Trust in Me

Chapter Two: "Get the facts, Yuy. Maxwell and she are here for nothing else than a date."
He tried to concentrate. He honestly did.
But after reading the same line for the fifth time straight, Heero threw down the manual in disgust and swiveled around on his chair to face his computer. Starting it up and logging on, Heero stretched his fingers and momentarily reverted back into ?Perfect Soldier? mode.
He needed to hack into some heavily guarded networks.
When the front doors of the grand mansion were opened, Duo was treated to the sight of an unrivaled vision. As he watched Relena Peacecraft step through the doorway, Duo felt a satisfied smile tug at the corner of his mouth. Too bad you?re not here, buddy. Oh, Heero. What you would give to see what I?m seeing right now.
Offering his arm, a suggestive smile, and receiving one back, Duo led Relena down the smoothly sculpted stairs toward his black convertible. He leaned over and whispered in her ear as they slid onto the leather seats, getting a laugh in reply.
?This should be fun.?
Heero got in just in time to see them drive away. He silently fumed, watching the black car speed its way down the street until it disappeared from his view. Pausing for a moment and letting his hands rest, Heero thought the situation through.
Now, if I were Maxwell, where would I take her?
?Here we are, de Ross ? the classiest of the classiest restaurants. Where else would I go first to take a girl out?? Duo exclaimed, pulling into a parking slot. ?Actually, if I had the choice, I?d take you out to the nearest beach, but we?ve got something to do here. Like eat! There?s plenty of time for fun in the sand later.?
Relena smiled and took his offered hand, pulling herself out of the car. ?Nice choice, Duo. Too bad we can?t go there right now. I?d like a visit to the beach myself. Brings back a lot of memories.?
Looking at Relena?s profile carefully, Duo realized what she?d meant. A memory flashed through his head of a time late at night when he and Relena had talked till almost dawn. I saw him lying there in the sand, looking for the world like he was dead. That?s the moment I knew my life had changed?
Before Relena could step into the restaurant, she felt Duo?s clasp on her hand tighten slightly. She looked at him, a question in her eyes.
He answered. ?We?ll go, I promise.?
An hour later and Heero was able to track them down, spotting Duo?s trademark braid swinging in full sight of his view. Taking a closer look and glancing passed Duo, Heero all of a sudden felt all the air leave his lungs in a rush that left him feeling dizzy.
Relena, literally, took his breath away.
Her hair shone a muted gold in the candlelit room, the locks curling and flowing down in unrestricted waves. Her face was animated, cerulean blue eyes crinkled in amusement at what she was saying, her cheeks flushed in a natural blush that only served to draw a person?s gaze to her eyes. But it was her lips that commanded Heero?s attention. They were pink and full, stretching over straight white teeth as Relena smiled a smile reserved only for those who were of close acquaintance.
People like Duo? His mind interrupted. Get the facts, Yuy. Maxwell and she are here for nothing else than a date.
Shaking his head hard, Heero allowed his gaze to go lower? and nearly bit his tongue off in the process.
Relena was dressed modestly compared to the women around her, but even in her simple black dress, she was the subject of many covert and appreciative stares. The dress itself was made of a material that moved in sync with her actions, reaching to just above her knees in an angled cut, its straps hugging the edge of smooth bare shoulders and scooping down just far enough to give a tantalizing hint of bosom.
Heero couldn?t have looked away even if he had wanted to.
But his stare of longing was broken as, in his view, a larger masculine hand reached out and grasped Relena?s left hand.
Heero felt his world grow dark as realization set in.
Duo.
As he grasped Relena?s delicate hand, Duo felt sweat pop out on his forehead. ?I can?t believe that soon, my ring is going to be on this hand for the rest of our lives. I can?t wait to see what it?ll look like.? He gently caressed Relena?s ring finger, his eyes bright with excitement.
Relena herself was tentatively picturing her future but was conscious enough to calm the frazzled nerves of her date. She laid a comforting hand on Duo?s shoulder. ?It?s going to be fine, Duo. The wedding will be unforgettable.?
Feeling the tension in his shoulders melt away, Duo was finally able to relax and enjoy his meal. As he picked up his fork, he kissed Relena on the cheek, relief written all over his face. ?Thanks so much, babe. You wouldn?t believe how badly I needed to hear that.?
But before they could continue on with their meal, Duo felt a prickle of awareness. Looking around casually, he tried to find the source of his unease, but Relena noticed.
?What?s wrong?? she asked.
Finishing his scan of the room and shrugging it off as just his nerves, Duo waved his hand dismissively.
?Ah, nothing. It?s just me being a little high-strung, considering all that?s going to happen. But for the record: I just have the strangest feeling we're being watched.?
If it had been his own computer, Heero would have sent it flying against the wall long before he saw that kiss. But since he was at work, that tempting option was withheld from him. Heero?s only choice was to sit, watch, and burn holes through the skull of his braided friend.
If only cameras were equipped with guns, I?d be happier.
