I'd Rather Be In Love

Lyrics by: Michelle Branch

~~~~~

Heero Yuy stared at the planet Earth from his gundam's cockpit. I wish I had her here with me. Wait, what am I talking about? I cannot feel love. But I think I do... Heero's mind wandered over and over, and each time filling itself with thoughts of Relena. He looked mindlessly at planet Earth. I cannot destroy you. I will not destroy you. I promise.

~~~~

I cannot help it, I couldn't stop it if I tried

The same old heartbeat fills the emptiness I have inside

And I've heard that you can't fight love, so I won't complain

Cause why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on?

~~~~

Heero's footsteps sounded quiet as he walked up the sidewalk to Relena's house. He knocked on the dark mahogany door. A butler answered the door. When told to wait a moment, Heero leaned against the wall, hiding in the darkness.

~~~~

'Cause when there's you, I feel whole

And there's no better feeling in the world

But without you I'm alone

And I'd rather be in love with you

~~~~

Heero watched as Relena rounded the corner from the stairs, and as she quickly sauntered towards him.

"Oh, Heero." she said breathlessly while hugging him.

Heero gently broke the friendly hug and slowly walked into a room, lit only by a large fireplace. He sat in an overstuffed chair for a moment, only to let Relena walk behind him. While still holding a chance, he stood. Hard, cobalt eyes stared into soft, light blue, and the former turned away. But as soon as he did, he turned his gaze back on her.

"Relena... I..." Heero almost started to confess his love for her, but caught himself when she moved closer to him. "I... really missed you."

Relena's eyes looked glassy for a moment, then turned away from the man addressing her. She only noticed that he was paying attention to her when his hand came up to her face and gently began to caress her jaw. Her eyes flashed back in his direction. She only saw that he was staring directly into her eyes.

Heero bent over and placed a small kiss on Relena's lips, only touching them lightly. He then moved to her ear, raking his teeth over her earlobe. He whispered, "Do you like this, Your Majesty?" He felt a small nod under his face. "Good." He paused. I like it too.

~~~~

Turn out the lights now

To see is to believe

I just want you near me

I just want you here with me

And I'd give up everything only for you

It's the least that I could do

~~~~

Heero kissed Relena passionately, unlike anything, except war, with his soul. In the heat of passion, they had both said things they would never repeat. Except maybe...

"I love you."

Heero said as he caressed her hair. God, she's beautiful. I'm glad that she is mine. Forever.

~~~~

'Cause when there's you, I feel whole

And there's no better feeling in the world

But without you I'm alone

And I'd rather be in love with you



And I feel you holding me



Why are we afraid to be in love?

To be loved I can't explain it

I know it's tough to be loved

And I feel you holding me

Oh, oh And when there's you, I feel whole

And there's no better feeling in the world

But without you I'm alone

And I'd rather be in love



Yes, I'd rather be in love

Oh, I'd rather be in love with you

And I feel you holding me, oh

*~*~*~*~*~*

Okay... I know. You can do whatever you want to me now. I don't own them.

Hope you liked it.

R&R!!
