THE SIXTH PILOT SAGA:
Episode 4: "Un-Likley Romance"
Hiro felt like he was in a dream, this couldn't be happening, but it was...he was kissing Aria Mizugami there was nothing else on his mind, he was kissing the woman he loved....their first kiss....hopefully not their last. When they paused, it was only for a moments breath. Hiro and Aria gasped, softly, taking in air, after a surprisingly passionate kiss. Hiro licked his lips, savoring the taste of it. Looking up, he and Aria allowed their eyes to meet as they regained normal breathing. Hiro pressed his upper lips against Aria's, his gaze showing a joyous sparkel.
"Did you like that?" he asked, as his ocean blue eyes met her emerald green ones. Aria looked back at him with an expression of slight surprise, she was still recovering too.
"Yes.." she whispered breatlessly, trailing off as she kissed him again, this time gently, welcoming his tounge into her mouth. Hiro took the invitation with relish, and his thoughts focused on the duel of tounges that was excelerating in their mouths. Using his tounge to pry her mouth open further, Hiro eventually forced Aria's mouth all the way open so that they could explore each other's passion further. As Hiro hungrilly ran his mouth over hers again and again, Aria could only submit to his kissing, enjoying every moment of it. When they parted again for a rest, Aria's hand flew instinctivly to her lips, feeling them, just before licking them, so that she could always have that taste. Aria and Hiro looked at each other...silent and motionless. They both knew what had happened....
They had fallen, and fallen hard, for each other. Hiro Yui and Aria Mizugami, two enemies drawn together, perhaps by fate, perhaps by chance.
The two (dare I say) "lovers" were so oblivious to the outside world, that had they not been they would have noticed the blounde woman on the fire escape outside, crying.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So what happened then?"
Duo was frantic, absorbed deeply in Relina's description of what happened, not because she was a brillient linguist, but mostly because of the sheer shock he felt.
"Then he (sob sob) Oh god Duo....he he..."
"Yes, Relina?"
They where at Duo's house now, Relina reliving the experience of what she had seen through Hiro's window, and Duo listening with interest, trying to take it all in. After seeing the love of her life passionatly involved with another woman, Relina had left, and discovered the place her feet had guided her too was Duo's. Duo felt extreme sympathy for her, but his curiosity tempted him too. The idea of Hiro and Aria, a woman who said she was going to kill him seemed so....unusual to Duo, that he wanted to burst out laughing as if it were a huge joke. Relina was sobbing still and Duo was attempting to calm her sufficiently so that she could get on with the story.
"So then what happened?" Duo asked, not un-kindly. Relina looked at him, lifting her face out of her hands for one of the first times since she entered the house. Her eyes were red and puffy, her usually composed expression gone. She seemed to be remembering a particulally dramatic moment...all the more reason for Duo to be interested.
"When I left...(she choked) When I left, Hiro was....oh he was touching her Duo...."
"So..whats wrong with touching?" Duo asked, his sub-consious guessing what Relina had really meant.
"You don't get it Duo...he was touching her here." she firmly indicated the chest with her finger. Duo blinked in surprise.
"Did she uh....still...uh..."
"Yes, they were still fully dressed you pervert....oh god, I don't know what to do...." Relina sobbed. Duo, feeling there was nothing else to do, put an arm around her.
"Aw, come on, Relina....chill out...I mean..I know it's hard but-"
"Of course it's hard, damn it! I...I love Hiro, I don't want to see that swordstress slut get him." Relina said, with scorn in her voice. Duo laughed.
"'Swordstress Slut?' And just what kind of romance novels do you read, girl, you're starting to sound like me!" Duo quoted, resisting the temptation to imitate Relina's high pitched voice. Relina laughed a bit, feeling just a bit better.
"Don't tell me you read romance novels, Duo." she said jokingly. To her surprise Duo produced a pink paperback, cover sparkeling with heart shaped symbols.
"Call it a hobby." Duo said, smiling widly. Relina gasped and laughed again. She had never met a boy who read romance novels. She happened to have read this particular one herself.
"Did you like it? I've read the whole thing 6 times!" she gushed happily. It was her favorite book.
"I read it 9 times." Duo said, laughingly. Standing up, Duo proceded to do an impression of one of the particularly bishonen male charecters. He spoke in a low romantic voice, the kind used in movies.
"Oh my dear Andrella, I have traveled over deepest oceans seeking your beautiful hand in marriage." Duo flung himself at Relina's feet as though she was Andrella. He bowed low, kissing her hand.
"Be my bride, my darling."
Relina had to stiffle a giggle. Still, this looked like fun.
"Oh Troy! I am but engadged to another! Where he not so persistant, I would still never take you for myself!"
(Duo pretended to look shocked at Relina's mock-stuffiness.)
"Oh but my darling...oh how I have saught thee...thy gorgeous face that was...was..."
"Shaped by the gods."
"Shaped by the gods, yes....and your lovley eyes, sparkeling in the night like they themselves where but stars."
At this Duo pulled Relina up to her feet and against him, as though he was about to attempt some daring action.
"Be mine, my darling."
"Never!" Relina said, with mock-passion. This was fun.
"Yes!" Duo exclaimed passionatly, leaning forward.
