"Sea of Stars"
A Gundam Wing Story
by Trekkiexb5
Category: Drama, Romance
Couples: 1xR, 2xH--the normal match-ups
Rating: R for language. Heero has a potty mouth and so does Zechs. It's a bit lime-y in parts, too.
Caution: part of this story is about rape, though it is really never described in detail.
Posting: I'm posting at fanfiction.net and at blissfulignorance.com, but anyone can post it, as long as my name stays attached. AND you write me and tell me how bad (or good) it was.
Summary: Relena told him to get a life, so he did, of sorts. Now, it?s her turn. But the past often shows it's ugly head at the worst of times. Are they ready to handle a past when they are just getting grips with the Present?
Gundam Wing isn't mine. If it was, you would be watching this, not reading it.
Author's notes: Awwww Heck!! Just read the end!

"Sea of Stars"
Chapter 10
Stormfront
It was bliss. Forty-eight hours of bliss, not contentment, but bliss. We didn't leave the hotel room. Hell, we rarely left the bed. And the only things we managed to accomplish is make use of all the hotel furniture, NOT breaking the bed, and undoing all the sleep we had the first night.
Ok, it was a little less that forty-eight hours. We thought it be a moral responsibility to visit Mary in the hospital. After all, we were her friends.
And I...I was a very happy Perfect Soldier.
Needed to put that out.
The fact I had a hell of a lot of work was the only reason I not walking around the harbor with one of those 'I just got laid' grins. I know about those grins. Duo uses them a lot. Actually, all the time. Actually there was a lot work to do, I wasn?t making that up. But...
She's staying.
There is a god.
We spent the first bright beautiful day scrubbing the dirt and filth on the lower deck. We pulled up all the ruined furniture and carpet. Then, armed with scrub brushes, buckets, a water hose, mops, biodegradable nature-friendly soap, and, most importantly, a radio, we set to scrub this wonderful day away.
Did I tell you I was feeling pretty blissful?
Even Dave couldn?t ruin my good mood. He came over with lunch and his usual acid comments. I guess Anton got sick of him and he came over to torture us. It didn?t matter; his foul mood had absolutely no effect on mine.
Not one bit. Nada. Zip.
I like cloud being on cloud nine. I plan on getting season tickets.
Ok, his parting remark about how somebody just got laid made me a little upset but Relena laughed so I let it slide. After all, he did feed us.
She was wearing a pair of my swimming trunks and, get this, my old green tank top. Where she found it, I don?t know. Hell, I'm glad she did, though. Because she looks better in it than I did. Especially braless.
Laughing and braless.
Down, Heero. Work.
I watched her scrub, occasionally blowing her bangs out of the way. I resumed my scrubbing and singing once in a while to the songs on the radio, much to Relena's amusement. Soon the lower deck was looking less filthy and more like the clean ship I would normally have.
However, as much as Relena looked good in my clothes, we really needed to do laundry.
The problem was the laundry mat on the island (All three of them) were crowded by stranded sailors. And we couldn?t use the on the ship in harbor. No sewer lines. We were lucky they were letting us use the bilge pumps.
We tried to do laundry last night after we...emerged, but we couldn?t get a machine. She was wearing my clothes and washing her undergarments in the sink at the hotel. At this rate, I was going to run out of clothes.
Pondering these heavy problems while attacking the cabin bulkheads with a sponge, I head a voice.
"Heero?" It was Howard.
"Down here,? I called, dropping the brush on the deck. A spry elderly man wearing khaki shorts and a very...loud...Hawaiian shirt slid down the ladder rails to the lower deck.
He pulled his sunglasses to his balding head. He whistled. "Wow, hell of a lot of damage!"
"The hull got punctured," I told him flat out.
He shrugged. "I'm not surprised. They weather service measured the winds at about 140 mph. Frankly, I'm surprised it?s still in one piece."
I refused to have my good humor dampened. Remember, bliss. "Did you get my list?"
"Yeah,? He answered, not at all perturbed. "There's a guy in New Zealand, who made the original furniture. He some raw wood versions of it. My crew stained and sealed on the way here. I do have some extra carpeting leftover from when it was built, but I dunno if it?s enough. A slew of masts are on a barge heading over here. They said they would be here in a couple of days." He grinned. "I made sure he put a couple of American Live Oaks on it."
Excellent. Only the best for my 'baby.' "Electronic equipment? A new engine?"
"Yup, even the extra you asked for. Who's that for?"
"The 'Homa.' They were a great help and they will be assisting with the mast. They wouldn?t take money so I thought I could repay them by upgrading their equipment."
Howard shrugged. "Whatever you want, Heero. Where's the hole?"
I guided him forward. He and Relena exchanged greetings as we past her. I stopped him in front of the chain locker and pointed out the damage.
Gundamium is a funny alloy. It only occurs naturally in those rare asteroids that were 'sun grazers,' the sun's high heat melted the asteroid?s various metallic components in such a way it became gundamium. Man replicated the process, finding out that very low gees and high pressure were vital in the mixing process. Small holes can be welded on Earth, with the proper equipment, but if the damage was too big...
Howard hemmed and hawed, looking at the damage and the temp repair. That's another thing about Gundamium; that it is considered to be 'living metal.' The flanges that formed when the bow spirit went through were already biting into the wooden plug, trying to return to its original shape. Gundamium had to be 'trained' during the forming process. The result was an extremely strong and very lightweight metal that could resist just about anything because it was 'extremely reluctant' to break.
Hell, that's what my resident experts on the subject, Anton and Howard, told me.
"We can fix it," he announced. I let out the breath I was holding. "It looks like very little is missing. We'll need the ship for about a day for this repair. Another for the paint job and the others."
We agreed he would tow the ship tomorrow to the 'Peacemillion' and even offered the use of his laundry room after he heard of our predicament. Then he bade us goodbye, and left us to our cleaning.
"I guess laundry tomorrow,? Relena mused, leaning on her long-handled scrub brush.
"hn." Will it take long to do laundry? Maybe not too long, I think. Ideas that I would never even considered in the past started to surface in my mind. Good thoughts.
