Chapter 9: Stone Hearts Learn to Feel
Heero looked in the mirror and finally walked out to where Ala was waiting. It had been a year since they had meant and now he was throughly in love even though he didn`t want to admit it but he had to eventually. He loved the way she smiled when she did, the confidence she had even in this demention. He loved her as a whole person. He loved her even though she had blown up at him numurouse times.
He walked out the door and down the walkway where she was waiting by a taxi. How had she come so far in a year? The animal skins were replaced by jeans and a tee shirt. Her callased feet were covered with tennis shoes and her maroon hair was pulled back in a pony tail. Her once timid walk was now a confident gait which Duo had taught her. More importently, she was no longer an enchantress.
She smiled at him and he saw another change. Her once meat stained teeth were white and sparkly. In spite of all this he had to wonder which was better. Men didn`t chase her here and if they did not only would they have her power to deal with but also five pilots power. She seemed at home but was she really? Would she ever tell him if she weren`t? Most likely not.
She smirked at him as he decended the stairs to his appartmen building. "Hey Heero."
He took a breath in and got into the taxi after opening the door for her. He leaned forward and whispered something into the drivers ear than they started driving slowly. He had planned this to the last detail for weeks. He turned to her. "So, you like it here?"
She smirked. "Yeah I do. No one is head over heels in love with me." She gave him a side ways glance than smirked to herself. Except you.
He swollowed. "Really?" Heero kicked himself mentally. All the missions he had and he couldn`t even talk to a girl! He let out a shuttering breath and mentally reviewed his notes. All the way from the illogical part to the love part, he had it memorized. They finally pulled up to his destination. "Close your eyes."
She blinked at him. "Why?"
He scowled, he had planned for her to do it right away. He took out his gun and stuck it at her. "Close your eyes!" She listened with a slightly amused look on her face and he helped her out of the car. He led her to a cliff that overhung the ocean and than told her to open her eyes. She gasped and looked around.
"Heero, it`s beautiful." She sat down on the ledge and stared with contentment at the ocean.
Heero cleared his throat. "When I first saw you I thought you were a girl I had killed by accident a long time ago....." He trailed off and stared her in the eyes. They were twinkling at him as if with antisipation. His mind went blank of the well memorized notes and he sighed. "Will you marry me?"
She blushed and laughed. "It`s about time Heero." Heero leaned in slowly and she closed her eyes. All the men that were in love with her and she had never been kissed. Now she was getting her first kiss from an univited stranger.
