Spill Secrets, PG

[Lady Saffir]

Here's a little something that snuck up on me. I was watching the last 4 eps, and Quatre's little comment about giving them alone time kicked the muse into gear. Enjoy this little bit of silliness.

LS

Hopefully I'll have the next Dark World out by the end of the weekend.

"You mean he went after that girl? Why?" Duo paced the breakroom, confusion written on his features.

"She must be pretty special to influence a guy like Heero," Trowa acknowledged, calmly flipping the pages of his book.

Duo looked up, arms crossed over his chest. "Yeah, but shouldn't we be going to back him up or something?"

Quatre snickered, drawing the attention of the other three pilots to himself. "Oh, I think he'll be fine. Besides, we should let them have a little alone time together." Suddenly aware of the looks he was receiving, the blonde pilot struggled to look innocent. "What?"

"Alright, Quatre, spill. You can't say something like that and not tell us anything else," Duo pleaded, spinning a chair around to sit next to his comrade. "This is HEERO we're talking about - why in the world would the man need alone time with a girl? He probably doesn't even realize she IS a girl," Duo muttered.

Quatre laughed. "Oh, he realizes she's a girl, alright. Why do you think we ended up in the Sanq Kingdom, anyway? And we didn't stay for two weeks because Heero felt like we could be learning something."

By now Trowa and Wufei were also sitting at the table, all ears for this new bit of information on the normally secretive pilot.

"Quatre, you're blushing," Trowa observed. "What aren't you telling us."

"No, I couldn't...."

Quatre's protest was cut off by Duo.

"You've already told us this much - might as well finish the story."

It was only a token struggle for Quatre. He had been dying to tell SOMEONE what he had witnessed, and given that Heero wasn't likely to walk in within the next while, he had plenty of time to spill everything.

"Fine, I'll tell you. I was in the music room, and I happened to be looking towards the forest. And, well...they were walking down one of the paths and stopped. I thought they were arguing and was about to leave to break it up, when Heero just grabbed her and kissed her."

"What?" Wufei sputtered.

"What kind of kiss?" Trowa questioned.

"Yeah - was it a peck on the cheek, or what?" Duo asked, tilting his chair back.

Quatre grinned wickedly. "Well, all I can say is they both must be able to swim under water for long distances."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hours later, Heero remained blissfully unaware of the conversation that had taken place just prior to the final battle starting. He had seen Relena to safety, and trusted that Sally would keep her well until he could return - if he returned. He was prepared to die to make sure her peace became a reality, but on the whole, he was rather hoping to live and return to her side.

Heero was flying through Libra, intent on facing Zechs, when his com-link crackled to life.

"I didn't know you had it in you, buddy," Duo said in way of greeting.

"What are you talking about, Duo?"

"Why, you and the princess. Man, only you could find a girlfriend in the middle of a war."

"What?!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The com-link on MO-2 sudden buzzed to life, Zechs' incredulous, "What?!" echoing through the room. Everyone's head turned to look at the communications officer, who just shrugged.

"Don't ask me, one of the Gundam pilots opened the link up."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What?!"

Zech's cry had Heero wishing he could strangle the braided idiot.

"Yuy, what the hell are you doing laying hands on my sister?"

"Heero and Relena, sitting on Libra, k-i-s-s-i-n-g," Duo sang, making Heero grit his teeth and bringing a yell out of Zechs.

"Duo...."

"Duo, you shouldn't tease him at a time like this," Trowa interupted. Unseen, Heero nodded, thanking Trowa silently for taking his side. And how the hell had that idiot found out about Relena? Trowa continued to speak, snapping Heero back to the conversation.

"But really, Heero, you should have told us. We would have tried to delay this a little longer so you two could have some more time."

Heero clenched his teeth, mind racing, not even paying attention to the destruction he was causing. How....

"Quatre!" Heero barked.

"I'm sorry, Heero! They made me tell them!"

"Oh, please. You were dying to tell us about that time in the Sanq Kingdom," Wufei interupted.

~~~~~~~~~~

On MO-2, Relena stared, mortified, at the screen where the battle commenced. At Wufei's statement, she blushed and dropped her head, feeling every stare in the command room on her.

"It isn't what it sounds like," she explained weakly to Une and Sally, who were both trying to hide smiles.

~~~~~~~~~

"What?! Damnit, Quatre, were you spying on me?"

"No, it wasn't like that, Heero! You two were just there, and I just happened to be looking in that direction...."

~~~~~~~~~

"Oh. my. god," Relena groaned, covering her face with her hands. A warm hand on her shoulder had her looking up at a smiling Sally.

"It's okay, Relena. Besides, this is Heero we're talking about. You'd have to be dead to be able to resist that boy."

Relena groaned again, sure her cheeks were going to be red for the rest of her life.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Quatre....."

"So, Heero, buddy, when's the wedding? You are going to invite all of us, right?"

"Duo...."

"We'll need to get you cleaned up a bit, first, Heero. Definitely a hair cut."

"Trowa...."

"Hmph. Getting married at such a young age is a bad idea."

"Wufei...."

"I'm more than happy to lend you two one of the Winner summer homes for your honeymoon."

"Damnit, Quatre...."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Relena could not believe her ears. Here they were, in the middle of a battle to save both the earth and colonies...and her love life was being discussed.

It had to stop.

Striding over the the communications console, she ignored the officer, leaning over to hit the button that would let her talk to the Gundams.

~~~~~~~~

"Damnit, can we focus on stopping Libra before we start discussing my personal life?" Heero growled, taking aim at a large chunk of falling debris. His com crackled once again, and he groaned, wondering now who was going to stick their nose in his business.

"Yes, I would appreciate it very much if mine and Heero's personal life wasn't discussed over an open com channel."

Wing Zero actually faltered for a moment as Heero's hands fell from the controls. What did she mean, open com channel? This should have just been between the Gundams.

"Hey, princess! I get dibs on best man!"

Heero's mind stuttered back to life, focusing on what Relena had said.

"Relena...what do you mean this is over an open com channel?" he barked.

"One of you - and I don't know which one, but I can guess - spliced into MO-2's communications center. And in doing so, also spliced into the main feed that is going to the colonies, the earth, and anyone with a functioning com."

"Sorry, that was me. I guess I hit the wrong button." Trowa's admission had the other four Gundams turning to look at him.

"Whatever. I don't have time to deal with this," Heero growled, shooting off in to space to deal with the remaining of chunk of Libra.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Relena sighed, letting her head drop forward. There were going to be copies of this playing on every channel for a very long time, she knew. Which meant Heero would probably be scared away.

"Sorry, Relena. I didn't mean for everyone to hear, just you," Trowa stated. "I'll make sure he doesn't leave without talking to you."

Relena just sighed again, shaking her head.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Heero brought Zero to a rest inside the main cargo bay of MO-2. He could see the other four Gundam pilots as well as Noin doing the same. He sighed, switching the main camera feed to the crowd gathering below. She was there, and his heart jumped in to his throat remembering everything that had been said. He'd have to remember to get payback on his fellow pilots.

Alighting from the lift cable, he was faintly aware of his friends falling in behind him, of the crowd that cheered victory. He had tunnel vision though, and the only thing he could truly focus on was Relena, standing there calmly.

He stopped before her, each regarding the other, each having things they desperately wanted to say. The crowd had grown silent, awaiting what would come next.

"Oh, the hell with it," Heero growled, snaking one arm out lightening quick to pull a startled Relena to him. "Everyone already knows anyway."

With that, he pulled her closer, angling her head up so that their lips could meet, and proceeded to prove what Quatre had said - they were both able to hold their breath for a very long time.