I?ve never experienced this before. Lust, I have, of course. Despite what my fellow pilots may think, I am a man who has experienced puberty. I just...have ...better control, yes control, over my self unlike others. Relena isn?t my first woman I?ve...been with. She, however, is the first woman I?ve been with that I have wanted ...uhm...continual experiences with. The first that I have dreamed up...scenarios about. The two women before were just...relief for a frustration I tried not to acknowledge.
My thoughts were 'rudely' interrupted by Relena. Smacking my ass. Give her an inch...
...
Don?t go there Heero!
when did I get this bad?
"Get back to work, Heero," She smirked. "I don?t want to be cleaning ALL day."
I swear to god she can read my mind. At least, I hope she is reading my mind. It will make life...easier later.
We cleaned and scrubbed most of the day until the inside of the 'Sea of Stars' gleamed. We hauled all the ruined furniture and other rubbish up to the dock to be hauled away. By evening, the 'Sea of Stars' was ship-shape as much as possible.
We returned to the hotel, tired. And dirty., after stripping, we both climbed into the shower and I proceeded to introduce Relena to one of my...thoughts I had going through my mind this afternoon. She seemed very willing to recreate that 'thought.'
Later, we curled up next to each other, naked and sated under the sheets. She was snoring softly, which I found amusing. I couldn?t stop touching her, even when I was so tired. I couldn?t figure how I got here, in this place, but I was glad that I was and even gladder she reciprocated the interest.
Was this the 'thing' between us? I wasn?t sure of that, though I was hoping it was. But I had a feeling we were missing something. No, I was missing something. And for some reason I felt the dark clouds approaching cloud nine.
The morning brought news of other dark clouds, of the atmospheric type. There was yet another storm heading this way and would reach the island by nightfall.
No rest for the sailors.
Howard's team had already prepped the 'Sea of Stars' for a tow to his ship and was only waiting for us. The 'Peacemillion was parked next to a cruise liner in the deepest part of the harbor opposite us.
Relena and I grabbed all the clothes, sheets, towels and anything else that needed to be washed and piled it on the deck next to my still broken mast while they still towed us. Zero sniffed at the growing mountain of cloth, them with a bark, launched himself into the pile. Clothes flew everywhere.
"Zero, HEY! Knock it off!...ZERO!" Relena yelled at the canine, which only had him stick his head out of the pile, panting and tongue lolling. Relena put her hands on her hips and leaned down at him. "Zero get out, or you're gonna be in very big trouble, mister!!" The dog just looked at her stupidly. Her eyes narrowed. She waggled her finger at him. "ooohh! You are a very BAD dog, Zero!" She tried to grab his collar.
She missed. He barked then continued his tunneling in the mound. He eventually reappearing on the on the other side with a pair of boxers on his foreleg. One of is back legs had a bra (red lace) entangled on it. He somehow got his head through one of my polo work shirts. But the coupe de grace, ladies and gentlemen, was from his feverishly wagging tail was a pair of blue satin panties. I wouldn?t classify them as panties. Not enough material. I believe they are called thongs, and they weren?t mine. And he was waving them around like a pennant for the world (well the tug crew) could see.
Dirty secret. I?ve always wondered what she wore under her official uniform ever since Duo posed the question to me. I think that mystery is solved.
I told you, I understand sarcasm very well.
Nobody asked for your opinion, Duo.
Relena blushed scarlet through her tan. She was embarrassed and pissed. I, on the other hand, was enjoying this. She growled and grave chase running around the pile. Zero, of course, thought this was a game, and would let her get close then take off to the other side of the pile.
Did I tell you I was amused?
Finally, after a few minutes of this exercise in futilitally, she screamed at me, "Heero!! Take that god-damned smirk off your face and do something!!"
Ok. I whistled. He came right to me, sitting in front of me and using the..uhem, panties as a broom. I kneeled to the ground and removed all the problematic clothes and handed them to the still steaming Relena.
"Why didn?t you do that before," She asked as I handed her the last article.
I stood up and shrugged. "You didn?t ask."
"I...didn?t..."she blinked. Her eyes narrowed. "Chuck it up now, Mr. Yuy, for you will pay, in spades, later." With a scowl aimed at both Zero and me, she stormed off, muttering something about the male species.
I shrugged and looked at Zero. He yipped and curled up next to the jip mast for a nap. I wasn?t concerned. I have seen similar fights between Noin and Zechs before. When he 'paid his dues,' he didn?t look upset about it. In fact, he seemed quite pleased about it. So I should be looking forward to it, right? I shrugged and continued my never-ending search for dirty clothes.
The 'Peacemillion' with her bow doors opened greeted us. We were towed inside the yawning entrance. I noticed that the 'Sea of Stars' wasn?t the only ship in the repair docks. Howard's team was repairing no less that six ships. That's how Howard makes a living. Well, The public way. We pulled up to a 'dock' and moored there.
Howard was there to greet us. "Man, what a lot of laundry." He said looking at the pile. "Well, I kinda figured ya might need something to carry it all up, so there's some boxes and dolly you can use to get it up to the living spaces. You remember were it is, right?"
I nodded and we both told him thanks. We loaded and loaded to the amusement of Howard's prep team for my boat. Finally, we had everything loaded, and then pushed it to the elevator. At the laundry room, pulled everything out and started to sort. Yes, I sort. Hilde made a comment once (obviously directed at Duo) that single men don?t know how to sort. We do, but it takes a load of formally white boxers dyed pink from a sweater (which turn pink itself) will teach most bachelors that all-important step to clean clothes.
Well, It taught me. I think Duo bribed Hilde into doing his.
After a while of silently sorting we started to load the clothes in the ship's three industrial sized washing machines. "Heero," Relena broke the silence, pulling missorted black sock out of the whites. "This is going to take a while. We both don?t need to be here. You wanted to check out some windows for my cabin. Why don?t you do that now? I can do this. And besides," she smirked, closing the washer door with a flourish. "Some body needs to walk back and get the car."
I almost said no. I don?t know why, it was a logical suggestion. I could bring them back and have Howard install them, too. And, not to mention the sheer boredom of sitting around and waiting for the clothes to get done, and chore of folding all of them.
