Within Relena's Shame (6)

Disclaimer: It should speak for itself. But I'll say it anyway, I don't own GW or much else for that matter. Except my obsession for Trowa. That's all mine baby.
AN: Okay it starts off a tad angsty then ends up rather lighthearted and dare I say, fluffy? Don't kill me! Oh and it's not all that long either.
Within Relena's Shame: Chapter Six
by Wicked Child
Nothing really happened that night. At least nothing that Heero could justifiably kill Wufei for. This he knew for certain as he stayed awake the entire night, watching the two figures sleep next to one another from his hidden niche. Relena slept peacefully moving occasionally while Wufei was plagued by nightmares and old memories.
Serves him right, Heero thought. Probably dreaming of what I?m going to do to his sorry ass.
But Wufei?s dreams had nothing to do with an irate Wing Zero pilot. His mind kept replaying two scenes over and over again, one long passed the other all too recent. At times they were separate entities, clear and precise and sharp as a double edged sword. Other times, they intertwined becoming mixed and blurred, past and present, no longer as sharp but indistinguishable. As the dream wore on the more mixed and mutated it became until the two scenes became one.
Wufei woke with a start, slightly damp to find the morning sun shining through one of the large Romanesque windows. A slender arm lay across his waist.
Relena.
Wufei let his eyes travel that arm to its owner who still lay sleeping, a smile playing across her lips. She looked beautiful. It reminded him of a song that Sally loved, Angel of the Morning.
No wonder Heero always insisted that he be the only one to wake her. He wanted to keep the sleeping angel to himself. Selfish bastard.
Heero watched as Wufei admired his woman. A growl sounded deep within prompting the other man to look over. Heero was silently shocked. He hadn?t expected the growl to be audible.
Wufei hissed when he spotted Heero in a corner of the bedroom suite. ?Yuy.? Unconsciously Wufei pulled the sheet up to cover Relena.
Heero?s eyes hardened even more, if that were possible. ?Chang.?
?What the hell are you doing here??
?My job.?
?Your job is to stay out of sight.?
?I am.? Heero gestured toward the bed. ?You?re in bed with her. Tell me, does she see me or is she still sleeping??
Wufei?s eyes narrowed. ?If she wakes and sees you, I will kill you.?
?Isn?t that my line??
?Yuy,? Wufei warned before he felt Relena move next to him effectively shutting him up.
??Fei?? she mumbled slowly as her arm lifted itself from his waist and brushed against Wufei?s bare chest. It was an unconscious gesture but it caused one man to shudder with his unknown sexual desire. It caused another man to cry silently. Relena was unaware of it all as she sat up groggily and smiled.
?Morning ?Fei.?
Wufei stared at her a moment before sneaking a glance at Heero?s corner which was devoid of human life.
?Wufei? Is something wrong??
Wufei looked back at her and smiled. ?No. Just some bad dreams.?
Relena frowned. ?What were they about??
?My failures.?
Relena?s frown deepened. ?That what Heero said.?
Wufei started. ?Heero??
?Yes,? Relena nodded. ?He was insistent that he stay to guard me after the third to last assassination attempt. The one you guys refer to as the Star Wars incident. I insisted that he at least sleep in a bed to which he refused. He said he couldn?t protect me if he was sleeping.?
?And?? Wufei prompted against all better judgment.
Relena smiled. ?I told him that he couldn?t very well protect me passed out on the floor. I knew he hadn?t gotten any sleep for the passed two days. I don?t know what it was that made him agree but he did. In the morning he said he dreamt about his failures.? Relena shrugged. ?Maybe it?s this bed.?
?It?s not your bed,? Wufei said. Mentally he added, it?s the men who sleep in it.
?Hey ?Fei,? Relena said.
?Hn.?
Relena rolled her eyes, ?You even sound like him. No matter. Don?t tell him, not that you would since you two never really liked each other all that much but still don?t tell him. The real reason I wanted him to sleep with me that night was because I knew that?s the only way he?d ever get in here with me.? Silently she prayed that Wufei wouldn?t see that it was also the only way she?d ever get him to sleep next to her as well.
Great girl. Just run through the Gundam pilots like a whore. You?ve taken care of the odd numbers; let?s move on to the evens! Relena sighed. Maybe the not was right. Maybe I am a whore.
?Come,? Wufei said. ?Breakfast is waiting I?m sure.?
~~~
Heero may have vacated the corner in her room, but hadn?t vacated the passage that lead to it. He had heard Relena?s little confession and was once more surprised. He had agreed to lie in her bed only because that was the only way he expected to ever lie beside her. He knew how she felt, or at least how she used to feel about him. Now he wasn?t so sure. In fact, he hadn?t been sure for a long time.
~~~
Heero had been invisible to all occupants since the night he found out the truth. He snuck through the home?s passages unheeded, forever keeping watch on Relena?s safety while keeping even closer watch on Wufei?s actions.
He found it interesting what the other Preventer agents thought about him, Wufei, and Relena. He seemed to come upon conversations, remembering little snippets here and there.
?You know Chang?s snaking the woman. He?s always in her room.?
?Naw man! She?s doing that human freak Yuy.?
?Maybe she?s doing both??
?Yeah right. She?s a little too Miss Priss for that.?
If it were up to Heero, he would have fired then killed the two guards. At least theirs was the worst of conversations.
?Master Wufei! Are you going to grace us with your culinary skills tonight??
?It is my turn after all.?
?Very good! Maybe you can give Davis some tips. He served breakfast the other morning and I am still unable to eat eggs.?
?As soon as this is over, I?ll have Une send him to culinary school.?
?Very good indeed. Maybe we could send Miss Relena as well??
For men who seemed to be devoted to Relena, they weren?t very appreciative of her cooking skills. Not that Heero could blame them. Quatre cooked better than she did. Not by much but at least he didn?t burn water.
So, Heero continued to sneak through the house, listening on conversations secretly hoping Relena would mention him in a favorable manner but knowing she wouldn?t. Instead he got to hear her talk to Dorothy about wedding cakes and other such feminine nonsense.
He was invisible to all eyes. All eyes except for?.
?Meow.?
Heero growled. Wufei?s damned cat. She always knew where he was and usually made it her business to get in his way.
?Move it dammit.?
?Meow.? Bo looked up at him with eyes that said, ?Why don?t you make me.?
Heero growled again and stepped forward. Bo held her ground. He would have done something not so humane but was interrupted by Relena?s voice.
?Hang on Dorothy, I thought I heard something.?
Relena came near the area that hid both Heero and the cat. Heero held his breath, not wishing to be discovered. Bo, on the other hand didn?t care one way or the other.
?Meow.?
?Bo? Is that you sweetie? Come on out here.?
?Meow.?
Relena began searching the room to find the cat but was having no such luck. Bo kept mewing, irritating Heero even more by rubbing herself against his legs and mewing louder.
?Bo! Where are you?? Relena called out in a singsong voice.
?Meow.?
Finally Heero could take it no longer and did the inhumane act he had been wishing to do for the past week.
The next thing Relena heard was an irate cat scurrying away from an unknown assailant.
?Sorry about that Dorothy. I heard my cat but couldn?t find her. Apparently someone else did.? Relena paused. ?Oh I got her while I was on sabbatical. She?s a darling.?

AN: Okay okay, so this chapter wasn't all that great and I apologize for your disappointment but the next couple of chapter should be better with the appearance of the three other G-pilots.

I've been waiting sooooo long!
