Obsession Part 1: The Invitation

--Zenkat
no reviews=no more in the series
Rating: R (just to be safe AND 'cause all the others in this series will contain R-rated material)
Standard disclaimer applies to all except Eve--She's the product of my television-warped imagination








Okay--I finally got over my writer's block and decided to write this fic. Read the EXPLANATORY INTRO otherwise this fic will make no sense and you will have no idea who the new character is and you'll probably wonder 'who the hell is she and what the hell is she doing with Heero, I thought he was with Relena, and why didn't read the intro so I know the answers?!' I decided to make an intro explaining things mostly because I'm too lazy to write it out in a separate series. If you still wanna know Exactly what happened to bring you to this current situation, ask me nicely and I will probably write it for you and post it as a prequel. Just so you know, the majority of this series will be rated R (you'll see later in this one and others). Enough chatter on my part--on with the fic.
--Thanx for reading; all opinions and reviews are appreciated!!--

EXPLANATION--
As promised, here is my explanation leading up to the present. Imagine, if you will, a sixth Gundam pilot shows up on the scene (don't you dare roll your eyes at me..). Imagine that this pilot is female. Through dogged perserverance and alot of pestering, she befriends Odin (a.k.a. Heero Yuy). She carries out many of the same typesof missions that the others do. In an unfortunate 'accident', her gundam is destoyed and she becomes simply a soldier. Somewhere along the line, Heero (I choose to use this name, I like his real name but I think everyone knows him best as Heero) realizes that he feels not merely a deep friendship with this girl, but loves her deeply. They are currently living together in an apartment in an un-named city (on Earth). Project M was launched around a year ago (Pre-Endless Waltz).
***If enough of you ask me, I'll post all this in a separate series that'll explain everything and give the details--I just don't feel like doing it right now. On with the fic.

Part 1: The Invitation
Eve yawned loudly as she stretched, the soft blankets falling about her lithe form. Sitting for a moment, she recalled the previous nights activities. Heero had gone on a long mission, two months and 12 days to be exact, and saying that they had missed eachother would have been a severe understatement. //Where did he get to?// She thought, noting he wasn't in the bed, sleeping or otherwise. She grinned and sighed as she heard the steady clicking as his fingers danced lightly across the keys of his well-used laptop. //Of course//. Standing up and wrapping a sheet around herself she stood and walked over to him, noticing that he hadn't bothered to dress as she draped her arms over his shoulders and let her hands brush idly against his lower abdomen. His muscles tightened for a moment at feeling her exposed flesh rubbing against his, then relaxed.
" 'morning." He said, not taking his eyes off the screen.
"Sleep well?" She asked innocently. He chuckled.
"As a matter of fact, very well." She blushed slightly.
"Can I take that as a compliment?" She said, regaining her composure and nuzzling behind his ear.
"If you want to." She frowned at him, then "What are you doing?"
"Checking my mail."
"Oh. Got any?"
"Apparently."
"No need to be rude ya' know." She said removing her arms and the hands attached to them. She walked over and seated herself on the bed-then thinking better of it she flopped backwards and lay there.
Hearing Heero 'Hm' dissapprovingly she sat back up.
"What is it?"
"Something with 'Peacecraft' in the return address..."
"Well?" She waited for a minute or so before getting impatient and asking again. Still getting no response, she got up and went back over to him-not bothering with the sheet //After all, it's not like he hasn't seen me naked before.//
Heero was shocked at Relena's sheer audacity. She was apparently inviting all the gundam pilots to a ball of some sort. After telling Eve.....
"You're not actually considering going...are you? It's obviously just an excuse for her to get you there--she's just trying to hide it by inviting all the pilots." She said disbelievingly.
"Well..." Eve didn't give him a chance to finish his sentence. He turned in his chair and tried to explain, but she had gone to the far side side of the bed and sat with her knees tucked up to her chin.
//She must really not like that idea// He thought, noting that she had dressed in a long T-shirt and underwear. He walked over and crawled across the bed, putting his hands on her shoulders and turning her so she faced him.
"Eve..." He said reprovingly, but she just 'hmphed' and turned her eyes and face away from him. Heero let out an exasperated sigh.
"I just think it would be a good opportunity to try and end things with her once and for all--to make her understand there's nothing between us." He said as he reached his arms around her and gathered her up into a protective embrace. She looked up at him with misty eyes.
"What if she didn't invite me?"
"Then I won't go." He said matter-of-factly, as if she should have known without him telling her.
"Promise?"
"Of course." She huddled as close to him as possible, closing her eyes. They sat that way for a few minutes, simply enjoying their closeness. Heero absent-mindedly stroking her hair with a free hand. She tilted her head up and kissed the base of his neck.
"So....when is it?"
"We'll have to leave early tommorow."
"oh." Sensing she was still apprehensive and tense, he cupped her chin in one hand and kissed her gently; feeling that nervousness leave her body as she returned it. She wrapped her arms around his neck, allowing him to use his hands. Tracing patterns along her spine, he moved his hands to her shoulders and pressed her backwards so she was resting on the pillow. Breaking the kiss, he sighed with mock-frustration.
"Now I'm going to have to undress you all over again.." He trailed off, undoing the buttons to the long blouse, kissing the area exposed by each as he worked his way down.
"Mmm..undress away...." She said dreamily, stretching her arms above her head so they were out of his way. She closed her eyes and lay her head back, sighing in contentment. She relaxed, getting lost in his soft ministrations. Reaching the end of the buttons, he worked his way back up to her lips--taking care of all the areas he might have missed. Running his tongue along her bottom lip as he kissed her again, she tilted her head and opened up to him obligingly; alternatingly exploring the other's recesses and savoring their unique taste. He ended the kiss, a small mumble of protest leaving her lips.
"We're going to have to leave early tommorow...remember?"
"Yeah...I guess so..." Eve agreed reluctantly, curling up next to him as moved to her side. He reached down and pulled the blankets up over them both, her heartbeat and rythmic breathing lulling him to sleep.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heero was tossing restlessly under the light sheets, plagued by memories of the obssesive and delusional young woman he would be facing the next day.

