It?s A Kid Thing
Chapter 5
Melville?s Best Friend




?Wow. Six months. I can?t even begin to comprehend six months?.What was it like for you on your six month anniversary? Oh right. You?ve never had one. You always declare your love to these girls, and then when they find out you don?t love them, they leave, right? That?s the story? Hm. Well, still, do you have any advice?? This was all stated in one mighty breath as she put on her socks. She glanced over at him, and started to put her shoes on.
Seeing as how she hadn?t shut up since he arrived at her house, and she was insulting his relationships, he glared at her, and spoke slowly so that she, even in her above-normally-hyper state, could understand.
?Shut up.?
A pair of sky-blue eyes looked at him innocently, and her lip quivered a bit.
?No way. That?s not gonna? work,? he said, averting his eyes from her puppy-dog face.

?Heero! I need your help! I?ve never done this before!? she whimpered.

?Neither have I, Relena, as you so lovingly pointed out,? he sneered while still not looking at her.

?Hey, now, that?s not my fault. You?re the one that screwed up all your relationships,? she sweat dropped, ?the same way every time?.? Shaking her head, she continued to try and find the right ensemble.

?You know, I only told them that because I thought that?s what they wanted to hear,? he said through clenched teeth.

?Which means that you didn?t mean it,? she said, picking up a blouse.

?No. I didn?t.?

?And you came to me every time after your breakups, and complained. You told me your heart had been broken?.What a laugh, though. You never loved them, so had could your heart be broken??

He twirled around in the rotating chair, and shrugged his shoulders. ?Maybe I wanted drama?.We always watch those dumb movies of yours??

?Hey hey hey hey hey!!!! You said you LIKED Shakespeare in Love!!!!!? she interrupted, glaring at him in the process.

?Yeah, I did?.But not the point. I just wanted one of those heart-ache scenes, I guess?

?I don?t buy that. It?s something different,? she said nonchalantly, still trying to dress. She was currently snuggling into some way-too-low-way-too-tight jeans.

He looked at her, and sighed. Gosh, those jeans didn?t help his problem. There was no way he could say anything?.

?Well, I....?

?Hold on. I?m getting overwhelmed by my own good taste!? she exclaimed, examining her refection. She smiled, and looked over at his miserable expression. ?Heero?.Tell me what?s really wrong,? she said, sitting in his lap. He held on to her waist, and pulled her in closely. Her back was to her front, so that they were both facing the same direction.

?Relena?.I??.?

She placed her hand on his knee. ?You don?t have to tell me if you don?t want to,? she whispered, afraid he wasn?t going to spill. What were 16 years of friendship for if he couldn?t tell her this one simple thing?

?I just?Can?t stand that I haven?t found someone yet. I play all these games, but I?ve never fallen in love. I knew from the start all those girls were wrong for me?There?s only one person to whom I could give my heart,? he whispered. She got off his lap, and squatted so that she could lean against the arm of the chair.

?You have your whole life to find her. She?s out there, somewhere. Don?t worry about it,? she smiled, and kissed him on the forehead. ?Look, fella,? she said, completely switching moods, ?I have an anniversary date in 15 minutes, and I need some help.?

?Do you love him??

?I?m almost there, Heero. He?s so good for me, you know?,? she said, and applied her make-up.

His eyes darkened. She didn?t understand that whole speech?And now she was going to fall for some blonde freak of nature. What kind of name was Matt anyway?

?Heero? Earth to Heero??

?Yeah?? he said, forced out of his hate-filled reverie.

?Wish me good luck!?

He didn?t smile, but drew her in for a hug. Assuming that this was his good luck sign, she left to drive to the restaurant. The only thing Heero could think to do was actually a simple enough mission. Piece of cake, really. She?d never even see him?..

