The Symbol of Temptation
Epilogue
The wedding was rescheduled and held three days after Alex was captured. Because of Relena?s insistence, he wasn?t charged with murder or assault until all the evidence against him had been collected. She wanted to make sure he didn?t have the slightest chance of regaining his freedom, ever. And neither did Heero.
He was surprised at himself during the wedding. Relena had worn the same dress, declaring she would not go through the hassle of choosing another one, and she looked even more beautiful this time than the first. She would be his wife, and teach him to overcome what he didn?t understand about himself. Everything he needed and wanted in life would come to him when she was happy.
Everywhere he looked, everything he touched. Everything was her.
When asked by the priest if she would take him as her husband, she made a point of saying ?I do? as loudly as her manners would allow her. Heero guessed that she?d figured out his bit of revenge against Alex.

He smirked at the knowledge that Alex was currently watching them kiss, the final seal in their promise to one another. She was promising to be a wife, but he was promising to be so much more. To love her, and to always be there for her would take more courage than anything else he?d ever faced.
He was ready now.
When he?d let go, when he?d released his thirst for blood, he?d made a choice. It was her words that had struck him, like a switch hitting a misbehaved child.
?If you kill him for my sake, then everything I?ve worked for has been for nothing!?
No words were truer than that. She?d been through so much and sacrificed so many things, and yet she still refused to condone the death of the man who tormented her. What a character she was. He was nothing, nothing compared to her.
And neither was Alex.
As they walked up the isle, hand in hand, Heero turned to her and smiled. She smiled back as brightly as ever, and he knew that it would be ok. He would make it ok. Nothing would ever harm her, or take him away from her. He would be by her side, always, and he would obey the personal laws by which she lived.
He would not hurt anyone ever again.
Just like he?d promised.
In the reception hall, he caught sight of Laura. The person who?d originally caused him to open up. She was definitely Zechs?s daughter. She had young, innocent eyes, but she saw things. She saw him, and he was glad for that. If it weren?t for Laura, he never would have come to Earth. Had she not been in Relena?s care, as Zechs had requested, Relena would never have been in danger. He never would have been needed. Perhaps, one day, he?d tell her that. A long, long time from now.
After Alex was taken to the hospital, (in restraints,) Zechs had told him something Relena hadn?t. Mrs. Darlian had introduced Alex to Relena on the night of his and Noin?s wedding. The wedding was kept extremely private, and Alex had attended on behalf of his entire family. His family, it seemed, did not appreciate the Darlians? advanced social status, and took Relena?s position as Vice Foreign Minister as an insult.
They had sent Alex as an emissary in the hopes that he would make the young daughter of the late Mr. Darlian his fianc?, after which he would publicly humiliate her and dishonor the Darlian family. Their plan failed, however, when Alex fell in love with her. When Relena didn?t return his love, he snapped. Having received everything he wanted in life, he wasn?t accustomed to rejection and took it personally. He tried to force himself on Relena in order to make her pregnant and then order her to marry him. That way, both he and his family would have what they wanted. The only reason he didn?t succeed was because Zechs had found him pushing Relena into a dark room and demanded to know what was going on. Alex had been blaming him ever since.
In order to get revenge, and to get what he wanted, Alex tried to kidnap Laura. She?d been born three years before Zechs and Noin were married, and they?d left her in the care of the Dryeks to protect her from their enemies during the war. When Alex discovered that Zechs had a daughter, he set out to claim her as his own and announce that she was his and Relena?s daughter. After the Dryeks were killed, Laura was sent to stay with Relena until Alex had been found. They didn?t know about his plans until they?d stumbled upon Dr. Netkin. It was only a matter of time after that.
When Heero heard all of this, he tried to push it away. If he dwelled on it, he would just end up in the hospital smothering Alex with a pillow, which would break his promise to Relena. Instead, he merely accepted the fact that now he knew everything there was to know about the situation, and that everything was fine.
Hours later, when he stood before his new wife in their honeymoon suite, he shook once again. It was her gentle touch that steadied him, and her soothing voice that calmed him. Then, when she beckoned, he finally went to her.
And she was everything again.
