Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Missing Her ❯ Unexpected ( Chapter 5 )

Disclaimer: I do not own and did not create Gundam Wing, nor do I own any of the characters. I'm a teenager who's strangely obsessed with an anime which you could say I've only seen from a distance. If I owned it, then I wouldn't be sitting here, writing something for an audience. I would be drawing something for an audience - but I can't draw worth crap. So fudge. LOL

 

 

Wufei woke with a start from his dream. It was the same dream he had been having for the past three days, ever since... ever since Sally had come. Now his mind had flooded with a thousand memories from times he had since been repressing. Quite well, as a matter-of-fact.

 

Now, as it turned out, his best friend was getting married. He was going to be happy, with Relena. Duo announced his plans for asking Hilde to marry him yesterday. Quatre and Catherine were getting along well. Even Trowa was happy, though he was currently trying to sort out whatever was happening between himself and Middi. The point was that everyone was happy. Wufei was caught in the middle, struggling to understand what exactly was happening to his once neatly woven world.

 

Confusion had set in, and if Wufei didn't find his way out of it soon, there wouldn't be a life for him to live.

 

“Who is it?” Wufei asked the person who knocked at his door. He looked over at it, curious as to who was on the other side.

 

“It's me!” a woman's voice said. Wufei was about to ask who, when he recognized it. His eyes were wide in shock as he went over and opened the door slightly, to see Relena staring at him.

 

“Relena?” Wufei asked. “What are you doing here?”

 

“I need advice.” Relena answered. Wufei stared down at her as if she had just grown another limb.

 

“You, of all people, are asking me for advice?” Wufei asked in disbelief. Relena nodded as if it were the obvious and understandable thing in the world. “Why?”

 

“Well... you were married once, weren't you?” Relena asked. Wufei's jaw dropped. Literally.

 

“How the hell did you know that?” he asked.

 

“I'm Relena Peacecraft. I'll admit I'm not as resourceful as you guys, but you didn't think I wouldn't have tried looking for information, do you?” Relena replied.

 

“What?”

 

“I had to, for security purposes.”

 

“Then what are you doing here?” Wufei asked.

 

“What was it like, getting married?” Relena asked. Wufei leaned against the door frame and sighed. The others were all out, as usual. It was the middle of the day. How did Relena even get inside the house? He opened the door to his bedroom a little wider, letting her see the inside and motioning for her to come in. She walked in and sat on the edge of his bed.

 

“You're getting cold feet, aren't you?”

 

“Just a little bit.” Relena replied. “It's like... I love him, I do. But it's like I'm giving up my life.”

 

“Do you want to marry him?” Wufei asked, leaning back against the closed door.

 

“Of course I do.”

 

“Then why are here?”

 

“I'm scared.”

 

“Of what?”

 

Relena looked down at her feet and sighed.

 

“I- I don't know.”

Chapter 5

Unexpected

 

“That's the second time today she's accidentally broken the glass on that door.” Heero mumbled, only loud enough for the others hear. The `she' he was referring to, was his fiancée. The beautiful Relena Peacecraft had been pacing back and forth all morning, slamming doors, tripping, knocking over vases, and various other accidents. That was the second door they had would have to replace. Heero looked to the others.

 

“Do you think she's getting cold feet?” Quatre asked. Trowa nodded to show he agreed with Quatre's answer.

 

“Why would she get cold feet about our wedding?” Heero asked. The five men shared a rather large office of their own in the far corner of the twelfth floor of the Preventers HQ on the L2 colony. They had a rather brilliant view of everything that happened, and right now it happened that Relena wasn't acting like herself.

 

“Well, think about it.” Quatre told him.

 

“She's getting married, to an ex-gundam pilot, who was trained to be the perfect soldier.” Trowa said. Heero nodded in understanding.

 

“Hell, that's enough to give anyone cold feet. Even Hilde, tough as she is.” Duo said, pushing at his desk with his feet and leaning back in his chair.

 

“Marriage to you in enough to give anyone cold feet, Maxwell.” Wufei commented. Duo moved his feet and his chair fell into place in front of his desk with a slam. He grinned at Wufei.

 

“Why Wuffie, however would you know?” Duo asked. Wufei glared at Duo for the use of that detestable nickname. “Wanna find out?”

 

“DIE MAXWELL!” Wufei shouted, jumping up from behind his desk and walking over to where Duo was, brandishing his broad sword. Duo, being himself, grinned up at Wufei before jumping out of the way just as the sword slammed down on the wooden desk. Wufei growled as Duo ran away, sticking out his tongue at Wufei childishly. Duo came running back a few minutes later, laughing maniacally.

 

“Where's Wufei?” Quatre asked. Duo grinned evilly.

 

“The roof.”

 

“How'd he get up on the roof?” Quatre asked.

 

“I have my ways...”

 

After a few moments silence, Quatre finally spoke up.

 

“Has anyone noticed Wufei lately?”

 

“Dude, when I asked him to marry me, I didn't mean it literally.” Duo said, frowning. “But if you're into that, I know a few guys...”

 

Quatre glared at his friend.