But I didn?t want to leave her. Not because she would be any kind of danger, or I didn?t trust her, but I had gotten so addicted to her touch, her smell, her voice and... It felt if I left her for a few minutes, I would die. I don?t think I've ever felt this way before, this dependence. It was frightening. In the end I agreed, and left to walk back to the other side of the harbor and fetch the car, which was parked in the marina's parking lot.
I spent most of the morning looking at glass. I had to find a special plastic-steel-silica mix on this tiny island. After four dealers, I found what I was looking for in the correct size. I purchased them and them loaded in the car's back.
I drove to the 'Peacemillion.' Some of the crew outside helped me load it on the ship. They said they would get it to the 'Sea of Stars.' I headed over to the laundry room to find Relena and see if she was interested in a late lunch.
She wasn?t there, neither was our clothes. It looked like she finished. I went down to where my boat sat. There was a dolly full of clean and folded laundry and the glass. I asked one of the workers loading the new furniture aboard about her. They didn?t know. Starting to get concerned, I went and found Howard. He didn?t know but directed me to the guy who helped her bring the laundry down.
"No, I?m not sure where she is, In fact I thought she was with you, Heero." the man said. 'We met the guys who was unloaded the glass. They told us you were on the dock with the car. She took a couple of baskets and the dog and I supposing headed that way."
I went outside, thinking she was waiting. The car was gone.
I ran downstairs in a panic. Where is she? Did she get kidnapped? I found the guy and talked to him again. Maybe she said something...
"No, she didn?t really say anything," he said, scratching his head. "She was pretty mad-looking, though."
About what? This morning? No. Then because I left her with the laundry? That was her idea! No, that's not it either. It was something else. "id she say anything?" I probed. "Did you do anything? Did you say anything?"
"Not really," he mused. "Oh, wait! We talked about the Gundams were almost completed."
Gundams. She doesn?t know about the...
oh. god.
I dismissed the man and sunk down in a chair. The Gundams. We told her we destroyed them. Well, Wufei, Trowa, Quatre, and Duo said they destroyed them. She never asked me. Perhaps she thought it was pretty much history after Marimaia. And Zechs, well I have no idea what he told her. I knew Howard had taken what was left of Wing Zero to the moon. It was much later I learned he was rebuilding ALL the Gundams. I told the others, but I didn?t tell her. She, however told the world that had been destroyed.
Howard walked in. "Do you know where she is?" he asked.
"No," and I wasn?t sure I wanted at he moment. I wonder will she hate me now, for lying to her. I wasn?t lying, it wasn?t important when she came with me. And now... "She found out about the Gundams."
"You never told her."
"No, and neither did Zechs."
I knew Zechs still had Tallgeese when he came back from Mars. Hell, I was the one who suggested Howard in the first place. It was an insurance policy. Maybe we agreed with Howard. Despite his easygoing manner, Howard is very distrustful of the government. He, however, was very trusting of us. That's why he decided to rebuild them. I found out when he cast my hull for the "Sea of Stars." Most of the principals from those wars knew about them, and most of Howard's crew knew us, and her relation to us. They must have assumed...
"Heero," Howard's voice softly interjected into my thoughts. "What are you going to do?"
What am I going to do? I don?t know. She?s mad at me. Maybe enough to get that ticket to the Sanq Kingdom. I rested my elbows on my thighs and put my face in my hands. I don?t know what to do again! Why was this happening? I can?t take this roller-coaster ride for much longer. My head ached and I didn?t know why. I?m missing something, some vital clue. But, what?
"Heero," his voice again broke my chain of thought.
I looked through my spread fingers at him and stared blankly.
"Go find her."
I sat there for a moment, then nodded. I stood up. I will find her. I will fix it. Without saying a word, I left.
I ran down to the dock and jogged across town. I was panning to check the hotel first. I didn?t even think of hailing a taxi. I took over an hour to get there. And all for nothing. Mary, at the hospital, then?
That was closer. I got there and went to her room. Chris was there and the said they haven?t seen her since yesterday when we visited.
"What's a matter, Heero?" Mary asked from her hospital bed. "I thought you two worked everything out."
"I thought so, too," I stared at the couple, wondering what they had that kept them together through all adversity. I sighed and said goodbye.
I stood outside at the hospital's entrance, contemplating my next location. Where next? She would want answers, Anton? I ran down the street towards the beach. It would save time to go to the harbor by following the beach to the pier that separated it from the harbor.
As I ran among the seagulls and sandpipers, I thought about 'it.' The relationship.
What did I miss? This 'thing,' perhaps. What was it? It must be fundamental all relationships. It had to be why ours wasn?t working. I remembered that mental door, still locked in my head. Every time I thought of her the door 'rattled.' I found that door in the storm. What happened there that was different now? Why did I keep making mistakes about this relationship. What was behind it? Was it the answer to it all? How do I get in?
I thought about Relena. That made the door move. Perhaps...I concentrated on Her. Her strength. Her eyes. Her mouth. Her smile. The smile that would melt me.
Why would it melt me?
The power behind it.
What was the power behind it?
The power...
Of her kiss...
Of her Smile...
Of her teasing...
Of her tenacity...
Of her hope...
Of her belief in me...
Of her passion for peace...
Of her passion...
Of her body arcing up to me when she screamed my name...
Of her screaming god and...and....
...
Love?
I saw in my mind that Duo who had been pacing my thoughts. Now you get it.
I looked at the door. There was a key in the lock.
Just turn it, he said.
How do you turn it, I asked.
You know how. Then he disappeared.
How do I turn the key?
How do I turn the key?
How do I turn...
Please, key turn. I need to know.
I want to know.
want to know how...how...
to love.
click!
squeak!
I was suddenly bombarded with thoughts, images...no FEELINGS. too much feelings.
The pain was physical, dropping me on the sand. I held my head, my eyes squinting shut. I need to shut the door. The pain, bad. Shut the door shut the door shut the door shut the...
NO! never again!
The pain stopped. The door disappeared, leaving a hallway filled with things.
Things I haven?t really felt before, only their pale shadows.
I rolled to my back, spread-eagled on the rough stand. The water gently lapped my sneakers. I stared into the blue sky watching the wheeling gulls cry out as the circle the sky.
emotions, I thought wide-eyed.
feelings.
god.
