weeks now. She was catching up with work nicely and making new friends each day. But of course no one could beat those five boys she met on her first day. She grew closer to each of them every day; she liked Heero, Duo and Trowa the most. Heero was something special though, as she was getting ready for school she started to stumble upon the idea she was starting to like him. She looked in the mirror; she had her denim skirt on and a baggy top that hung off her left shoulder exposing her sexy lingerie she had on. A pair of casual conversers and she was ready for school. She held her English books close to her and smiled to herself. Today was her favourite day; first she had English with Heero, then Design with Duo, which was always entertaining. He would always make her laugh or hurt himself somehow! Which made her laugh all over again. Then she had a free period, which was great because so did everyone else, then music at the end of the day with Trowa. And because she hadn't had art she would go at the end of the day in her own time. She walked through the gates to find Heero waiting for her under the tree, asleep. He wasn't a morning person at all, Relena smiled and approached him. As she got nearer he awoke and stood for her.

"Relena." He said.

"Heero." This was their normal greeting. Heero wasn't the hugging type like Duo or Trowa but he showed he cared in his own way. Like how he walked her to almost every lesson he could without being late. And waiting for her on a morning and walking part of the way home with her. They spent a lot of time together and she enjoyed it. As they walked into English and took their seats, class began. When independent study started Heero shoved a note towards Relena, it read;

I like that outfit your wearing. It suits you.

Why don't you have any socks on?

H.

Relena bit her lip as she replied, keeping an eye on the teacher as not to get caught.

I don't like wearing socks; it makes my feet feel claustrophobic. Lol.

Thank you very much for your compliment.

I'll wear it more often :)

Relena.

Heero grinned as her read the note and shook his head in amusement. He replied.

You're very happy today, why?

Relena smiled at him and wrote.

It's my favourite day.

Heero looked over to Relena and stared into her eyes; they sat there looking at each other for a few minutes. Relena thought she would lose her soul to his eyes if he didn't release her gaze soon. He was so intense and mysterious she could not tell what he was thinking.

The bell went and Heero and Relena's gaze was broken. They gathered up their things and walked towards the design building. They walked in silence as normal, when Relena reached the door a pair of muscular arms wrapped around waist and picked her up.

"Come on Relena! We're gonna be late, you're so slow! If we get wrong i'm soooo blaming you!" Relena began to wriggle out of Duo's hold. She didn't say goodbye to Heero. But when she looked up he was gone. Relena sighed to herself and accepted that she couldn't over power Duo. He sat her down in the chair and sat next to her and beamed at her.

"Hey Babe!" he winked, an action she'd grow used to.

"Hello Duo." She grinned. She always enjoyed this class, mostly because Duo was in it.

"Sooo... whatcha been ddoooiinnn?" He asked putting on his innocent face. She knew he wasn't innocent though.

"Nnnooottthhhiiinggg."She replied sticking out her tounge at him. He did the same and the two began to laugh. The class went on as normal and Duo continued to torment Relena and Relena to him. Pulling at his braid occasionally. But he took it too far, as always by getting ink on her cheek.

"Duo i hope this comes off!" She complained.

"It will man!" Duo grinned, "watch." Duo rubbed away the ink with his thumb and cupped Relena's cheek and looked at her softly. Relena began to grow hot under his touch. As though someone had just called him name, Duo quickly let go and turned to his work. Relena sat in her thoughts for a few moments, and then continued on with her work. At the end of the class she walked out to find Trowa and Quatre outside waiting for them.

"Hey Relena!" Quatre shouted and ran to them.

"Hey Quatre, how was Religion?" Quatre snorted.

"Boring, as always. Design?" Relena thought back to her lesson as they walked.

"Interesting." She said finally. Quatre looked at her a little puzzled but she just smiled and continued walking. Trowa soon found his way to her side,

"Hello my dear." Relena looked up at Trowa he too was a head taller than she and towered over him. His green eyes found hers and she blushed a little.

"Hello Trowa." Trowa always treated her with such care as well as being gentle. He took her books from her, and carried them for her.

They soon reached the tree to find Wufei leaning against the tree and Heero sitting underneath it, his eyes closed. He wasn't asleep, when Relena sat next to him he opened his eyes and found her. Duo caught up soon enough and sat opposite Relena like always with his knees crossed. They all chatted amoung themselves about general things. Relena didn't talk much today though, she was feeling very self conscious. Heero was sitting very close next to her, Duo opposite her. Quatre was talking with Trowa near by and Wufei silently standing by the tree, watching the world go by. Why am i so suddenly so... conscious. Nothing has changed... has it? Relena began to look between all the boys. Nothing stirred in her when she looked at Wufei or Quatre but... Duo, Heero and Trowa where another thing. She became all hot and bothered, fidgety and nervous. Do... do i like them all? She thought, she knew she had a soft spot for Heero. But Duo AND Trowa? Relena sighed heavily as she realised it was all true.

"What's wrong?" It was Heero, he never missed anything.

"Oh, nothing nothing. Just thinking to myself."

"About?" He was so forward and abrupt it always shook her.

