Missing Her

Chapter 12

You Are My One & Only

 

Bright curls fell in waves down her back. Vibrant, yet subtle, eye shadow traced her bright blue eyes. Her full lips shone in the light, the glossy pink doing as advertised and making her lips “utterly kissable”. Relena Peacecraft, with a smile that could make even the coldest man go weak in the knees, walked down the isle, her arm entwined with Zechs'.

 

each time i stumble

and each time i fall

if you'll be there to lean on

i'll give you my all

 

She closed her eyes as he leaned down and kissed her, all coherent thought slipping away. Here and now, it was finally happening. They were getting married, for better or worse, and Relena couldn't have been happier.

 

i am my own person

but with you, i am more

i'm a lady, a lover,

a woman to die for

 

Ten years ago, she married the perfect man. And she couldn't be happier, still. She smiled and laughed as her children ran, her little daughter tackling her husband as he wrestled with trying to keep their two older sons in tow… and failing, miserably.

Heero often told her she looked the same as she had ten years ago, but each time he said so, she disagreed. She had grown wrinkles from laughter, and her smile never seemed to fade, as it once had.

 

|the events that led to bliss|

 

“Tonight's the night.” Lucrezia told Sally. She came out of the bathroom wearing her skimpy lingerie and a sexy smile. “Tonight, I bring Zechs to his knees with mind numbing sex and make he realize his total, complete love for me.” Sally laughed.

 

“You're sure he's the one?” Sally asked. Lucrezia nodded.

 

“I've never been more sure of anything in my life.” Lucrezia told her. Sally stared at her best friend in wonder. She had a mischievous look on her face, and her eyes spoke that she was true to her word. Zechs doesn't stand a chance, Sally thought with satisfaction.

 

“So, do you approve?” Lucrezia asked, swirling and modeling for Sally in her skimpy lingerie. It was very skimpy, and showed off more than Sally realized her friend had. In fact, at that thought, Sally almost felt sick.

 

“Zechs is going to die.” Sally replied. “You look amazing.” Lucrezia's grin grew.

 

“Thanks. Now, do you think I should, or shouldn't bring the edible panties?” Lucrezia asked, her face serious. Sally considered it for a moment, or acted like she was considering it, before answering.

 

“What the hell.” Sally shrugged. “Go ahead and bring `em.”

 

“How're the wedding plans going?” Lucrezia asked as she out a black skirt and a white dress shirt. She came over and sat down on the couch next to Sally while she slipped on her high heeled sandals.

 

“Quatre's getting the reservations now, the priest says he can come when we need him.”

 

“Now we just need to get Heero off his ass and apologize!” Lucrezia said.

 

|Relena's wake up call|

 

“So… you're saying…” Relena stuttered, trying to take in all the information she had just been given by Trowa. He nodded his head.

 

“He was raised to be the perfect soldier.”

 

“Wow… talk about dull.” Relena mused as she leaned back in her chair. She silently ate a few pieces of popcorn as thought over everything.

 

Her fiancé is an assassin-turned-preventer… who doesn't like cats… What kind of person doesn't like cats?

 

“It's gotten quiet.” Trowa commented, looking towards the door where Heero had been pounding and screaming earlier to be let in. Relena growled.

 

“It has, hasn't it?” she sighed. “I wonder why…”

 

She got up and walked over to the door, putting her ear against it to listen. All she could hear were muffled voices, talking about something. Talking about her, she guessed. It sounded like Wufei… what were they up to?

 

She creaked open the door slightly, careful not to let it squeak or make a sound. Relena left it open a crack, so she could hear.

 

“Do you think she's ever going to come out?”

 

“Relax, Yuy. I told her, let her calm down.”

 

“Yeah, but it's been hours. How much cooling could she need?”

 

“More than you're allowing her to have.”

 

There was silence for a few moments.

 

“Okay, I can't take this anymore. I'm going in there, and I'm going to tell her exactly how much I love her, and we'll… elope… or something!”

 

“Heero…”

 

Relena tried to back away quickly as the door was pushed open, a little more than slightly violently, to reveal a determined Heero Yuy staring at her.

 

“Heero…” Relena murmured, staring. Heero nodded towards Trowa, who nodded in return and continued to eat some popcorn.