I...
I love her.
A rush of emotion, real emotion rushed over me. it didn?t hurt. It felt...good.
This is the 'thing.' She knew. She knew it all along. Why didn?t she tell me?
No, that was wise, I concluded. I need to figure it out myself, or meant nothing. I needed to find the door. She already knew where hers was.
I need to tell her. I...I...need to ask her...to forgive me.
I needed to find her.
I jumped up and ran, my purpose true. I didn?t know about these emotions in me, but I wanted to find out.
I wanted her to be the one to show me.
I hope it wasn?t too late.
It CANT be too late.
I soon reached the "North Star." Anton and Dave were sitting in their kitchen area in bathrobes. I crashed through the open hatch out of breath.
"Has...seen...Relena...mad...stupid..." I panted.
They looked at each other and shrugged. Anton poured a glass o juice as Dave guided me to a chair. I thankfully drank the proffered juice in three big gulps and handed the empty glass to Anton.
"Now, what happened," Dave asked.
"I got Relena mad." Hell, I sound like a five-year-old. "I can?t find her. Did she come here?"
Dave shook his head. "No, she didn?t. haven?t seen her all day."
Shit, where did she go? Fuck! Did she go back to Howard?s? I stood up.
"where are you going, Heero?" Dave asked me, hands on hips.
'To find her," I looked at him. "To tell her...To tell her that I love her."
Wow. I said it out loud. I was worried about vocalizing those words. Granted, it was to the wrong person but still...it was feasible.
I hope.
Anton laughed, head on the kitchen table and pounding with his fist so hard that the dishes were rattling. Dave grinned "About damn time, Heero," he chuckled. "Don?t explain. Just go and find her and don?t come back without her." He physically turned me around and pushed me out the hatch.
I ran. The exlirating feeling of both dread and joy propelled me. At the 'Peacemillion,' I quickly found Howard.
"She came back." He said.
She did!? Where is she? I darted my head left and right looking for her honey blonde hair in the cavernous interior docking space.
"She left, Heero."
NO! Damn! Where in the hell can she..
"She asked me about them," I looked at him breathless. "I told her the truth, that it wasn?t your idea, or your plan when you gave me what was left of Wing Zero for safekeeping."
A glimmer of hope appeared in the corner of my mind?s eye. Please...
"She then said, "He continued. " She needed to go up to think."
Think? Where would she...
Go Up!
Easter Island is formed by the tops of three extinct volcanoes. The island slopes sharply up from the coast. To go up.
I quickly thanked him and left. I soon left the city. I took a random road that turned to dirt and gravel soon after.
She had the car. Some roads where too steep, especially after all this rain, and too dangerous to attempt with the tiny hatchback. I could eliminate those. Unless...unless she was too upset to think straight. I quickly pushed those horrible scenarios to the side.
Think positive, Heero!
Anyways, It left allot of the forty-five square mile island to search on foot.
I should get a car.
Stupid! I should have thought...
I rounded a sharp turn that cut into a cliffside above the sea and came to the end of the road.
The car was there.
No Relena. She wouldn't... I took quickly looked at the edge of the sheer cliff that dropped down from the lookout point where the car was parked. no Prints. I checked the ground around the car. There were footprints and paw prints leading up the steep slope.
I followed. They soon disappeared in the long wavy grass but the bent and broken stalks were trail enough. I hiked for about a mile when the slope leveled off to a small flat plain that abruptly stopped on one side with the cliff. Below I could hear the waves crashing violently on the rocks. The opposite side to the cliff, the plain began rising again to the crater above. And on this space...
The stone watchers.
The uniquely famous statues that have spent untold millia watching the waters on top their ahus, the flat stone burial platforms. Two were still standing upright, guarding the tombs of unknown kings of Rapa Nui from the sea. The one furthest from me had fallen at an angle, smacking the corner of the ahus. Its red topknot of stone almost at the cliff's edge. The place felt odd, old; I could feel the power of time slowly eroding cliff, the statues, the ahus.
And, there was brown dog sniffing around the ahus. Zero. She's here. I walked closer to the statues, between the ahus and the cliff. There, tucked against the fallen watcher's lips, was HER.
Relena.
Her instinct of me kicked in and she looked up at me.
In the distance, the thunder rumbled.
END OF CHAPTER
PLEASE NOTE: Chapter 11 will be released this weekend. NO, I WILL NOT POST EARLY!! It's already typed up. Two versions of it for those at Blissful Ignorance. And a possible rating change. And a lot of Author venting. You'll see. Ok, one of the versions will be a...hum...a lemon.
one more thing...seven chapters left! YES!!!!!
oh...and book 2...crap.
*******
Glossary-
Not a word but something to point out. The BILGE isn?t where the sewer is stored. It is really a drain for dripping water. Still pretty nasty, though. Most harbors have a limit (say 12 nautical miles) for dumping raw sewage. Don't go ewwwwh! We're actually feeding fish, which , in turn, are feeding sharks and dolphins. It is a fact that dolphins and sharks will wait in that limit for passing ships, knowing they will dump and the smaller fish will converge. --See, thought ya wouldn?t learn anything!
AMERICAN LIVE OAK--one the strongest hardwoods out there. Known for its 'flexibility.' USS CONSTITUTION is made of it. Correct me if I?m wrong. The US Navy owns one of the last Live Oak forest <author beams proudly> just for the purpose to repair OLD IRONSIDES.
SUN GRAZERS--a celestial body that has a elongated elliptical orbit around the sun that when it reaches the nears point, it actually enters the sun's 'atmosphere.' Can?t tell you the actual distance off the top of my head, and all my reference books are packed!
GUNDAMIUM--None of my GW references did not explain how it was made, that I can remember. Of course, at this writing, my books and tapes are all packed to go to...JAPAN!!! So, I made this up. Not important now, it will be VERY IMPORTANT in book two, if any of you care.
AHUS--the 'table' that the statues are on. Big very big. Underneath, are tombs of the original inhabitments of Easter Island.
