Heero waited anxiously in his hospital bed. Hoping Duo would show up soon so he could ask his question. He fingered the box in his hand and smiled wistful at it. All the dreams he shouldn't have made and all the hopes he shouldn't have had were in this box. The dreams and hopes were a product of Duo's diligence in getting him to come out of his shell, and Heero wanted to show him how well it worked.

There was a knock at the door and Heero yelled, "Come in."

He looked with hopeful eyes but was disappointed when he saw Relena followed by Dorothy.

"Hello Heero."

"Relena."

"How are you feeling today?"

"Good."

"Well that's good." She sat down nervously in a chair while Dorothy stood at the door. She straightened her dress out and then looked up at Heero with steady eyes, "Look I'm here to talk to you about something important, and please hear me out before you say anything."

Heero nodded his head and waited. Relena took a long breath then started speaking again, "Heero, I don't love you. I have done a lot of thinking while I was with Mariemaia and I thought mostly about you and me. During the first war, I fell in love with you but then you disappeared for a whole year. I guess between then and now I have grown up a little bit. I still want you as a friend but I don't think we could be more than friends."

Relena stopped talking and was surprised when Heero started to laugh at her, "Heero, I'm not joking. I'm serious."

Heero slowly got himself under control and smiled at Relena, "Relena, I don't love you either. I love Duo Maxwell and I'm glad that you have grown up. I would also like to be friends with you."

Relena looked a little put out, "Well then…I would love to be friends too." Then she smirked, "And here I thought I would have you grovel at my feet or at least cry."

Heero smiled at her, "I'm not one to cry for anyone."

"Well, fine. Be that way," she mocked pouted but it was ruined when she smiled, "I would love to have lunch with you sometime. Here's my number to my private line. Call me anytime you need to."

She smiled serenely at him then stood to leave, "Well I best be going. Places to go and people to see. Call me, okay?"

"I will. Thanks Relena."

She smiled at him and left with Dorothy in tow. Heero was kind of surprised that Dorothy hadn't said anything but he didn't really think about it. He got comfortable in the bed and waited.

It was a good two hours before the door reopened. Heero smiled when he saw Duo walk in, "Duo."

Duo looked up at him and smiled slightly in return, "Hi Heero."

"Duo I need to…" "Heero I need to…"

Duo and Heero said at the same time. They chuckled for a little bit before getting themselves under control.

"Go first Heero."

"Alright, Duo I need to ask you something."

"Shoot."

"Well, I know traditionally I should be kneeling on one knee but I guess I'll just make do. Duo, I love you. I love the way you talk, the way you move, I love everything about you and I wanted to ask you…will you marry me?"

Heero opened the box with the ring inside and held it out to Duo. He looked expectantly at Duo for his answer.
