Blissful Ignorance

I found out that there is another story that kind of relates to the same subject as mine but don't worry. I didn't copy and the story will come out differnet.



I sat in my office chair facing the window. It was a cool autumn day. The leaves were flying around and the children were running around in the streets. I'm guessing schools over and they're on break. One kid seemed to really catch my attention though. He was a short brown headed boy who looked about seven to eight. He kept running around on the side walk with his arms spread out wide open. I could see his little chubby cheek vibrating. Probably pretending to be an airplane. I couldn't help but smile. Kids were one thing that made me feel good inside. That,girls and food.

My smile suddenly dropped as I thought of her. Her face came into my mind and I swore at myself. Losing my anger I slammed my fists on the desk right on my coffee mug. Hell yeah it hurt but not as much as it probably hurt her. I could feel myself shaking and I dug my head into my arms and cried silently on my desk as everything became obivious around me.

"Duo?"

My head shot up faster then you could say 'my momma's gay with yours' and I quickly tried to cover up myself by rubbing my eyes.

"Duo are you okay?" Asked that silent acrobat.

"Yeah, it's just that i'm so tired and all. Didn't get much sleep last night." I said as I continued rubbing my eyes.

"Duo, it's been about three weeks now. You have to get over it. I'm sure she wouldn't have wanted you to act like this."

I finally pulled my hands free from my face and glared at him.

"How can you think that after all these years together, I could just forget her like that?!"

Trowa's face went still and he nodded. I took a deep breath and layed back into my chair and pinched my nose.

"Sorry man, it's just that..." I could feel the tears rolling down my face again. "I really miss her. I didn't even get to know if it was a he or a she."

Trowa threw some files down on my desk and came around to pat me on the back.

"Everyone loses someone. It's just how it goes. The world is never a joyful place. There will always be pain and misery."

I tried to take in some deep breaths but they all came out hard. Trowa walked towards the door and gave me one last look before leaving. Who would have ever thought that the man was so passionate.

I went back to look out at the window and found a couple of boys playing football in the rec field across the street. Without even knowing it, I found myself already outside my office and walking out of the building.

"Because of personal reasons, I would like to take an early vacation Lady Une."

Lady Une put down the files that she had been previously looking at and she stared at the person one the other side of the screen of the intercom.

"Early vacation?"

"Yes."

She shook her head and put her full undivided attention at the young vice foreign minister.

"How early are we talking about?"

"If it's possible.....for about a year."

"A year?!" She got up and slammed her hands on the table. Relena closed her eyes and took a swallow before continuing. This was not a lady that you wanted to mess with.

"Lady Une please. I really need this. I just feel a little...stressful. I'm perfectly comfortable about working on my work at home but just no conferences and publisty."

"May I ask why you are asking for this?"

Relena bit her lip and looked down for a second. "I'm under going some...changes."

Lady Une's eyebrow went up as she sat back down. "How so?"

"That's not the point Lady. Just please, give me this favor. Think of it as a disappearence from the publics eye. I'll still be working on my work."

"What if they ask for you?"

"Just tell them that I needed to get away for awhile."

"For a year?"

"Would you rather me resign then?" Relena said getting more serious.

She shook her head and pulled out an aspirin from her drawer and got a glass of water. In one gulp, she swallowed everything and grabbed her forehead.

"Tell you what. I'll think about it."

Relena smiled and nodded.

"Thank you." And the link was terminated.

I sank down in my chair and sighed. Doing the next best thing I could think of, I started banging my head on the chair headboard over and over and over again. I really wished I could bang myself in the head so much that I would lose all the brain cells and just die but even that was hard for me. I looked over at the digital clock on the wall and hoped it was time to leave. For once, things went my way. I grabbed my suitcase and was about to leave when I stopped to look out the window. Time flys by fast when your enjoying yourself but later stops when life turns into a living hell. It's probably going to be like that for the rest of my life.

I decided to walk home instead of riding. You never know. A little fresh air might make my day a whole lot better.

There was a soft breeze and if felt good. I just loved having that feeling when the air goes through your clothes and through our your whole body. Sure it gave me the chills but it was also a nice shivery feeling. I couldn't help but look down at my stomach, so far everything still looked fine but Sally said it wouldn't start growing until a couple of more months. I shook my head and tried to think of other things. I looked across the street to see a group of boys playing football. They sure looked like they were having fun. Wow, that one tall boy sure can play....wait a second....that braid.


Duo ran past another boy and then another until he reached his goal.

"Touch down!!! WHOOOOOOHOOOO!!!!" He shouted as he threw the ball down and did his own victory dance which looked very ridiculous. No matter how much Relena wanted to walk away because of him, she couldn't help but stay and watch.

See watched him as he grabbed his Preventer jacket from a nearby bench and swing it around his back to put it on. He waved good bye to the boys and headed back to the building with his hands in his pockets and his head down. See just stood there as he walked past her, unnoticed.

"Little old to be playing football with kids their age don't you think?"

Duo stopped and turned around to face her. He had a shock look on his face for one, she was right there and he didn't even notice and two, she was still talking to him.

"Your never too old for anything."

With her hand holding on to her briefcase and his with his hands in his pockets, they stood still as the wind breezed past, rustling up their hair.

With out warning, Relena dropped her suitcase and ran into Duo's arms which caught him by surprise since his hands were in his pockets.

"Relena.."

"Duo please."

Duo gave a slight nod as he held her tighter in his arms. While a certain someone watched from a window in the Preventer's building in shock.




Yea that was short but I have a project due and ahhhhhh. Damn school!

Can you say,"out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Kind of odd that Trowa knows.Unless he doesn't know what you want us to think he knows,which means he's referring to someone else.Hilde perhaps.

Ha! Shock to say the least. She is not for Duo to hold, in greater scheme of things.

Fun stuff. I await more.
