Relena lay in her bed the next morning, sleepless and frustrated. She hadn't slept all night and her mind was spinning around in constant thoughts of Heero Yuy. She looked at her clock, it was 7:50 in the morning. Relena sighed and dragged herself out of bed. With a loud thud she hit the floor and began to dress herself. Relena left her hair down, put on a pair of faded blue skinny jeans a strap top and a long cardigan on and she was good to go. Relena walked to school slower than normal, hoping Heero would go to class without her. But when she reached those big gates, there he was, under that tree waiting for her. She walked up to him with a nervous smile on her face. When she grew close Heero looked over her expression and began to walk Relena to her class. She quickly followed behind and again, like always they walked in silence.
Relena sat in Philosophy, her only free lesson from any of the lads. She could think to herself now. She knew her feelings for Heero where growing, but couldn't forget the effect Trowa and Duo had on her. The class passed quickly and Relena found Trowa outside her class room.
"Good Morning Loverly." Trowa said with a smile.
"Good Morning Trowa." Relena said with forced smile. Everything was getting to her and she couldn't hide it much longer. Trowa looked a little more closely at Relena.
"Relena, you look tired. Very tired. Have you slept?"
Relena sighed, "No, not at all," she was hoping to leave it there but he looked at her waiting for her continue. "I...er.. was attacked last night, by some man. Kept me up a little."
Relena gave a quick glace to see if Trowa had bought her lie, she completely forgot about being attack but it was proving to be a good excuse. Trowa stopped and watched Relena with a cold gaze.
"Someone attacked you?"
"Yes."
"Who?" Trowa's voice was growing more dangerous and threatening.
"I don't know, i mean i didn't know him."
"Did he hurt you?" Relena shrugged.
"A little... Heero saved me though." Relena realised that saying his name didn't help. Trowa took her information in and began to relax again and walk with her, they where late for class now.
"That's good. Is he still alive?" Relena looked up at Trowa confused.
"The man? Yes. Why wouldn't he be?" Trowa shrugged and didn't comment any more on the subject. Relena thought about Trowa during music. She was flattered by his concern and woundered what would of happened if Trowa had been there last night instead of Heero, or Duo for that matter. Relena shook her head and got to work. She wasn't going to waste another lesson doing nothing. Relena left the class room and said goodbye to Trowa, she had a free period now and woundered slowly over to the tree outside. Relena didn't want to think, or do work, so she simply read. Getting lost in her book she didn't notice when Heero stood in front of her. When she looked up to see who it was he had a small grin on his face. Relena blushed and looked away.
"Relena."
"Heero." Heero sat down next to Relena and looked over her shoulder to see what she was reading. He was so close to Relena, she inhaled slowly and realised he had a musky strong smell to him. Relena felt disappointed when he moved away. They sat there for a little bit saying nothing, Heero wasn't a talkative person but Relena didn't mind.
"You look tired this morning, you still do." Relena nodded.
"I didn't sleep much." Heero gave a quick look out the corner of his eye.
"Because of the guy attacking you?" Relena swallowed nervously.
"Kinda." Heero turned to face her now.
"That's what you told Trowa." Relena looked up in shock.
"You've spoken to him?"
"He text me, yes." Relena just nodded thinking about how she lied to Trowa. She felt bad about lieing to someone who cared for her so much. Without warning Heero pulled Relena onto his knee and lowered his face to hers, almost kissing her lips. He whispered,
"I know how they feel about you Relena." she gasped, He knew? Heero cupped Relena's cheek and slowly ran his fingers down her neck and along her colorbone, he then began to play with a the small chain on Relena's necklace knotting it in between his fingers.
"But I want you to be mine" Relena could feel Heero's warm breath on her neck daring her to claim his lips again. But as quickly as it started it ended. Heero sat up right and handed Relena back her book and moved away from her and stood up.
"I'm late for class, but i'll come find you later." He grinned at her and then walked away. There he left a flushed, confused Relena to read, or rather not read now.
Relena stamped her feet all the way to art, just because she felt like it. How dare he tease me like that! She thought to herself. Pulling me on his knee and playing with my necklace! Grrr. Relena plonked herself in the usual chair next to Quatre and sulked.
"Hey Relena!" Quatre beamed.
"Hello Quatre." Relena didn't smile, but she realised she should of.
"What's wrong Relena? You don't seem very happy." Relena sighed, she was getting sick of this.
"I've just got something's i'm thinking about, and it's frustrating me because i don't know what to do. But nevermind." Quatre looked at her a little confused but then gave a small grin.
"Why don't we talk about it? A problem told it a problem halfed!" Relena thought about this, but he might tell Trowa, Duo or worse Heero.
