Missing by a Mile - Chapter 28

Missing by a MileBy the Black RoseAN: I just can't look at this anymore. I spent most of today editing this (editing adding 2000 words) to get it done in time. I so had this done with 45 minutes to spare, but FFN has been in read-only mode...BAH! Lessee, originally, I think I scheduled chapter 29 (FFN chapter 30) for June 11. I think I can still make that work. The next chapter after that was tentatively scheduled for the 25th. I think that's not going to be possible, unfortunately. I'm going to re-schedule Chapter 30 (FFN chapter 31) for June 30th.Warning: there's a bit of lime towards the end of the chapter.Font formatting legend:'Inner dialogue is separated by single quotes.'Flashbacks are always remembered in italics.Phone dialogue has been bolded to hopefully make it easier to understand (when you get there)<hr size=1 width=100% noshade>Chapter 28 
Six o'clock always came too early, but it seemed to creep under the door with its obnoxious scream and chilly air even earlier today than usual. Relena stretched and sat up - only to come face to face with her dark-eyed and still tired-looking fianc?. "Heero?"He stared at her from across the room, his expression completely unreadable from where he sat perched on his dresser; he looked like he'd been in that position for most of the night.Relena rubbed her eyes and yawned. "Are you?okay?"He nodded."Why?" She clutched the plain, white comforter close to her chest. "?are you over there?" She frowned. "Didn't you sleep?"He shook his head, then put his chin back on top of his forearm. "Couldn't.""I'm sorry," Relena said, but Heero wouldn't look at her. She dropped her gaze to the foot of the bed. "There was room. I know the bed is small, but I would have shared.""It's fine." His voice sounded thick ? quite probably from a lack of sleep.She shivered and dragged the blanket up over her shoulders. "What's wrong? Is something wrong?""You need to get dressed, Relena." Heero didn't move from his position on top of the dresser ? his back slumped against the wall, both knees drawn up to his chest. "I have to get you back before anyone notices you've been gone.""Oh." Relena closed her eyes and sighed. "Do?you mind if I borrow your shower?""Go ahead."She glanced around at the floor, the end of the bed - her eyes searching for her discarded nightgown. Not like Heero hadn't seen?everything he'd see if she stood up and crossed the room wearing nothing at all, but?He finally moved. The speed with which he unfolded his body was strangely slow. Heero always seemed to move with a quickness and certainty that Relena often wished she had. He looked a bit unsteady on his feet with the first step; he walked towards the bed, pausing to pick something up, before extending it in her direction.'My nightgown.'"Thank you." She took it from his hands and pulled it on over her head; as soon as Heero had delivered the object, he turned his back like he was trying not to violate her sense of modesty.Her heart sank from her chest into her stomach and began to slowly dissolve - it released a poison into her system that robbed her limbs of their energy and made her eyes well with tears. She struggled to push the covers down her legs and slowly climbed to her feet.'It was a mistake.' Her mind pronounced its judgment as she shuffled towards the door to the bathroom. 'I shouldn't have believed?"His hand grabbed her arm. Heero spun her around, and seized her waist. He yanked her into a tight embrace."Heero?" Her arms went around his back. Tears slid down her cheeks, and his head came to rest on her shoulder.She slipped her fingers through the hair on the back of his neck. "Do I have to go?" She whispered.His arms tightened around her. She relaxed in his embrace and buried her face into his chest.They passed several moments just holding each other, listening to the steady pound of his heartbeat? He smelled clean, like woods and soap, and she swore his body temperature must be higher than hers ? his skin felt so warm. 'I wish we could just stay right here?'Heero finally let go and stepped back. Relena wiped at her eyes while he reiterated his statement from earlier: "I have to get you back.""I know."He ran his fingers through the hair on the right side of her head. "I don't regret anything, Relena.""I-I'm sorry. I was afraid?""I know." He lifted both corners of his mouth into a small smile. "We're getting married tomorrow."She smiled back. "I know?scary, isn?t it?"The right side of his mouth quirked up a little higher. "Maybe a little. More for you than me."The hand that had tangled itself in her hair came forward to cup the side of her face. She leaned into his touch; Heero bent forward and drew her into a soft, sweet kiss that made her toes curl - and her body ache to be in his arms again.The kiss ended too soon. "I'd better get moving."

