Finally Focused

By Siobahnne Tyler

Based on the characters of Gundam Wing

Disclaimer: All of these characters except for the waitress belong to the actual people that made gundam wing. I don’t own them, I never had and sadly never will. There is a hint of lime in here…for those of you who don’t like the HY x RP pairing…sorry, please don’t flame me. Anywho…hope ya enjoy…I’m not making any money off this fic…don’y sue I blew all my money on anime and I’m broke anyways. Also…this is a bit weird because I wrote this before I watched the entire gundam wing series and it’s my first fic so please bear with me.

"Why can't I kill you Relena?"Heero questioned himself. "I know I need to but something won't let me. What the hell is wrong with me?!"

"Hey buddy, you say something?" Duo asked with a mischevious grin.

Heero rolled his eyes pretending annoyance rather than giving in to the grin threatening to appear on his face. "No nothing."

"Yeah right. Sorry to tell you but man, you got something on you mind. Want to talk about it?" Duo asked and then he pondered a moment, "Wait a minute, let me guess. It's got something to do with that gorgeous blond chick thats been following you. Whats her name? Raly, Reli, Rena....."

"Its Relena," Heero corrected with a growl, "and don't talk about her as if she's some slut or-"

"Oooooooooh, protective," Duo teased, cutting of the last part of Heero's sentence, " So, tell me about it."

"Why should I?"

"Oh I don't know......so you can think straight, quit talking to yourself. So you can sleep at night, you choose which reason. You think I haven't noticed you wandering around this place at 2am in the morning? I'm a light sleeper, I can hear you leave your room in the middle of the night. I mean come on, you've got circles under your eyes man. What have you got to loose?" Duo challenged

"My pride," Heero answered as he stalked off.

* * *

"Yo, Quatre my man. We got a problem to fix!" Duo shouted to his friend.

"Alright, sit down and join me in a cup of tea," Quatre invited with a smile.

Duo sat down on a mat across from quatre and accepted a cup of tea. He savored the taste of his favorite Earl Grey tea and sighed with pleasure.

"So whats the problem we need to fix?" Quatre asked, breaking the peaceful silence.

"What.....Oh yeah. Um, well....Heero's got a problem," Duo answered.

"Go on."

"Well you know that blond chick....um...uh....Relena. Yeah that's it, Relena. Anyways, you know how she seems to be following Heero and all," Duo paused recieving a nod from Quatre, "Well, he doesn't seem to relize it, but man, hes got it bad for her. I mean come on, he actually smiles and shows that unknown compassion when she's around. He has totally, undeniably, completely fallen for that chick to the point where he's loosing sleep!" Duo exclaimed.

Quatre chuckled and gave a small grin. "You know what Dou? I think your right. I've noticed him walking aroung the pent house at ungodly hours of the morning. Guess that explains his early morning grouchiness."

"Hey guys." Duo and Quatre looked up to see Trowa standing in the doorway.

"Hello Trowa, come have some tea with me and Duo. Perhaps you'll know how to fix our problem."

Trowa silently agreed and sat down with the other two gundam pilots. "Whats the problem?"

"Heero's got it bad for Relena,"Duo answered simply.

"Oh yeah. The hot blond. I was wondering why he seemed to get soft around her"

"Yeah, well thats not the least of it. He can't think straight, he keeps mumbling to himself and he's loosing sleep. All that for some chick!" Duo exclaimed as if it was some big surprise.

"All over some chick," Trowa repeated to himself.

"Some hot chick," Duo emphazised

The group chuckled and they all took some sips of their tea.

"So what we gonna do about Heero's problem?" Duo asked, again breaking the silence with his all-too well known big mouth.

"Set them up," Trowa said as if it was the most obvious solution.

"Yeah but the question is how," Quatre added.

They all looked at each other and then simultaneously agreed. "Wu Fei."

* * *

Relena held the picture of her non-biological parents close to her heart. Looking down at her fathers face almost brought tears to her eyes but she bravely fought them.

"Oh father, whats wrong with me? I fell in love with a man that thinks he has to kill me. How much more stupid could I get. He can't kill me though can he?.........he feels it too,"with that spark of hope burried deap in her mind Relena slipped on a short spagetti strapped sundress and pulled her hair back in a loose bun, all very different from how she used to be. "Lifes changing, I must change with it," she said aloud as if it would automatically justify her actions. Barefoot she climbed out her bedroom window on the 2nd floor and took off down the street.

