Hellow! Just dropping by to deposit this fic. Gomen for the crosspost...
Its hard with a talkative muse, a strange request, and a demanding friend. Okay, so, Nikita wants sappy fic. I can't say anything. So, Sappy Alert!!! But I don't know how sappy this will be, okay. NEways, ZechsxRelena... (I am not liable for anything here okay!) Disclaimers! everything for entertainment purposes, not trying to rob someone of their property. And its fun, at least for me!
Right then... of course this is not Yaoi! but still not for the underaged or those of weak hearts. Oh yah one more thing, this is as complete as I could bring myself to write. -_-*
Relena looked up at his brother. She must admit that he's beautiful. He took the beauty of their mother and took the strength from their father. Beauty, grace and masculinity. What else can a human want?
Love...
yes, she could see it from a million miles away. Her brother is like a walking shell, empty inside because he didn't have love. His glinting mask served as a silent testimony of this, amongst others. She could feel her brother's self destructiveness that sprouts from the guilt, of not being a Peacecraft he should've been. He wouldn't say it out loud, but she knew. Him and Heero, could be alike sometimes...
And, it is odd, she thought. They were separated when they were small.
Yet this feeling of understanding without words and too much of 'emotion readings' came as clear as the clearest sky. As if they lived together the whole of their life.
the strange thing of being siblings.
A soft tap on her shoulder woke her up from her reverie. She looked up again and saw those clear blue eyes looking at her with concern. Why was she here, already? oh yes, her birthday. Her brother had invited her to this beautiful place, fit for a princess' birthday, even though it's a brothel, she knew.
"Is there anything that I can help, Relena-chan?"
"nothing, nii-san, it's just... I don't know this place is so beautiful..."
Relena watched as her brother looked around and lost himself. "Yes, indeed it is."
Not as beautiful as you, Nii-san... and she remembered, the day when she was but young, very young to understand, she used to say, telling everyone with her childish voice, "I am going to grow big and marry Nii- san" and everyone will laugh in glee and will carry her up, and kissed her on her cheeks, and she will steal a glance at her beloved nii-san, who will look up at her and held her hand, and smiled at her.
Even when she awoken in a strange place and couldn't find anyone else but Darlian... no father, no mother, no brother, just Darlian and his family... she would still cry herself to sleep, not seeing her own family, especially her nii-san. Even as she moved with the Darlian household, even as she grew older... that one piece of memory she kept, her love to her nii-san, the care that her nii-san gave to her... but as time moved on, she came to forget what her brother look like. more like a dark shadow, with warm understanding and care.
but nevertheless the memory stayed with her.
even as she met the love of her life, the one person that she swore her
love to, and who loved her back, even as she met Heero Yuy, the perfect soldier, the perfect significant half for her, the love to this nii-san was still there... and she met him. Zechs Merquise, Milliard Peacecraft...
her brother, her first love.
now she could see clearly what her brother looked like...
a soft touch took her back to reality, again. "Are you sure you're okay?" his voice heavy with worry, his brows knotted together.
"Ah, yes, nii-san, just thinking."
"It's your birthday, cheer up!" he smiled. She had no choice but smile as well. Her brother, her long lost brother. Here in front of her. More handsome, more beautiful, more caring, more imposing than what she could remember or dreamt of.
"That's better," his smile broadened. "I am sorry I didn't get you a present..." he said, still smiling.
I gave him a bearhug, "Its fine! really! this place is soooo beautiful, its enough to be my present! and that you are here, that's more than a present for me! really!"
He laughed. His voice sounded like the rich voices of the wind, the richness of warm sunlight. He hugged me back and then straightened me up. "Where's you're boyfriend?"
"He's busy," I smiled bitterly, Heero's out for a mission, I feared for his safety. The last mission he went to, he almost didn't make it.
"Ah, I see. He'll be fine... don't worry... he'll be fine... and you?"
"Yes, I do hope to, and I am fine, thank you..."
But she had this uneasy feeling, worrying about his safety, worrying about everything. And her brother, being a brother that he is held her and patted her, comforted her and whispering words of comfort into her ear...
"Nii-san?"
"Hmm?"
"Can we sit down? I need to ask you something."
And they went to a stone seat in the middle of the garden and sat themselves there.
"You know," Relena started, "I loved him, but I am scared."
"He'll come back... don't worry."
"No... not that... I... you know when..." She blushed deep red, and Zechs needed no more explanation to that.
"Don't you love him?" he asked. she nodded.
"Does he love you?" he asked. she nodded.
"I don't see a mistake..." a voice of utter confusion. He and Treize had been lost in what they called "act of the heart" (even as bodily a pleasure they got) at the first night they confessed their feelings.
