Across The Winds

Chapter 15
Zeros Lost Soul


The next few months were mostly uneventful, with a few exceptions. Sarah was now working full time at the garage, Heero and Hilde progressed their relationship even further, they only needed one room, and of course, one bed. The most significant event was after about 4 months:
“Will you marry me?” Duo looked down in shock. Sarah was lying against him on the couch not looking at him. “Are you? Are you proposing to me?” Duo asked her still recovering from the shock.
“Yeah, will you?” Sarah looked up at him, her red hair fanning out under her on the couch.
“Yeah of course, I mean, well… isn’t that supposed to be my job though?” Sarah shrugged. Duo smiled and began to laugh. “Yeah I’ll marry you, but, only if you kiss me.” Duo looked down at her enthusiastically. Sarah smiled as she leaned up and started to kiss him, enticing him to kiss her back with full force. The door opened as Heero walked in. Duo and Sarah broke quickly, Duo jerking his head up to see who had intruded on their private moment.
“Hey Heero! Guess what?” Duo asked grinning.
“What?” Heero grunted looking down at something or another.
“We’re getting married!” Heero stopped and looked up at his friend.
“That’s good, ‘bout time.” Heero said going back to whatever he was doing.
“What? That’s it? What do you mean about time? I don’t see you and Hilde making wedding plans!” Duo said getting up from the couch.
“That’s because I just picked up the special order ring today.” Heero walked down the hall to his rarely used room. He pulled the small jeweler’s box out of his pocket and opened it to gaze at the ring inside. ‘And I thought saving the world was going to be hard.’ He replaced the ring box in his pocket and made his way to the garage to try and get his mind off things until he can think of a way to go about getting a wife.
“Heero?” Hilde poked her head in the door of the garage. She spotted him and began to walk over to him. His back was turned to her as he leaned over under the hood of a car.
“DAMNIT!” Heero quickly tried to pull himself out of the car, hitting his head on the hood as he pulled out. One hand was up to his face with a finger in his mouth and the other on the back of his head.
“Something wrong?” Heero quickly turned in surprise.
“Hot exhaust manifold.” He stated, letting his hand fall to his side.
“Let me see.” She grabbed his hand and pulled it into the light. It wasn’t to bad, but it needed medical attention. “Come on, we have some gauze in the bathroom.” She led him to the bathroom in the house; Duo and Sarah were nowhere to be found. Heero let Hilde treat his injury in silence.
Hilde looked up at him as she felt his gaze on her. “What?” Heero bent his head down and kissed her, slowly. When they broke, Hilde was out of breath from being caught off guard. “What was that for?”
“For the sake of doing it.” Hilde continues her work on his hand with a smile on her face.
“Heero, why do you think Duo and Sarah are getting married so soon?”
“So soon?”
“Well, what I mean is, they don’t seem to have a very serious relationship, I’m afraid Duo might be making a mistake proposing so soon, I mean, what if she only said yes to make him happy, or in the heat of the moment, not thinking about what she was agreeing to…” Heero held a finger to her lips.
“Sarah proposed to him.” Hilde was baffled.
“You mean to tell me, Duo didn’t propose?” Heero nodded. “Well, I’ll be damned.”
“Have you thought about it at all?”
“What, Duo proposing? No not really.”
“That’s not what I was talking about.”
“Oh, you mean, you and I?” Heero nodded again. “No I guess I haven’t really, I thought about growing up and getting married and settling down, but not us specifically. Do you think we…?”
“I think maybe we should wait before we start getting to far into this conversation.”
“Yeah, you’re right, we have plenty of time to think of such things, besides, I’m no sure I’m ready for that just yet.” Heero fingered the box in his pocket.
‘I can wait, I will wait, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.’ Heero thought to himself.