It would be just his luck to have his car not start. Ten minutes of sitting in the hunk of decaying metal going ?huhduh duh duh?..vru vruhh?..huhduh duh duh??.with the anticipating sound where you thought it was going to finally start up?.. ?vru?vru?.VRUUUUU??.?
Only to realize it was playing a horrible joke on you ?vruuuuuuuuUUUUUUUU???????..huhduh?..? After he finally managed to get the old Volvo to start, which, by the way, he thought it was the shiz-nit most awesome car ever, it would be just his luck to have the hood of the car catch fire on the interstate. Now, mind you, it wasn?t a big fire, but the Volvo was on fire none the less. He got out of the car, cursing like a maniac, then cursing louder when cars slowed down to watch him, point, and then speed up again. By the time he had almost put the flames out, it started to rain. But, not just rain, my friend. Oh no. That would?ve been too easy on his day. It doused the fire within 10 seconds. If it hadn?t been for the nice family of circus midgets who picked him up, he would have blown up the car. They dropped him off at a tow station. After he had called his parents, he dried himself off?..To the best of his ability. How he remembered Relena is beyond anything comprehensible in the world, but, his thoughts fluttered to her. He still had a few minutes?.The restaurant was conveniently down the street. It only took two minutes for him to sprint down there and hide himself. He could see and hear them perfectly?.as he was right beside their booth, hidden in some plants.

?So, what I?m saying is??

?Relena, what I mean by all this is?.?

They were talking at the same time. Heero tried his best to listen?Something really odd was going on here?.

?I think I love you.?
?I?m gay.?

?What??
?What??

More slowly, but still at the same time.

?I think I love you.?
?I?m gay.?

A minute of cuteness crossed over her features, as she had yet to understand what was going on. She soon realized what was going on, and the cuteness left her features and was replaced by anger, hurt, and a crimson color that, had she not been upset, would have been becoming.

?Wait a minute?what?? she said, starting to breathe shallowly.

?Relena, I know I should have told you this sooner, and especially not on our anniversary, but?.I?m gay.?

There was a minute of confusion before she smiled widely, and chuckled a bit, which soon broke into the insane laughter barrier. Heero sweat dropped. Really, she was too na?ve. ?Ha ha ha ha! You?re too funny?No, man, that?s so?funny! I never knew you were such a jokester?.? she laughed aloud, hitting the table with her palm. When his face didn?t show any signs of humor, her laughter slowly shifted into little dry-faced sobs. ?You?re gay? Like?. a big flaming feather-wearing, man-kissing, disco-dancing, Vermont-living, Christina Aguilera-loving, Mikanos-going, Broadway singin?, ladies-don?t-fill-the-void gay?? By this time, Heero was about to die of laughter. Truly, what was happening was sad for his best friend, but really. She was reacting so?.amusingly. This was making his day! ?How could you do this to me?? she started getting frantic.

?Relena, it?s a big step for me, too. Coming out and all?..You?re the first person I told?.Besides that fat prostitute who tried to show me her package?.I had to tell her for fear all three of her ?package? was going to smile at me?.?his joke didn?t lighten the mood.

She managed to question him through sobs; ?How long have you known??

?Well, you know, a part of me has always known?.I mean, that man toweling himself off in the Zest commercial always did a little too much for me?.?

?I can?t believe this?.I have to go?.? she choked, and started to get up to leave. Matt grabbed her arm, and sat her down.

? First of all, it?s not like you?ve never seen a gay man before. You dance. Secondly, I don?t think you realize what a compliment this is??
Her sobs subsided immediately, and her face turned hard and cold. ?That is not a compliment. A compliment is ?You're sexy, you turn me on,? not ?One look at you proves I'm a queer?." She started her muffled little sounds again.
?Relena, look. I see you and your sexy little blouse, and your incredible low rise jeans, which, by the way, make you look fabulous, and I think?.?
?This isn?t going the direction I think you meant for it to,? she sobbed.
?Don?t you see, Lena? You?re perfect for me, and if I can?t make it work with you, then what do I have?? he lifter her chin with his hand, and looked her in the eye.
?One too many peni.?
He chucked, and looked at her. He was getting through to her. If she could joke about it, she was obviously feeling better. He helped her up, and they walked out to the courtyard of the restaurant. Heero followed. As soon as the couple was out of sight of staff and customers, Relena grabbed Matt?s ear. He gave a small yelp, and started to flail his arms wildly.
?You jerk! I'm in love with you, and you're treating me like some sort of test drive?! You take me out for a spin, and you go, "Hmm, I don't really like the feel of this one. I think I'd rather have a stick." Aah!? letting go of his ear, she started to hyperventilate. He grabbed his throbbing appendage, and started pleading with her.
?Lena, I?m sorry, but don?t you think this is hard on me too??
?Yes, Matt. I realize that. But at the same time I realize that?..,? she started sobbing again, ?I turned a man gay.?
?You didn?t turn anyone gay.?
?If I didn?t turn you gay, then what did I do for you??
?Well?.You know, you helped me realize what I was. You helped me on the path?The road was bumpy and long, and even though you had a nice velvet seat, and good safety features, you didn?t take me to where I am now.?
?Enough with the car metaphors?.?
?I?m surprised you know anything about cars, because of what you said to the waiter?.but that stick joke was pretty was pretty good.? He joked, trying to get her focus off him.
?I don?t know what you?re talking about. I know about cars,? she glared.
?The waiter asked you if you preferred a v6 or a v8, and you said you'd prefer a diet coke.?

