If Only You Knew

Ch.2

“Relena…I…”

“Yes?” She asked calmly, but really her heart was about to jumped out of her chest.

After a while of silence, he said, “I…want to tell you that I’ll be leaving again.”

Relena could only remain silence and looked down at her desk. She didn’t want him to see the tears building in her eyes.

“I want to start over. Have a normal life. No more fighting,” he continues.

“I see,” she manage to say.

Heero got up to leave, although he really wasn’t finished with what he was saying, but he just didn’t know how to ask her. She is the Vice Foreign Minister, the one who maintain peace for Earth and the Colonies; they need her more than he, but in his heart that was not true. He did need her more then anything, more then his life. He couldn’t just ask her to leave with him. That was being too conceited and egocentric. He was half way to the door when, Relena came up from behind and hugged him.

“Don’t leave”, she protested, still holding on. She didn’t want to let go, fearing that he would leave her forever.

“I’m sorry…I have to go.” This was harder then he thought. He had to come here to tell her that he loves her, but only to change his mind and leave her.

If Relena wasn’t facing his back, she would have saw the sad look in his eyes that was only there for a brief second before that was replace once again with the unemotional mask.

He starts to walk again. Relena reluctantly let go of him. She didn’t know what to say as the person whom she loves the most was going to leave her again. She couldn’t watch him go again. Finally, she looked up to say good-bye, but he was gone.

“Heero, I love you,” she whispers to no one.

Author’s note: I know that was kind of stupid, but it will get better. I just didn’t know how to start it, so I have to think of something. ^_^
