Across the Winds 18

Hilde and Heero?s time in the pool was deemed time while spent by both of them. Soon they were back up in their room washing off and changing back into regular clothes. Just as they headed down the stairs Relena?s voice came from the front door. ?Pagan I swear these body guards are going to have to calm down, one of them tackled a man because he winked at me on my way out of the office.? Relena?s exasperated tone soon turned cheerful as she spotted Hilde and Heero walking down the stairs, and smiled even brighter when she saw their hands intertwined.

?Hilde! Heero! It?s so good to see you made it alright!? Hilde left Heero?s side to hug her long time friend. As Heero caught up he gave Relena a slight hug as well. ?I assume your earlier problems were solved, Hilde??

Hilde just smiled widely. ?It?s good to see you again Relena, especially since you still owe me a shopping spree.? Hilde replied soon after.

?Of course, don?t think I?ve forgotten. How have you been Heero??

?I found my place.? Heero?s reply came with a slight smile.

?I?m glad to hear it. Did Duo come?? Hilde nodded.

?I think they?re out back in the gardens.?

?They?? Relena?s questioning look reminded Hilde she didn?t know about Sarah.

?Oh, Duo?s girl? I mean fianc?. Her name is Sarah, when they get back Duo will have to introduce you. Me and Heero just finished making use of your pool.?

?I?m glad someone does, I don?t know why I even have it any more.?

?You ought to take more vacations, Relena. You look like you could use the rest.?

?Yes, I know, luckily today was my last day for the next two weeks. I had all meetings and paperwork put on hold till I get back.?

?Lena!? Duo came running in from the back of the room to give her a large bear hug. ?How ya doin princess??

?I?ll be much better when I?m back on the ground I think.? Relena replied with a playful smile.

?Of course. Relena I would like you to meet Sarah, my fianc?e.?


The formalities were quickly disposed of as they sat down to catch up. ?So tell me what I?ve missed.? Relena asked.

?Well, the shop?s been a great success, Sarah proposed to me last week, we?re gonna get married on new years, Heero still lacks social skills but has grown a sense of humor, oh, and Hilde and Heero finally hooked up.?

?Duo!? Hilde frowned at him.

?What??

?I wanted to tell her that last part!? Hilde said in an agitated voice. Relena laughed at the two best friends.

?I see some things haven?t changed.? Heero laughed lightly at Relena?s comment.

?So what about you? Have you met anyone yet?? Came Hilde?s inquisitive nature.

?No, but, Quatre did offer to take me to dinner while he was hear.?

?So Quatre is coming to?? Duo spoke up from the far couch where he sat with Sarah.

?Yes, Trowa said he would come just for the party and Catherine was coming with him. Sally is even bringing Wufei for the party.?

?Wow, even Wufei huh?? Came Duo?s surprised remark. I always said if you stuck a lump of coal?? Duo was cut off by a smack on the back of the head from Sarah. ?What?d I do??

?You shouldn?t talk about your friends that way.? Sarah said seriously.

?But if you knew him you would know what I mean. Tell her Heero, you know what I?m talkin about.? Duo was met by silence from his stone faced friend. ?Ugh, I?m talking to the wrong person here.?


After several hours of talking and several of Duo?s bad jokes, night had fallen and it was soon growing late. ?Well, I don?t know about you guys, but I think I?m heading for the sack.? Duo and Sarah stood up and walked upstairs after receiving several goodnights.

?I think I?m going too.? Hilde stood up and started to walk away, letting her fingertips trail across Heero?s cheek and chin. ?Coming??

?I?ll be up shortly.? Hilde walked to their room.

?So how have things been Heero?? Relena?s question turned him back to their conversation.

?I?ve been good, I never thought that when she delivered Libra?s plans two years ago that we?d meet again, let alone end up together.?

?How long have you two been seeing each other??

?Around nine months. I feel different around her.?

?What do you mean??

?I want to spend the rest of my life with her, I never thought I would survive the wars, and since I did, I think maybe I should make good use of what life I?ve been given.?

Relena smiled back at him. ?That?s good. Are you thinking of proposing to her??

?I thought about it, we talked briefly about it. She sounded like she wasn?t quite ready for that yet.?

?It?s my experience that sometimes we?ll never be ready for some things, and others we just take as they come. I?m not telling you to marry her Heero, but don?t think she won?t want to, at least someday.? Heero smiled at her, she always had good advice.

?Goodnight, Relena, and? Thanks.? Heero left for his room.