?Yeah, well you shouldn?t have told him you were a mechanic...Oh my gosh. You were flirting with him weren?t you??

?Um?.He started it.?
?You flirted with another man?Right in front of me, and I never knew?I just thought he was really friendly?.?
?The fact is, he?s gay?and I?m gay.?
?I wish gay were a term of endearment?.?she sighed, letting it sink into her brain. This wasn?t so bad. She just couldn?t shake the feeling that she made him gay?
?I do love you. You know that, right?,? he asked; she nodded. ?I need your support, Lena. I need to know you still love me.?
?Of course I do. You always were good at helping me buy shoes?? she whimpered, aware she?d caught another sign too late.
?Ah, yes. Good times. We can still do that, you know.?
?Yeah.? She hugged him.
?I?m so happy, Lena. I feel so good about myself.?
?You?re not gonna, like, sing a Broadway song to tell me about it?.are you?? she said, still hugging him.
?No, dear. Besides, I?d need the line of dancers behind me for the finale??
She laughed. ?And here I thought all gay men were named Mark, Rick or Steve??
?Well, I do have track lightin?. Does that help??
She smiled.
?By the way, Relena, I have a favor to ask of you.?
?Shoot? she said, her face loosing its anger streaks.
?You know a guy I?d like to?meet.?
?You broke up with me today, and now you?re asking me to help fix you up??
?I knew you?d understand!?
She sighed and sweat dropped. This, she knew was a gay man. And she knew gay men?She WAS a dancer?as Matt had pointed out?.Why the heck hadn?t she seen the signs? Oh well. Live and learn. She smiled at him, and mumbled, ?shoot. Who?s the guy??
?Well, you know him very well, actually.?
?Me? No way. The only guy I know well, heck, the only guy I talk to is?Oh my gosh?.?
Matt smiled.

She fell over. Heero jumped up from his hiding position, just as a janitor was carrying a huge bucket of decaying fish heads from the kitchen to the dumpster. Heero, having been freaked out beyond all reason, bumped into the janitor, and ended up covered in rotting fish. This would have been the worse day he?d ever had, if it hadn?t been for Matt breaking up with Relena.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

?Seven days a week, man. It?s too much on a body.? She rubbed her legs, and stretched them out. The bubbles from the hot tub gathered around her, and she sunk lower into the hot water. Heero smirked.
?You?re going to turn into a prune.?

?It?s better than having all my muscles sore.?

?It hurts that much??

?Practicing 4 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit tiring, Heero.?

?Well, I don?t dance.?

?Well I do.?

?You don?t have to practice this hard,? he said, raising out of the water, ?Just show Julliard a picture of you in a swimsuit, and they?ll be hooked.?

?Likewise for Harvard, I?m sure.?

They sat in silence for a little while before Relena started making whimpering noises. ?Heero?? she complained. Smirking, he looked at her.
?Hm??

?Gimmie a massage??

?No. I?m too tired.?

?Heeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooo??

?Stop it.?

?Plllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeee??

?Stop, Lena. I already said I don?t feel like it.?

She made more whimpering noises. They kept rising in pitch, and he found himself wishing she would drown. ?ALRIGHT! Just shut up!?
She squealed, and glided over to him. He was still sitting in the rim of the hot tub, and she just sat in the water while he gave her a massage.
?You know, Heero, the prom?s supposed to be really cool this year.?

