A/N: Back with another microfic, now inspired by `Meteor Garden'. This one's set sometime after Heero fainted in Relena's arms in Endless Waltz.

Mourning Sickness (Flat Line)

The steady beeping of the cardiograph was the only sound that Relena heard when she barged into Heero's room.
A scalding wetness swaddled her eyeballs as she shifted them disbelievingly from the glowing flat line to the blanketed figure on the hospital bed; Quatre and Duo watched her somberly from the other side of the room, shaking their heads when she flashed an unnecessary question on her face.
She managed to keep the tears at bay while pulling the blanket down with deliberate slowness, but when she was finally able to take a close, good look at Heero's bruised but tranquil face, she suddenly broke into uncontrollable sobs; she started to blather crestfallenly, pounding her fists on his chest and begging him to `Come, back, Heero!' and `live!'.
She was like that for about ten minutes and she only stopped, turning pallid in confusion and shock, when the supposedly dead man in front of her began to cough and threw her a what-on-earth-are-you-talking-about stare. After hearing Duo's booming chuckle and seeing Quatre hide his giggles behind a fist, she gave the now sneering patient a not-so-light swat across the bandaged area of his torso and stomped embarrassedly out of the room, a stain darker than her blush-on scattering on her cheeks.

Additional A/N: The third paragraph is probably the most clichéd crying-in-the-hospital scene—a different and more literal version of mourning sickness, as I prefer to call it—in almost all movies that I've watched before. Hee, I think it'll be cute if Relena'll do that! XD
And oh, I cheated. I planned on posting a Noin-Zechs ficlet after the Sally-Wufei one, but the 6+9 muse's kinda avoiding me lately. XD They will have one, though, in the future. Have a good day everyone!