"I am just scared. And I... want to do that with someone who I really loved." her blush deepened. He never thought someone could go redder than tomatoes. But he's not the least jesting on his sister's problems.
"Don't you love him, then?" he is utterly lost and confused. Onna... that's what Wufei would say...
"I do... but..."
Relena paused, as if pondering what she should do, what she should say.
Zechs, having all the patience in the world, waited. He's not going anywhere, anyway.
"I..." Relena said, in a very small voice.
"I wanted my first... to be with you..." she blushed deeper still.
And time stopped.
Zechs stared with disbelief at his sister. "Wh... why...?" He couldn't seem to find his words.
Relena blushed even deeper, "Is it bad that I would love my own brother?"
"Re.. Relena... gods." Zechs looked confused now, didn't know what to do, didn't know what to say.
Then Relena sprang up from her seat and kneeled before her brother, placing her hands on his knees and burying her face in her hands. "Please, oh gods.. I've never wanted this so badly before. But I don't want anyone but you..." Her tears streaming down, wetting the fabric of Zechs trousers, seeping into his skin. Zechs hesitated whether he should comfort his sister or just sit silently, acting as if he knew nothing.
At last, he placed his hand and ran it through Relena's hair, comforting her, "It's alright, Relena... Come on don't cry..." then he slid his other hand under her chin and lifted her face.
"Now, you look really horrible when you cried." He brushed the tears softly. "And you know I'll do anything for you, my little sister." He hesitated, "But, this... I..."
"You can't? Is that what you want to say?" her words were barely audible, not a trace of anger, but almost sadness.
"Why, Relena? Why me? not Heero Yuy? you loved him don't you?" Worried and concerned.
"Yes..." she choked. "I love him, so much, I love him more than life itself..."
"So?" Zechs pulled Relena up and placed her on his lap, wiping away the tears and holding her close, "What is wrong then?"
"I love you more... more than anything in the world. I'll travel the hell and back for you..., so, please?"
Her sobs turned into heaves and her cries became uncontrollable. Zechs wondered, was he really that important to her? Was he what she claimed him to be? Wasn't he a flaw in creation? A person without a feeling? Yet someone truly loved him? His sister? Who only knew him for a fraction of time.
Even though they are siblings, they've never grew up together, separated, and meeting again, in circumstances not exactly could be called good terms.
His sister... he remembered how used to be his whole world, when they were little, and he wondered whether things are still like that at the present. Could he actually still have a piece of sanity left?
He was deep into his thinking that he didn't realise his sister had stood, her sobs being less intense. He looked up.
"I... I am sorry..." she started. "I caused so much burden. Even now. After being a grown up. I should've been more mature." Her words were soft and halted as she tried to choke in her tears.
"Just forget what had happened." She finished, turning her back, walking to the gates. "I love you, brother." The wind blew solemnly. Sweeping her tears and her hair.
Zechs watched his sister walked away, wathced her shadows became smaller, watched her hunched shoulders moved away. He loved his sister,
yes. Cared for her. His only family left in this world.
Who was he to deny his sister's happiness? As if all the sins from the past are not enough. But then... the system, the society.
And, who was he? A mere scum of war, despised by many, harbinger of death... Could he actually make someone happy? He didn't know how...
Then he made up his mind. His only sister, her happiness. Damn the society and what they think. If it should be sin, then so be it his, for he had sinned so much, that another wouldn't hurt. He caught up with her and caught hold of her wrist.
"Relena-chan..."
Relena turned around and faced her brother. But before she could say anything, he rained her with kisses.
Zechs eyed her sister from where he sat. They were both undressed, looking at each other, first uneasily, then things came as normal again.
"You have grown... lucky Heero..." Zechs chuckled.
Relena blushed, "and you're a galant knight."
Zechs smiled, "No, I think not, more of an assassin."
Relena approached her brother, and laid Zechs laid his lips on hers. "I don't care who you are, an assassin or a king, you'll always be my brother." She said as they part for air.
He smiled and said nothing.
They laid there, Zechs on his back, Relena snuggled by his side. Their lovemaking were full of laughter, love and care. Catching up with each other, filling each other in with memories of the past, where they would trod barefeet on mosses, a sunny afternoon walk around the glade,
the intriguing masquarade, with colourful dresses...
Candies and chocolates,
Teas and lemonades...
Sister and brother...
Lover...
Forever...
>>> THERE!
Okay, can't bring myself to write the descriptive lemon part of the
story (no time, no guts, blah blah). Anyone who wanted to help me,
please do! Or, I could do it, but some other time, I may not even get
it done...
