GW and its characters don’t belong to me but to Sunrise/SOTSU Agency, Bandai etc. etc.

This little fic was inspired by Jutry’s picture of Heero and Relena kissing under the mistletoe. I’ve fallen in love with the picture and the expressions and wanted to explain them from my POV.

Typical 1xR sap. Heero finally allowing himself to show Relena his true feelings, nothing that really hasn’t been done before, but I just had to write something to go along with the picture.

So here’s the finished product, hope you guys like it.

Heero stood in the quietest corner that he could find, well out of the way of the small gathering of Christmas enthusiasts that had gathered at the humble abode of Duo and Hilde Maxwell. He hadn’t even meant to come to their party, but the snow outside had cancelled all flights in and out of town, leaving him and his personal shuttle stuck and marooned. He had no place else to really go, or that was the excuse he had given himself. For, if he had been honest, he had wanted to leave before the party because he knew Relena would be attending; the one person in his entire life that could take him totally off guard, floundering in panic like a fish out of water.

The doorbell rang and he saw Hilde scampering across the room to get the door, yanking it open quickly and immediately enveloping into a hug, one Relena Dorlian. “You came!” She just about squealed with delight. “We weren’t sure if you were.”

Laughing lightly, the President of ESUN hugged her friend back before pulling away to slip off her coat. “Well, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to attend, but lucky me, this snowstorm stranded all flights, though they have done a good job at clearing the main roads.”

If he had not been so instantly seduced by the way her rich purple, white faux-fur lined dress suit clung to her slender form, he would be fuming at the fact that her personal security had obviously let her out unattended. True, Peygan was behind her, but what could an old man have done against any real threats?

He sighed heavily and rubbed his hands over his face, he was simply too tired to worry about anything tonight. Especially a certain stubborn as a mule, but none the less gorgeous politician, who dare leave her security behind just to attend a lousy party.


Letting his hands fall to his sides, he raised his head, his eyes catching sight of her again. This time she was laughing, while chatting and flirting with a male neighbor of Duo’s, that Heero didn’t know. Part of him felt hurt that she had not even acknowledged his presence, not even one long lingering gaze at him from across the room.

“Screw it.” He muttered, turning away and stepping into the next room, which was void of all partiers.

He was relieved finding the room dark except for the twinkling lights of all of the Christmas decorations that were placed strategically around the room. “Overboard as usual, eh, Duo?”

“I think everything looks quite beautiful.”

Heero was able to mask just in time the surprised look on his face as he spun to meet the woman whose lovely voice and face never left his head.

“Relena…I didn’t think…”

“How could I walk into a room, and not, notice you?” She stood straight, her elegant grace as present as ever, along with her heartwarming smile that could melt even the coldest of hearts, Heero Yuy’s included. Her smile seemed to grow brighter as she neared, pulling him to her in friendly hug. “You might not be glad to see me, but I am so happy to see you.”

She pulled away and looked up at him and looked down at her hands, which were nervously playing with a piece of ribbon that had fallen from the archway’s mistletoe display. “I’ve missed you and I still worry about you, but then you already know how much I care, so don’t berate me for it.”

He nodded his head, unable to think of anything to say to her. She stepped away from his embrace, her foot moving before her body to exit the room.

“Wait.”

The blonde woman, turned where she stood, under the archway, her eyes locking on to his almost immediately. “Yes, Heero what is it?”

Not knowing quite sure where his sudden boldness or lack of self-control was coming from, he stepped immediately in front of her. “I’ve missed you too.”

Her smile was back, though this time somewhat more timid as a mild blush crept into her cheeks. “It’s so good to hear that, thank you.” She placed her arms around his neck, drawing herself up on her tiptoes so that she could kiss his cheek.

The feel of her soft, temped lips against his smooth cool skin, threw Heero into an almost anxious state, but this time it was not filled with the desire to flee, but instead to hold onto the angel in his arms and never let her go.

And, when she began to pull away and say another good-bye, his body took action, canceling out the logic of his mind and he found his hands on the small of her back, tugging her to him as he closed his eyes and dipped his head, stealing from her a kiss.

Whether it was several seconds or several minutes, Heero was unsure, but what he was sure about was the fact that while her arms around his shoulders still clung to him tightly, the rest of her body seemed frozen, even her lips had not moved an inch under his. Not breaking the kiss Heero opened his eyes lazily, to see into two wide pools of lavender blue in shock.

He drew his head back slowly, his expression a blend of hurt and embarrassment. Just as he thought, she didn’t really want him. He had placed his emotions on the surface; his heart on his sleeve, and for what, so that she could only rip it off and throw it back at his face. Follow your emotions…what stupid advice.

But, the nice hearty slap he had expected from her did not come, nor did the stern rebuttal, or the push of her hands against him, so that she could make her get-away. Instead she had remained in his embrace, her fingers casually threading the hairs at the nape of his neck; he took another chance and raised his eyes back to hers, surprised somewhat when he saw her looking back at him softly and longingly.

“Heero.” The way she spoke his name immediately had conveyed to him that his reservations had been uncalled for, his fears unnecessary and that in fact she had taken his heart and placed it right beside her own.

He brought up his hand, smoothing her hair, his fingertips picking up the tickling feel of the red fuzzy hair bands that decorated her honey colored hair most beautifully.

“Why don’t you try that again?” She spoke to him with gentle teasing. “This time when I’m a little more prepared. I guarantee you; you’ll get quite a different response.”

If he had been paying attention to anything else but the sparkling clear gloss that painted her lips, he would have realized that on his own lips was a thin, joyous smile, filled with warmth and tenderness. He nodded silently and dipped his head once more, bringing it down as she tilted hers and drew it upward.

And true to Relena’s Dorlian’s words, her response to this kiss was most definitely more inviting.
