"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: My life has been hectic these last couple of months, and it didn?t help that I had MAJOR Writer?s block. I hope you can forgive me.

Part B will be up in the next day or two. It?s done, just needs to be typed. And sorry about moving my stories in BI. It won?t happen again.

NOW, ON WITH THE SHOW!!!!

"Sea of Stars"
Chapter 13
Pre-Wedding Jitters


We pulled into Capetown in the morning. After securing our ships, we made one stop to drop Zero at the kennels and headed towards the spaceport.

Mary and Chris were excited, they had never been on a shuttle, never mind in space before, so this was all new to them. Dave yawned in feigned indifference while Anton was?Anton.

Both Relena and I were tense as we took our seats on the shuttle. We had both discussed the situation the night before and we agreed. The reunion was not going to be pleasant.

Well, not all. I was anticipating one reunion. With Zechs.

I unconscionably cracked my knuckles at the thought how well THAT reunion would go, when Relena interrupted my pleasant thoughts.

?Heero,? She said, frowning at me. I swear she can read my thoughts sometimes! ?My brother is in the wedding. You can do whatever you want but better a) not show and b) stop him from performing his wedding duties.?

Damn!

?Is the princess of Peace advocating violence??

?Heer-O!?

I smiled. ?Yes dear.?

She mumbled something under her breath like ? God, what monster have I unleashed?? and sat back in her seat. I was excited. I had Relena?s blessing. I cracked my knuckles again.

The flight was uneventful, except for Chris and Mary?s constant excited chatter. Relena slept most of the trip, drooling on my shoulder. I kept thinking of ways of hurting Zechs.

Hey! I had to have something good to look forward for at this disaster of a wedding.

After the shuttle landed, we went to where our ride was. Quatre thoughtfully arranged a driver for us. After we loaded up the van, we were driven to one of the many Winner properties scattered throughout the colonies.

This one on L2, a bonified mansion sat in a quiet part of the colony, near one of the several stories high windows that offered a view of Earth.

In the main hall, there were my fellow pilots and various friends to greet us.

And Duo was the first to spot me, of course. ?Heero!!? He ran up to me. He, even in person, hasn?t really didn?t change. Still had that stupid grin and ponytail and dressed in black. He was, however, taller than me by a few inches and his baby face melted into adulthood.

He grabbed my hand, shaking it. ?Good to see you! I hope the flight was pleasant!? He glanced over my shoulder and saw Relena. ?Oh my GOD!! RELENA!? And then engulfed her in a bear hug that lifted her off the ground.

?God, Relena! You looked Great!!? We-she did. Instead of the pale, frightened girl in ill-fitting clothes, there was a tanned, beautiful woman dressed in nice casual clothes and grinning like an idiot.

That?s ok; an idiot was squeezing her to death.

?Heero!? I turned to see Quatre waving at me. Behind him was Trowa. Quatre came up and shook my proffered hand. ?Nice to see you!? His smile was soft and genuine. He hadn?t changed at all. Trowa, who gave a nod in greeting, grew taller and must be over 6 ft. 6 ins. by now.

?How have you been, Heero?? Quatre asked me.

?Well- considering,? I nodded towards Relena, who was desperately trying to get out of Duo?s hug. ?Has Wufei and Sally arrived yet?? With those two, there would be Zechs.

?Their shuttle just pulled in. I have a van waiting for them, also.?

We talked among ourselves for a few minutes, awaiting the rest of the gang. I introduced Chris, Mary, Anton, and Dave to everyone else. TO say that three of them were in awe of the other pilots was an understatement. I think slack jawed, wide-eyed amazement would be better. I think they were surprised how young we all are.

Sometimes, I?m amazed how young we really are.

Duo latched onto Dave, leaving a gasping Relena in his wake. He started chattering Dave?s ear off about the menu and problems thereof. I leaned against the wall away from the group. Not to be anti-social, but to see the great Zechs Marquise make his appearance.

Shortly, he did. He came in first into the entryway (if you call are large room with the banister stairs an entryway) with his arm around Noin. He walked in and scanned the room until he found who he was looking for; Relena. Actually he did a double take, just like Duo.

??Lena?? He queried as he approached her.

She grinned at him. ?Hello, Millardo, Noin.? Then jumped him. Really, she did. It?s her brother, after all. Noin babbled something to her and the whole thing degenerated into several minutes of family reunion.

Wufei and Sally walked in, avoiding the human mass of greeting that the Peacecraft family became. I gave them a nod, which they returned. Then Sally jumped into the fray herself exclaiming how well Relena looked and other such bother.

But, as the conversation died down and people separated, the event I was waiting for patiently was about to occur. I had been acting like I usually do, hanging back and not joining in, but my plans were about to come to fruitation.

I have been planning this for a long, long time.


And the idiot didn?t disappoint me.

Not Duo, for a change, but Zechs. Though what Duo said was exactly what I thought he would say. He is really predictable at times.