After her shower, Relena dressed in one of Heero's t-shirts, then threw on her borrowed trench coat. Her fianc? then led her down to her car. As expected, he commandeered the keys and insisted on driving.
They spent most of the time in silence, but she didn't feel awkward about it. From the set of his jaw and the dark circles under his eyes, Relena guessed that perhaps he was having reservations about the wedding tomorrow. Though she was fairly confident that his concerns had little to do with?well, her."Heero?"He jumped when she touched his arm."Heero, I'm concerned." She retracted her hand and placed it on the seat between them.He kept his eyes on the road. "Hn.""You're shutting me out.""It's not you, Relena.""But?""It's me."She could see the veins in his neck straining against his skin. His knuckles turned white where his fingers gripped the steering wheel. "This doesn't sound?""What I mean is? Argggggh! I don't want to screw this up with you." He took hurried, seething breaths through clenched teeth even as his eyes remained focused on the road. Relena let out the breath she had been holding and scooted closer on the bench seat. She rested her head on his shoulder, and laid her hand on his bicep. The muscle in his arm contracted; he rotated the steering wheel and the car turned onto the main road."It's okay?." Her thumb smoothed over a patch of skin above his elbow. Relena pressed a light kiss to his neck.Finally, she felt him relax. They remained that way for most of the ride. When he pulled the car to a stop at a light, he slid his arm around her shoulders, and rested his cheek on the top of her head."Why?" His voice was low, barely more than a whisper, and it drifted off before she knew what he was asking."Heero?"The light changed and he pulled his hand back to the steering wheel. "When we get there, I'll take you straight to the garage. I'll talk to the driver, and you'll change cars. I'll go to your room and get your clothes."She glanced down at her hands in her lap. "I'm not ashamed of anything we did. I don't see why we have to hide--""It's not about?last night. It's about you ditching your guard detail." He gunned the engine and they raced around a truck that moved like a snail in the right-hand lane. "It's my job to ensure your safety, and I promised your brother you wouldn't be in danger." The car shot through a hole in the traffic, and careened across two lanes to make their exit."Sneaking out of your room and driving across town with no escort is too risky, Relena."'How many times is he going to lecture me about that? This is the second time, already?' She glanced up at the right side of his face. "I figured if I waited for you to come to me?""That was not my fault." Heero's jaw clenched, and so did his hands - around the steering wheel.Relena swallowed. That wasn't what she had meant, but since he brought it up? "You never did tell me where you went the other night."He didn't reply.She clasped her hands and returned them to her lap. "So you're still not going to tell me." Relena closed her eyes."Hn."She let out an exasperated breath. "Is this what it's going to be like for the rest of our lives?" The ESUN minister opened her eyes and frowned up at her fianc?. "Me asking you things, trying to reach out, trying to get closer to you, only to have you still shut down, shut me out, and push me away?"Heero continued to stare at the road in front of them, though they did appear to be slowing down from their earlier breakneck pace."Because if you think you can just marry me and then quietly slink back into being my guard with maybe the occasional?hop in the sack, then we should call this off now. Because that's not a marriage."He didn't say a word. The next turn came up, and he spun the steering wheel in her direction. She looked down at her lap and toyed with the belt on her trenchcoat."Don't you have anything?to say?""I have several things to say, just?none of them seem to fit."Relena looked up at him again. "What do you mean?""I mean?I don't know what to say that? I don't know what it is you want me to say.""So, instead, you say nothing."He nodded."I want you to tell me that you love me. That you want to be married to me. That no matter what, we'll find a way to work things out and--""Live happily ever after?"Relena shrugged. "More or less."The one eye of his that she could see narrowed. "You know as well as I do. It's not that simple.""No, it's not. But at least it's something to believe in and strive for." She scooted away from him on the bench seat, and glanced out the window. "Things are never going to be easy, and I don't know what it takes to make this work.""I don't know, either."<hr size=1 width=100% noshade>Heero pulled the car up into the side drive, the one that led to Wing's storage shed; he removed his seat belt and leapt from the car. He took a couple of steps - intending to leave the car idling while he went in search of Nicholas, the driver - then thought the better of it; the Preventer pivoted and leaned back in the car, grabbed the keys, then shut the driver's side door.
The last thing he needed was Relena escaping in nothing but a t-shirt and coat, and driving who-knows-where. Heero jogged around the side of the house to the freestanding garage building. The Preventer was pleased to find that Nicholas was already warming the car.The driver glanced up as Heero approached and nodded something like a greeting. But the Preventer didn't miss the frown that appeared on the other man's face. Nicholas opened the car door and climbed out of the sedan. He stood a full head taller than Heero, was ten years older, but seemed a little on the timid side ? in the Preventer's opinion, anyway."Commander, is something wrong?""No."His light-colored eyebrows formed question marks in his forehead. "Is the minister ready? You could have just called my--""She's in her car."The man blinked. "Excuse me?""The short story, and the only one you need to know, is that I need you to wait here. She's going to get in, and you're going to wait for approximately?" Heero flicked his wrist and checked his watch. "?seven minutes. At ten till seven, drive up to the front, but do not let anyone in the back seat except me. The other guard will sit up front on this drive.""O?kay?""The minister requests that you keep the glass divide in place as well."Nicholas nodded. "Whatever she wants. Her request is my command," he said in a tone that sounded too flippant, and too?familiar.Heero snarled and grabbed the man by his necktie. "You are her sole protector for these seven minutes. You will take my directions and my directions only. Do not unlock the doors, do not let down the glass, do not drive anywhere except by my orders."The man's dark-colored eyes went round. "Yes sir.""And if anything happens to her while I'm gone, I'll kill you." He released the driver and turned away without waiting for a reply.

