Summary: An ongoing series of short drabbles exploring the dynamics and complexity of the 1x2x3 relationship.

A/N: This is an ongoing series of short drabbles that is my attempt to explore how the 1x2x3 relationship would work. I will update semi–regularly with three chapters at a time told from Duo, Trowa and then Heero's perspectives. Some will be feelsy/angsty, some will be porny, and some will be sappy.

They have no chronology or order apart from the fact it is set post–EW.

"The Three of Us "

Flowers

Flowers were not something that Heero knew anything about and it was not as though he could ask Duo or Trowa for advice. Duo had wistfully said the only time he'd got flowers was during a stay with the Magunacs and then he'd gone quiet, Heero remembering that was the time just after his own self-destruction and he'd decided not to ask anymore. Trowa had said that Catherine liked peonies but that wasn't much use either. So instead, he went to a florist and asked the woman there who proceeded to make a bouquet with orchids and other expensive plants he didn't care about. He paid and took them, stopping at a cheesy gift store to buy a small stuffed bear and then made his way to the hotel where the gala was taking place.

Heero didn't work in the field anymore and so the whole situation was rare – he had been requested by a certain individual and had been unable to say no. So he spent the entire night in a suit again, listening to security messages and watching a room full of the rich and unbearable.

He didn't expect to see her alone, there were too many people, too many different agents dealing with her and the flowers and the bear he'd given to one of her many assistants, hoping, expecting, to avoid her.

Yet in the midst of the speeches, the dancing, the food and the awards, Relena Darlian had walked over, shimmering in white and gold, taking him by the arm and dragging him to a balcony.

"Heero," she said once they were alone, her tone gentle – more gentle than the last time they spoke.

"Relena," he replied back, unsure what else to say. There were many times in his life that he found Duo's social skills a necessity and a damn saving grace and this was one of them. And he was at home probably naked with Trowa. Which was not an entirely unpleasant thought.

"I've missed you."

Heero blinked at the statement, at the way her eyes were downcast, unable to look him directly at her face.

"You told me –"

"I know," she interrupted, "I told you some things I regret… I didn't understand. It seemed so…"

She stopped and Heero only raised an eyebrow in question as she flustered and stammered over words. Relena had always been so articulate yet it seemed when it came to talking about a three-way relationship between men it caused her to blush – which he supposed he couldn't blame her. They came from entirely different worlds. To Heero there was nothing odd or damn unusual about being with two men and there were many advantages. Those he wouldn't share with her as he dragged his mind out of the gutter to look at her face.

"Heero… do they make you happy?"

"Yeah," he answered even though it was inadequate response to express the relationship he was in.

"Then I want us to be friends again… if you want us to be?"

"I was always your friend."

"When you weren't threatening to kill me?" she retorted quickly - some of her composure returned.

Heero gave her a small smirk. "After that."

Relena looked ready to speak but they were interrupted – someone Heero identified as one of her own senior security staff and she nodded to confirm something to him and began to walk back inside. She stopped at the threshold and looked back over her shoulder fixing him with a smile.

"And Heero… the flowers were beautiful."
