Epilogue

Relena’s pretty face changed into a mask of anger. She turned her narrowed eyes to Heero. “You planned that,” she accused.

He smiled brightly at her. “I didn’t push either one of them, just made sure they met. And let me tell you that Sally has a thing for exotic looking guys.”

“You bastard! You fuck with my life, then you won’t even let me have a good time with a now-not-so-nice- guy! What is your problem, why won’t you leave me alone?” she shouted at him. Quatre was the only other person sitting by them, he was staring curiously at the two combatants.

“I can’t leave you alone. I-- I-- I... I like you. A lot,” he said, struggling to find the right words.

Relena’s eyes hardened, she shook her head and said sarcastically, “I’m sure you do.”

“Don’t start acting like a bitch, Relena. I’m trying to tell you that I like you-- more than I would say to anybody else-- and you’re acting like it doesn’t mean anything.”

*~*~*~*

Hilde hugged Duo tighter. They were both still on the stage with the spotlight focused on them.

“I can’t believe you just did that!” said Hilde, hiding her face in his neck. “Oh my God! I can’t believe that...”

The cheers and applause had died a little and Duo tugged Hilde off the stage with him. Duo walked them back stage. He opened the door to a little room and all but shoved Hilde inside.

“You look so fucking hot, Hilde!” he said, hugging her again. He kissed her this time. “I love you.”

Hilde smiled in the brightly lighted room. She pushed away from him a little and looked in his eyes. “I love you too,” she said smiling.

“I’m sorry, I’m so, so sorry. I never meant to hurt you like I did. I didn’t mean to fall in love with you either, but that was a bonus. But please, please say you forgive me!”

She had to laugh at that, his face was priceless. His cobalt eyes were huge, and his mouth was set in a frown, if she made him suffer a little longer, she bet he would start to pout. She caressed his cheek. “I forgive you, Duo. And I know that some people-- AKA Relena-- are going to say I’m an idiot for doing it, but I love you.”

“I promise you that I won’t EVER hurt you!”

“But Duo...?” she started hesitantly.

“What?”

“I’m still your boss,” she said sadly. For the first time, questioning her decision to accept the responsibility of Maxwell Fashion.

“I don’t care,” he said hugging her again. “It’s better like this anyway, look what an immature guy I am...”

She smiled. She kissed his lips softly.

“Besides, I can always sing you another song...” he said smiling impishly.

“You’re never going to change, you’ll always be a womanizing bastard!” she said laughing at him.

“Yup, but the only woman I’m going to womanize from now on is you!”

The End...

AN: Sorry to have made is so short, but it’s an epilogue! Plus, I was running out of ideas. Well, that’s it for Hilde’s Fashion. Yup, it’s done, finished, finito, terminado! There will be a 1xR side story to this for sure... I just don’t know when.
