He Holds the Key to My Heart

Chapter 2: Friendships
I became good friends with all of the Gundam pilots after the war. Duo and Quatre Raberba Winner were the easiest of the pilots to become friends with. Duo's always in a cheerful mood and a good natured person. I suppose the hardships he grew up with is what makes it easy for him to be cheerful all the time. Quatre is the most tender-hearted, gentle and friendly of the Gundam pilots. We became fast friends and we attend a lot of political meetings together and usually go out and do something after to catch up, because we rarely see each other otherwise. That's understandable seeing as Quatre is running the Winner multibillion dollar business and me being the Vice Foreign Minister. Our schedules never seem to agree with each other.
The other Gundam pilots were harder to become friends with, but it was well worth the effort. Heero Yuy became my protector and head of security after the war; he is always by my side in the shadows. Slowly I was able to draw him out and slowly break away his tough "perfect soldier" wall he had put up around his emotions. I've only managed to crack the wall and still have a long way to go, but it's a start. I finally managed to get him to talk more and have a descent conversation, a huge change from the one sided conversations we used to have. Everyone thought I loved Heero and I do, just not in the way everyone thinks I do. Yes I had been in love with him during the war, or I thought I was, Heero had loved me too, but not in the way I had wanted at the time. I soon realized we weren't meant to be, but we became good friends. We've come to love each other like brother and sister and like any brother; he's very protective of me.
Wufei Chang was the hardest of the Gundam Pilots to become friends with, but he finally opened up to me after a while and we became really good friends. In fact we talk frequently and are always exchanging books, hard to believe that Wufei is a book lover, huh? He is and we happen to have the same taste in books, that's what broke the ice between us and started our friendship. Heero had had to go away on a mission for the Preventers and had asked Wufei to take his place as my body guard. He reluctantly accepted. While I was reading that night he finally started talking to me for the first time all day since he had become my temporary body guard. I guess he was curious and he asked me what I was reading, I was shocked he was actually talking to me, but I told him. And that's were it started; we found a common interest and soon found we had much more in common and that was the start of our friendship.
Trowa Barton was also difficult to become friends with, since he is very quite and seems somewhat antisocial. We first officially met on the battleship Peacemillion. The war had ended and Heero and the others had saved Earth from the falling debris of The Battleship Libra. If the debris had hit Earth, it would have resulted in a never ending winter on Earth making it unlivable. Trowa hadn't said much to me, other than introducing himself. I found myself instantly attracted to him. We saw each other during conventions and political parties quite a bit since the Preventers were required to be there for my protection. I'd always find an excuse to go over and talk to him and he slowly began to talk to me more and more, slowly forming a pretty good friendship. I sometimes caught him looking at me, but whenever I noticed he'd look away. I hoped it was because maybe he had feelings for me, but other than those glances there was nothing else I could go by to tell if it were true or not. Other than the conventions we rarely saw each other. But I knew I was falling in love with him. Then Heero had to go away on another mission for the Preventers and he asked Trowa to serve as my body guard until he returned. Heero had ended up being away on his mission for six months and my relationship with Trowa finally had a chance to grow stronger or so I hoped…