'I wonder what Heero's doing now," Relena wondered aloud., then she smiled, "Probably giving the others hell and being mean enough to make the devil seem like Cinderella." She headed down toward the beach and she sat down letting the tide dance along the sides of her feet. She breathed in the salty air and thought about all that had happened. She was a Peacecraft, not a Dorlian. "Relena Peacecraft.......has a ring to it," she said aloud, no one but the wind to listen.

"Relena Yuy," she said, tracing the words in the sand with her careful yet graceful script. She then stood up and kicked at the sand. "Damn you world, you take away my father and my past!" she shouted. "I know your out there Heero. You can come but you'll never kill me because like it or not, you know you care!"

She scrambled up the beach, the wind pulling her hair from the bun at the nape of her neck.. She quickly climbed back through her window and prepared herself to endure another night of tortured sleep.

* * *

Heero quietly rolled out of bed and climbed out the window, jumping 4 stories to the ground. Can't sleep again, he thought to himself. Damn Relena! She was haunting his dreams. He kept picturing her, hurt and alone. She no longer had her father, he had been unjustly killed. He knew why but he wanted all the information. He headed through the woods till he reached his gundam and computer. He sat down and charged up his labtop but he couldn't concentrate. His dreams had filled his mind with pictures to feast on and it was turning out to be painfully distracting. He again damned Relena for coming into his life and turning things upside down.

--------------------------------------Later-----------------------------------------------------------

"Whoa man you got to be kidding me!" duo exclaimed looking just as surprised as the other gundam pilots.

"No I'm not. Relena Dorlian is actually Relena Peacecraft," Heero stated.

"But....but that would mean she's Zechs sister. Thats impossible! She was supposadly-"

"Dead," Heero pronounced. "Yes I know. Zech's sister was rumered to have died when his parents did but all along shes been living as Dorlians daughter, thats what she meant when she said she was on our side. She's prepared to fight for whats right, for our cause..........for what her parents wanted."

"This is way to much to learn in one day, I can already feal a headache coming on and this ones gonna be a doosy!" Duo complained rubbing his temples.

"This is bad news for her too, once people find out her lifes going to be at stake more than it already is," Quatre said sincerely.

"Yeah, but if shes on our side we can't let her die, one of us has got to protect her," Trowa explained, an unusual evil glint tinting his eyes.

All at once duo, Wu Fei, Trowa and Quatre looked at Heero. "Have fun man and good luck!" Duo said and with that they left the room leaving an extremely stunned Heero all alone to curse the world.

* * *

Relena rolled over again. she was getting quite sick and tired of tossing and turning all night but Heero haunted her dreams.

"Ugh....why can't I sleep?" she asked in disgust, punching her pillow in an effort to find comfort. "Damn, damn, damn!Why me?" I just had to fall for an incredibly hot gundam pilot with his mind set on killing me, didn't I?" she again punched her pillow and in frustration she then chucked it across the room. She kicked back the blankets in a final attempt for comfort and then she payed her head down praying for sleep.

* * *

"Duo, why the hell do i have to play babysitter?" Heero asked with an angry growl.

"Isn't it obvious? You fell for her bad man. Now all ya need is a little push," he answered.

"Why don't you just stay the fuck out of my so-called love life and find your own dammit!"

"You know....you really shouldn't ask the obvious. Your love life's just so much more interesting than mine at the moment."

Heero grabbed the front of Duo's shirt and lifted him in the air. "You had better butt your ass out my business now or else!"

"Okay, okay but i still think alls you need is this little babysitting job," Duo said holding up his ahands in feighned defeat and chuckling.

"Yeah whatever, go away why don't ya," Heero sneared practically throwing Duo down.

"Have fun!" Duo called as he walked away.

"I might as well get this done and over with," he mumbled to himself. He climbed out his bedroom window, cursing the fact that in this large penthouse they had finally bought, there were no more than 5 bedrooms. He pulled out his keys and climbed into the shiny red sports car he had recently purchased. He sped down the road and later stopped at the Dorlian mansion.

------------------------------Later-------------------------------------------------------------------

Relena opened her eyes. She had heard a noise. She sat up slightly and gasped when she saw a shadowed figure sitting at the chair to her desk. The figure stood up, moving toward her

"Hello Relena Peacecraft, it is Peacecraft is it not?" Heero asked stopping inches from her face. "Heero it's you!" Relena exclaimed throwing her arms aroungd his neck, "I thought it was someone trying to kill me like they did my father!"