"Promise you don't tell ANYONE? Not anyone we know?" Quatre nodded and made a cross with his finger over his heart.
"Promise." So Relena spilt the beans in one art lesson, and in turn got no work done. Quatre giggled a little bit when she finished.
"This isn't funny. I don't know what to do." Relena sulked for a little bit longer.
"Oh Relena, i'd say don't worry about it. Until you know for sure which one you like the best i wouldn't do anything. I mean they are my friends, and i don't want to see them hurt but... someone is going to get hurt. You just can't help it." Relena felt a lot better and relaxed she'd told someone, and Quatre was right until she decided on who she liked the most, she couldn't do anything. Relena smiled for the first time that day and gave Quatre the biggest hug she could. Quatre blushed and turned quiet for the rest of the lesson.
Relena walked out of class and waved goodbye to Quatre. As she walked out of class she noticed Duo looking around the hall. She didn't want to talk to him today, she had enough to worry about. But just at that moment...
"Yo Babe!" Dammit. "Relena! Where ya bin girl!" Relena sighed.
"No where!" Relena couldn't help but smile at Duo, he always made her laugh. As he ran up to her, bumping into loads of people on the way, he grinned at her.
"I ain't seen ya all day girl! Might miss you" He winked at Relena and she blushed. Relena didn't say anything but tried to look away. Duo looked at her hard when he realised her attention wasn't on him.
"Something wrong?"
"Oh, no no. I'm fine!" Relena smiled hoping he would buy it. He raised one questioning eye brow.
"You... look tired. Like you haven't slept." Relena sighed, she would have to lie to Duo aswell.
"Got attack yesterday, by a man. Someone i didn't know. Heero saved me. No harm done." Relena hoped it would be left at that, but no.
"Someone attacked you? How dare he! I got half a mind to send him a one way ticket to the graveyard!" Relena could see that Duo was getting rattled and drawing attention from other students.
"Duo! Duo! I'm fine, lets go outside. You have a free now don't you?" Duo nodded and followed Relena outside. She didn't walk to the tree because that would only rattle Relena more of thoughts of Heero.
"So what happened? Is he alive?"
"Why have you all asked is he still alive? He is, Heero only hurt him and then he ran away." Duo nodded and started to calm down.
"So... are you okay?" Relena nodded.
"I'm fine, i've forgotten about it now. So please don't worry." Duo looked her over and fell silent.
"You know Relena... if you want someone to walk you home on a night, I can if you want? I mean it's out of my way.. but i wouldn't mind." Relena felt a little embarrassed, but gratefull that Duo was being so nice.
"No it's alrighty Duo. Heero normally walks me home, and besides. It was my own fault i left art early instead of waiting for him." Duo pulled his eyebrows together and looked in thought.
"You too... sure do spend a lot of time together don't you?" Relena blushed, she felt bad that Duo had noticed this.
"We do I guess." Duo looked over to Relena, sadness in his eyes.
"Do you like him?" Relena looked shocked, she wasn't expecting Duo to be so forward.
"I...er... I do." Relena blushed and buried her face in her hands. Duo put his arm above her head and leaned against the wall lowering his head to Relena.
"But I like you Relena." Relena looked up at Duo and didn't see any grin, smirk or wink. He was being serious about her. She bit her lip and thought it best to be honest.
"I like Heero a lot Duo, but there's something in me that draws me to you. I'm not trying to lead you on or anything. I'm just trying to be honest." Duo smiled, it wasn't naughty or childish it was his genuine smile. He looked at her softly,
"Then I won't give up." With that Duo left Relena and walked home. She sighed and walked over to the tree near the gates. She lay down in the grass and looked up at the clouds and slowly drifted into a slumber.
Relena slowly awoke to see Heero lying next to her propped up on one elbow watching her. She gently rubbed her eyes and turned towards him.
"I see you've woken up." Relena smiled and scooted a little closer to Heero.
"Yes, how long have you been here?" Heero never stopped looking at her.
"Not long." When Relena looked around she realised no one was at the school anymore, it must be late. How long had she slept. When she thought about it, Heero must have been there ages. She smiled to herself. She looked up into his eyes, those Persian eyes that saved her all those weeks ago.
"I want to spend time some time with you Relena." Heero looked into the distance, "Outside of school." Relena bit her lip, this made her happy. She could feel it and couldn't hide it.
"That would be wonderful! Thank you." Heero looked over to Relena and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips and then hovered there for a moment.
"It's my pleasure Relena." Relena felt a shiver up her back at the word pleasure. Heero looked into Relena's eyes and grinned.
"I'll walk you home." And they did, in silence like always.
