99 Ways
?Are you ready??
?No.?
Duo sighed and sat down, defeated. ?If you?re not ready, then I don?t see why we?re all here.?
?I?m not ready, but I?m going to do it anyway.?
?Like that time you weren?t going to open your parachute?but did.?
?Hn.?
?You know, marriage isn?t a life or death mission, Heero.?
?It is to me.?
?And that?s why you will NEVER be normal.?
?She?s here.?
?This is time number what??
?100?
?She?s either dense or playing hard to get.?
?Neither. There were?extenuating circumstances.?
Duo threw his head back and laughed.
?Extenuating circumstances??
?Everything?s set. Are you ready??
?Aye, aye, captain. Go nab yourself a wife.?
?Mission accepted.?
?Quatre, what am I doing here??
?Sitting.?
He sat her in a chair, smoothed the wrinkles in her dress, and tucked a misplaced strand of hair behind her ear.
Eyes hazed for a minute as he scrutinized her appearance. He smoothed a make-up line here, and added lip gloss there, and?
?There! You sit, and I?ll play.?
She sighed. One could expect these things from Quatre. One always had to look their best in his presence. He was like a long lost brother.
No. Scratch that.
He was like?a straight gay man.
No. That?s too?bleh.
He was her best friend.
She smiled as she realized that would work.
He walked to a grand piano and started playing Chopin. Though she was displeased with being brought to Quatre?s mansion?ALONE?she enjoyed the aspiring pianist, and listened with closed eyes.
When, sporadically, the song changed to one she had never heard. The tone was distant, yet close?so happy, yet so sad?the haunting melody filled her ears and warmed her heart. This was romance music at its pique.
Obviously Quatre had brought her here to hear his new piece. She smiled and relaxed more.
It sounded almost?like a prologue?
?I?d like to take the time to say what?s on my mind??
She opened her eyes suddenly as someone began singing.
?Open your eyes, your heart, your ears, if you would be so kind.?
Eyes widened in shock as she saw Heero standing besides Quatre?s piano?
SINGING.
?Though daft you very well may be, I think there?d be no harm??
Speechless. She was totally speechless.
?Expressing vows for you, my love. One-hundredth time?s the charm.?
?Excuse me??
Trowa came out then, lighting a candle as Heero continued singing. He raised a finger to his mouth. She arched an eyebrow. For now, she would remain quiet.
The beat became suddenly faster, as he moved into a happier mode.
?I started out old very fashioned,
Proposing on one bended knee,
Unfortunately, you were drunk, I discovered
And ended up puking on me.?
She heard a small chuckle from behind Quatre?s drapes. She rolled her eyes upon realizing Duo was the hidden snickerer.
?The second time (for you) I tried and I thought
That you?d like a new teddy bear.
Though Fed EX got it all confused and mixed up
And instead they gave you underwear.?
She blushed.
So THAT?S where all the anonymous undergarments had come from?
?Tries 3-11 were stupid, I?ll say,
Though noble and valiant I?ll flout.
For how many men can you say tried to woo you
And ended up covered in trout??
She threw her head back and laughed whole-heartedly. Duo?s overly loud throat clearing halted her.
?He?s not kidding.?
She was too stunned to do anything but blink.
?One time I sat down and tried Scrabble
And you?d end up saying ?I do?
Though when I sat down and tried Scrabble,
I found I was missing L, I, V and U.?
?That explains why ?OE YO? was on the board when Dorothy and I came back.?
?Through cam-er-as, lights and tall buildings,
Mowed lawns and a house built for two
I tried lots of flowers and chocolates,
and puppies and limos and guppies,
each day for two months. So please
TEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL
Me that you do!!!!!!
No one else could be thoroughly,
WONDERFULLY
Utterly
YUY??
As you.?
?Did he finally reach some sort of chorus?? Duo questioned.
?I don?t know. I fell asleep after the part about the bear?? Wufie responded.
?I think it?s wonderful??
?You would, Relena.?
?Through poetry, numbers and ping pong,
Through checkers and roses I tried.
I couldn?t sneak into your house to propose,
?Cause the minute I tried to, I fried.?
?Oh?Sorry?The electric fence Milliardo set up??
Duo nodded.
?I?m sooooooo sorry??
?Fifteen different sports that we played I was trying,
Though you didn?t give me much chance.
Then there was the time at the Renaissance fair...
And I got knocked out from a lance.?
?But that was funny??
?I called and left messages daily.
Until ?I? broke my mobile phone.
How could I forget that when I?m with Duo
He?s seldom NOT accident prone??
?I still say you broke it. YOU ran into ME.?
?I hired a plane or two Tuesday the 6th.
To write ?I love you? in the sky.
And all went accordingly until the storm
And the planes had to stop after ?I?.?
?Ohh?The entire office was wondering what it was going to spell. It kind of looked like a last resort before someone died?I WILL BE BACK?.Or?something??
?I bought lots of plants for your garden,
I?d spell out our names in the dirt.
But I found I?m not good at
The planting, or digging, or weeding,
Or feeding them water. I?m needing
Someone!!!!!!