Heero sprinted back to Wing, and his waiting, somewhat angry fianc?e. He opened the door, and he could have sworn cold air swirled out of the car with her. "Nicholas is waiting for you."Relena didn't look at him. Instead, she stared down at the ground. Or her feet."I'm going to take Wing back and then get your things. Is there anything specific you need?""A suit, my makeup bag, shoes, pantyhose." She spoke to her shoes. "Underwear, bra, a brush. My briefcase."Heero shook his head while making a mental list. "You should have an expert plan your missions in the future."She turned her head and stared at something to her left. "I don't think I'll be going on any more missions."Her fianc? could practically feel his 'victory' slipping through his fingertips. "Relena?" He reached out to turn her head to look at him. Her face was pinched and her eyes?were glassy, her lips pressed together and formed lines under her mouth.She pushed his hand away. "I believe we're on a schedule."<hr size=1 width=100% noshade>Heero emerged from Relena's room and found Wufei sitting on the floor slumped against the wall. His Preventer uniform looked a little on the rumpled side ? indicating he had slept like that all night.
'At least someone takes his duty seriously.' The Preventer took a deep breath. 'Unlike Barton and Maxwell.' Heero gripped the duffle bag in his left hand and stepped across the hall.Wufei's head shot up; he had his gun drawn before his comrade could take a second step. Dark eyes narrowed for a brief moment. "It's you," he said and lowered his glock."Yeah." Heero nodded. "You ready?""Hn." Wufei grunted and put his gun back in its holster. "I thought I was replacing you." The Preventer fell into step with Relena's fianc? as he made his way down the stairs to the front door."You were." Heero tightened his grasp on the bag. "But Maxwell and Barton have disappeared."Wufei scowled. "Idiots. Both of them. Why you let Maxwell do anything--""We can discuss that later." The two bodyguards reached the foyer and crossed the tile floor. Heero reached to open the door."I figured it'd be you that showed up. I take it you enjoyed yourself last night."Relena's fianc? froze."When I arrived, I could tell she wasn't in her room. But since you have some kind of strange sense as to where that woman is, and you weren't conducting an all-out manhunt, I put two and two together."Heero yanked open the door. "I have no idea what you're talking about," he said and stepped out onto the porch. Wufei followed right behind him."Right. I take it I'm sitting up front so she can get dressed?"They reached the front of the ESUN minister's black Lincoln Towncar and stopped. Heero turned to face his comrade. "You're sitting up front to monitor our route.""Poor mission preparation, Yuy." Wufei crossed his arms. "I would have expected better from you."Relena's fianc? scowled. "A politician was involved. You know what they're like - won't follow orders and think rules don't apply to them." He shrugged. "Anticipating their next move is not a clear objective."Wufei's mouth quirked up into a grin. "You have a point," he said. The Preventer opened the passenger-side front door and moved to his assigned position.