?Well,? Duo announced, slapping his hands together and coming up to stand ?casually? next to me. ?Quatre has made arrangements for rooms for all of you, but the place is so big, I don?t want you to get lost!?

?What he is saying, is that I only have a few bedroom prepared for guests.? Quatre clarified. ?I don?t to work the staff too much so I only cleaned out the bedrooms I thought we would need.?

Duo nodded enthusiastically. ?Yeah, and I made room assignments. So if there is any changes, speak up.?

This was Duo?s way of getting me to confess my relationship with Relena publicly and embarrass me at the same time.

I was prepared this time.

He read off the names of established couples, Sally and Wufei, Zechs and Noin, and then the singles, Trowa Quatre, etc. Then?

?Sooooo, Heero,? He drawled. So will there be separate rooms for you and Relena or will you be sharing??

The fifty billion credit question, eh, Zechs?

Zechs, who has studiously ignored my presence the whole time now glared at me, daring me to say ?one room.?

I didn?t have to. Relena did.

?One room is fine, Duo. Thanks for asking.? She grinned at me.

Out of the corner of my eye, Wufei stepped back from the crowd of friends, taking Sally with him. He knew what was going to happen next. He nodded at me.

Meanwhile everyone was muttering, but I ignored them. I focused my attention on Zechs. His jaw had dropped in complete and utter surprise with the announcement. He glanced at his sister and saw her grin then he returned his vision to me. Then his face changed from surprised to uncontrolled fury in seconds.

He stormed forward, his fist in the air. ? You sorry Son of a Bitch!! Take advantage of my sis?urk!?

I?m afraid I was the cause of the unfinished speech.

I had came forward, ducking under his raised fist and plowed my left fist into his ribs with a resounding (and very satisfying) crack I then flipped him over my right shoulder and onto his back. Not hard. Really.

He landed with an ?Omph!? then an agonizing cry of pain.

As or me, I straightened up, looked at Relena, who was just shaking her head. ?I believe he should go and get his ribs taped. I do apologise, Noin.? I was sorry for her; she was going to deal with a injured Zechs. She ignored me and knelt down next to her moaning husband.

?Relena, are you staying here?? She blinked then nodded. Most of the crowd (except for Wufei, who was smirking) was in shock. What I did next pretty much killed the ?dispassionate assassin-Perfect Soldier? Heero Yuy.

I grinned. It was one of those Duo ?shit-eating? grins. I?ve been practicing in the mirror for weeks. I bent down towards Zechs where he was curled up on the ground and caught his pain-filled eyes. ?Yes, Zechs,? I said, loudly and very clearly. ?I?ve been having sex with your sister. Deal with it.?

With a light tap of my toe against his kneecap (yes, it was light. No injuries that would keep him form his wedding duties!), and a jaunty (well, I thought it was) wave, I briskly wheeled around and headed towards the opening to the inner rooms of the mansion.

I stopped only to grab Relena and my carry-ons in one hand and Duo?s braid in the other, effectively dragging him out of the room.

?Duo,? I said to him as I quickly pulled him. ?You were going to show where OUR ROOM is, right??

As I crossed the threshold, I came to the realization that this has been a good year, probably the best year I have ever had.

And it was made so much better by the sound of Wufei?s hysterical laugh echoing throughout the building.

Of course, I will pay for this later, but?

What a good moment in time.

R&R pleez!!!!

[AngelOfDeath]

Poor Milliardo.

I'm sure he'll find some way to get Heero back. Heh. Though hopefully not in any way that will. . . er. . . prevent any sort of haooying.

Woo hoo!

[stormwind16]

YAY! Next chapter!
Ow I love the part with Wufei hehehehehe. I can see him smirking on the background while Zechs is in pain.
And I also like the way you let Heero tell Zechs that he has been "having sexs with his sister." very very nice indeed.

Next chapter soon please!

luv Stormwind16

[Morrighan]

*laughs hysterically* OMG......................... *starts laughing hysterically again*

Mistakenly, I think I read part b before I read this... Can anyone say oops???

Wonderful chappie, it just cracked me up!!!

[athena]

Trekkie, this was SO worth the wait!!

Heero's finally cracked his perfect soldier shell, and Relena is back to herself, even better, if you ask me. She seems so happy.

The scene here, though...PRICELESS. Heero always seems to sidestep around Zechs and its about time he showed him that he can take care of himself, and Relena.

I grinned. It was one of those Duo ?shit-eating? grins. I?ve been practicing in the mirror for weeks

Oooh, I have such a strong desire to draw a picture of this right now...*ponders*

And this quote really got to me:

Sometimes, I?m amazed how young we really are.

We often forget that these guys are younger than us in the series, and it blows your mind away. Thanks for putting that in there.

I can't wait to read 13b. Again, well worth the wait.

love, athena

[trekkiexb5]
