Chapter 4
The smell of bacon and eggs lingered through the atmosphere, as Serena opened her eyes, and looked to her right to see Heero no longer there. She looked around the room and noticed the plain cream-colored walls with no pictures. She took a deep breath and sat up holding the sheet close to her body as she could hear Heero take out some dishes. Standing up, she wrapped the sheet around her body and walked out of the room, and smiled as she saw Heero wearing black sweat pants and no shirt with his back facing her as she silently watched him turn the bacon. She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist as she stood on her toes to look over his shoulders and commented on the food, "Looks delicious."
Heero smirked as he turned slightly to snake an arm around her waist as he turned off the stove and raised an eyebrow as he noticed a sheet wrapped around her. "So do you." He said as he bent down and kissed her rosy lips.
Serena wrapped her arms around his neck and let go a small moan as she felt Heero begin to kiss her neck and pushed him away. She laughed as she saw Heero look at her with confusion and desire as she asked, "What about breakfast?"
Heero chuckled as he shook his head and stepped towards her and picked her up princess style and began to walk towards the bedroom. "It can wait."
"But . . . you . . ." Serena didn't know what to say once she looked into his Prussian eyes and became speechless. She looked back and noticed the bed was in view and observed how delicate Heero treated her as he gently laid her on the bed and began to kiss her lips. I'm smitten . . . she thought.
Lita looked up from her bowl of cereal as she saw Amy wearing a light yellow sun dress and was wearing some blush, mascara, and lip gloss. Lita smiled as she asked devilishly, "Where are you going?"
Amy stopped in mid-step as she heard Lita talk to her and turned around with her face a shade of cherries as she stuttered out a reply, "No . . . . no where."
"Uh-huh, and I'm flying." Lita said with laughter as she asked, "You're going out with Quatre, aren't you?"
"Well . . . we . . . he . . ." she began to rub the back of her head as she looked at Lita and then sighed with frustration as she answered her friend, "We're going out for brunch."
"A date!" Lita exclaimed as she quickly stood from the table and walked over to Amy and gave her a hug, "How exciting."
"It's not a date . . . we're going to talk about our Mythology assignment since we're partners."
Lita laughed even more as she gave Amy a playful punch, "Sure Ames . . . it's a date."
Amy shook her head in defeat as she knew Lita and Mina were the worst when talking about the opposite sex. She turned around and quickly left the apartment before Lita could ask any more questions.
"Hi Amy!" Mina said cheerfully as she walked out of her apartment with Duo and smiled at Amy as she noticed Amy's attire and asked, "Where are you going?"
Amy didn't have time to answer as Quatre stepped out of the elevator and walked over to her and smiled. "Good afternoon, Amy." Quatre greeted as he saw Duo and Mina standing in the hall and greeted them, "Hello Duo and Mina."
Duo and Mina both looked at each other, grinned, and looked at Quatre and Amy as they both asked, "You're going on a date?" They both laughed as they saw Quatre and Amy become tomatoes as they blushed at the idea their friends made.
Amy shook her head as she wanted to correct them, but shook her head as she remembered whom she was talking to. Quatre knowing Duo for three years knew he couldn't argue with Duo as he replied, "We're going out for brunch. Would the two of you like to join us?"
Duo and Mina both looked at each other, smiled again, and gave them a nod. The four of them stepped onto the elevator as Mina looked over to Amy and asked, "Have you seen Serena?"
Amy shook her head as she answered her friend, "No. I even stopped by her apartment last night and she didn't answer."
Duo and Quatre both looked at each other as Quatre asked Duo, "Have you heard from Heero?"
"Nope." Duo answered and asked with a mischievous grin on his face, "Do you think him and Serena are together?"
They all thought about his question as they replied, "That's impossible."
Amy witnessing both Heero's and Serena's behavior the other day and concluded, "They'd kill each other before they consider dating."
Serena and Heero both laid in bed as Heero gently ran his fingers through Serena's long blond hair. He looked at the crown of her head and smirked as he felt content and whole with her in his arms. Serena held a small smile on her face as she listened to Heero's heartbeat and asked, "Do you think the others know?"
"Hn."
Serena chuckled as she sat up and looked into his eyes, "Eventually, they'll find out."
"Not if we act the way we have been." He suggested as he pushed her head back down with his right hand and closed his eyes.
Serena gave him a soft smile as she rested her head back on Heero's chest and also closed her eyes as she thought about her life. "I'm finally happy." She said quietly as she allowed sleep to claim her, unaware Heero heard every word.
Heero kissed the crown of her head as he allowed sleep to consume him as he whispered, "Me too."
Rei slammed her comic book down as she stood from the couch and grabbed her keys off the nightstand. "I can't take this anymore!" She yelled in frustration as she left the apartment.
Rei pushed open the gym doors and walked over to a mat. Her violet eyes quickly scanned her surroundings as she began to stretch and smirked as the gym was empty. "This will have to do." She said as she finished her stretches and began some katas.
Wufei opened the gym doors and noticed Rei was on his mat. Wanting to say something, he quickly stopped as he watched how accurate her movements were and felt entranced as he continued to watch the fiery girl practice her karate moves. He quietly set his duffle bag down and walked over to her and blocked a punch. He smirked as Rei's violet eyes flickered with fire from him blocking a punch as he commented, "Not bad for being a weak Onna."