Heero climbed into the backseat and handed Relena the duffel bag and her suit. She took both items without looking at him. Her bodyguard tugged the car door closed and sat across from her. "You have thirty minutes. I told Nicholas to take the long route even though we're behind schedule."She nodded and pulled her intimate garments out of the duffel. At the time, Heero hadn't thought much about what he was grabbing from her dresser. Now, to see her holding them up to the light, he couldn't tell if he maybe should feel embarrassed? He arched an eyebrow as he pictured his fianc?e wearing only those small, silky things. 'Or aroused.'Relena pulled the trenchcoat from her shoulders and slid her panties up her legs. Heero tried to glance away and leave his fianc?e her modesty, but when she tugged her nightgown over her head - his eyes ceased to obey his directions.Her skin was pale and his fingers knew exactly how smooth her flesh was to their touch. He already wanted to sample it again?"A gentleman wouldn't stare like that while I'm trying to get dressed.""We've already established I'm not a gentleman." He turned his head to watch her directly. Apparently, the rest of his body was going to ignore his directives as well."Enjoying yourself?"She hadn't pulled on the bra, yet. Instead, she worked her pantyhose up her legs. He thought about offering to help, but figured his rebellious body would end up impeding her progress - and then she would not be dressed by the time the car arrived at her office. He glanced up and met her gaze. "Relena?""Wha--""Don't." His mouth had gone dry. 'What can I say to her? What am I supposed to say?'' "Don't call it off."She pulled the straps of her bra over her shoulders and clasped it in the center. "Call what off?"He swallowed. "Our wedding. Tomorrow. I don't know what it will take to make things work. But, I won't give up, Relena. I'll keep trying even when you don't think we can try anymore. I don't want--"His bra-and-pantyhose-clad fianc?e crossed to his side of the car. She placed her hands on either side of his face. He leaned forward and let his forehead rest against hers. "I don't want to?give up."She kissed him then. His arms immediately knew their job and wrapped around her half-naked body, drawing her to him and depositing her in his lap."I'm not ready to give up, either, Heero."<hr size=1 width=100% noshade>Zechs emerged from the kitchen and headed down the hallway to his office ? thermal-paper coffee cup in hand. Even though it was finally Friday?it was still a two-cup kind of day. He stopped short at the door to the control room. The search and give-Zechs-a-seizure squad was still there. The female Preventer agent?'What was her name again?' ?was packing things into a medium-sized crate while yapping to another agent seated nearby.
Zechs scowled. "Aren't you people gone, yet?"She started. A stack of compact discs erupted from her hands and scattered to the floor. "S-sorry, Lieutenant."He took a long draught of coffee and felt his mood lift a bit as the pain-in-his-ass had to get down on the floor and pick up what she had dropped. It was a minor victory, but he really liked seeing her be inconvenienced for a change."I promise?W-we're about to get out of your hair," she said and continued stacking CDs onto the tabletop from under the table. The other agent, a Caucasian male wearing glasses, didn't bother to help his comrade. He continued to sit at the end of the long, veneer table with his head propped up on one arm and looking supremely bored.The Lieutenant sneered. "Did you find everything you need?""I suppose." The female agent finished picking up the discs and climbed back to her feet. "We pretty much just gathered ev-everything on the list that we could." She moved back to the table and fished a piece of paper out of her crate. Rogers held it out for him to see.The list."There are a couple of missing items," she said and pointed to three typed lines that weren't marked through in red pen nor sporting a checkmark in the left margin."