?If you?re trying to impress me??

?I?m just saying?Senior prom is a big deal!?

?You wanna? go? This is new.?

?Well, I want something to remember for all time.?

?I promise you?ll remember El Chupacabra. Is that good enough??

?Your dog isn?t the kind of thing I want to remember for the rest of my life, Heero.?

?Then what do you want??

?Go to the prom with me.?

?No.?

?Why not??

?Why should I??

?Because I asked you to!?

?But, you can only ask one favor a night, and I?m already giving you a massage.?

?You?re so not funny!?

?Hn.?

He continued massaging until she asked him to stop. She sighed and looked up at him. The night reflecting in his eyes made him so much more handsome, and she wondered why on earth hadn?t she ever told him?.

?Heero. Please say you?ll do this with me.?

?You really want to do this??

?It would mean the world to me.?

He sighed?.trying so hard not to give in to those baby-blue eyes?.?Happy early birthday, then.?

She squealed and hugged him tightly.

?Why couldn?t you go with Matt??

?Because he?s gay, Heero.?

?Not THAT gay?Could?ve taken you to the prom?.?

?He?s gay, Heero? Okay? He?s gayer than the day is long?He?s?.Marvin Gay! And lemme? tell you something, Heero?..Ain?t no closet big enough for that one.?

He sighed, and hugged her back. Letting her know that he didn?t mind?.Realizing fully well this was the end of his life as he knew it.

?That means that you?re not getting that cute steering-wheel cover for your birthday.?

?So? You in a tux is worth more than a fancy steering-wheel cover any day.?

?What have I gotten myself into??

She continued to hug him until he couldn?t breathe; he then picked her up, and dumped her in the water. Doused, she got up and stared at him-- her hair a hot mess. She decided to declared war, and attempted to douse him?.to no avail?..They ended the night with a truce, doing their secret handshake, and going to bed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

?Relena! What are you doing? Stop! Get your leg up higher. You know what jazz kick looks like??
She continued to dance to the music. It was early Friday afternoon. She had private dance lessons today. Her instructor had already set her up for a Julliard audition, and she was literally working her butt off. Sweat poured down all over her body as she tried her best to be?.her best. The whole time Jim was yelling at her.
?Relena, what?s the name of this song? If you?re Gonna Get Through This, do you think you?re graceful? NO! Do it again! Come on, Lena. Get to it.?
They had no idea how much that song related to Heero?.Watching her?.It was going to take a miracle to keep from blurting anything out whilst watching her do that?He sighed and waited for her to finish. He started singing in his mind?I gotta? get through this?..
The music started over, and she began dancing again. The CD was a mix, and she showed off many dancing styles. She was currently in the jazz part, where Duke Ellington would miraculously start singing pop. (i.e. A Train somehow meshed into Gotta Get Through This?) Heero walked into a room adjacent from where she was practicing. There was a window where he could see what she was doing, which allowed those inside to see out, but those in the studio couldn?t see a thing. This way, professionals could watch the dancers without the dancers freaking out. He watched her move. Her tiny little leotard was drenched, and her leggings were droopy from all the movement. Her tiny little ballet slippers made no noise as she flew across the floor. She moved as graceful as anything she?d ever seen, and in that instant he knew she would make it to Julliard. He saw all she was putting in to it, and he knew. She would make it.
?Stop! Relena, do you see what you?re doing? Stop! Ed, stop the music. Look!? Jim walked up to her, and held her steady, forcefully, Heero noted, and lifted her leg to an awkwardly high position. She didn?t even flinch. Her breathing, however, was above normal. The poor thing was beyond tired.
?This is what you?re supposed to look like,? he said holding her in place. ?Arabesque,? he dropped her, and walked off. ?Get it through your head, Relena. They won?t accept this trash you?re giving me.?
She looked worn out, but there was some kind of spark in her eye, and she continued. Heero was getting upset with this guy. He continued to watch her, glad she couldn?t see him. It was a surprise, him being here. He was gonna? take her late that night?.
?Relena!!!!? Jim screamed. It was a mad scream. She did something wrong again.
He saw her fall, panting and shuddering. Jim stayed where he was, and yelled.
?What?s this? Are you giving up? Tell me now, because I refuse to waste my time on you if that?s the case.?
She got up, still panting, sweat falling down her brow onto the floor. She looked so confident?She looked untouchable?And Jim smiled. ?Let?s get started.?
The music started up once more, and he began yelling yet again.
?You?re confusing pop with salsa. Don?t move your?.There you go. Good.?
A compliment, Heero thought, How nice of him.
She managed to run the whole routine through, except for some little part that Heero heard Jim tell her to skip for now.
?Good, Lena. Stop the music. I want to see your move. Go ahead.?
She pulled out a chair that was in front of her, and sat on it to where the back was to her front, and she was sitting with her legs spread apart in order to sit on it.
?Go. We?ll try it slowly at first, but I want it to get there soon. You can?t practice this without a spotter yet?So do not practice this alone.?
What is she going to do that was so dangerous? This couldn?t be THAT bad?.I mean?It?s just a chair?.
She looked tentative at first, but then did it just because Jim was giving her the ?eye?. What Heero saw her do made him stand on edge with worry.
She place her hands on the top part of the back of the chair, and somehow hoisted herself?Her whole body. It was beyond slow?..She eventually was balancing upside-down on the chair, holding on to the top, and then flipped down when she?d begun to loose her balance.
That?s what gymnastics?ll do for ya??.but wow?..
?Good. That was better. But, I want you to try it faster. There?s a time limit, after all, but I guarantee if you pull this off, you?re in.?
She nodded, and started to do it again.
Fifty times she did it. Heero counted. He thought she would fall every time, but she kept it, and to top that off, she was getting faster each time. He was beyond happy for her when she was finished. She looked so tired. He was worried about the way that Jim guy was treating her, too. He met her in the gym room, and hugged the life out of her.
?What are you doing here?? she asked, astounded.