Heero gently set Relena back onto her bed using the darkness to hide his embaressment as he took in how Relena looked. She was wearing a green silk night dress that had started to slip off her shoulder. Her hair was wild and flowign about her face.

Relena saw how Heero was gawking at her and grabbed her blankets in a desperate attempt to cover herself. Heero chuckled at her innocence and he roughly pulled her up, inches from his face.

"Are you afraid of me Relena?" He asked with a devlish grin.

Oh, of course not, you only want to kill-"

He quickly cut her off as his mouth melded with hers. Relena stiffened at first then relaxed, all to glad to sieze the moment. His hand held a firm hold on the back of her head as he dipped his tongue between her lips to taste the secrets they held. Her arms entangled themselves around his neck as they fell back on a mess of pillows and blankets.

Suddenly heero pulled back, his heart pounding. Relena gasped for breath as she let go of the blankets she had clutched in her hands.

"What was that for?" she asked, her eyes daring him to answer.

Heero ignored the question completely. "Pack clothing and a few other things, we're leaving tonight."

"What?"

"Your a Peacecraft goddammit and if we know than other people sure as hell know! Your considered a threat to some Relena but your on the gundam's side which means we can't let you die. Right a note to your mother telling her you'll be safe and that if anything happens she'll be informed," he ordered.

Relena quickly jumped from her bed and wrote the note for her mother. Then she packed her clothes and some other necessities. finally she want into the bathroom and changed, coming out wearing a loose tank top that bared her midrift and a pair of hip hugging flair jeans. she sat down quickly slipping on a pair of sneakers and combing through her hair with her fingers.

"I'm ready to go Heero."

"Good." He slung Relena's bag over his shoulder and jumped out her window.

Relena took one last look around her room and then followed Heero's lead.

* * *

"So Quatre how do you think Heero's surviving?" Duo asked.

"Probably the same as always," Quatre answered.

"In other words he's tight lipped and moody," Trowa offered to the discussion.

"He'll be fine, he just needs a little push that's all," Wu Fei stated.

"Yeah, sure, just what he needs. Other than the fact that his tumble in the sheets may mean our deaths," Duo joked.

The group was laughing simultaneously as their waitress appeared at their table. She was petite with platinum blond hair in a long braid down to her knees. Her big, bright blue eyes highlighted her entire face. She had an animated smile on her face that brought the light to her eyes.

"Can I take your order fellas?"

Duo looked up into the most beautiful blue eyes he had ever seen. He quickly reminded himself to breathe as he cleared his throat. "Um yeah, well I'll have the double cheeseburger, 2 large fries and a vanilla shake."

Quatre, Trowa and Wu Fei all ordered and duo admired the waitresses swaying hips as she walked away. They all ate in peace, discussing how Heero and Relena were prabably fairing. All 4 of them agreed that they were probably enjoying the giant king size bed in Heero's room.

"So what do ya say, should we stay out for a night on the town and leave Heero and Relena to fend for themselves?" Duo asked and he got nods of agreement from the others in response. "Right, then I'll pay and meet you all outside."

"Yeah right! You just want to talk to that hot waitress," Trowa teased.

"Shut up."

"Oooh, touchy," Trowa said walking outside to join Quatre and Wu Fei.

Duo walked to the register with his money ready. He handed it to the pretty blond and she smiled,"Good evening sir, i hope you had a nice meal."

"Yep, sure did," Duo paused," Ma'am would you find it incredibly bold if Iasked your name?"

"Nope, it's Litonya, whats yours?" she asked.

"Well Litonya, Duos the name and adventures the game," he answered smoothly.

Litonya giggled as she handed Duo his change. "Well it's nice to meet you Duo," she said holding out her hand for a farewell handshake.

Duo lightly grasped her hand and kissed the knuckles instead, his eyes raised in order to see her blush. He released her hand and tipped his hat to her. "The pleasure, Litonya, is all mine."

Duo walked out the door, leaving the lovely litonya to stare at her hand in wonder.

"So how'd it go?" Trowa asked as soon as Duo caught up with the rest of them.

"What?" Duo asked, a little embaressed to be caught with his mind adrift.

"With the waitress you dumbass!"

"Oh, with Litonya. Um..yeah, everythings great," he answered. The other three just smiled.

"Well anyways, how 'bout some pizza!" Duo said enthusiastically. The others groaned and followed his lead.

