A Promise She walked with her arm resting on his in an old, genteel and courtly fashion and Relena trembled. They walked close, his head bent low and Relena surmised they were engaged in quiet conversation. Her mother’s head inclined and she could see the woman was laughing. It had been a long time since she had seen her mother laugh. “What do you think happened?” Heero took note of the shadows moving around the pair and decided he would need to speak with them or Pagan. If his assumptions were correct on the origin of the tension, then he needed to know what had been said to breach the gap. “Heero?” “Sorry. What did you say?” “I think they have made peace.” She whispered, looking back to the scene with hope swelling. “I think it will be alright between them.” He considered for a moment before offering a toneless ’hnn’, which might have been agreement or not, even he was uncertain. He wanted to know what had happened as she had been considered a threat by him, given Milliardo’s reaction to the news of her arrival and his careful manoeuvring around her. How could one conversation have changed that? No, he would continue to watch and hope Relena assumed his caution a natural wariness of a mother-in-law. Their meetings had been stilted and cautious, careful posturing as they sized each other up. He knew what he was, what his past was and how unfitted for Relena he was, but he loved her. It was odd how it happened, how she drew him and while it annoyed the heck out of him he could not deny the attraction. Follow your emotions, he had told Trowa. He, the closest thing to a living, breathing robot J had created, had advised someone to follow their emotions. Tilting her head up gently with one finger under her chin, he touched his lips lightly to hers and felt her smile. “Took you long enough.” “I thought you might forget about your brother and mother, now you can see neither is maimed.” “Mmm. Shut up and we can contemplate nice things.” “Such as?” he whispered. “A future together.” Heero held her a little tighter, afraid of his thoughts of late. He had seriously considered how they would live together, how they would coexist given her duties. There was no place for soldiers in her world of glittering halls and power. He was afraid of losing her, bound as he was to Sanc, but he could not imagine himself away from his present role. His job gave him a strong sense of purpose and he knew Hunter made a difference. He liked to feel useful. “I love you.” Her arms tightened around him for a moment and her head pressed to his shoulder, her breath warm against his throat, her lips fluttered briefly over his skin. “I love you, Heero. I’ll not allow anything to change that.” He read that as a promise. End