?Watching you. You?re amazing.?

A blush came o her cheeks. ?I?ve still got a ways to go.?

?Well, not tonight you don?t.?

?What??

?You?re going out with me tonight.?

?Heero, I can?t. I?m so tired.?

?It?s?.4:30 now?.Go home and get some sleep. I?ll pick you up at 10:30. Wear something?..hot.?

?Heero??

?Come on. I?ll take you home.?

?I drove??

?Okay, see?.I drove you, Lena. Do you remember?? he looked at her questioningly. ?Your parents were gonna? pick you up, but they got called into a meeting. I?m here instead. Is that okay??

?Oh, gosh?Yeah. I?m sorry.?

Heero sighed, told her to sit, took her stuff to his car, and then went back to her. ?I?m going to carry you to the car.?

?I can walk. Really, I can.?

?No way.? He picked her up and headed to the car. By the time they had gotten there, she was already asleep. He smiled and drove her home. Once they got to the house, it was 4:45. He out her in bed, and set her alarm clock for 9:45. Surely five hours would be enough. He was going to put something out for her to wear, but decided against it. He left a note by her alarm, and left the house.
She woke up to the stupid buzzer. Why was it the buzzer? It should have been on her CD?.She smacked it, and felt her hand glide across paper. Picking it up, she read it:

Lena,
Get up and get dressed. As 18 year-old seniors, I think it?s past time we indulged ourselves in the night-life. I know this great club. Get up and take a shower. Put on you ?best? clothes. I?ll be there at 10:30.
Love,
Heero

?Best clothes, huh?? she got up to take a shower.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was true. He met her exactly on time?Not that he was never punctual to begin with?But?
She met him outside on her front porch. He looked?Well?.Really good.
?Heero, you wearin? that shirt?, she said playfully. Oh good night, she was going to have a hard time trying NOT to fondle every part of him.
?Well, you said black was my color?I didn?t really know what that meant, but?.Matt helped me with it,? he sighed, obviously annoyed he?d had to spend time with Matt.
She smiled. She loved Matt more than ever now. Heero in his seccy tight black short-sleeved shirt, and his incredibly beyond seccy tight?..tight tight TIGHT blues jeans was almost too much for her. How in the world could a man look so hot?.By just wearing regular clothes? She sighed and left the porch to meet him.
He wasn?t the only one killer. Oh no. She looked HOT. Beyond hot?.There was no way he was going to get through the night with her looking like that?.The skimpy tube top showed off her pierced naval?He remembered when she got that done. He had to sit there listening to her complain the whole time?Then, there were her pants?..He had no idea that anyone could?WEAR pants like that! They were pleather, and laced up at the sides?.Like?.Visible skin at the sides?.It was driving him crazy.
When they finally got to the bar, Heero made sure no man came up to her. Rape didn?t sound good at all, and with what she was wearing, it was bound to happen. He sat them down at a small booth.
?Heero, dance with me.?