"Typical american," Wu fei muttered to himself.

* * *

Heero flicked the lights on as he walked through the pent house, Relena following, and headed toward his room. When they entered his room Heero set Relena's bag down on the couch and turned to face her.

"Relena, here's how it's going to work. The bathrooms over there, if you need a shower or whatever girls need to do go ahead. You take the bed and i'll take the couch and feel free to raid the fridge," Heero explained.

"Heero, I can't possibly take your bed, I'll take the couch," she said.

"Fine, whatever." With that he walked off.

-------------------------------------Later------------------------------------------------------------

"Smooth move Relena," she muttered to herself. "Always have to be polite, always looking a gift horse in the mouth. If you hadn't you could be sleeping on a nice big bed, not a couch."

Relena looked over to where Heero was sleeping and again she cursed herself.She stood up and walked to the bathroom, splashing water on her face in a desperate attempt to settle her nerves. Then an idea occured to her. "What the hell, why not," she said to herself. "It's king size, big enough to share."

She walked out of the bathroom and quietly walked over to the bed. Carefully she lifted back the comforter and slid underneath it. Putting her head back she closed her eyes.

"Didn't your mother tell you your too young to be sleeping in a man's bed," a gruff voice said as someone dragged her over. Relena opened her eyes to see Heero leaning over her.

"Why you bastard!" she shouted, pulling at her wrists and making an attempt to sit up. "Let go of me dammit!"

"Relena, indulge me please and tell me why the hell you were slipping into my bed," Heero growled.

"I thought you were sleeping! And I couldn't sleep because I wasn't comfortable so I thought since it was a big bed it wouldn't hurt any!" she said in her deffense,"God! Why do you have to be so mean?"

"Because you little hellcat, thanks to you I haven't been able to sleep for weeks. Oh, I tried, but I kept seeing your goddamn face. It invaded my mind and dreams all because I have this peculiar feeling that I'm in love with you and I have no damn idea how to handle the emotions your making me feel," he said, baring his soul to her.

"You love me Heero?" Relena asked cautiously, not wanting to ruin the moment.

"I don't know!" He shouted, "but you make me smile and laugh and he make me feel vulnerable and my heads all mixed up an-"

Relena pulled his head down and kissed him. She then pulled back for a second and looked in Heero's eyes. Their gazes locked for a moment of mutual understanding and then Heero's head swooped down to recapture Relena's sweet lips. Heero quickly pulled Relena nighty over her head, releasing her lips for only a second. She entwined her fingers in his hair and willed him to go on. One kiss led to more and soon both had shed any barrier of clothing left. They built up a fire and finally when everything exploaded they dreamily drifted back to earth.

-------------------------------A little while later....---------------------------------------------------

Heero carefully removed his arm from underneath Relena's head. He let his fingers casually travel down her cheek bone and down the side of her neck.

"Heero that tickles," Relena said with a girlish giggle. She snuggled closer and Heeros arms gladly wrapped around her small form.

"Go to sleep Relena," he told her gently, closing his eyes.

"Heero," she whispered.

"Hmmm?"

"I love you."

For the first time in weeks they both fell asleep with peaceful smiles on their faces.

* * *

The other 4 gundam pilots finally sneaked back into the pent house at about 4 in the morning.

"So, do you think the plan worked?" Duo asked.

"Who knows, why don't ya go check," Quatre answered with a little drunken hiccup.

"Right,be--hic--right--hic--back," Duo said, a little on the tipsy side himself.

They all sat down and soon duo came back with a hilarious grin on his face.

"It worked--hic--alright. That is if clothes on the floor, rumpled--hic--sheets, happy looks and snug--hic--gling mean anything. What can I say boys, mission--hic--accomplished.

They all looked at each other and laughed heartily.

* * *

Heero woke up to feather light kisses caressing his forehead. He slowly opened his eyes to see Relena looking down at him. He smiled and pulled her back into his arms.

"I didn't hurt you, did I Relena?" He asked with a worried tone.

"Only for a moment, no need to worry. Though we might want to get up soon because one: we're going to cause suspicions, and two: being nice might ruin your reputation," Relena teased.

Heero pulled the covers over both of them and encaged her in his arms, "Oh well let them wait, right now I just want to hold you," he answered.

Relena sighed happily and layed her head on his bare chest. they both held each other close as they relized that for the first time, and perhaps the last time, in their lives everything was finally focused.

-The End-
