Members of the ML: *Start grabbing random weapons like guns, knives, pitchforks...*

Crystal Tear: What's going on?

KMF: Haven't you heard? Chibi Cat finally wrote another birthday fic! More than likely we're all gonna want to kill her after we finish reading it!

Zap: Look! It's short! We can kill her sooner!!

Crystal Tear: WOO HOO! *Grabs a bazooka* Let's go!

Chibi Cat: *sweat drop* ......

Italics means a thought

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The pair stood close together on the balcony. Close but not touching. Prussian blue eyes met soft aquamarine ones asking one question. Why?

Relena didn't know what to say even though she knew she was the only one who would be able to answer the question. Of course there was no answer. It was just a fact that had to be accepted.

I'm so sorry I hurt you...

Heero was the first one to drop his gaze. He turned his head slightly so he was looking at the floor.

"How long did this go on?"

"Since I met you to this very day," she said bluntly. She didn't want to lie to him. Eventually he would learn the truth and that would only make matters worse.

"So you never..."

"No. Not ever."

He looked back up and into her eyes again, hoping she wasn't telling

the truth. Searching for something that would reveal all of this a lie caused by his own foolish mistake of not telling he loved her sooner.

He found nothing.

"I never loved you Heero. I-I felt sorry for you. You needed someone and I..."

"You led me on."

"I know."

"Thank you."

"For what?"

The corner of his lips twitched up a millimeter causing a ghost of a smile to appear on his face.

"For showing me I had a heart."

Relena looked up a little surprised.

"Thank you , Relena," he said turning away from her and walking into the building.

As soon as he was out of sight and ear shot, Relena took in a shaky breath and grabbed onto the railing to the balcony for support. She covered her mouth with one hand and tightly shut her eyes to prevent the tears from escaping.

"I had to do it. He needed to know what it felt like. He needed to know unrequited love. He can't just hurt others like he hurt me. He just had to know..."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Members of the ML: BURN THE WITCH!

Heero and Relena: YEAH!

Chibi Cat: Thanks for reading! Bye! *zooms off*