?I can?t.?

?Yes you can! It?ll be fun, c?mon!?

?No?Relena?,? he looked over at the dance floor?Dirty dancing was heaven compared to what those people were doing?., ?I really CAN?T?I wasn?t made to function that way.?

?With my help you were. You?re the brains, I?m the teacher. You?ll get it?And quickly, too, I suppose.?

She led a reluctant Heero out to the floor. She looked at him, on the verge of laughing. All he was able to see were the bumping and grinding couples all around him. She sighed, and took his hands, placing them on her waist. She was so tiny?

?Heero, look at me. Look at MY eyes. No one else is here but us.?

He watched her. She moved to the music, and held his hands on her, and let him feel what she was doing. She never broke eye contact. After awhile, Heero was really getting in to it?.Or at least he was doing it well. Soon they were in the majority of the ?dirty? dancers, and Heero felt?free. Free from restrictions and rules, and he lost himself in her eyes. He wanted to stay that way. She smiled at him, and got?.a little?..dirtier. She moved his hands for him, guiding them along her frame. She watched his reaction. Nothing told her to stop. She moved in closer. She let her hands roam his torso now, and moved a leg over his, so that he was baring some of her weight. Heero moaned, but nothing was heard by anyone?s ears over the roaring music. He leaned in to?..

?Hey baby! Why don?t you come over here and do that MY way?? A nasty drunk man grabbed her arm, and drug her over to him. She screamed?It was the only thing she could do. Heero was by her side in an instant.

?If you want to live, let her go.?

?Well, well, well, what have we got here? A jealous boyfriend? Back off, partner, this little cowgirl?s gonna? get a ride she?ll never forget.?

Heero would have reacted. He would have, but he saw Relena?s face, and he knew that the man holding her wasn?t going to part so easily?.In the blink of an eye, she kneed him right where it hurt. She looked at the wriggling man on the floor.

?How was that ride, partner? You want another go, or should I stop the pony??

Heero laughed outright. Threw his head back, even. She hooked her arm in his, and asked to leave. He happily complied. They exited with him still laughing. Once in the car, he head calmed down. He sighed deeply, and returned to normal. Relena found his state amusing, and chuckled lightly as she looked out the window.

?Heero, where are we going??

?I didn?t want to go home just yet??

?Okay?So?Where are we?..?

He didn?t have to answer her question, as he had stopped at an old spooky barn. In growing up, they had always thought it haunted, and Relena was scared to death of it. She noticeably stiffened.

?No way. I?m not getting out of the car.?

?Yes you are.?

?No. I?m. Not.?

?I danced for you, now you do this for me.?

?No deal.?

?Don?t you want to see if it?s really haunted??

?No.?

?Lena, Come on. I promise nothing will happen.? He lifted her chin. ?You have my word.?

She faltered a moment before she closed her eyes, and opened the door.

?You had best hold my hand tighter than humanly possible.?

?No problem. I thought I?d have to drag you in.?

?That?s not funny.?

They had entered the barn, and Heero felt her press up against him and shiver. He wrapped an arm around her, and they continued in. There was?.hay. That was all. Not even a spider?Well, maybe a few?But all in all, it was just a normal little barn?Heero smiled as she let herself calm down. He still held her hand as he led her to the top of the barn. They climbed a wooden creaky stair, and he felt her tighten her hold on his hand.

?It?s safe. I checked it out earlier. It can hold us.?

?Heero??

They got to the top of the barn, and it still creaked ominously. She stiffened again.

?Heero?..? she whimpered. All in all, too, she was afraid of heights.