 

“Relena, I…”

 

“Yes?”

 

through heartbreak, or pain

forgiveness and fear,

you know i'll be with you,

i know you'll be here

 

It was truly an awkward moment… And, being awkward, they stood for a few moments, staring into each other's eyes before engaging in a passionate kiss. It was so passionate, Trowa's eyes started to tear up. Wufei's eyes, however, seemed to glaze over. It would appear that while he was happy for his, he very much so wanted to be somewhere… else.

 

“I'm so sorry.” Heero whispered, holding her in a tight hug.

 

“I'm sorry too.”

 

“Look.” he began, pulling her away so he could look into her eyes. “Wufei and Sally have this plan. A small wedding. No one important there.”

 

There was some coughing from Trowa at this point, and possibly a growl from Wufei.

 

“No one except our close friends, and family.” Heero continued. “And then we're going away together to some place where we won't be bothered. And…” Heero sighed for a moment. “Relena, will you marry me? …again…”

 

“Yes.” she answered without hesitation.

 

|but that's only half the story|

 

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

 

Quatre screamed in horror and quickly ran from the room, covering his eyes and hoping to whatever Gods existed, who obviously enjoyed in his torture, that he didn't bump into anything. Of course, he was too stunned for speech. Or to think really. His instincts were taking over, and right at that moment… well, they were telling him to get far away. Very, very, very far away.

 

….to a bar…. with alcohol…. a lot of alcohol….

 

And there, back in the room, stood Duo without any clothes on as he stared in horror in the direction the blond had come from. He had also left in quite a hurry, screaming in terror, that way as well.

 

|Lucrezia & Zechs|

 

“Well, they're finally getting married.” Lucrezia commented. Zechs glared at her. “What did I do?”

 

“Bastard.” he muttered. “First, he threatens to kill her. Then he goes and falls in love with her. Then he proposes to her, and breaks her heart at the wedding,” he flinched as Lucrezia hit him on the head with a book at this point in his speech, “and then he goes and proposes to her again.” he finished.

 

“Well, he might not have had to propose twice if you hadn't provoked him.” Lucrezia reminded him.

 

“Women suck.” he proclaimed childishly. “I shall look, think, or touch another one in any way other than as a friend so long as I live.”

 

Lucrezia grinned.

 

“Are you sure?” she asked. Zechs nodded. “Are you really sure?” Zechs nodded once more, looking at her curiously. “Are you really sure that I can't change your mind?”

 

Zechs and Lucrezia fell back on the bed in a passionate kiss, hands traveling, and minds a bit more than lost.

 

And she even got to use those edible panties.

 

|as time ticks away… to the very next day|

 

All stood before a slightly livid priest, who had dark circles under his eyes and looked like he could use a good cup of coffee. He began to read from that book, which no one ever really cared about, and Heero and Relena were lost in each other's eyes for what seemed to be the longest moment ever recorded.

 

“Do you have the rings?” the priest asked. Heero looked over at Duo, who pulled out an elegant looking box. Heero opened it, and pulled out the wedding band Relena had chosen. “With this you will be forever bound. The hands, signifying you and your lover, the heart, signifying your love and companionship, the crown, signifying that it is the most important part of your life… and finally, the ring itself. A never-ending circle, to signify eternity, together.”

 

Heero placed the ring on Relena's finger, Relena placing it's companion on his in return.

 

“With these vows you have spoken, and the promise of your life to come, together, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.”

 

Sally and Wufei shared a look, one of promise. On her left hand, glinting brightly, was a simple ring which spoke another wedding soon to come.

 

a/n: I know… it's a crappy little chapter. Truthfully, I'm good leading up to the events, and then I just can't get the end on paper. Anyway, I did end it here… and I'm sorry this wasn't up sooner. I don't get a summer break, and I just started six classes… LOL sad, I know.

Well, this is set up for sequels. A lot of them, in fact. So, I know I'm going to have enough time while I finish the others… REMEMBER TO POST YOUR REVIEWS!!! I also wanna thank all my faithful readers at ff.net and mediaminer.org, I love you guys!

Oh, and if you want a sequel or something… let me know. Otherwise, I'm not sure if I'll remember to write it.