Who?ll tell me what to do!!!!
No one else could be thoroughly,
WONDERFULLY
Utterly
YUY??
As you.?
"Well, Heero, seriously...all you did in the war was kill. What made you think you couldn't kill a plant?"
"Duo, shut up. I think it's sweet and cute that he can't take care of a plant."
"Feed me Seymour....FEED ME...."
THWACK.
"Not another word, Maxwell. You got it?"
?Time forty-six I tried some lyrics and poems.
I sat and I thought really hard.
And all I came up with was ?Darling I love you?
I found on an old Hallmark card.?
?A Hallmark card? Heero, really.?
?Yeah, well he WAS looking at a Halloween one before that. Somehow I don?t think ?The monsters are coming for you?.and your candy? would have been a proper proposal.?
?The other day I called Mt. Rushmore.
And paid them so they?d add your head.
But after I paid, then they told me
You have to be added AFTER you are dead??
?You wouldn?t look good in stone anyway, Lena.?
She glared. ?Thank you, Duo.?
?Trained pigeons I bought so they?d please you.
A ring on one?s neck was the key.
But when I let out the ring?d pigeon,
It flew off, and went on a car-pooping spree?
?His, to be exact. He has yet to clean it.?
?Ew.?
?Through Castner Knotts, Dillards, and Gucci,
Through Proda, Liz Taylor, and Gap,
Berghdorff Goodman, Armoni, I tried,
All I could afford?was their wrap.?
?As in wrapping paper??
She laughed outright.
?But that?s some NICE wrapping paper??
?I never knew how to propose to a girl.
The doctor did not teach me how.
And as for mysterious bombings of stuff
That was yours?I?ll pay for it now??
?So it was YOU who blew up my toiletries! STOP THE MUSIC!!!!!?
She walked over to him and slapped him across the face, leaving a stunned audience, a red mark, and an even more shocked Heero, as she kissed the ultimate life out of her lover.
When she let go for breathing purposes, she glared at him, and decided to explain, as he obviously had no idea.
?Heero Yuy, you do NOT have to propose in an ostentatious manner to get me to say yes. You don?t have to?send me flowers or build me a monument, or write on a tennis ball ?marry me? or spell it out?attempt to, anyway, in scrabble or even try to make a fireworks show in my bedroom?.which I can only ASSUME is what you were trying to do when my toiletries exploded.
?You don?t have to get on one knee or buy me clothes?or wrapping paper. You DON?T have to end up smelling of trout for me. All you have to do is just ask.?
The room grew eerily quiet as she finished. She cleared her throat, crossed her arms, and stared at him, waiting.
To the astonishment of all, he turned to Quatre and asked that the prologue be played again.
?Time 100: annoy you until you say yes.?
She blinked. This was another attempt? This was his 100th attempt? To annoy her until she said yes? A twitch moved inside her, and grew faster and faster until the laughter forced her to close her eyes and hold her sides.
Heero, having no idea she would react this way, stared and waited for her answer.
He received it as she began kissing him again, all over his face, laughing as she did so. He sought her lips after he could no longer take her games, and kissed her with more passion than he had ever mustered before. She, for one, immediately stopped laughing, and fell into his arms after it was over.
?Will you marry me??
?I dunno. Where?s the ring??
He pulled out a thin band of gold, and helped it ease its way onto her finger. His eyes sought hers for an answer, even when he already knew in his heart. His whole being knew.
?I love you.?
?I should hope so, Heero,? she smiled. ?Yes. I?ll gladly marry you.?
They leaned in for another priceless moment as four ?ahems? found their way to the lover?s ears.
?Could you guys?go somewhere else??
?It?s dishonorable to kiss in public, Yuy.?
?You?d probably like a more?private room.?
?WAY TO GO HEERO!!!!!!!!!!!!?
And the rest of the day consisted of passionate lovemaking, wonderful music playing, complaining about why someone had allowed themselves to be forced into going to the ridiculous ceremony, lounging and looking pensive, and being a chibi hyper friend who jumped and squirmed every time the couple came out of the room to get something they needed for??play time?.
And Heero and Relena lived happily ever after.
THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disclaimer: I own the song...everything else isn't mine. ^__^ Including the Scrabble remark. I stole that from J Alberghini. *sorry, it was so cute, and I needed some more attempt topics!!!!! ^__^;;;;*
And I used the cell scene from kmf's ditty... *which, btw, was cuter than words!!!!*
I hope that's okay with y'all, as I'm giving you credit!!!
Those wonderful ideas weren't mine. I wish they were...Those belong to kmf and J Alberghini as I already stated, and you all need to go read them!!!!!
So...there. This is dedicated to Rose because...just becuase. ^__^ Happy belated or early birthday...or just...take this lil' present and...be happy? I hope so. ^__^;;;
Thanks one and all, NOW!
*sighs*
I am officially finished. *throws away all other fics....then gets them back out....*
BLAST!
Methinks I shall never be free.......*sigh*
Thanks again, y'all!!!!!