?Relena, it?s fine. He held on to her tightly, pulling her in for a hug. He wouldn?t let go until she stopped shaking. She slowly calmed down, and he loosened his grip on her.
?There, see? Everything?s?.?
He didn?t get a chance to finish his statement, because the floor underneath them gave way. He instinctively pulled her in closer than they had been when they were dancing, and braced himself for impact?.Which was not bad at all. They landed in hay. He knew he was okay, but then he checked Relena. She was buried under a huge pile, and it was all over her. He quickly moved it all away, upset that the night had been ruined. He knew she was physically fine, but he hoped her mental state was okay?.To his surprise, she was laughing.
Not only laughing, but laughing hard.

?You should have seen the look on your face!!!!? she cracked up, unable to breathe.
He sighed, and continued to pull hay off of her. She continued to laugh. When he finished, he quirked an eyebrow at her?She was still laughing. He pinned her arms above her head, and got on top of her.

?Listen?That wasn?t funny. I was really scared.?

?I know!!!! That?s why it was so funny!? she laughed.

?No it wasn?t.? he said, still holding her.

?You know what else??

?I don?t think I want to know.? He sighed, and loosened his grip on her. Her arms were free, and she used that to her advantage. She gently grabbed his head, pulling it down, and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips.

?It was worth being frightened. You look really cute when you?re scared, Yuy. Did any of your girlfriends ever tell you that??

She tried to get up, but realized that Heero wouldn?t let her.

?Hee?.?

He leaned in close to her. She could feel his breath on her cheek. Her heart pounded, and she felt herself grow dizzy. He leaned in closer to her, and she found herself doing the same. She felt her lips meet his?They were so soft, so supple?He felt so good against her. He slowly pushed her down so that she was lying on the hay once again. They never seperated. She became daring at one point, and traced his lips with her tongue, allowing herself the pleasure of memorizing his taste. She shuddered as he did it back to her. As soon as she allowed him access, he devoured her. She tasted so good to him, and she melted within his grasp. Relena, he thought, was a fast learner?.When they finally parted, she reached up to pull a bit of hay from his unruly hair.

?Come with me.?

?What?? he questioned.

?Come with me to New York for my audition.?

?Relena, I??

?I can?t do this without you, Heero?I need you there.?

It was then, at that moment that he knew he would always give her his very best. And his very best right now was aiding her complete her life. He kissed her one more on the lips.

?I would do anything for you,? he whispered. She smiled, and pulled him down for another romantic moment.

Oh, you guys! You make me wanna' glomp y'all all day long! Okay, I will! *glomps them all day long*
Tee hee! Yes. Matt is gay...And if you think it's easy writing gay dialogue....think again. I had to turn to Will & Grace for guidance....
Ahhh.....The kiss.....I tried to make myself tingly when I wrote it, so, Engrish, I'm glad it worked for you! ^_^
And, oh...the fish heads....*snickers*...I had to have his day end badly....What's worse? You tell me. I don't know.
Well, peeps, ya'll call the shots. I WILL be finishing this. Thank you all for your support. I want to thank you all soooooo much, especially my big sis, who made me take steps I didn't want to take, but they were for the best....
Wicked, BTW....Remind me to vent about something later....I've got some MAJOR butt-kicking to do in the direction of Samford University....a.k.a. SATAN'S LAIR!!!!!!

Thanks, all of you. It means the world to me. Kisses and hugs....and maybe even....a glomp or two.....

Your friend,
Melville's Best Friend

The circus midgets were even funnier the second time around. *snickers* Men and their cars.... I've never seen the point in going ga-ga over a car. *shakes head*

I love the way Matt broke it to Relena. At that moment I wouldn't have minded being Heero, until the fish heads of course. Classic. You know, it's not a good thing to spread the Mark, Rick, or Steve comment around. I have a cousin named Steve and several other family members named Rick.

I too love the way they FINALLY kissed! Weeeeeee!!!! Now all we need to do is replace Relena with me and replace Heero with Trowa.... Lovely I tell you. Simply lovely.

Your big sis,
Wicked

P.S. I was NE'ER upset with you!!!! Oh and don't forget to rant!!!!

[shadowcat]

yaayyyyyyyyyyyy.....can't get over it...THEY KISSED!!!!!!!!
Thank you MBF, now im gonna smile for the rest of the day, you made me happy!!!!!
