For Jealousy

"I'm going to marry a rich man and become like a princess!" Relena stated proudly as she held her head high. Usagi giggled under her breath and gently pushed her aside. "I'll be rich and become a princess without having to marry anyone at all!" she said boldly, and held her chin even higher.

I leaped in front of Usagi and gently thwacked my tail along her knees. I meowed in the most arrogant way possible and the two girls began giggling, ruffling my fur for what seemed like the hundredth time today.

"Do you want kids, Lena?" Usagi asked, glancing at her. Relena nodded furiously. "Of course I do. What about you?" she questioned back. Usagi replied with an "Mm-hm." Then she stood up and dusted her hands on her pink dress. "I hope we'll still be friends by then." She wondered solemnly aloud.

Relena pouted. "Of course we will, Usa!" she shrieked. "Tell you what, you get to name my first daughter—and I'll name yours." She suggested and waited intently for Usagi to answer. Usagi blinked twice and frowned. "What if our first kids are boys?" she gasped. Relena shook her head. "We'll worry about that some other time—hurry up!" she urged. Usagi hummed under her breath and snapped her fingers.

"Name her Serena. I like that name!" she stated, excitedly. "If I had the chance to change my name, it would be Serena!" she clapped her hands and grinned. Relena nodded in agreement. "That's pretty. Hm, I think 'Rini' is nice. Whada'ya think, Usa?" she raised her eyebrows expectantly.

Usagi's grin widened. "I like it, I like it!" I shook my head at those two and yawned, stretching my body out in the sun. Silly girls, I purred.

Usagi and Relena grew apart from the day they met Duo Maxwell and Heero Yuy—cousins by marriage and both from one of the most rich families in the Asia sector. Both Relena and Usagi developed an attraction towards Heero Yuy, though Heero publicly expressed his feelings to Relena. They'd been together for quite some time, until the two girls attended a party in which Heero introduced them to his cousin, Duo Maxwell.

Upon seeing Usagi for the first time, he instantly became attracted—though he had trouble showing it. "Hey, uh—do you want to dance?" Duo asked, his hand held out awkwardly in front of him. With raised brows, Usagi looked questioningly at Duo's hand. "There's no music on, though." She exclaimed softly and glanced around. Duo awkwardly pulled his hand back into his pocket and chuckled nervously. "That's right. Ah—I'm sorry." He apologized and lowered his head.

Duo initiated a conversation about how his dog of fourteen years—who was born the same time he was born—had passed away. He'd never wanted another dog again after his best friend had died. Usagi sympathetically hugged him and explained that her best friend was her cat, named Luna. Though no one was aware of it, Duo's eyes glimmered with increasing affection for her. She learned that Duo came from a family that was wealthier than that of Heero's.

When Relena heard this piece of information from Usagi, she grew distant from Heero and finally left him to gain Duo's affection (and money). Out of rage, Heero turned to Usagi as a way to initiate jealousy out of Relena. Unbeknownst to her that she was only being used as a means of retaliation, Usagi gladly let Heero into her life. Upset about Usagi and Heero's sudden consolidation, Duo began flirting with Relena as a way to get over Usagi. However, he cleverly figured that Heero still had feelings for Relena. As a way to get back at Heero for taking his love interest away from him, he allowed Relena to be his "girlfriend."

"Relena Peacecraft," Duo stated down on one knee. "Will you marry me?"

Usagi arched a brow. "What is it that you're looking at on your laptop all the time?" her voice was stern. Heero cleared his throat. "Duo proposed to Relena." He stated. Usagi raised her brows at him and bent down next to him to see the screen of his laptop. "What? We should have gone to the party, Heero! I can't believe we missed this!" she heaved, not bothered by the fact that Heero was monitoring what was going on in Duo's party.

I stared at the screen in disbelief. Why did Duo propose to Relena Peacecraft? Duo didn't love her—Usagi is the one he really loves! Relena accepted his ring in tears as everyone who attended the party applauded for them.

Duo wryly smiled at his fiancé. He knew far too well that Heero had set up cameras around his mansion hours before the party begun. He knew that Heero had purposely planned to "spend time" alone with Usagi in her apartment just to make Relena jealous—and to get back at him, Duo decided to propose to the woman that Heero still had feelings for.

"That's right, Heero. Look at how happy I've made Relena." Duo stated, under his breath as he sneaked glances at a camera hidden in the chandelier across the room. Despite how good he felt about getting back at Heero, Duo couldn't help but worry about what he and Usagi were doing at that very moment.

Heero closed his laptop and grunted. "Hn. Enough of that." He stated and narrowed his eyes, staring at nothing in particular. Usagi raised her brows up at him. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Do you want to go to the party? We can still make it there in time." She suggested. Heero grunted again and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, bringing her head into his chest. "Usagi," he began. "Are you happy?" his voice was gentle.

She nodded. "Why wouldn't I be? I have all of my friends here with me, Luna's—"

"With me?"

Usagi looked unexpectedly at Heero and smiled. "Of course I am," she spoke softly. Heero kissed the top of her forehead and whispered to her. "I want to make you happier." He declared and gently guided her body to lay on the couch with himself leaning above her. Usagi blinked twice and blushed. "Oh… Heero, I—I don't know about this. I'm scared—"

Heero kissed her on the mouth and nodded reassuringly. Without a word, Usagi complied and they made love to each other on her couch. I jumped off the cushion and bolted under the table where I kept myself occupied with the carpet.

When they were done, Usagi fell asleep on Heero's chest. "Usagi," Heero whispered in the most irresistible voice. "Hm?" she raised her head with her eyes closed. "Marry me." He stated. "Sure." Usagi mumbled and fell asleep again. "Tomorrow." He added. Usagi's eyes snapped open. "Are you sure?" she asked softly.

"Sure." He mumbled and fell asleep.

I poked my head from under the table and meowed disapprovingly at Heero. You are only doing this for jealousy. I told him, but he couldn't understand.
