The morning came into focus slowly and the sun poured into the window gently waking Relena from her slumber. She blinked and rubbed her eyes. She liked mornings, they were quiet and peaceful. She sat up slowly as not to wake Trowa, he however was not a morning person and would not wake up for another few hours. Relena pulled on Trowa's shirt and tiptoed downstairs. The kitchen floor was cold on her feet and she winced at the feeling. She silently shut the door most of the way and began to make some tea for herself. As she stood there waiting for the noisy kettle to shut up she thought back to last night when Heero kissed her, she felt a knot build in her stomach and a blush crept into her cheeks, dispite the temperature in the room. And she began to slowly grin, when she realised she gasped and put the hand over her mouth. 'She shouldn't be happy about this, she had a boyfriend, a good one, who liked her, they hadn't said i love you, but she was still very fond of him. And what about Heero, how did he feel…' Relena thought to herself. The kettle eventually shut up and she poured out her tea and held in both hands trying to warm up.

'Is there enough for me?' Relena jumped and spun around to find heero, leaning against the door frame, the same grin and look in his eyes. She quickly looked away and said, 'of course.' She got out a cup for him and began to fidget with objects around her, 'tea or coffee?' she asked shakily.

'coffee.' came his voice from right beside her. She nodded and began to put coffee into his cup. It was blue cup with a slogan on it that read 'I don't do mornings, or afternoons or nights.' Duo had bought him it for christmas, Relena smiled at the fact it hadn't been thrown and broken. Heero poured hot water into his cup and looked at Relena out of the corner of his eye.

'thanks.' he said quietly as he turned back to his coffee. Seeming very interested in it now. They stood there silently for awhile, neither one of them looking up or at each other. When Relena couldn't stand the silence anymore she put looked up at him, but he didn't look at her.

'Heero…' she could feel her voice leaving her as she looked over his strong posture. 'Last night, what…I…. I mean Trowa….' She trailed off and still didn't know what to say. He still wasn't looking at her, 'why won't you look at me?' And then he did, and his face was hard. His eyes held her fiercely. She almost looked away because of the intensity he showed. Then his eyes trailed down her figure and looked away again.

'Heero what-'

'I don't like your shirt.' he bluntly said. And then it dawned on her, it was trowa's and what it looked like her wearing his shirt, and nothing else. She felt her face fall and before she could say anything else he was stalking out the kitchen, she wouldn't let him leave. Not so rudely when she wanted to talk to him, so she ran infront of him and shut the kitchen door and blocked his path.

'Heero! What you did last night, it surprised me. You know i'm with Trowa, and….' Relena lost her nerve and began to trail off.

'And?' he spat out. She blinked and tried to continue,

'And… well…' She looked down at her feet but back away as Heero stalked towards her and cornered her between him and the door. He put his hands either side of her on the door and leant in to whisper into her ear.

'It should be my shirt Relena. Not his.' She was breathing hard and fast now she didn't quiet know what to say, so she said nothing. he looked into her eyes and his expression softened. He looked like he had something to say, so she didn't push him and waited.

'I didn't like you at first. When i first saw you.' He remarked, and it hurt Relena she felt a tinge of sadness in her. 'but you kept coming round,' he continued. 'Again and again, as we all spent time together. Ate, watched movies. You grew on me. And then one night i felt the realisation drop on me.' He looked away from her then and moved towards the window to look outside. Relena was shocked, she didn't expect him to… to…

'I like you.' He whispered. 'I like you a lot. I don't go around kissing anyone for no reason. I'm not like that. Trowa… Trowa doesn't know. And i don't know what he would say. But…' and thats where he left it. In Relena's court. To reply to that. She licked her lips and stared straight into his back, as though the answer was hidden there. He turned to look at her then and his expression was soft, gentle and caring.

'i know it's a lot to take in. But i'm not going to let go without a fight. This is new for even me, and you….' Heero sighed then and looked akward. 'You awaken something in me, i feel more…. alive when your around.' Relena slowly walked over to Heero then and looked up at him, then away into the window. Then back at him again and rested her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her small waist and held her close. The heat coming from him was unnerving, her hands circled around his waist and she sighed. She definitely felt something for Heero and she knew it. But now the question was…. was it more than she felt for Trowa.

'Heero…. i don't know. I feel it too, something for you. But …..' she sighed, 'i'm confused. i need some time.' he nodded and began to let her go but she protested.

