If Only I Knew

Ch.1

“Heero…?”

“…” Was Heero reply.

In a calm voice, which took her awhile to find, she asked, “Can I help you?”

Still, “…”

The secretary, who was still in the room at the time, decided to leave, but not before she handed Relena a couple more big, heavy folders.

‘She’s going to be up late again. (shaking her head vaguely)If only her brother would be thoughtful enough to at least show up and help her she wouldn’t be so agony.’ Relena wasn’t paying attention to all this, so she didn’t see the concern looked on her secretary’s face.

As soon as the secretary left,  Heero went to one of the chairs in front of Relena’s desk and sat down.

Heero caught himself starring at her also. Her shiny brown hair and her beautiful blue starry eyes. How he have long for days to look into it, to be lost in it once again. Then something inside of him snapped and he looked away.

Relena knew something was up, but she still remain silence, waiting for him to tell her.