?that Agent Barton is still hunting down. M-mostly, any of the recordings have just been copied and stored." She put the list back in the crate. "The Colonel plans to go through them herself."'Goody.' He sipped his coffee. "I see. And you're certain you've only pulled the recordings on that court order?""Yes! Quite certain." She sounded far too chipper for this time of day. Zechs felt the urge to strangle her mount, and figured it was time to leave. He needed to finish his second cup of coffee before dealing with people today."Hn." Zechs spun on his heel and took a step towards the door. And came nose to nose with Trowa Barton. The Lieutenant snarled but stepped back."Good. I thought I'd find you here." Barton stared directly at Relena's brother through narrowed eyes."Me?" Zechs raised an eyebrow. "Or them?""Both," he said with a nod. "We just received an addendum to the list." Trowa passed a legal-sized sheet of paper to the Lieutenant."More recordings?" Hot liquid splashed over his left hand and rushed to the floor. He glanced down at the twisted mess of coffee-colored pulp crushed into his fist and snarled. "What the fuck is going on?" The Lieutenant chucked what was left of his second cup of coffee towards the trash can. And missed."You know that it's not you we're investigating," Barton said in a voice that sounded far too patient. "We're just trying to track--"Zechs's right hand grabbed the Preventer agent's throat and squeezed - while his left one continued to drip coffee on the floor. "You are investigating me. You're trying to prove or disprove these ridiculous charges that someone in my sister's administration took a bribe. That's investigating me." He glared at Trowa. "And her."Barton flinched and clenched his jaw. The Lieutenant released the Preventer agent's neck and shoved him away. Trowa stumbled back, but caught himself on the door."It's merely a matter of procedure." His right hand drifted up to rub at his neck. "The charges were brought up in a serious manner, and we have no course but to investigate. You and I both know Preventer won't find anything."Zechs shook lingering drops of coffee off his hand. "Then why do you have an addendum to the original order?""Because we're doing our job."Zechs ground his teeth together and growled. "You have fifteen minutes to finish your job, and get the hell out of this office and my house. Or I'll be making some calls of my own." He looked around for something to use to finish wiping the coffee off his wrist and lower arm."I understand your frustration.""You don't understand shit, Barton." Zechs grabbed the 'addendum' and used it to soak up the remaining drips of coffee clinging to the top of his hand. "Nor would I expect you to." He wadded up the stained piece of paper and threw it towards the trash can. It landed next to the deceased cup of coffee. The Lieutenant snarled and pushed passed the other Preventer agent to leave the control room ? and go after another serving of his favorite caffeinated substance."You think I like the idea of investigating her?" Barton's voice stopped him just before he reached the hall.Zechs paused and turned back around. "What do you care? I'm sure everyone in this room knows she's just another conquest to you."A loud thump in the far right corner of the room caught Zechs's attention; he glanced at the female agent who had spoken to him earlier.Relena's brother sneered. "You're pathetic." He pivoted and stomped out of the room ? and into the hallway."I don't care what you think of me. I don't care if you and Heero both want to believe that the only thing that keeps me going is the challenge of hopping into the sack with your sister." Trowa's voice rose from somewhere behind the Lieutenant.Zechs grit his teeth and tried to keep from punching the wall. 'All I want is another cup of coffee, dammit. And you to stay away from my sister.'"But I will, this once, tell you that I have been in love with her for the last five years."The Lieutenant slowly turned around."I've tried to forget, I've tried removing myself, I've tried everything I can think of--""And she's still in love with Heero.""That's my hell," Trowa said with a nod.In the light, Zechs could make out the dark circles that seemed to haunt the Preventer's eyes and he knew?."I've been to hell a few times myself." He stepped forward and put a hand on Barton's shoulder. "It's not a nice visit?." The Lieutenant lowered his voice. "?much less a suitable place to live."Trowa shrugged out of his grip and looked away. "You get used to it after a while.""No," Zechs said and moved passed the other Preventer. He started down the hallway that led to the Lieutenant's office."No, you don't."<hr size=1 width=100% noshade>The day had dragged by. Lack of sleep had not cowed to heavy draughts of caffeine, and minutes had decided to rebel and not carry hours throughout the day like they were supposed to. Instead, they left hours to crawl on their own and minutes dragged slowly behind.
