GW: Suited

Fandom: Gundam Wing
Pairing: Dorothy/Relena
Warnings: None
Rating: PG
Summary: They're suited for one another. For [livejournal.com profile] beat_of_destiny.



Dorothy tries to be quiet when she sneaks out to join Relena, away from the party, away from the noise and dancing and champagne. There's a faint breeze, a cool one, from the sea, that picks up Relena's hair and throws it out behind her, picks up her dress and makes the skirt blow gently, like a Princess from a children's movie. She puts her hand on Relena's slim, bare shoulder, feeling the warmth of her skin, and not really surprised when she's not surprised.

"Your Prince abandon you?"

Relena blinks a little and then offers a tiny quirk of a smile. "Perhaps. He didn't want to dance."

"I see."

There's silence between them for a moment and then Relena turns back to admiring the view, leaning against the balcony's wall. It comes up to only just below waist height, and Dorothy thinks briefly that one brief push...

It's not that she doesn't like Relena.

She just doesn't like what Relena has made of herself, the shimmering-shining-princess, the politician who hides her capabilities behind a mask of overly-friendly innocence. It's not a bad act, she just doesn't like to see Relena lying and hiding so.

Relena's the light you shouldn't hide under a bushel.

"Trouble in paradise?" she asks, with a little edge to her voice, leaning against the wall beside Relena. Her bare arm touches Relena's and that's a distraction she fights off with a little difficulty. It's cold, and both girls are chilly, and that's the only reason she moves closer.

"Oh, it wasn't paradise anyway."

It's the closest Dorothy has heard to a straight answer from either of them as to whether Relena and Heero were together. She looks away from Relena, down at the ground. "You argued?"

"We didn't suit each other."

Dorothy moves a little closer, sees a tear on Relena's cheek that's at odds with the quiet strength in her voice. "Hey... it's okay."

Relena looks up and nods, lets Dorothy brush away the tear. "Yeah," she says softly, "it is."

And Dorothy wants to tell her that they'd suit each other.

*pets and snuggles* Buh, why do you hate your writing?

[identity profile] cupcakemonster.livejournal.com 2006-04-24 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
this :\

I'm surprised at how... um, cold and heartless she is. Considering she complained to Nay about wanting to make friends in the community.

*hugs tight*

Reading it all, I just sort of have to go o_O. Like this quote from one of her last comments on the page, "It's all about ideas and experimentation for me, not manufacturing enough fic that I can get 'recognition' in a particular fandom."

Someone's probably jealous of other people's creativity, oh yes. It's like if you write a lot, she thinks you're automatically trying to get recognition. Whereas we write a lot, 'specially when together, for fun.

*hugs again* And I think you're a great writer, and your characterisations are good, and sometimesIenvyyoualittle. :3

She has this weird thing with recognition!! Like she says "I'm not a BNF and never will be," and in the next breath goes on about how she's on 1000+ peoples fav. authors on ff.net and has loads of reviews. I mean, what? Which is it? Do you like being recognized or do you write it purely for fun and pleasure? Make up your mind, lady!

... I mean, I stopped really posting on ff.net. Mainly because the reviews are meaningless to me. I've found really good friends and authors here on LJ, you know, you, and [livejournal.com profile] ringprincess and [livejournal.com profile] mneme_forgets and [livejournal.com profile] bottle_of_shine and others, right?

And I write with you not for the reviews or anything... I write with you because when you comment with a link to your bit of the story I'm all "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE" inside. That's the fun bit. That's just the best part!

*eats your envy like cake* That made me feel a little better. :P Which is wrong because I shouldn't get off on someone else's envy. *snuggles with you all cozy like* Boo. And it's so sunny and nice outside.

I shouldn't let a person with a heart of ice bother me, but I'm sensitive and I'm not afraid to show weakness. Boooooo.

God, I have no idea how many favourites lists I'm on. o_O ...88 or so, and I've been on ffnet a year. :/

Yeah. The whole fun is being all eeeeeeeeh whatsneeeext? and stuff. :3 I love getting reviews, but I write in fandoms like Engines of Light when I want to and nobody I know knows the fandom. It's about the eeeeh, I'm too old for Barbie dolls so I'm going to play with Gippal/Baralai/whoever.

*snuggles back* :DD

I should not be online. I should be studying like mad. I have an exam tomorrow. Woe! But these small breaks make me work harder when I'm not goofing off so that's okay.

XD I think last I checked I was on 15? I'm not sure! I don't really... use it as a count of coolness... mainly because when I fav. someone it;s because I'm too lazy to bookmark their page XD

Engines of Light? Yeah! Never heard of it! XD

Gippal/Baralai. Nay is jealous that you have me writing slash. It may end up spilling over all regular-like.

stay with me as I am clinging and sad. are we writing more??? or were we done?

[identity profile] edenbound.livejournal.com 2006-04-24 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't really, either. xD I never favourites'd anyone.

xD Slash is goooood.

I will write more once I've finished this section. Especially because I'm not going to be around tomorrow or Wednesday. We weren't done. xD