"Nothing, I don't want to tell you." She stuck her tongue out at him and smiled. He watched her and after a few minutes he grinned at her.

"Excuse me," Relena and Heero both looked up to see Trowa standing above them. "Sorry but Relena it's time for Music."

"So soon?" She was shocked how quick time had gone.

"Alright." She smiled and Trowa put out a hand to help her up. She brushed herself off and looked for her bag to find that Heero had stood up with her and had it in his hand. She smiled and took it from him, but was jerked back as he didn't let go. He grew closer to her and whispered in her ear,

"I'll wait for you after art. Here, at the tree." With that he walked off and left Relena speechless under the tree. She shook her head and ran off to Trowa.

"What was that?" Trowa asked a little jealous.

"Nothing," She shrugged, "wants my English notes." Trowa nodded and the two walked to class together.

"Trowa Barotn, it's your turn." Each student had been asked to come up with a sheet of music that was inspired by something in your life. Trowa approached the front of the class, violin and sheet of music in hand.

"This was inspired by a new person in my life, she's had a great affect on me and it inspired my music." Trowa had his eyes fixed on Relena the whole time, she knew it was aimed at her. He wasn't being very subtle about it. She blushed and listened to him play, it was beautiful. He was a much better musician than she but she enjoyed listening to him. His piece was so passionate and daring she didn't want it to stop, but when it did those greens eyes found hers again. The whole room clapped and went onto the next student. Relena didn't focus on the lesson at all, she was so confused and couldn't think when Trowa was sitting so close to her. What am I going to do? Relena thought. Trowa noticed how rattled she was and placed an arm around her shoulder and pulled her to him in a side hug. Relena rested her head on Trowa's shoulder for a brief moment and then sat up. She thanked him but sitting like that, cuddled into Trowa wouldn't help her restlessness. The lesson finished soon after and Relena made her way over to art, Trowa walked her all the way of course. At the door of art Trowa hesitated it saying goodbye. He looked like he had something to say,

"Relena..." She was right.

"Trowa? What's up?" He looked down at the girl infront of him. Her golden hair falling down onto her shoulders, her blue eyes looking up at him, worried. He pulled her close and kissed her on the forehead; he lingered there for a few seconds then left without saying anything. Relena put a hand over where he had just kissed her and watched his retreating back. She walked into art, still with hand over head.

Art wasn't going to happen, she could not concentrate let alone paint or draw! Trowa had kissed her forehead, Heero was... well being Heero. Duo had caressed her cheek and stirred feelings inside of her. She sighed as she left the art room only 30 minutes later, feeling like she hadn't done anything. She approached the tree near the front gate of the school, Heero said he would meet her there. She sat on the grass and looked at her feet. How can i like them all? They're all different, but similar. Attractive, hell yes! But i cannot like them all, they're friends. I can't come between them, or my friendship for that matter. Relena's thoughts reeled around in her head she didn't notice someone approaching her. When she looked up she was disappointed when it wasn't Heero, she stood to address the man.

"Yes?" The man looked her up and down in a leer.

"Are you alone miss? You shouldn't be alone at this time." She twisted her nose at the man, he smelt and she knew his intentions from the tone in his voice.

"I'm waiting for someone." She said, "someone strong." She added. He grinned at her. Before she knew it he was pulling her to him roaming his hands around her body. Relena screamed and shouted, trying to push him off and hurt him. But he was much stronger than she.

"Get off!" She yelled. The man just laughed as he began to go up her top. But in a second the man was on the floor crying, What the? As the man fell to the ground he revealed Heero standing there looking furious. He knelt down on one knee and came to eye level with the man.

"You leave. Now. Before i loose my temper." The man scrurried off in panic crying, Heero had obviously hurt him, hard. Relena was so happy to see him she threw her arms around him and hugged him as tight as she could. She was so scared that he wouldn't come and save her. Heero hugged her back, burying his head in her hair and smelling her perfume. After a few mintues Relena pulled away from Heero, with her hands still around his neck, she had tears in the eyes.

"Heero, thank you." She sobbed. He wiped away her tears with his thumb and looked serious. Heero opened his mouth to say something but didn't. Heero slowly lowered his lips to Relena and kissed her gently and tenderly. Pulling her to him again. He could feel her curvy figure against his hard muscles. He pulled away unwillingly to watch Relena respond her tears where gone and she looked dazed.

"Wha-"

"No one will hurt you. Not while i'm here." Relena looked up at him, tears starting again in her eyes.

"Oh Heero." It was like something in Heero snapped, he kissed Relena again. Passionatly this time, closing what little space was between them. Relena tightened her arms around his neck pressing her against him. Heero began to walk back towards the tree and pushing himself onto Relena. He began to run his hands under her top, up her back and down her sides. Relena moaned a little in response and she felt Heero smirk under their kiss. Relena pulled away in need of air. They where both breathing heavily and looking at each other.

"I'll walk you home." Relena smiled and followed him as he walked out of the gates.

She didn't sleep much that night. But when she did, she dreamt of Heero.