RAPA NUI--The local and ancient name of Easter Island. Is silly westerners named it Easter Island

"Sea of Stars"
Chapter 10
Stormfront
It was bliss. Forty-eight hours of bliss, not contentment, but bliss. We didn't leave the hotel room. Hell, we rarely left the bed. And the only things we managed to accomplish is make use of all the hotel furniture, NOT breaking the bed, and undoing all the sleep we had the first night.
Ok, it was a little less that forty-eight hours. We thought it be a moral responsibility to visit Mary in the hospital. After all, we were her friends.
And I...I was a very happy Perfect Soldier.
Needed to put that out.
The fact I had a hell of a lot of work was the only reason I not walking around the harbor with one of those 'I just got laid' grins. I know about those grins. Duo uses them a lot. Actually, all the time. Actually there was a lot work to do, I wasn?t making that up. But...
She's staying.
There is a god.
We spent the first bright beautiful day scrubbing the dirt and filth on the lower deck. We pulled up all the ruined furniture and carpet. Then, armed with scrub brushes, buckets, a water hose, mops, biodegradable nature-friendly soap, and, most importantly, a radio, we set to scrub this wonderful day away.
Did I tell you I was feeling pretty blissful?
Even Dave couldn?t ruin my good mood. He came over with lunch and his usual acid comments. I guess Anton got sick of him and he came over to torture us. It didn?t matter; his foul mood had absolutely no effect on mine.
Not one bit. Nada. Zip.
I like cloud being on cloud nine. I plan on getting season tickets.
Ok, his parting remark about how somebody just got laid made me a little upset but Relena laughed so I let it slide. After all, he did feed us.
She was wearing a pair of my swimming trunks and, get this, my old green tank top. Where she found it, I don?t know. Hell, I'm glad she did, though. Because she looks better in it than I did. Especially braless.
Laughing and braless.
Down, Heero. Work.
I watched her scrub, occasionally blowing her bangs out of the way. I resumed my scrubbing and singing once in a while to the songs on the radio, much to Relena's amusement. Soon the lower deck was looking less filthy and more like the clean ship I would normally have.
However, as much as Relena looked good in my clothes, we really needed to do laundry.
The problem was the laundry mat on the island (All three of them) were crowded by stranded sailors. And we couldn?t use the on the ship in harbor. No sewer lines. We were lucky they were letting us use the bilge pumps.
We tried to do laundry last night after we...emerged, but we couldn?t get a machine. She was wearing my clothes and washing her undergarments in the sink at the hotel. At this rate, I was going to run out of clothes.
Pondering these heavy problems while attacking the cabin bulkheads with a sponge, I head a voice.
"Heero?" It was Howard.
"Down here,? I called, dropping the brush on the deck. A spry elderly man wearing khaki shorts and a very...loud...Hawaiian shirt slid down the ladder rails to the lower deck.
He pulled his sunglasses to his balding head. He whistled. "Wow, hell of a lot of damage!"
"The hull got punctured," I told him flat out.
He shrugged. "I'm not surprised. They weather service measured the winds at about 140 mph. Frankly, I'm surprised it?s still in one piece."
I refused to have my good humor dampened. Remember, bliss. "Did you get my list?"
"Yeah,? He answered, not at all perturbed. "There's a guy in New Zealand, who made the original furniture. He some raw wood versions of it. My crew stained and sealed on the way here. I do have some extra carpeting leftover from when it was built, but I dunno if it?s enough. A slew of masts are on a barge heading over here. They said they would be here in a couple of days." He grinned. "I made sure he put a couple of American Live Oaks on it."
Excellent. Only the best for my 'baby.' "Electronic equipment? A new engine?"
"Yup, even the extra you asked for. Who's that for?"
"The 'Homa.' They were a great help and they will be assisting with the mast. They wouldn?t take money so I thought I could repay them by upgrading their equipment."
Howard shrugged. "Whatever you want, Heero. Where's the hole?"
I guided him forward. He and Relena exchanged greetings as we past her. I stopped him in front of the chain locker and pointed out the damage.
Gundamium is a funny alloy. It only occurs naturally in those rare asteroids that were 'sun grazers,' the sun's high heat melted the asteroid?s various metallic components in such a way it became gundamium. Man replicated the process, finding out that very low gees and high pressure were vital in the mixing process. Small holes can be welded on Earth, with the proper equipment, but if the damage was too big...
Howard hemmed and hawed, looking at the damage and the temp repair. That's another thing about Gundamium; that it is considered to be 'living metal.' The flanges that formed when the bow spirit went through were already biting into the wooden plug, trying to return to its original shape. Gundamium had to be 'trained' during the forming process. The result was an extremely strong and very lightweight metal that could resist just about anything because it was 'extremely reluctant' to break.
Hell, that's what my resident experts on the subject, Anton and Howard, told me.
"We can fix it," he announced. I let out the breath I was holding. "It looks like very little is missing. We'll need the ship for about a day for this repair. Another for the paint job and the others."
We agreed he would tow the ship tomorrow to the 'Peacemillion' and even offered the use of his laundry room after he heard of our predicament. Then he bade us goodbye, and left us to our cleaning.
"I guess laundry tomorrow,? Relena mused, leaning on her long-handled scrub brush.
"hn." Will it take long to do laundry? Maybe not too long, I think. Ideas that I would never even considered in the past started to surface in my mind. Good thoughts.
I?ve never experienced this before. Lust, I have, of course. Despite what my fellow pilots may think, I am a man who has experienced puberty. I just...have ...better control, yes control, over my self unlike others. Relena isn?t my first woman I?ve...been with. She, however, is the first woman I?ve been with that I have wanted ...uhm...continual experiences with. The first that I have dreamed up...scenarios about. The two women before were just...relief for a frustration I tried not to acknowledge.
My thoughts were 'rudely' interrupted by Relena. Smacking my ass. Give her an inch...
...
Don?t go there Heero!
when did I get this bad?
"Get back to work, Heero," She smirked. "I don?t want to be cleaning ALL day."
I swear to god she can read my mind. At least, I hope she is reading my mind. It will make life...easier later.
We cleaned and scrubbed most of the day until the inside of the 'Sea of Stars' gleamed. We hauled all the ruined furniture and other rubbish up to the dock to be hauled away. By evening, the 'Sea of Stars' was ship-shape as much as possible.
