Fragile Faith Fragile Faith: Chapter 23 - Selfish Intentions Duo collapsed on the ground as the pink limo drove off with the Japanese boy he had fallen in love with. His sorrow welled up inside and he covered his mouth to try and prevent the heart wrenching sobs that spilled forth. Standing nearby Lady Une also tried to keep quiet; but seeing the broken boy before her, she couldn’t. As drops of rain started to pour from the sky Duo glanced up, only to see the distant limo turn the corner. Lightning flashed. ‘I wish that Heero would tell me that he loves me…’ Thunder rumbled. “HEERO!!!!!!” ~~~Inside Relena’s limo~~~ Relena looked over at Heero as he held his plushie close to him, his head against the window, tears silently streaming down from his closed eyes like the rain outside. “Heero… I know it’s hard for you to leave here but I promise you’ll love it in England,” she said, hoping to make the boy feel better. However, when the Japanese boy didn’t acknowledge what she said she frowned. It was the first time anyone had ignored her before. With a huff she looked out her own window as she thought back on the morning’s events. When she'd announced her arrival she was disappointed that the perfect looking boy hadn’t come out to greet her. She was sure that Lady Une had told him about the upcoming marriage and since it was her, the Vice Foreign Minister’s daughter, that Heero was marrying, *anyone* would have been excited. Relena was relieved when she found out that he was just packing up. It made sense since they were moving quite a distance away, but she *was* wealthy enough to provide whatever he left behind. She barely took notice when the phone rang and Lady Une answered it. However, she did hear someone called Duo coming over. Well whoever the person was, he wouldn’t make it. They would be long gone. When Heero finally appeared before her he had stepped back, which made Relena smile. ‘He must be shy,’ she had thought before reaching out and pulling him with her. The young girl noticed that every now and then Heero would try to hide tears, but she wouldn’t comment since it might be uncomfortable for him to admit to crying. He was a boy after all. She convinced herself that having been at the orphanage for so long would make him quite attached to it, so she understood it must be hard for him to leave the only home he knew. They made it to the door when Heero pulled away from her and went over to kneel in front of the crying woman. Relena felt confused and angry when he gently wiped her tears away. Why did he care for that woman so much when she had kept him at the orphanage almost all his life? The young girl bet that numerous people had tried to adopt him. Who wouldn’t after all? He was so handsome and his smile, no matter how small it was when she first saw it, was beautiful. ‘I’ll take you away from here… away from all the pain…’ she had silently promised the silent boy next to her. Just when they made it halfway to her limo, Lady Une stopped them… or rather ran up and hugged *her* fiancé and asked “Why?” She almost snorted. Wasn’t it obvious? He wants happiness and surely he can’t find it within the orphanage. But with her, he can. When Heero tried to step away and succeeded soon after, Relena had smiled triumphantly. When they finally made it to Relena’s limo and she motioned for him to get in, her heart nearly burst as he immediately followed. But then a longhaired boy appeared out of nowhere and hugged the Japanese boy close to him. Her mind began to cloud over with anger as she saw the braided boy hold Heero so tightly and was about to snap at him until she saw that her fiancé was holding onto Duo just as close and just as tight. Jealously surged through her, and coupled with her irritation at all the interruptions that prevented them from getting to the airport sooner, she decided to take matters into her own hands. And now… finally they are going to be together. It was a long and arduous process but she certainly wasn’t complaining. Looking over at the Japanese boy again she was surprised to find him staring at her with desolate eyes. “Why me?” came the quiet question. tbc… |