 

“I know what you mean, I've seen it too.” Trowa agreed. Heero and Duo stared at the two.

 

“What are you guys talking about?” Duo asked, looking between Trowa, Quatre, and Heero.

 

“He's been... off.”

“Off?” Heero asked.

 

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

 

It took Wufei close to two hours to find a way down from the roof. It the process, he had snagged his shirt, making a very large hole. Well, he had to admit, he owed that baka Maxwell one thing. He would be getting home from work early today.

 

When he got in his car and trudged home, he ran into his room and fell onto his bed, almost instantly falling asleep, and barely hearing the slight clicking noise that came from the other room. He would have gotten up to see what it was, but the days of not sleeping well were caught up to him at that exact moment. There would be no waking up.

 

“Are you happy?”

 

“Am I happy?”

 

Meiran pulled herself up from lying down on the ground, in the garden, and looked over at Wufei.

 

“Yes, are you happy?” she asked again. Wufei stared at the bright clouds hovering above his head for a moment, in thought.

 

“I don't know.” he answered.

 

“You don't know?” Meiran laughed. “How can you not know if you're happy?”

 

Wufei frowned.

 

“It's been... so long.” he told her. He sat up and looked over at her. “You look just like you did then.”

 

“I do?” she asked. Wufei nodded.

 

“Just like when we got married.”

 

“A good memory.” Meiran murmured. Wufei smiled.

 

“One of my favorites.”

 

Meiran smiled at Wufei.

 

“You're in love with her, aren't you?” Meiran more like stated than asked. Wufei stared at her blankly for a moment.

 

“Who?” he asked.

 

“The woman with the brown hair, Sally Po.” Meiran answered. Wufei's smile slowly began to fade into a frown. “You love her, don't you?”

 

Wufei woke with a start from his dream. It was the same dream he had been having for the past three days, ever since... ever since Sally had come. Now his mind had flooded with a thousand memories from times he had since been repressing. Quite well, as a matter-of-fact.

“Relena?” Wufei asked. “What are you doing here?”

 

“I need advice.” Relena answered. Wufei stared down at her as if she had just grown another limb.

 

“You, of all people, are asking me for advice?” Wufei asked in disbelief. Relena nodded as if it were the obvious and understandable thing in the world. “Why?”

 

“Well... you were married once, weren't you?” Relena asked. Wufei's jaw dropped. Literally.

Relena looked down at her feet and sighed.

 

“I- I don't know.”

 

“You don't know if you're happy?”

 

Wufei shook his head slightly to get the memory his dream out of head while he was talking to Relena.

 

“Nobody said it would be easy.” Wufei said. He walked over and sat down next to Relena on the bed. She sniffled slightly and swallowed back tears.

 

“I know.” she whispered. “And I want to marry him, but...”

 

“You won't give up your life by marrying Heero.” Wufei told her. She looked at the man next to her, feeling so unbelievably confused at everything.

 

“I know I won't, but I can't help feeling it.” Relena said. “It's like I'm losing myself or like I'm...” she trailed off, unable to express exactly what she felt.

 

“Leaving part of yourself behind?” Wufei asked. Relena nodded.

 

“I'll admit,” Wufei began, sighing. “That it's not easy. Sometimes, you're going to want to kill him. And in the beginning, it might feel like part of you is lost, but you're moving on with your life. You're growing up, and in reality,” Wufei told her, tipping her up to look him in the eyes. “You're not so much losing yourself... as you are finding the other half, the one you've been missing. And while it's not going to be easy, if you truly love him, in the end, it will have been with worth it.”

 

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

 

Trowa, being the second to arrive home, arrived just in time to see a certain blond woman wearing an Nike baseball cap and a Seminoles (Florida State mascot... hehehe) jersey, who was unmistakably Relena, pulling out of the drive way and heading back home. Curious, Trowa walked inside and called out to Wufei.

 

“What?” Wufei asked. He was in the kitchen, getting a cup of coffee and rubbing sleep from his eyes.

 

“Wasn't that Relena just leaving?” Trowa asked. Wufei nodded. “What was she doing here? She knows Heero was at work. Hell, she saw him at work.”

 

“She needed advice.” Wufei answered. Trowa frowned.

 

“And she went to you?”

 

“Yes.” Wufei replied.

 

“About what?” he asked.

 

“Getting married.” Wufei said simply. Trowa's frown grew as his confusion grew.

 

“Why would she go to you about that?”

 

“Because, before the war, I was.”

A/N: end chapter 5! YAYS!!!!!! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Okay, I've had this sitting on my computer for the past four days, waiting for me to write the second half of it. I finally got off my lazy butt and did. Hopefully, this chapter made sense to everybody. ^____^ I had to find some way for Wufei to open up... and Relena was having cold feet..... so this just sorta..... happened.....

And if you haven't figured out the part with the dream (I'll tell you, just so nobody gets confused), it's the first dream with Meiran featured in the fic that hasn't been a flashback - obviously, considering Meiran asks if Wufei's in love with Sally....

Anyway, please remember to review. I like reviews. Reviews are my friend.