We returned to the hotel, tired. And dirty., after stripping, we both climbed into the shower and I proceeded to introduce Relena to one of my...thoughts I had going through my mind this afternoon. She seemed very willing to recreate that 'thought.'
Later, we curled up next to each other, naked and sated under the sheets. She was snoring softly, which I found amusing. I couldn?t stop touching her, even when I was so tired. I couldn?t figure how I got here, in this place, but I was glad that I was and even gladder she reciprocated the interest.
Was this the 'thing' between us? I wasn?t sure of that, though I was hoping it was. But I had a feeling we were missing something. No, I was missing something. And for some reason I felt the dark clouds approaching cloud nine.
The morning brought news of other dark clouds, of the atmospheric type. There was yet another storm heading this way and would reach the island by nightfall.
No rest for the sailors.
Howard's team had already prepped the 'Sea of Stars' for a tow to his ship and was only waiting for us. The 'Peacemillion was parked next to a cruise liner in the deepest part of the harbor opposite us.
Relena and I grabbed all the clothes, sheets, towels and anything else that needed to be washed and piled it on the deck next to my still broken mast while they still towed us. Zero sniffed at the growing mountain of cloth, them with a bark, launched himself into the pile. Clothes flew everywhere.
"Zero, HEY! Knock it off!...ZERO!" Relena yelled at the canine, which only had him stick his head out of the pile, panting and tongue lolling. Relena put her hands on her hips and leaned down at him. "Zero get out, or you're gonna be in very big trouble, mister!!" The dog just looked at her stupidly. Her eyes narrowed. She waggled her finger at him. "ooohh! You are a very BAD dog, Zero!" She tried to grab his collar.
She missed. He barked then continued his tunneling in the mound. He eventually reappearing on the on the other side with a pair of boxers on his foreleg. One of is back legs had a bra (red lace) entangled on it. He somehow got his head through one of my polo work shirts. But the coupe de grace, ladies and gentlemen, was from his feverishly wagging tail was a pair of blue satin panties. I wouldn?t classify them as panties. Not enough material. I believe they are called thongs, and they weren?t mine. And he was waving them around like a pennant for the world (well the tug crew) could see.
Dirty secret. I?ve always wondered what she wore under her official uniform ever since Duo posed the question to me. I think that mystery is solved.
I told you, I understand sarcasm very well.
Nobody asked for your opinion, Duo.
Relena blushed scarlet through her tan. She was embarrassed and pissed. I, on the other hand, was enjoying this. She growled and grave chase running around the pile. Zero, of course, thought this was a game, and would let her get close then take off to the other side of the pile.
Did I tell you I was amused?
Finally, after a few minutes of this exercise in futilitally, she screamed at me, "Heero!! Take that god-damned smirk off your face and do something!!"
Ok. I whistled. He came right to me, sitting in front of me and using the..uhem, panties as a broom. I kneeled to the ground and removed all the problematic clothes and handed them to the still steaming Relena.
"Why didn?t you do that before," She asked as I handed her the last article.
I stood up and shrugged. "You didn?t ask."
"I...didn?t..."she blinked. Her eyes narrowed. "Chuck it up now, Mr. Yuy, for you will pay, in spades, later." With a scowl aimed at both Zero and me, she stormed off, muttering something about the male species.
I shrugged and looked at Zero. He yipped and curled up next to the jip mast for a nap. I wasn?t concerned. I have seen similar fights between Noin and Zechs before. When he 'paid his dues,' he didn?t look upset about it. In fact, he seemed quite pleased about it. So I should be looking forward to it, right? I shrugged and continued my never-ending search for dirty clothes.
The 'Peacemillion' with her bow doors opened greeted us. We were towed inside the yawning entrance. I noticed that the 'Sea of Stars' wasn?t the only ship in the repair docks. Howard's team was repairing no less that six ships. That's how Howard makes a living. Well, The public way. We pulled up to a 'dock' and moored there.
Howard was there to greet us. "Man, what a lot of laundry." He said looking at the pile. "Well, I kinda figured ya might need something to carry it all up, so there's some boxes and dolly you can use to get it up to the living spaces. You remember were it is, right?"
I nodded and we both told him thanks. We loaded and loaded to the amusement of Howard's prep team for my boat. Finally, we had everything loaded, and then pushed it to the elevator. At the laundry room, pulled everything out and started to sort. Yes, I sort. Hilde made a comment once (obviously directed at Duo) that single men don?t know how to sort. We do, but it takes a load of formally white boxers dyed pink from a sweater (which turn pink itself) will teach most bachelors that all-important step to clean clothes.
Well, It taught me. I think Duo bribed Hilde into doing his.
After a while of silently sorting we started to load the clothes in the ship's three industrial sized washing machines. "Heero," Relena broke the silence, pulling missorted black sock out of the whites. "This is going to take a while. We both don?t need to be here. You wanted to check out some windows for my cabin. Why don?t you do that now? I can do this. And besides," she smirked, closing the washer door with a flourish. "Some body needs to walk back and get the car."
I almost said no. I don?t know why, it was a logical suggestion. I could bring them back and have Howard install them, too. And, not to mention the sheer boredom of sitting around and waiting for the clothes to get done, and chore of folding all of them.
But I didn?t want to leave her. Not because she would be any kind of danger, or I didn?t trust her, but I had gotten so addicted to her touch, her smell, her voice and... It felt if I left her for a few minutes, I would die. I don?t think I've ever felt this way before, this dependence. It was frightening. In the end I agreed, and left to walk back to the other side of the harbor and fetch the car, which was parked in the marina's parking lot.
I spent most of the morning looking at glass. I had to find a special plastic-steel-silica mix on this tiny island. After four dealers, I found what I was looking for in the correct size. I purchased them and them loaded in the car's back.
I drove to the 'Peacemillion.' Some of the crew outside helped me load it on the ship. They said they would get it to the 'Sea of Stars.' I headed over to the laundry room to find Relena and see if she was interested in a late lunch.