When they reached Relena's door, Heero didn't leave. Normally he'll just say goodbye and walk away, but he hesitated at the door and waited longer than normal, and Relena picked up on this.
"Would... would you like to come in?" Heero nodded and followed her inside. Heero gave the room a quick once over,
"Where are your parents?"
"Oh, my parents work together, but they work late, they normally get home about... half eight-ish?" Relena took off her shoes and Heero followed suit.
"I see." From the size of Relena's house he could tell she was well off, but he knew that already.
"I normally just spend most of the time in my room, so i won't notice they're not here." Relena giggled to herself. "A bit sad really."
"Where is your room?" Relena didn't expect to be asked so directly, she woundered if she would ever get used to it.
"It's this way." Relena started to ascend the set of stairs to her left the spiralled around and again he followed closely behind. The stairs opened up onto a large white corridor with family photo's hanging, Relena walked along to the last door in the corridor and walked into her room. The room was very large with a double bed facing the door, large open windows on the right hand side and at least two bookcases filled with books. A wardrobe, and a desk. It was a creamy colour, no pictures, very simple, very tidy.
"It's a bit boring, but... it's my room" Relena said as she put away her coat bag and books. "My parents arn't exactly around, but they're strict when it comes to my responsibilities, like tidying my room and my school work." Heero nodded, while looking around the room. Relena gave a quick look at Heero as she walked across the room and opened a window. Relena sighed and felt herself relax. She turned to find Heero perched on the end of her bed still looking around, she sat next to him and he turned to her.
"So is this what you meant by spending more time together?" Heero shook his head.
"Not really, I was wondering if you wanted to come to my place. Or go somewhere." Relena nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, what would you like to do?" Heero's gaze never lifted from Relena. He didn't answer her, he just sat peering into her eyes. Examining her, her face, eyes, how blue they are and clear. Her soft golden hair, and her lips.
"This," Heero whispered as her pulled Relena to him and kissed her passionately on the lips, he lifted her legs over his knee and ran a hand down her leg and stop on her hip. Relena wrapped her arms around Heero's neck and deepened the kiss. Heero used his body weight to fall onto Relena's bed and roll over onto Relena. Relena's hands began to feel across Heero's perfectly formed torso, his muscles all tightened at her touch as she reached around and up his lean back. Heero broke the kiss and began to leave little butterfly kissed down her jaw,
"Relena," she moaned in response. "I meant what I said this morning." Heero moved onto her neck, gently kissing her, she began to breath deeply.
"I want you to be mine, and only mine." Relena gasped as Heero then kissed along her collarbone while his hand started to lift up the strap top she put on that morning. Before Relena could answer the phone rang, she sat up ready to answer it but Heero grabbed her hand,
"It could be my parents."
"Machine?" he said as he kissed the hand he took. Relena took a slow breath in to calm herself,
"Don't have one." She finally said. So he let her answer the phone.
"Hello?" Heero didn't stop though, he turned Relena back onto her back and began to kiss her flat stomach and run a hand up and down her inner thigh.
"Trowa?" Relena breathed. She couldn't really concentrate. Heero looked up immediately with the sound of his name,
"I'm a bit busy at the moment Trowa." Relena watched as Heero grew closer to her face and moved to nibble on her free ear.
"Can...can i ring you back? Erm... ah... in about... i don't know-" Heero grabbed the phone from Relena before she could protest.
"Trowa? Yes it's Heero... We're doing English homework at the moment because I need some help... When? She doesn't know... Later. Bye." Heero hung up and turned to a shocked Relena.
"You can't just-"
"I can. And have." He reached to Relena and pulled her to him by her hips and lower his face to hers.
"I don't think i can give you away Relena. Or share you." Relena bit her lip and swallowed nervously, she was finding it hard to breath with him so close, his breath on her sent shivers down her back. She traced a line down the middle of his torso with her finger stopping just before his pants and smirked.
"I'll make sure I don't, if you want me." Relena looked up into Heero's eyes, he was serious, more than normal.
"Heero, I don't want you to share me. I only want you. I'd have told you otherwise by now." Heero smiled down at Relena and kissed her tenderly.
"I love you Relena."
"I love you Heero." Heero lay down next to Relena propped up by his elbow, "I'll tell Trowa and Duo." He traced his finger down Relena's side over her curvy body. She closed her eyes and sighed, with pleasure and then thought of Duo and Trowa, how close they all where and how she would be hurting them.
"They'll understand Relena. So don't worry." She smiled at Heero and hugged him tightly.
"I just don't like hurting them." Heero held Relena close and smelt her hair, how it smelt of flowers.
"I know, but they can handle it." Relena nodded in agreement.
