Where I Can Say
Author's Notes: Well like I've been trying to do with all my other stories, I've been trying to update as much as I can. Often times the more you review, the fast I update! So keep those reviews coming! I'm very upset and disappointed that I only got 2 reviews from my last chapter. Oh and make sure you give me suggestions of songs!
Disclaimer: Character's not mine but the plot line is.
.:Beginning:.
She stood in line next to Heero, excited and grinning. They looked like a normal couple and just normal people, she had been happy that there were no tabloids around to snap their pictures. They stood in line behind twenty or so other people, like normal people. And Relena loved it.
"I can't believe you're gonna watch this movie with me, Heero!"
On the car ride there, Heero had asked her what movie she wanted to see. He had been expecting a chick flick and had almost been sure of it. He was dreading it but he would endure it if his wife had asked him to.
Imagine his surprise when he found out that she wanted to see the new Spiderman movie. He had been so surprised in fact, Heero had jerked the wheel of the car and almost caused an accident.
Heero paid for the two tickets in cash and with Relena's arm laced through his, they made their way to the snack stand. "Do you want anything, Relena?" He asked her after he purchased a large basket of popcorn. He caught her bending down, looking at the displays of candy.
She smiled at him and pointed to the box of gummi bears. Relena carried her candies while Heero carried the popcorn as they made their way to the room.
Relena didn't like popcorn, Heero was told half way through the movie when he noticed she didn't eat any of it.
"Why?" He whispered.
"When I got my braces off when I was like seventeen, I had gotten so used to the rules that I stopped eating it all together. Including gum." She whispered back, taking another gummi bear into her mouth.
Towards the middle, all the food had been devoured. Relena sat next to him with her eyes glued to the screen in front of her. Heero kept taking quick glances at her from the corner of his eye. His fingers twitched.
'Make your move on her already!' His mind ordered.
Heero had never been this nervous on a date before, probably because this wasn't exactly a normal date. His normal dates consisted of a private sit in to a movie, a five star expensive restaurant and hotel, a VIP spot in a club…anything but what the rest of the world did.
Heero watched as his arm lifted from the arm rest slowly and extend to slowly place itself gently on Relena's shoulders. Heero's fingers wound about her shoulder joint. Relena turned around and looked at him. Heero took a chance and tugged gently at her shoulder, pulling her to him. Against his shirt, he could feel her smile as she rested her head against his shoulder.
They stayed like that throughout the movie.
And he had caught tears streaming down her eyes. "I'm fine, really. It's just it's so sad!" Relena whispered. She laughed quietly, "Whenever I watch a movie and I see a sad moment, I always cry." She sniffled and buried herself deeper into his strong scent that just screamed IT'S HEERO!
They both loved the intimacy.
.:After the Movies:.
Heero focused on the road and drove with a destination in mind. He was about to turn left when Relena's hand on his arm stopped him.
"Take a left."
Heero followed her directions until he pulled up to a beach. He had been planning on taking her to a fancy restaurant…
"Come on!" She said as she climbed out of the car, buzzing with energy. Heero rushed out after her after he stopped the engine. The last time he had been to a beach was at a summer party during college.
Relena quickly pulled off her heels and held them in her right hand. In a heartbeat, she ran halfway down the beach. She turned around and noticed that he stood there, simply watching.
Relena frowned and made her way back to her husband. She reached for his hand and tugged. "Come on, have some fun with me." She had managed to drag him into the sand, with his shoes and slacks. The sun was setting and Relena ran towards the water with Heero in tow. She laughed and squealed before she noticed her stoic husband with a scowl on his face.
She didn't want to leave so she decided that she would make him have some fun. So Relena splashed him and dots of water hit his shirt and slacks. He grinned and pulled off his shoes and socks and ran into the water with her.
She took off as fast as her legs could take her with all the water sprinkling behind her. After a while, they were both out of breath and the sun had completely gone.
Heero caught her and wrapped his arms around her waist, staring into her eyes that reminded him of the sea. She still had this glow on her face and a wide smile. They had both gotten very wet.
Their harbored breaths were all the things they would hear as they stood closely to each other. The faint sounds of the seagulls and the waves seemed so far away although they were standing in the ocean.
Heero's eyes slipped down to her lips which seemed to pout and had grown a light glossy pink from the laughter and the water. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes bright against the dimming light.
He brought his head closer and she simply stood still. His fingers pressed against her lower back just slightly to draw her closer to him.
Their lips met and Relena closed her eyes and titled her head. Her hands reached up to his shoulders and felt the softness of his lips against hers. She responded.
It was their real first kiss.
.:Home:.
They both got home, both shivering and cold. They took their showers and got out. Relena was patting her hair with a towel when Heero received a phone call and took it in the office.
She walked down the hall and suddenly noticed an envelope on the table. Relena picked it up and realized it was for her. She took it back with her to their bedroom and put it at her nightstand.
They both hadn't eaten and so Heero had requested that the chief cook them a dinner. Relena smiled at Heero when he joined her at the top of the stairs. She felt nervous, would they kiss again? Would they be intimate as much as they had been at the beach and the movies?
All her questions disappeared when he gently grasped her hand. They walked down the grand staircase and enjoyed each other's company in silence.
They had been eating in silence until Heero decided to start a conversation. "So…what college did you go to?"
"Boston University. You?"
And it continued with rather…polite conversations. Relena shifted in her seat and decided to ask, "What have you liked most about your life?"
He looked at her as if she had three heads. She laughed nervously, "I mean I know that it's an odd question but…to me there's always a memory or something that a person has that they enjoy the most in their lives. I'm just curious." She explained.
Heero thought for a long moment before he replied, "I loved being a kid."
Relena looked at him thoughtfully, waiting for him to continue.
"When I was a kid, all I did was think about me. I didn't think about the people in the world who wanted money or power, or whatever my father wanted me to do. It was nice, to live in a life without having to be tainted by the rest of the world. What's yours?"
Relena smiled. It was always an easy question for her. "Laughing, plain and simple. I love it when people make me laugh because it's my true happiness. I mean when you laugh, you're happy. And when I laugh I don't think about the rest of the world, I just focus on the moment. I completely forget my past and stop worrying about the future. I just live in that moment when I laugh, and I love that."
"Is it easy to make you laugh?"
Relena laughed, "Terribly too simple!"
"I've never made you laugh." Heero pointed out. Relena laughed once again.
"Because you, my husband have no real sense of humor."
"Then why had I been able to make you laugh just then?" Heero asked.
"Well it doesn't have to be a joke. Sometimes just seeing someone look at my funny is enough to make me laugh. Or someone just has to do say something stupid."
"So you're saying I look funny and talk funny?"
"Your face IS funny, but your innocence on the matter is always humorous." Relena replied.
"I'll write it down on my To-Do List: Get a sense of humor."
"Or you always pay someone to get you one, like Duo!"
At this, Heero scowled. "All his jokes are annoying. His very being is annoying." Relena smiled and made a disapproving sound.
"That was mean! And you only find them annoying because like I said, you don't have a sense of humor!"
At the conversation went uphill from then.
.:Bed:.
Relena was going to have to sleep alone in a big bed alone for a couple of hours as Heero received another phone call.
It was when she was about to turn off her lamp did she realize that the letter was still there. There was no return address.
Relena opened it curiously and read it. Her fingers trembled and tears welled up in her eyes. Her lip trembled and her mind went numb. Without knowing it, her fingers had let the small thin paper drop from her fingers onto the silky blue comforter.
It was a letter from Trowa.