Heero had disappeared not long after she arrived at her office, and whenever a quiet moment had crept passed her secretary - in between the many appointments that had been scheduled for a Friday - she couldn't help but remember the night before.His blue eyes had never seemed so dark; he almost looked angry as he peered up at her from his position. Her left leg was slung over his shoulder and he had kissed a trail down her stomach. She closed her eyes and felt his hands move over her skin; everywhere he touched instantly warmed her body and she could feel the beads of perspiration form along the paths his fingers took?."Heero." She pulled her blouse off her shoulders and went in search of a different nightgown than the one she had worn last night. Relena crossed the room and dragged one out of the top dresser drawer. 'Tomorrow's the day?.'"The day we get married," she said out loud. "I'm not sure what to think about it. And why am I talking to myself?" Relena flopped down on the end of her bed.'How am I ever supposed to sleep? I'm marrying him?Heero, tomorrow.'The ESUN minister fell back onto her mattress and stared up at the ceiling. "It's so fast?It's still so fast. I wish I could slow it down, but then again?."She crossed her arms over chest. "I don't want to think. I don?t want this to be logical. It can never be logical. Everything's too hard to be rational or responsible.""Relena, are you sure?" She could feel the muscles in his shoulders bunch beneath her fingertips. She moved her arms to prop herself up on her elbows."I trust you?"The shrill peal of the phone interrupted her reminisces. She frowned and rolled over on her side. 'Who would be calling at this hour? It's nearly one?'RING! RING!She crawled over to the side of her bed and glanced down at the loud object a second. Relena picked up the receiver and held it to her ear."Hello?"Silence didn't return her greeting."Hello?"She heard a faint click and then a burst of static on the line."Is someone there? I can't hear--"A sound like shuffling came over the line, and then footsteps."How did your talk go?" Her brother's voice sounded hollow, and there was still a faint hum in the background."Brother? Is that--""Genius over here got the brilliant idea to propose.""Maxwell." Heero's voice came out sounding like a short bark.Relena frowned. "Is this some kind of--""THIS IS YOUR IDEA OF TALKING TO HER?""Is this a joke? Who's there?" She spoke over a jumble of sounds: banging, scraping, more shuffling. 'Is this a recording?' Relena placed the handset down on her nightstand and ducked her head out into the hallway. Wufei was on guard duty, leaning back against the wall, and possibly sleeping where he stood.She closed the door and crossed the room to pick up the receiver again. "Listen, I don't know who you are or what you're up to--""What are you trying to pull, Yuy? Are you trying to make me kill you?" Her brother's voice rasped and sounded like it was hissed between clenched teeth."I'm trying to protect her." Heero's voice sounded calm, detached. "You told me she was in love with me--"Relena gasped."If I can convince her to marry me?"Her hand tightened on the handset and she sunk down onto her bed. Her heart sped up, and she found herself silently pleading: 'No. No, don't finish the sentence. Don't say what I think you're going to say?.'"Then I will be able protect her more efficiently.""I don't want to?ever lose you."Warm drops hit her kneecaps. Relena felt sweat form on the skin of her palms and strengthened her grip on the receiver to keep it from falling. She couldn't feel her fingers; her head spun. Her butt hit the floor."Marriage isn't a joke, Heero." Her brother spoke again. "If you think for one moment--""I promised to protect her. No matter what the cost." Heero's voice was cold and even ? like everything he was saying had been carefully calculated. "As her husband, she shouldn't be upset over how I feel about her; she wouldn't be able to have me reassigned. I know we don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, Zechs, but we both agree that I'm the best for the job.""Sheesh, and he's modest, too.""Quiet, Maxwell.""Once Relena and I are married, all our security problems are solved.""I'm still just a mission to you, that's what this is about, isn't it?""Please don't fight me when I ask them to reassign you, Heero.""I will fight you every step of the way, Relena. I will never break my promise to you?. Not even when you ask me to."Relena stretched her arm out to hang up the phone. Her hand shook, and the receiver clattered on the top of her nightstand. The ESUN minister's whole body had first turned to ice, then gone completely numb.She couldn't believe it, and yet a part of her felt like she had known all along?.Her brother's voice sounded muffled where the speaker pointed directly into the wooden piece of furniture. But she could still make out the words he said:"But?what about Relena?"

