Of Laptops & Love Letters

Chapter 7

By: Penybright

Relena quietly opened her door to find Heero staring at the floor. She took a deep breath, and shoved the CD in his face. He seemed startled by her actions.

"I understand," she whispered. "This was meant for someone... special. Not me."

Heero's head shot up just in time to have the door shut in his face. He wanted to pound on the door and tell her the CD was meant for her. There was no one else. How could she even think such a thing?

Instead, Heero turned and slowly descended the stairs. When he reached the bottom step, he flopped down, cradling the CD in his hands. Things had turned out worse then he had expected. Now, Relena probably hated him. Heero became extremely angry with himself. He lurched to his feet, and in a sudden burst of temper, tossed the disc across the floor. It spun to a stop at the other end of the hallway as Heero stalked out the door, slamming it forcefully shut behind him.

Relena felt her entire section of the mansion shake with the impact. Not knowing that Heero had left, she rushed downstairs, thinking something was wrong. She was meet with an eerily silent hallway. Shrugging, Relena turned to go back up to her room when something caught her eye. A faint glimmer at the end of the hall grabbed her attention. When she saw what it was, she gasped and picked the CD up gingerly.

"But, why?" she asked herself, glancing sadly at the front door.

Heero was a man on a mission. He was upset enough to do something he would have never considered in his right mind. Ask for Duo to stop this torture, and maybe help him. Surely the braided idiot had to know something. He had gotten Hildie to marry him after all.

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, Duo wasn't home. Hildie opened her front door, and almost passed out in shock. She was very surprised to find Heero Yuy on her doorstep.

"I'm sorry, Duo's not home right now. I could tell him you stopped by?"

Heero seemed to hesitate before nodding reluctantly.

"Is something wrong, Heero? You don't seem yourself."

"I" Heero stopped not sure what to say.

"It's about Relena, isn't it? Why don't you come inside? Maybe I can help."

Heero reluctantly accepted her offer, not quite sure why he was acting in such a strange way.

"So, what seems to be the problem?"

*_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_*

Duo watched the scene with Relena and Heero unfold with disappointment. He hadn't expected Relena to react like that. The idea was to get Heero to confess his feelings, not make Relena upset with him. This was going to be harder than he had originally anticipated. Who knew both of them could be so blindly stubborn?

"On to plan B," Duo muttered as he headed back to his car. He'd get them together yet, and if all else failed, Duo had one foolproof plan. He'd let Relena read the documents of Heero's laptop. A feral grin spread across Duo's features as he drove home. He could have a little fun while he was at it, make Heero squirm a little. Oh, that would most definitely satisfy his devious little mind...

Heero sat stiffly on the plush couch. His eyes roamed over the quaint room, done in a scheme of blue. As comforting as the room appeared, it did nothing to calm his nerves. Why was he here? Why had he accepted Hildie's help? What was he thinking!?! Heero began to second guess his faulty judgment. As he was getting up to leave, Hildie entered the room holding a steaming mug of liquid. She silently handed him the drink, sitting down in the chair opposite from the couch. Heero took a tentative sip of the liquid, and was surprised to discover that it was tea, not coffee.

"So... Heero---"

Hildie's question was cut off as the front door swung inward. Hildie jumped up from her seat, rushing over to the door.

"Duo!"

Heero perked up at the mention of that name. He waited silently for his prey to draw closer...

Duo entered the living room, and stopped dead in his tracks.

"Heero?!?"

'Shit!' Duo thought frantically, while trying to back away. Heero leapt up from the couch, and instantly had Duo pinned, one hand wrapped around his throat.

"I'm going to kill you, Maxwell," he seethed. And Duo believed him. Heero's eyes showed no mercy. Suddenly, Heero's hands dropped to his sides, and he stepped away.

"I shouldn't have come. I'll be going."

Wait! Maybe I can help. You do want to apologize, don't you?

Heero looked at him dubiously. Was this another trap?

"You do like her, don't you?"

Duo fell into helpless laughter as his friend answered him with a glare.

*_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_*

Heero crept silently into the dark room. In his arms, he cradled a large bouquet of lilies and roses, the white and red contrasting vibrantly. he had been reluctant to go along with this idea. Duo had insisted that flowers were the perfect way to make amends. He hadn't said anything about delivering them in person though.

Heero padded forward on the plush carpet, heading towards the dresser on his right. So far, he was doing good. All he had to do was leave the flowers and note for Relena to find in the morning. It was plain, simple. There was no way anything could go wrong...

"Heero?" a velvety, sleepy voice called as soft light flooded the room. Heero froze, not sure if he should make a run for it. Slowly, very slowly, he turned around to see Relena sitting up in bed.

He felt faint as he watched the covers slip down to her waist, revealing her scantily clad torso, wrapped in a thin silky material. He swallowed convulsively as one slender, creamy leg slid out from under the sheets. His eyes unwillingly traveled upwards, following her curves. What she was wearing, did not cover enough skin in his estimation. He could see incredibly too much, and he couldn't take it. The bouquet dropped from Heero's nerveless fingers as he took the full vision of her in. Then, promptly, he collapsed to the floor in an unconscious heap.

~ *evil cackle* This was soooo much fun to write! (Sorry, no nosebleed Moonkitty!) What's gonna happen when Heero wakes up????