Rei glared at him as she swung at him only to have him grab a hold of her wrist. "I'll show you weak!" She quickly pulled back and performed a round-house kick, causing him to fall.
Wufei smirked as he jumped back up to his feet and positioned himself in a fighting stance, "Maxwell hits better than you." He taunted and chuckled to himself as he issued their first spar.
Trowa walked to the park and saw Lita sitting on a bench and feeding some ducks. He smiled at the scene and sat down next to her as he asked, "Mind if I join you?"
Lita looked over to him and shrugged as she handed him a piece of bread, "Sure." She watched from the corner of her eyes how he gently tore the bread into smaller piece and threw the piece into the lake as the ducks began to flock towards free food. "Take the fun out if why don't you?" She joke as she noticed the ducks surrounding her feet were no longer there.
"I didn't want to see you get attacked," he joked as he looked over to her and gave her a smirk.
Lita laughed as she watched the ducks fight over the food and looked up to the blue sky. Her mind at peace from not fighting youmas as she looked over to Trowa and asked, "Have you seen Serena?"
Trowa shook his head as he hasn't see Heero since school lunch and asked, "Are you worried about her?"
Lita shook her head as she stood from the bench and looked at him, "I know she's fine. It's just . . ." she shook her head in frustration as she commented, "never mind." She gave him a small smile and asked, "Have you had lunch?" Trowa silently shook his head as he watched Lita smile as she yelled, "Great!" She turned back around and grabbed a hold of his hand and pulled him off the bench, "Come with me."
Trowa raised a brown eyebrow as Lita unlocked her apartment door and motioned for him to come inside. "I like to cook," she admitted, and loving the fact she had someone to cook for, "make yourself at home, I'm going to start making some lunch."
Trowa followed her into the kitchen and silently watched as Lita opened the fridge and began to take out some vegetables. He shook his head as he walked over to her and took the vegetables from her hands and walked over to the sink as he noticed her glare, "I'll clean them while you get the rest of your ingredients."
Lita looked at him as if he had two heads as she asked, "You know how to cook?"
Trowa shrugged his shoulders as he looked over his shoulder and replied, "A few dishes."
Lita smiled at him as she walked over to the pantry and took out some rice as she began to make them stir-fry.
Serena awake, noticed Heero wasn't next to her and shook her head as she sat up in bed looking for her clothes. She smirked as she walked over to Heero's closet and took out a long-button up sleeved shirt and walked over to his dresser and grabbed a pair of his spandex shorts. She opened the door and walked down the hall to see Heero working on his laptop and asked, "Found anything interesting?"
Heero glanced up from his laptop and froze. Shaking his head to rid his mind of the thoughts of Serena wearing his clothes, swallowed the dry lump in his throat as he replied, "Hai."
Serena walked over to him and sat on his right side and curled her legs underneath her as she snuggled closer to him to look at the information on his screen. "This is the information from last night."
"Hn."
Serena punched him lightly and stuck out her tongue only to have it grabbed by Heero. "Heero!" She attempted to say, hoping he would let go, and found her eyes widening as Heero gave her a smirk.
Heero shook his head as he released her tongue and gave her a quick kiss before he turned back to the computer screen. "Have you looked over the information you retrieved?"
Serena gave him a smile as she looked over the screen and gasped. "OZ is trying to re-create World War II by creating a substance similar to the Atomic bomb."
"Why the atomic bomb?"
"It hasn't been used in war for how long?"
Heero looked at her and nodded his head as he replied, "You do have a point." Going back to his laptop, he began to scroll down the information, and stopped as he noticed blue prints for a new design of a mobile doll. "This isn't good."
Serena leaning closer to look at the screen, she looked at Heero with fear flickering in her eyes as she asked in a shaky voice, "OZ is designing a mobile doll to destroy us?"
"Or one of the colonies to ensure this war becomes a bigger blood bath."
"We have to stop them, Heero."
Heero ran a hand through his chocolate locks as he closed his laptop and looked back at Serena as he wrapped an arm around her and stared into her cerulean eyes as he promised, "We will."
Serena wrapped her arms around him tighter as she closed her eyes and spoke softly, "We have no choice." She glanced back to her flash drive sitting on the table as Heero continued to hold her as she asked, "Should we focus our history project on War World II?"
Heero looked down at her and grunted, "Hn."
Serena glanced up at him and smiled as she gave him a kiss on the lips and began to pull away from his warm embrace. She sighed as she noticed the time and looked at Heero as she began to stand from the couch, "I'll start gathering information about the atomic bomb, if you're wanting to gather information about the war."
Heero gave her a nod as he also stood up and grabbed a hold of her right hand with his left as he reached with his right hand and brushed away some of her golden locks as he spoke, "You do realize we have to resort back into our perfect solider mode?"
Serena gave him a nod as she stared at his face, memorizing every small detail from the way he looked at her as if she was the only thing in the world, to his defined jaw. "I know." She placed her left hand on his right cheek, "I now have a reason to fight." She said and walked back into his room to change into her clothes from the night before.