She wasn?t there, neither was our clothes. It looked like she finished. I went down to where my boat sat. There was a dolly full of clean and folded laundry and the glass. I asked one of the workers loading the new furniture aboard about her. They didn?t know. Starting to get concerned, I went and found Howard. He didn?t know but directed me to the guy who helped her bring the laundry down.
"No, I?m not sure where she is, In fact I thought she was with you, Heero." the man said. 'We met the guys who was unloaded the glass. They told us you were on the dock with the car. She took a couple of baskets and the dog and I supposing headed that way."
I went outside, thinking she was waiting. The car was gone.
I ran downstairs in a panic. Where is she? Did she get kidnapped? I found the guy and talked to him again. Maybe she said something...
"No, she didn?t really say anything," he said, scratching his head. "She was pretty mad-looking, though."
About what? This morning? No. Then because I left her with the laundry? That was her idea! No, that's not it either. It was something else. "id she say anything?" I probed. "Did you do anything? Did you say anything?"
"Not really," he mused. "Oh, wait! We talked about the Gundams were almost completed."
Gundams. She doesn?t know about the...
oh. god.
I dismissed the man and sunk down in a chair. The Gundams. We told her we destroyed them. Well, Wufei, Trowa, Quatre, and Duo said they destroyed them. She never asked me. Perhaps she thought it was pretty much history after Marimaia. And Zechs, well I have no idea what he told her. I knew Howard had taken what was left of Wing Zero to the moon. It was much later I learned he was rebuilding ALL the Gundams. I told the others, but I didn?t tell her. She, however told the world that had been destroyed.
Howard walked in. "Do you know where she is?" he asked.
"No," and I wasn?t sure I wanted at he moment. I wonder will she hate me now, for lying to her. I wasn?t lying, it wasn?t important when she came with me. And now... "She found out about the Gundams."
"You never told her."
"No, and neither did Zechs."
I knew Zechs still had Tallgeese when he came back from Mars. Hell, I was the one who suggested Howard in the first place. It was an insurance policy. Maybe we agreed with Howard. Despite his easygoing manner, Howard is very distrustful of the government. He, however, was very trusting of us. That's why he decided to rebuild them. I found out when he cast my hull for the "Sea of Stars." Most of the principals from those wars knew about them, and most of Howard's crew knew us, and her relation to us. They must have assumed...
"Heero," Howard's voice softly interjected into my thoughts. "What are you going to do?"
What am I going to do? I don?t know. She?s mad at me. Maybe enough to get that ticket to the Sanq Kingdom. I rested my elbows on my thighs and put my face in my hands. I don?t know what to do again! Why was this happening? I can?t take this roller-coaster ride for much longer. My head ached and I didn?t know why. I?m missing something, some vital clue. But, what?
"Heero," his voice again broke my chain of thought.
I looked through my spread fingers at him and stared blankly.
"Go find her."
I sat there for a moment, then nodded. I stood up. I will find her. I will fix it. Without saying a word, I left.
I ran down to the dock and jogged across town. I was panning to check the hotel first. I didn?t even think of hailing a taxi. I took over an hour to get there. And all for nothing. Mary, at the hospital, then?
That was closer. I got there and went to her room. Chris was there and the said they haven?t seen her since yesterday when we visited.
"What's a matter, Heero?" Mary asked from her hospital bed. "I thought you two worked everything out."
"I thought so, too," I stared at the couple, wondering what they had that kept them together through all adversity. I sighed and said goodbye.
I stood outside at the hospital's entrance, contemplating my next location. Where next? She would want answers, Anton? I ran down the street towards the beach. It would save time to go to the harbor by following the beach to the pier that separated it from the harbor.
As I ran among the seagulls and sandpipers, I thought about 'it.' The relationship.
What did I miss? This 'thing,' perhaps. What was it? It must be fundamental all relationships. It had to be why ours wasn?t working. I remembered that mental door, still locked in my head. Every time I thought of her the door 'rattled.' I found that door in the storm. What happened there that was different now? Why did I keep making mistakes about this relationship. What was behind it? Was it the answer to it all? How do I get in?
I thought about Relena. That made the door move. Perhaps...I concentrated on Her. Her strength. Her eyes. Her mouth. Her smile. The smile that would melt me.
Why would it melt me?
The power behind it.
What was the power behind it?
The power...
Of her kiss...
Of her Smile...
Of her teasing...
Of her tenacity...
Of her hope...
Of her belief in me...
Of her passion for peace...
Of her passion...
Of her body arcing up to me when she screamed my name...
Of her screaming god and...and....
...
Love?
I saw in my mind that Duo who had been pacing my thoughts. Now you get it.
I looked at the door. There was a key in the lock.
Just turn it, he said.
How do you turn it, I asked.
You know how. Then he disappeared.
How do I turn the key?
How do I turn the key?
How do I turn...
Please, key turn. I need to know.
I want to know.
want to know how...how...
to love.
click!
squeak!
I was suddenly bombarded with thoughts, images...no FEELINGS. too much feelings.
The pain was physical, dropping me on the sand. I held my head, my eyes squinting shut. I need to shut the door. The pain, bad. Shut the door shut the door shut the door shut the...
NO! never again!
The pain stopped. The door disappeared, leaving a hallway filled with things.
Things I haven?t really felt before, only their pale shadows.
I rolled to my back, spread-eagled on the rough stand. The water gently lapped my sneakers. I stared into the blue sky watching the wheeling gulls cry out as the circle the sky.
emotions, I thought wide-eyed.
feelings.
god.
I...
I love her.
A rush of emotion, real emotion rushed over me. it didn?t hurt. It felt...good.
This is the 'thing.' She knew. She knew it all along. Why didn?t she tell me?
No, that was wise, I concluded. I need to figure it out myself, or meant nothing. I needed to find the door. She already knew where hers was.
I need to tell her. I...I...need to ask her...to forgive me.
I needed to find her.
I jumped up and ran, my purpose true. I didn?t know about these emotions in me, but I wanted to find out.
I wanted her to be the one to show me.
I hope it wasn?t too late.
It CANT be too late.
I soon reached the "North Star." Anton and Dave were sitting in their kitchen area in bathrobes. I crashed through the open hatch out of breath.
"Has...seen...Relena...mad...stupid..." I panted.
