His Ideal “Heero, what is it you want out of life?” A few years ago he would not know how to answer. A few years ago he had known only death, destruction and a view of the world he had been taught by old men with their own agenda. A few years ago he had thought his life and others were cheap. “I want a place I can call home where I know I belong and there is someone who…” he trailed off into embarrassed silence. He was certain he must be blushing and expected her to comment. He would have liked to drive her to New Port City himself but for the sake of propriety they were chaperoned and escorted by her security contingent. Capable as he was of offering her protection he was not of a mind to place her in danger. “Yes?” She was looking at him with big blue eyes that seemed to pierce the very heart of him. Why was it she had affected him from the moment they had met on that beach and he had tried to self-detonate in the interests of his mission? What was it about the Peacecraft siblings that made the world constantly shift and change? These two, brother and sister, had been at the heart of the changes shaking the ESUN for years. Milliardo had tried to stay out of the world scene, hiding himself away first on Mars and then in Italy with his wife and starting a family. It had not worked. When change came it was quick and devastating, Heero had discovered. You could either fall beneath it and be trampled or claw your way to clear ground and face it head on. Neither Peacecraft seemed able to avoid the ongoing changes shaping the world. Both appeared adept at scaling the rolling ball to balance at its peak. “Heero?” Her voice was soft, her eyes entreating. Their chaperone was seated across from them as the limousine turned into the exclusive shopping district. The woman gave every appearance of being focused on the book resting in her lap but he was not deceived. Their every word and action was being scrutinized. “Someone who wants me as much as I want them.” “What would you want a wife to be?” Something was wrong and he did not understand what it was but he knew it was important. Relena had wanted him last night in every sense of the word and he had pulled back. He had placed the divide between them, aware of propriety and the ruin of her reputation. Did she think he did not love her? She was a young, influential and strong woman who could not be happy if she was not working to improve life for others. What was he to tell her? “I would want her to love me, to understand me, and to know I would want her to be herself above all.” End
