Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, and I'm not really sure offhand who does, Bandai or something but the credit for the characters goes entirely to them *Sniff * Now if you are quite finished dashing my dreams you and reminding me that it doesn't belong to me you can go ahead and read this fic while I go cry in a corner. *Sob * I'm okay now. ^_^ Really.
She was lying on the softest surface imaginable, her body pressing into the yielding surface that made her feel as if she were floating on clouds. The sound of a bird twittering made her brows draw together. Wait a minute; there aren't any birds that sound like that in the Sanc Kingdom. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was in the clearing of a forest. She stared at the gorgeous scene trying to take it all in. She held her breath as she noticed a white shape slipping among the trees like a ghost until it reached the edge of the clearing where it stared back at the human female that was lying on the bed draped with white material softer than silk and finer than gossamer. She let her breath out slowly as she stared at the unicorn. It continued to watch her until a slight noise caused it to jerk its head to the sound and fade back into the surrounding forest. Relena turned toward the sound as well, her breath catching when she caught sight of the intruder.
Heero? Is this a dream? He walked toward her wearing a pure white suit, keeping his intense blue eyes focused solely on her. As he approached the bedside he gently placed the tray he carried down beside her on the bed before kneeling next to the bed, never taking his eyes off of her as he reached for the coffee and calmly poured the steaming black liquid into a cup…
??????? Relena turned toward the sound as well, her breath catching when she caught sight of the intruder. He walked toward her wearing a pure white suit without a jacket, keeping his intense blue eyes focused solely on her. What on Earth? This has to be a dream. She could see the shirt stretch over the muscles in his shoulders and arms as he approached the bedside gently placed the tray he carried down beside the bed before sitting down next to her on the bed, never taking his eyes off of her as he reached for the bowl of strawberries topped with a rich whipped cream and smoothly offered the bowl to her…
Relena turned toward the sound as well, her breath catching when she caught sight of the intruder. He walked toward her wearing a pure white suit without a jacket and an open shirt, keeping his intense blue eyes focused solely on her. Oh dear God, please don't let me wake up. She could see the hard planes of his stomach where his shirt shifted open as he walked to her. Even with the loose garment she could see the shirt stretch over his shoulders and arms as he approached the bedside gently placed the tray he carried down beside the bed before sitting down next to her on the bed, never taking his eyes off of her as he reached for the bowl of strawberries topped with a rich whipped cream and quietly raised a juicy strawberry to her lips…
Relena turned toward the sound as well, her breath catching in a small gasp when she caught sight of the intruder. He walked toward her wearing a pure white pants without a jacket or shirt, keeping his intense blue eyes focused solely on her. Wait, I take it back! NOW I don't want to wake up. She could see the hard planes of his stomach and had a difficult time looking away from his broad chest that led to his narrow hips as he walked to her. She stared at the play of muscle in his shoulders as he approached the bedside and gently placed the tray with a single red rose laying across it on the other side of her before sitting down next to her on the bed, never taking his eyes off of her as he reached out a hand and gently cupped her cheek with his palm. Then tenderly smiling at her he leaned closer. Just when his lips were about to brush hers for the first time…
"Relena! Rise and shine, there's a lot to do today. You have meeting with the representative from colony L-1 at lunch and you're going to be needed at the conference that's going to begi-" her brother was unable to finish his statement because Relena had her hands around his throat and was shaking him as she tightened her hold, not caring that his face was starting to turn the same shade as his old Oz uniform. She didn't realize what she was doing until she felt his hands grabbing at her wrists. She quickly released her hold and he fell back gasping for air.
"Oh! I'm so sorry Milli, I was dreaming and I didn't know it was you!"
She also didn't notice that a certain pilot had entered as soon as he heard the start of the commotion, his slightly widening eyes the only outward sign of his shock at finding the world's leading peacekeeper trying to throttle her brother who was trying to wake her up to attend an important peace conference. Heero was too surprised to intervene; besides he wasn't paid to protect Zechs. He saw her lake blue eyes focus on Zechs and realization dawn in their depths as she quickly released her brother. He slipped out of the room before they could take notice of him, having a hard time containing the chuckle that threatened to escape as he heard her apologize and weakly offer that she had been dreaming. 'Must have been some dream,' he thought, his lips twitching slightly. Little did he know…
~Later that day~
Hilde, Sally, Dorothy, and Catherine all leaned forward in breathless suspense while Relena told them about her replaying dream. "He put his hand against my cheek and his touch was so gentle," she rhapsodized with a dreamy (AN: No pun intended. Okay maybe it was. But just a bit.) look on her face.
"And then what?" they all demanded at the same time, their eyes widening eagerly.
"I don't know," she muttered in a mournful voice, "Milliardo woke me up."
"What?!" screeched Catherine.
"That BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Hilde. Sally stared at her in horrified sympathy while Dorothy jumped up from the chair and stormed off in search of the offending ex-pilot. Relena was gratified by her companions' reactions, but she thought it best not to allow them to kill her only blood relative so she set about calming them all down.
Dorothy meanwhile had cornered the poor man in his study where he had been discussing the new defense system with the Gundam pilots. All of them took one look at her glittering eyes and moved out of the way, as any intelligent male will do when faced with the righteous anger of a female whose delight in a good gossip session has been ruined by the man that stands on the other side of himself. They stood there watching as she marched over to Zechs and began to rip into him for his inconsiderate behavior toward Relena and the subsequent ruin of a marvelous dream that morning.
She was waving her arms around as she started screaming at him, and Quatre quickly ran out of the room thankful that she wasn't holding a knife when she first came in as the rest of the guys except for Heero shrunk away from the enraged female. "How could you be so cruel?! Really, that dream was getting better than my daily soaps and you just had to come along and screw it up, and right when it was getting to the best part! Honestly it went a bit farther each time, just one more time! You are not to disturb Relena until is already awake from now on do you understand me? Honestly do you know how painful that is?" she clutched her heart dramatically, "Oh! I think I need some chocolate!" And with that she stomped out the room, glaring at the remaining Gundam pilots who quickly moved out of her way as she went in search of her private stash.
"Would that dream be the same one that had Relena choking you this morning Zechs?" Heero asked in the sudden silence that followed her passage. Duo immediately perked up, "What?!!!!! Relena was choking Zechs and Dorothy was ready to bring the house down around our ears because this dream was interrupted?! Man I smell a story. Who wants to help me find out about this dream?" He was rubbing his hands together gleefully.
"Well when put that way, it does seem as if it could be important to find out, baka" Wufei conceded thoughtfully.
"Wow," was all Trowa could think to say. Heero just resumed his blank statement and waited to see what everyone else decided to do. Zechs was still cringing in his chair…
~bum buh bum!~
Will Duo get to the bottom of this secret dream and if so how will Heero react?
Will Relena find out how the dream ends? And will Zechs survive the Gundam
girls' displeasure? Find out next time.