They looked at each other and shrugged. Anton poured a glass o juice as Dave guided me to a chair. I thankfully drank the proffered juice in three big gulps and handed the empty glass to Anton.
"Now, what happened," Dave asked.
"I got Relena mad." Hell, I sound like a five-year-old. "I can?t find her. Did she come here?"
Dave shook his head. "No, she didn?t. haven?t seen her all day."
Shit, where did she go? Fuck! Did she go back to Howard?s? I stood up.
"where are you going, Heero?" Dave asked me, hands on hips.
'To find her," I looked at him. "To tell her...To tell her that I love her."
Wow. I said it out loud. I was worried about vocalizing those words. Granted, it was to the wrong person but still...it was feasible.
I hope.
Anton laughed, head on the kitchen table and pounding with his fist so hard that the dishes were rattling. Dave grinned "About damn time, Heero," he chuckled. "Don?t explain. Just go and find her and don?t come back without her." He physically turned me around and pushed me out the hatch.
I ran. The exlirating feeling of both dread and joy propelled me. At the 'Peacemillion,' I quickly found Howard.
"She came back." He said.
She did!? Where is she? I darted my head left and right looking for her honey blonde hair in the cavernous interior docking space.
"She left, Heero."
NO! Damn! Where in the hell can she..
"She asked me about them," I looked at him breathless. "I told her the truth, that it wasn?t your idea, or your plan when you gave me what was left of Wing Zero for safekeeping."
A glimmer of hope appeared in the corner of my mind?s eye. Please...
"She then said, "He continued. " She needed to go up to think."
Think? Where would she...
Go Up!
Easter Island is formed by the tops of three extinct volcanoes. The island slopes sharply up from the coast. To go up.
I quickly thanked him and left. I soon left the city. I took a random road that turned to dirt and gravel soon after.
She had the car. Some roads where too steep, especially after all this rain, and too dangerous to attempt with the tiny hatchback. I could eliminate those. Unless...unless she was too upset to think straight. I quickly pushed those horrible scenarios to the side.
Think positive, Heero!
Anyways, It left allot of the forty-five square mile island to search on foot.
I should get a car.
Stupid! I should have thought...
I rounded a sharp turn that cut into a cliffside above the sea and came to the end of the road.
The car was there.
No Relena. She wouldn't... I took quickly looked at the edge of the sheer cliff that dropped down from the lookout point where the car was parked. no Prints. I checked the ground around the car. There were footprints and paw prints leading up the steep slope.
I followed. They soon disappeared in the long wavy grass but the bent and broken stalks were trail enough. I hiked for about a mile when the slope leveled off to a small flat plain that abruptly stopped on one side with the cliff. Below I could hear the waves crashing violently on the rocks. The opposite side to the cliff, the plain began rising again to the crater above. And on this space...
The stone watchers.
The uniquely famous statues that have spent untold millia watching the waters on top their ahus, the flat stone burial platforms. Two were still standing upright, guarding the tombs of unknown kings of Rapa Nui from the sea. The one furthest from me had fallen at an angle, smacking the corner of the ahus. Its red topknot of stone almost at the cliff's edge. The place felt odd, old; I could feel the power of time slowly eroding cliff, the statues, the ahus.
And, there was brown dog sniffing around the ahus. Zero. She's here. I walked closer to the statues, between the ahus and the cliff. There, tucked against the fallen watcher's lips, was HER.
Relena.
Her instinct of me kicked in and she looked up at me.
In the distance, the thunder rumbled.
END OF CHAPTER
PLEASE NOTE: Chapter 11 will be released this weekend. NO, I WILL NOT POST EARLY!! It's already typed up. Two versions of it for those at Blissful Ignorance. And a possible rating change. And a lot of Author venting. You'll see. Ok, one of the versions will be a...hum...a lemon.
one more thing...seven chapters left! YES!!!!!
oh...and book 2...crap.
*******
Glossary-
Not a word but something to point out. The BILGE isn?t where the sewer is stored. It is really a drain for dripping water. Still pretty nasty, though. Most harbors have a limit (say 12 nautical miles) for dumping raw sewage. Don't go ewwwwh! We're actually feeding fish, which , in turn, are feeding sharks and dolphins. It is a fact that dolphins and sharks will wait in that limit for passing ships, knowing they will dump and the smaller fish will converge. --See, thought ya wouldn?t learn anything!
AMERICAN LIVE OAK--one the strongest hardwoods out there. Known for its 'flexibility.' USS CONSTITUTION is made of it. Correct me if I?m wrong. The US Navy owns one of the last Live Oak forest <author beams proudly> just for the purpose to repair OLD IRONSIDES.
SUN GRAZERS--a celestial body that has a elongated elliptical orbit around the sun that when it reaches the nears point, it actually enters the sun's 'atmosphere.' Can?t tell you the actual distance off the top of my head, and all my reference books are packed!
GUNDAMIUM--None of my GW references did not explain how it was made, that I can remember. Of course, at this writing, my books and tapes are all packed to go to...JAPAN!!! So, I made this up. Not important now, it will be VERY IMPORTANT in book two, if any of you care.
AHUS--the 'table' that the statues are on. Big very big. Underneath, are tombs of the original inhabitments of Easter Island.
RAPA NUI--The local and ancient name of Easter Island. Is silly westerners named it Easter Island

Lovely chapter Trekkie!
Wow, you really are flying through the chapters. Wish I could be as productive with my stuff. *glares at unco-operative Roman AU ficcy*
Wow... but Heero's got some explaining to do now. Or does he? Don't be too hard on him Rel. You know better than to come to your own conclusions. Don't you? Hmmmm....
Looking forward to the next installment!
Thanks for sharing!

I know what your doing. Your holding back the lemon so you'll keep us hooked to the story.
I can see through your little head. I can see through everyone and that includes my cat, who might I mention has never won a staring contest against me!
Bwah ha ha ha. Bring on the Lemon.
Anyway like I said befor you've realy gotten into Heeros head. (Maybe you can stare down my cat too) And nice little twist with the recreation of the gundams, bet Relena's pissed. A good argument is always good as long as it's followed with some good make up haooy.

Woohoo! I love this story. ::huggles story::
