Duo and Relena kept on looking at each other as the drove through Brussels Monday morning. She kept on blushing and looking away. She still couldn't believe what happened. She felt a little guilty since Heero was Duo's best friend. And knowing that Heero did care for her made her feel a little bit worse.

Duo couldn't help but feel guilty. "I betrayed my best friend. But he isn't back yet. How am I going to tell him this?" The limousine rolled up in front of the building. He opened the door and got out. He took Relena's hand and helped her out. "Did I tell you that you look gorgeous today princess," he said as he kissed her hand.

"No, but I'm glad you said it," Relena laughed. "Now, stop that. Someone will see you doing that," she said as Duo's lips lingered over her hand, kissing each finger. She closed her eyes when she felt his tongue sweep against her skin.

Duo couldn't help but kiss her hand. He grinned up at her when her eyes opened again. "Well, you know me princess, I live on the edge," he said with a laugh.

Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei looked out of their window to the ground below. "Now what do you think of that?" Trowa asked as he looked down at Duo standing close to Relena, her hand still close to his lips.

"I think that there is something going on," Wufei said as he nodded to the scene below.

Quatre held up the binoculars to his eyes. They widened a little. "Oh my."

"What?" asked Trowa as he looked over at Quatre.

"I think someone else sees them as well and he looks mad," said Quatre as he swallowed a little.

Trowa and Wufei's eyes widened. "You mean…" Trowa started to say.

"Heero is there and he looks like he could kill," said Quatre as he lowered the binoculars. "I think we should go out there before Heero commits any serious violence," he said as he rushed out. The other two looked at each other and followed.

Relena tried tugging her hand out of Duo's. She kept on giving him a stern look, but his grin would get even wider. He kissed her palm, sucking the skin against his teeth. "Duo, stop that, someone might…" she trailed off as her eyes fell on a figure leaning against the tree. It was Heero.

Duo noticed that she trailed off and she was looking over his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Heero leaning against the tree. "Oh shit." "Heero, I didn't know you were back," he said. He swallowed audibly and released Relena's hand.

"Heero, when did you get here?" asked Relena as she walked up the steps towards him.

"I arrived here a few minutes ago to see Duo kissing your hand for quite a long time. I actually arrived home early yesterday morning," Heero said as he pushed himself away from the tree.

Duo had followed Relena up the steps. "Yesterday morning? But I didn't see you," Duo asked, puzzled. Then he saw the look in Heero's eyes. "He knows." He took a step back. Heero had a murderous glint in his eyes.

Relena stepped back as Heero walked by her. "Does he know?"

Heero advanced on Duo, who was now standing his ground. "You didn't see me because you were still asleep in bed at half past four in the morning, weren't you?" he growled.

Duo went pale, but remained where he was. "Yeah, I was still asleep. I had a long day."

Heero knew that Duo was lying and he had, had enough. "That's it!" he yelled and launched himself at Duo.

Duo wasn't caught off guard that much, but the impact of Heero's body slamming against his was enough to knock him off his balance a little bit. Heero's fist connected with his jaw.

"You son of a bitch! I leave you in charge of protecting Relena and what do you go and do! You slept with her!" Heero yelled angrily and tried going for Duo's face again, but Duo had blocked it and slammed his fist into his jaw.

Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, and Sally arrived just when those words left Heero's mouth. They looked on in shock as the two hit each other.

"I trusted you! I walk in through your door and find her in bed with you! I'm going to kill you!"

"I didn't mean to! It just happened!" Duo yelled back and threw another punch at Heero.

Heero growled and punched Duo hard in the jaw. His head snapped back at the impact and sent him against the tree. He grabbed Duo's shirt and slammed him into the tree. "It just happened! You have a reputation with women Duo! Was she just another notch on your bedpost?!"

Duo gritted his teeth and managed to latch onto Heero's hands and pull them off. He pushed Heero away. "You bastard! She meant more then that!"

"I bet. You can't ever seem to keep your hands off of any woman! You knew that I cared for her and you still went after her!" Heero yelled as he grabbed Duo by the throat and held him against the tree.

"Yeah, I knew that you cared for her. But did she? When did you ever tell her that you cared about her? She needed to be told that! You had no claim on her!" Duo rasped out angrily as he tried to pry Heero's hand off of his throat.

Heero's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Neither did you! She was never yours!"

"Well Relena could have been yours if you had said something to her! All you had to do was tell her! At least I'm man enough to tell her how I feel about her!" Duo shouted in Heero's face as he finally broke Heero's hold on his neck. He swung his fist and punched Heero in the ribs.

Relena's eyes widened even more.

"And how is that? You never care about the women that you sleep with," Heero hissed as he held the spot that Duo's fist had hit.

"I love her. I love Relena, you asshole," Duo gritted out. His eyes went to Relena. "I fell in love with her while you were away. I didn't want it to happen, but it did!"

Heero stared at Duo for a moment.

Relena felt her heart burst with suppressed emotion. "Duo loves me."

All the others looked on with astonishment.

"But you know what? It really doesn't matter what I feel for her. She's always loved you Heero. I knew that, but I still loved her anyway," Duo stated as he wiped some of the blood off of his chin.

Heero stared at his former best friend. "How could I believe that?" he asked sarcastically.

"Because I love her more then anything and I would want her to be happy with the man that she does love. I would give her up because I love her that much," Duo said as he hung his head.

Relena's eyes filled with tears. "Duo, I don't love Heero the same way as I love you. I have come to realize that over the past few weeks. I did love him and told myself that I did, but something changed. I don't know what, but I have come to love you. Duo, I love you," she said as she walked towards them.

Duo's eyes widened. "You love me, but I thought…"

Relena put her finger against his lips. "Duo, since you have been looking after me, I started to feel things about you. I saw the love in your eyes the other night when you made love to me. I didn't say it then because I didn't know what to say. But I love you Duo," she said as she pressed her lips against his cheek.

Heero stood there with a stupefied expression on his face. Inside, he was dying. He had lost Relena to his best friend and it hurt. He looked up at Duo and Relena. She was wiping the blood away from his mouth with a handkerchief. He looked down at the ground and took out his gun. He fired it into the air.

Everyone turned and looked at him.

"I don't ever want to see you again," Heero hissed at Duo.

"Fine, I quit being a Preventer. I have a business to run. You'll never have to look at me again," Duo said quietly.

Heero nodded stiffly and looked at Relena. His eyes softened a little. "I'm sorry Relena," he said before he walked past the others and into the building.

Relena felt a tear trickle down her cheek. "I hurt him so much," she began to sob.

Duo bowed his head. "I have too, but I love you Relena. I wouldn't change that for anything," he said as he pressed a kiss on her forehead.

"Love is a risky thing," said Trowa as he watched Duo comforting Relena. "I knew something was going on, but Quatre was right to. Duo was in love with her and she with him."

"Too bad for Heero," said Quatre.

"Heero should have told her, but no one could have seen this," Sally commented.

"No one saw this coming. But you can't help who you fall in love with," Wufei stated.

"No you can't," said Trowa.

And with one last look at Duo and Relena, they went inside.

"I love you Relena," Duo said as he held her against him. "I wish it didn't happen this way though."

"I love you too. But it did happen this way. We can't change that," Relena said sadly.

Duo stroked her hair. He looked up at the window where his office was. He saw Heero staring at them. "I'm sorry Heero. I didn't mean to betray you," he whispered.