Relena looked at the teddy bear that had been left on her seat as Heero looked on, silently praying that she would read the note.
She removed the note from the bear's bow and ripped it up, obviously mistaking the letter for a confession of love rather than Heero's real explanation of how he had saved her life all those times because she was so vital to peace--it might not be attained without her and, achieving peace being his mission, he couldn't let her die; though if it wasn't for this alone he would have done himself a favor and let her die long ago.
'Next time tell it to me in person.'
That's what she said, and now he would have his chance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heero rolled over onto his side, arm flopping onto the pillow next to him. His features cresed in a frown as he groped around. Opening his eyes, he saw that Eve wasn't there. Sitting up and scratching he looked around. //The shower// He realized when he heard the hisses and splashes of the water hitting the shower walls and floor. //No sense in wasting water// He thought with a small, mischevious grin on his face as he headed for the bathroom. He opened the bathroom door and slipped in quietly. Sliding the door open as far a it would go in an instant, he stepped in quickly. Eve jumped a let out a small shriek as he surprised her, then relaxed when she it was Heero. He put his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"What are you doing in here?!?" She said, out of both anger and extreme curiosity.
"I'm taking a shower." He said plainly.
"Well, good for you." She said as she stepped past him and opened the sliding door to the shower. "'Cause I'm done."
"But--" Heero started, then shook his head and reached for the soap.
Eve was humming a song she had long since forgotten the words to as she rumaged through what clothes she carried with her, looking for something suitable to wear to Relena's 'gracious' invitation to her home in the Sanq Kingdom and packing everything else into a well-worn duffle bag. Grinning with satisfaction, she checked herself in the mirror.
//Hmm....// Fading black denim skirt, a pale blue sleeveless top, and black shoes. Looking out the window, she had decided she didn't need a jacket. She sat on the windowsill, enjoying the warmth that the early morning sun offered. Closing her eyes, she dozed. Heero had gotten out of the shower and had dressed-light blue jeans, green shirt, and brown shoes. He walked over to the cat-napping Eve and shook her gently.
"Time to go." She blinked a few times before meeting his gaze. //He has such fascinating eyes..//.
"Mm..already?"
"'fraid so, got everything packed?"
"Yeah, I took it down to the transport already."
"Now I've just gotta-" She put a finger to his lips and finished his sentence for him.
"Load Zero onto the transport --which I've done-- get your gun--I did that too-- and get your stuff --which you've got" She finished, grinning smugly. Heero smiled one of his rarely-seen-by-others genuine smiles.
"Have I become that predictable?"
"Nah, I've just hung around you too long." She laughed as she tossed him the keys and headed out the door.

SOOO.....Whatd'ya think??? As I'm sure you can guess, I abhorr the idea of Heero and Relena being together (I think they make a terrible couple for those of you don't know what abhorr means). Just so you know, I'm planning on Quatre and Trowa being ahem seen together later on for you yaoi fans out there (Plus I think they should be a couple on account of they look so cute together and get along so well). Think any other couples should make the scene?? Disagree with Quatre/Trowa??
PLEASE review and tell me. Remember, if I get enough good reviews and if you ask nicely, I'll write a prequel explaining how Heero and Eve get together.
Questions?? Comments?? Flames (which will be read by me, laughed at by me, and ruthlessly be deleted from my mailbox by me without a second thought by me....)??
All opinions welcome (and replied to if you leave your e-mail address) so don't be afraid to speak..well...type your mind!! no reviews=no continuation