NOOOO!!! *whine* Whyyy??? WHY!?? *sob*

Rose, you are too cruel. How could you leave it there??

I loved Heero and Relena's interaction in this chapter and how he seemed to open up to her. About damn time if you ask me.

I will be waiting for the next chappie... I need to know (although I know my expectations will be met since you love happy endings) how they will work things out and how exactly Relena will face Heero once they see each other again.

Make him suffer, woman! (Relena, not you, Rose. ^^" --Nah, YOU make him suffer, too.)

Aw man....

Seems like outside battle the guy has the worst luck in the world. A friend in love with his woman, and another plotting his typical junk.

I swear I pity Mr. Blackrose sometimes

.

But truly it was just plain wrong ending it there on that note. Evil...

I'll do ya one better. (Knowledge of G Gundam is needed to understand what I am about to do.) "This hand of mine glows with an awesome power. It's burning grip tells me to defeat you! (Barton!)

The scenes with Heero and Relena were excellent.He swallowed.

"Our wedding. Tomorrow. I don't know what it will take to make things work. But, I won't give up, Relena. I'll keep trying even when you don't think we can try anymore. I don't want--"

His bra-and-pantyhose-clad fianc?e crossed to his side of the car. She placed her hands on either side of his face. He leaned forward and let his forehead rest against hers. "I don't want to?give up."

She kissed him then. His arms immediately knew their job and wrapped around her half-naked body, drawing her to him and depositing her in his lap.

"I'm not ready to give up, either, Heero."

Wonderful.

The scene with WuFei and Heero was funny. As was the "search and give-Zechs-a-seizure squad" line.

What Relena heard may have indeed been Heero's original motivation, but things have changed much since then.

GAH! *whimpers a little* ok, well it was a good chapter and at least you gave us a schedule to go by. Thanx for that.

Trowa is a completely wicked creature *eventhough he's my favorite* in this fic.

can't wait for the next chapter, and to see relena's reaction *poor heero.*

yes!!!!!!

i'm soooo glad relena finally finds out about Heero's aparent reason for marriage.

don't get me wrong, i want Heero and Relena to end up together but it has to be mutual. so far, Heero hasn't confess (or admited) his love for Relena, just his disturbing (but totally sweet) motivation for protecting her AT ALL COST.

i want him to say it. as in VOCALLY. but most of all i want him to suffer before that.

i also feel sorry for Trowa. i know that unrequited love should not be an excuse for illicit sex with other women, but i can't help but love him.

i want Heero to know what it feels like if he looses Relena....maybe to Trowa (who now solemnly converted to Monogamy).

i want him to suffer and feel like his heat is being shred to pieces, then poured with hydrochloric acid, then poked with an ice-pick, then fed to the piranhas(sp?)... *evil cackle*... but seriously, i want him to feel exactly like that.

as an ego boost for Relena.

an all women-kind.
