Special

Heero sighed, flopping down onto the couch in his apartment. His new apartment. The fifth one, too. Relena seemed to always be able to find him.
The boy heard the mailman slide the mail into his apartment, and walked over to the puddle of envelopes. Bills, money contests; all the rubbish he was used to was there.
But there was another letter. It didn't have a return address. The Prussian eyed boy shrugged and ripped open the envelope, pulling out the white notebook paper.
It was in fancy writing, and Heero shivered. Relena must have written it...He squinted his eyes to read what the politician wrote.
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town
I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you
Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less
Heero blinked in confusion, before reading over it again. And again.
Relena....wasn't in love with him anymore?
He ran to the doorway, grabbed his jacket, and bolted out the door.
Relena smiled a genuine smile before sauntering out of her office door, her briefcase by her side.
No more Heero. The letter should have gotten there by now. The blonde exited the building, spinning around and laughing, greeting the bright, blazing sun.
That brown haired boy could go to hell for all she cared. She had tried.
Tried to show him for years, but she was tired of all the fighting, of all the running, of his emotionless behavior, and how he never made a decision of his own. How he always followed Dr. J.
Well, she didn't have to worry about it now.
Relena skipped, actually skipped, over to her limo and hopped in.
Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
Heero saw her jump out of her car, and much to his surprise, dance around. She seemed so happy. Why? She had just given up love, and she was happy?
The Prussian eyed boy leaned against the doors of her balcony as he waited. He heard her door open, and footsteps. The balcony doors suddenly flew open, and he jumped forward to avoid falling.
"Heero?"
Heero turned to look at a blinking Relena.
He quickly got on one knee, and took her hand.
"Relena..." he started,"I...I want you. I love you. Will you come with me? Be mine?"
Relena laughed.
"This is all some game to you isn't it?" she pulled her hand away,"Trying to play with my heart? Well, Heero Yuy, forget it! I wouldn't take you back even if I still loved you!"
I used to amuse you
But I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back
"Relena..."
She laughed, a bitter, cold laugh.
"That would have turned me to mush any other time, but now I don't care. I tried Heero, I did. For five years I tried. And I'm tired of wasting my life on you! There's no way in hell I'd come back to you! I thought you were special, but now I know you aren't. You're just a cold boy who likes to violently break girl's hearts. Well, frankly, Heero, I don't give a shit anymore. Go find someone else to waste away. Someone who cares."
Heero stared in pain as she closed the balcony doors in his face.
He stayed there, one hand raised to take her hand, sitting on one knee.
She didn't come back.
Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less
Heero trudged into his apartment, dropping his coat. Relena had turned him down....
That was all he could think about. He fell to the floor, his hands on his head as he shook it. She turned him down......
He looked up to see the TV, and crawled over to turn it on. Maybe it would take his mind off of his current dilemma.
What he saw caused the pang in his heart to hurt more.
There was Relena, along with Duo Maxwell, their hands entwined.
He was murmuring in her ear, and she was blushing.
"Miss Relena,"a reporter spoke up, snapping the two back to attention."What about your old crush..who was it? Oh yes, Heero Yuy. Weren't you two together?"
"He is nothing but that; an old crush. He isn't anything more," Duo announced, before taking Relena into his arms and hugging her as she nodded, grinning.
So, Heero was the talk of the country. Well, well, well, maybe they would tell her to come back to him.
'It looks like she has someone new to stalk,' Heero thought. 'Mission Accepted.'
The Prussian eyed boy then set about planning to catch the infection that had plagued him for years.
I'm looking for a new infection
But we were the talk of the town
Relena smiled as Duo gently lowered his lips to hers. The couple gently kissed, no longer concerned about the perfect soldier. All they cared about were each other, and how special they were to the other.
I thought you were special