'No, just keep holding me for a little while longer.' And so he did.

Relena went upstairs to get changed and found Trowa waking up and smiled when he seen her.

'Morning my love,' he smiled, 'What would you like to do today?'

'Is that a joke? cos it's not funny.' she laughed anyway though. 'you know we're still snowed in.' He nodded and threw on a shirt and pants. He kissed her gently on the hand and walked downstairs to get his own coffee. Relena found him later on playing Duo on the xbox.

'You gonna die buddy! They don't call me the angel of death for nothing!' Duo was moving left and right like a child on a game. Trowa was winning, it was a racing game. Luckily she came prepared and brought a book down and sat reading.

'Noooooo!' Duo shouted, 'Cheat!'

'Duo, you can't cheat on this.' trowa said calmly, he looked over his shoulder to wink at Relena then and turned back to the game. Heero wasn't anywhere to be seen and she was a little disappointed by that. Hours passed, games went and Relena even joined in a little. She laughed as she ascended the stairs and heard Duo shouting at Trowa again. But as she got half way to the top she stopped dead to view a half naked, wet heero standing at the top of the stairs in nothing but a towel around his waist and one around his shoulders which he was using to dry his hair. He noticed her then and grinned slowly and then winked. Heero actually winked! He walked forward into his room then and heard the door click shut. She had to force herself to move, and go to the bathroom like she planned not follow him into his room and….on her way back down she paused at his door, standing there silently. She raised at hand to knock, but didn't. Just as she began to walk away the door swung open to find Heero standing in his baggy jeans and wet bangs hanging over his face. His eyes lit up when he seen her and he slowly step towards her, he was inches away from his face when she kissed him roughly and shoved him backwards into his room where he shut the door behind him. And grabbed her to him and moaned in response to her urgency. Relena's hands trailed down Heero's muscular chest and up again to tangle in his soaked hair. He walked her backwards and caught her, again, between the door and himself. He left her mouth and began to kiss and nip at her neck. Relena moaned and threw her head back in pleasure. Heero grew more and more intense and grabbed her leg and wrapped it around his waist as he pressed his body weight into her as he looked deep into her eyes. They were both breathing hard, and Relena could feel Heero's heart pounding against his. Heero's fingers slowly made their way along Relena's waist line and slide up her top around to the clasp on her back. He undid it swiftly in one motion. Relena felt the passion build inside of her, she bit her lip and closed her eyes.

'Relena' heero grunted in her ear and she could feel herself become excited and wet in response. She pressed herself against him and said, 'Heer-' but she was cut off by him putting his hand over her mouth and becoming alert. She panicked as she heard someone coming upstairs, her eyes went wide as heero dragged her to the far side of the room and opened some secret room and put her inside. He shut the door. She was hit with the blackness of the room, there was no windows or lights in here, that she could see. She remained quiet as she heard heero talking to someone.

'-Relena?' it was Duo.

'She's in my bathroom.' He said shortly.

'Wheyy Heeroo, shackin-' Duo started to giggle.

'No!' Heero shot back, 'no toilet roll in the other one, so she's used mine.' The room fell silent and Relena began to worry, would duo catch on?

'Alright then,' he finally said. 'Tell her to get downstairs soon though, it's her turn for racing and i'm gonna beat her ass!' a few seconds after that she heard the door shut and then the one infront of her open. And there stood a heero, a silhouette against the light, he stretched out a hand to her and after a moments hesitation she took it. She winced at the sudden flow of light but when her eyes adjusted she looked around heero's room, it wasn't very decretive, no pictures or ornaments etc. Just his laptop and a king size bed, with a table lamp and a bookcase?

'you like to read?' she asked curiously, he grinned and replied 'yes.'

'What do you like to read?' she asked as she walked over to the bookcase.

'Everything.' he stated and took her hand and led her out of the room, 'you being absent is suspicious. i don't want you to leave…. but…' she signed and nodded but as she turned to leave he drew her to him and kissed her gently on the forehead before releasing her.

She beat Duo at racing that afternoon and had four cups of tea. But nothing could keep her mind away from the moment of pure passion she had with Heero, she hadn't felt that with Trowa. That fire, that need. It felt so.. so good. She wanted to do it again, needed to. but guilt settled in when her eyes rested on the back of trowa's head. He cared for her, and she for him. But she could feel it slipping away.
