Gundam Wing: Hearts Entwined Part One Part
Two>> By Eric Jacobson This FanFic can also be found Here at FanFiction.net and @ Eternal Kiss Author's Note: I don't claim any rights to Gundam Wing, Mobile Suit Gundam, and any related things. If I did, do you think I'd be writing FanFiction? Heck no! I'd be sitting in Bermuda, sipping on Pina Coladas and basking in the sun, all off of the fat paycheck I'd be getting. But I'm not. I'm not making any money off of this story, and neither is anyone else. So lay off and don't sue me. Thanks. This story is just a little nugget of joy I came up with. So let me set the stage. It's After Colony 199, over a year since the events that took place in Endless Waltz. Once again, Heero has faded into obscurity, and Relena has resumed her duties as an official in the Earth Sphere Unified Nation. Silence filled the air as Relena stood on her balcony, looking to the stars. Things had been so peaceful since the Gundams had silenced the guns forever. A gentle breeze blew her hair to one side as she stood, cooling her on this balmy evening. She sighed as she looked to the heavens, wondering what he was doing. Was he thinking of her? Was he off on another mission? What was Heero Yuy doing at this moment? "Oh Heero," she said, a slight hint of depression in her voice. "Why won't you return to me?" On the streets below, all was quiet except for the occasional car passing by. The tennemant she called home was on the edge of the main ESUN compound in Brussels, and had been rebuilt since the Barton Foundation's attack over a year ago. It was hard to believe that this building had nearly been destroyed then, and now it all seemed like a distant memroy. "Heero, I've missed you so much. Why must you vanish like this? Why can't you stay here with me?" She had pondered this very though over and over again since he disappeared. "Was it me? Was it something I did? Or was it the fact that wars have stopped, and there's no longer room for a soldier like you anymore? Oh Heero, please, please come back to me..." Duo Maxwell climed the stairs of the apartment complex in the quiet section of Colony L1. The place seemed quite unassuming, and he though that fitting. He reached the fourth floor and opened the door to the main hallway. "Now, which one did he say that was? 4-D? Man, that guy is terrible at directions. I'm lucky I even found this place!" He walked down the hall untill he came to the slightly rusted door marked 4-D. "Well, here goes." He knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. The door opened, and Duo looked inside to see... Noone. "Hello? Anyone home?" "Come in," was all he got in reply, but the voice was all too familiar to him. It was, in fact, his former comrade, Heero Yuy. "Hey Heero! Where ya at, buddy? I come all this way to see what the hell it is you want and you can't even answer the door in person?" "I'm in the kitchen, Duo. Come in. I'll be right with you." "Well, alright." Duo walked inside and made his way to what he figured was the living room. The apartment that Heero called home was sparsely furnished, just a single couch and a TV stand, complete with TV, were all that clued him in to this being the main room. "Nice place, Heero. Still into the 'Early Spartan' decore, I see." He sat himself down on the couch and flipped on the TV. To his surprise, he found that Heero actually had quite a few channels. 'Well, at least he's got cable. So maybe he is human after all' he thought to himself. A few moments later, Heero Yuy entered the room. "Long time no see, Duo." He still had that stone cold look on his face, the same look he'd had ever since the two met during the first Operation Meteor. "Yeah, that's for sure. You know, the wars are over, you CAN come out and socialize every once in a while. It wouldn't kill ya to come and let the rest of us know what's going on with your life. Hell, WuFei and I had a bet going as to when you'ld break down and go see Relena." "That's why I asked you here, Duo." Heero knelt down on the floor in front of the couch and pulled a letter from his pocket. "I want you to deliver this to Relena." "Huh?" Duo looked at him oddly, and then looked at the envelope he held in his hand. "What's this all about?" "You're right, Duo. I've been keeping to myself for far too long. It's time I started living a normal life. And Relena is a big part of that plan. I want you to take this to her on Earth. She's living in the Brussels ESUN compound." "Well why don't you take it to her yourself?" "I'm asking you to do this favor for me as a friend, Duo." "Great. Another favor. You're not gonna hit me this time, are ya?" "Why, do you think I should?" Duo thought back to the time on L3-X1999 when Heero had asked him to hit him. He complied, and in return, got socked in the gut. Remembering that made Duo think twice about pushing the issue. "No, that's quite alright. I remember that last punch you gave me. So, what's all this about, Heero?" "If I'm going to try and lead a normal life, I want Relena to be a part of it. I've come up with a plan of sorts, and this is the first part of it. I'm going to surprise her." "Well well! This is an interesting move coming from the Perfect Soldier. At least you're trying to give it a shot. It's not like you never made it obvious or anything." "Made what obvious?" "Just admit it, Heero. You're in love with the girl! How many times did you rescue her? And what about that teddy bear you left her after we defeated Zechs and Treize? You can't fool us, Heero. We've all known it for a while now." "Well, Detective Holmes. I guess I can't fool you. Now, please, take this to Earth and give it to Relena. I'll be following you there a few hours later to finish the job." "God, do you have to make everything sound like a life or death mission?" "I'm not playing around here, Duo. If you don't do it, I can always get Quatre or Trowa to take care of it for me..." "Alright, alright, I'll do it. Sheesh." Duo took the letter from Heero and put it into his pocket. "Should I send along any regards to her?" "No. Leave that to me..." Morning came to the Brussels compound, signaling the start of a brand new day. The alarm sounded off in its usual annoying tone, prompting Relena to pick the clock up and toss it down to the floor. She honestly hated that thing. Her duties kept her quite busy throughout the week, and it was common for her to set the alarm on Friday nights. She didn't need to, it was a force of habit. And this particular Saturday, she'd done it again. "I really need to stop doing that," she said to herself. "It's getting to be that a girl can't get her beauty sleep anymore. And to think I actually thought that the absence of war would allow me some more free time." She drug herself out of bed, straightened her nightgown, and made her way to the bathroom to start her day. Some time later, she emerged from the bathroom looking more like her normal self. Even a pretty girl like herself looked rather weathered in the morning, and alot of time was spent solving that particular problem each morning. She walked to the closet and picked out a more casual sun dress to wear for the day. Her plans were to go out into the town and do some shopping, but these were about to change. As she was leaving the building, the guard stopped her. "Miss Dorlian, I have a message for you!" "A message? For me? Whom is it from?" "Um, a Mr. Maxwell came in looking for you earlier." "Maxwell?" "Yes, ma'am. He said he had something for you, and that it was important. He asked you to meet him downtown at Rozetti's. Shall I arrange an escort for you?" Relena's thoughts raced. 'Maxwell? Could it be... Duo?' "No, an escort won't be necessary, thank you." "Alright, Miss Dorlian. Have a nice day." "Thank you." As she left, her thoughts raced. 'Duo. And he said he had something for me. I wonder if it might have anything to do with... Heero...' She walked to the Subway Shuttle station and caught the next shuttle to Downtown Brussels, and to her meeting with an old friend... ***