"No!"
"Yes!" Closer.
"Never! You worthless slime!" Relina was acting on instinct now, unable to pause the scene of laugh.
"You will be mine!" Duo exclaimed, for Relina or "Andrella's" face was now only an inch from his own. Relina knew her next line.
"You..you..scoundrel...I...I...must confess, (dreamily) even in my dreams did you never look so radient!"
"Scoundrel am I? Well let's just see how you react when I steal you with my...my.." Duo suddenly comprehended his next line.
Relina froze too. Duo's next word was "lips." Relina realized almost abruptly, that she was looking directly into Duo's violet eyes...why had she never noticed them before? They were unusual, but very emotional, a soft rich purple that she felt compelled to stare into them longer...good god they were gorgeous....
Duo felt himself blush slightly as Relina raised a hand to his face. He knew she was about to say the next line but he wasn't sure whether she was acting or not.
"I will allow myself to be stolen by you, you handsome..handsome..'
"Handsome rouge, Relina."
"Oh what does it matter, Duo...we...we...look at us...we..."
They were less than a centimeter apart now. Duo calmed her.
"Shh...Relina...I...I...I know."
Relina shivered slightly as she felt his breath on her lips, it was drawing her closer, pulling her to him, she couldn't stop...
Bang. It happened. Thought stopped.
Time stopped.
The world was spinning...the world was dissaperaing...
They had kissed.
Duo Maxwell, Gundam pilot and friend of the man Relina thought she loved....now, she wasn't so sure....did she really love him(?) was now kissing her.
Duo was lost in the kiss, unable to stop himself, even if he wanted to. He had kissed many girls, true enough. Even a few guys....Hiro included...but still, there was something here, some spark he had never felt before...They were like two white hot embers being pressed together...Duo could feel Relina submitting to him.
Finally, unable to stop herself, loosing all control in some way she hadn't really thought about, for rational thought did not exist, Relina began to kiss Duo back, matching his passion, and trying to out do him. Duo readily excepted this new challenge, putting his years of experience at this to work, kissing her full force now, not holding back.
After several long moments that lasted forever, Relina and Duo pulled away, not just from the kiss but from each other, mutually agreeing on a break, at least to breath.
"D-Duo..." Relina gasped, inhaling as much air as she could. Duo nodded as he gasped to, his posture slightly bent by the fact that he was out of breath.
"Y-yeah...I know...what you....mean.."
After the two reagained breath fully, Duo and Relina faced each other, Relina blushing, Duo confused.
"Duo....what just happened?"
"Well, other than the fact that we just basically made out, the long version is that you and I kissed while acting out a romance novel no doubt either due to acting skills we both possessed, or a possible factor of harboring secret passions for each other throughout several years of knowing each other."
"Say that again?"
Duo smirked.
"We kissed Relina. Not just any kiss but a pretty passionate one."
"I-I realize that....why?"
"Hey if I knew, do you think I'd be in my state of 'ignorance is bliss happiness'?" Duo asked, arms behind his head as was his custom. Relina stared at him, something like disgust and sheer confusion crossing her face.
"Y-You...you don't care do you?" she asked, the disgust evident in her voice. Duo shrugged, somehow becoming even cuter than she had previously thought.
"Not really. If you want to insult me like usual, go ahead. If you want to give 'us' a try, I'm ready for that to."
"But when you love someone you are supposed to pursue that emotion to the bottom of your very soul, Duo I thought-"
"Relina, this isn't nessicarily love. That's why I said 'try'."
Relina stared at him.
"So basically, you're going to wait for me to make the first move?"
"Yep." said Duo, looking cuter still with his cool, happy smile.
Relina sighed. She had two choices but her mind was urging her to take Duo up on his offer. Finally, after giving the matter many moments thought looked up at the Maxwell boy and spoke.
"Okay Duo."
"Okay what?" Duo asked, confused by the way Relina was looking at him. It resembeled the way Hiro looked at a steak when he was hungry.
Relina stepped over the bag of patato chips on the floor, also avoiding the novels Duo had discarded.
"Okay, let's experiment."
"Wh-what, with what exactly?"
"With the whole...'us' thing...it makes sense, Duo."
"I-It does? It does....why does it make sense again?" Duo was flustered, this was the answer he hadn't prepared himself for.
"Oh, come on, we're both attractive, young, single people who've had heartbreak before, we're both popular and we both have been after Hiro at some point."
"H-how did you know about that?"
"Never mind. Duo, this makes sense, let's try it."
Relina was in Duo's arms now, not surprising Duo had left them open like an invitation. Duo looked down at the girl he was holding, really seeing her for the first time. It was a revelation beyond any he had ever dreamed possible. She was pretty. Her hair did have the color of honey, and her eyes did have a look of saphires in them.....Duo swallowed hard, but his next sentence was cut off by someting that he was even less prepared for....
Relina's kiss.
Unable to stop himself from experimenting with lips that felt so comfortable on his own, Duo crushed his mouth over hers, all worries fading from his mind...maybe it would work...maybe it wouldn't....still, at least right now, he had this, this single, wonderful, miricle kiss.
Amazing how fate could change in 12 hours, isn't it?
