~*The Common Cold*~
Chapter Two

He couldn?t believe it. He, the perfect soldier, was getting his ass kicked by a cold. Heero groaned inwardly.

?Well,? Ann Marie began, ?now that you know what is wrong with you, does that make you feel better??

Heero glared at her. How he wanted to punch her, but if he did he probably wouldn?t have enough energy to get back on his feet.

?Heero.?

Heero turned to the door, and was confronted with the presence of Relena. She was wearing a lavender dress that reached her knees, her hair was in a ponytail, and her skin was as white as snow. Heero wasn?t sure why, but all of a sudden he became very dizzy again. He just assumed that it was because of his fever, and not the fact that Relena was only a few feet away from him.

?Heero, I?m so glad you?re ok. I was so worried about you.?

Relena continued to walk into the room, going towards the bed that Heero was in. She missed him so much, and now he was here, in her house. For a year after the war she searched everywhere for him, and when she found him, he left her with a threat: ?Don?t ever try to find me again, or I may not be able to stop the consequences.? Since that day she was only able to wonder if Heero was alright. In her heart she knew he wasn?t. The look in his eyes when he told her to stay away said it all, and the look in his eyes now continued to scream for help.

?Heero! What are you doing??

?I?m getting out of here,? he didn?t care if he was too weak and sick to leave and he didn?t care about the pain anymore, all he wanted to do was get out of the house and get away from Relena. He was determined once and for all to get her out of his life.

?You can?t leave Heero. You?re not well enough, and besides??

?Of course I?m going to leave. Why the hell would I stay here??

?I?m not going to let you leave here in your state and then most likely get yourself killed.?

?What happens to me is my business, not yours.?

?Well getting you better is now my business!?

Both Relena and Heero glared at each other, neither wanting to look away because that would mean the other person won. Ann Marie was still in the room, too afraid to really say anything. She just continued to look at the two. She took in a deep breath and decided to try to ease the tension in the room.

?Ahem?well I guess I?ll just?? She looked around to see what she could do, then spotted work. ??I?ll just go and make this gentlemen some dinner. Chicken soup should do the trick.?

Without looking away from Heero, Relena thanked Mrs. Johnson.

?No thanks is necessary. I will start that meal now.? Mrs. Johnson left the room as quietly as she could. She knew when a storm was about to start and the look and both Heero?s and Relena?s eyes told her that some feelings were about to get hurt.

Relena sighed. ?When she comes back please eat something, you?re not well.? Heero said nothing and using his silence she asked him the question that was on her mind.

?Why were you in the forest??

Heero?s eyes flashed shame for only a second before he looked down to the carpeted floor, unable to tell Relena that he was there hoping death would take him. Instead Death decided to play a cruel joke on him and brought Relena in his path.

All Heero could do was lay back down on the bed and cross his arms. Relena just kept staring at him, hoping he would say something. When she realized that she would have to be the one who started to talk she decided to ask him questions.

?Where have you been all this time??

Silence.

?Why won?t you answer my question? Did something happen? Is that what is wrong with you? Why won?t you even speak to me? You won?t even acknowledge me.?

?Get out.?

?What??

?I said get out.?

Relena balled her hands into fists in either side of her body. ?I will not leave.?

?GET OUT!? Heero yelled, though he wished that his voice sounded stronger then it did.

?Don?t you yell at me. I have done everything to make sure that you would get well.?

?I didn?t ask for any of it. And I sure as hell didn?t ask you to take me here.?

?No you couldn?t because you were passed out in front of a tree.?

?You should have just left me there.?

?And let you die.?

?Yes! What is going on with me is none of you business and will never be your business. You should have just walked away. I would have taken care of everything.?

Relena looked at Heero, not sure of what he meant. ?What do you mean ?you would have taken care of everything???

?Can?t you see that I don?t want to be here, I don?t want to be anywhere near you. I told you before to stay away from me, but it seems like you think that that statement doesn?t apply now. Well let me clear up your confusion and tell once and for all, stay the hell away from me!?

Relena wanted to say so much more, but realized right now was not the best time to try to break his shell. She left the room frustrated at Heero and at herself. She should have known he would object to him staying here, but she didn?t think that he would be so cruel. She was so concern about what she wanted she didn?t look at the whole picture. He never wanted to be anywhere near her, and most likely never even liked her, even as a friend, even as an enemy. She knew that she couldn?t have just left him in the rain, but she should have been able to control the situation much better, she should have been able to control her emotions better something she was never good at. And now her one true dream was destroyed by the same man that created them. Though Heero would stay, she felt like she had just been defeated?by herself.

Heero was glad that Relena had finally left. When he was around her he always felt defensive. She brought on a feeling that he didn?t know and didn?t want to know. He couldn?t even admit to himself that the reason why he didn?t wan to know was because he was afraid of what it may mean. He knew it was pointless anyway. Death would be his comfort, not Relena.

With that horrible thought Heero drifted off to sleep.



A/N: I?m starting to think I?m not a good person to do chapter stories. I probably should stick with one-shots. But I can never stop something before it is finished so on with the story even if it?s so-so.
