Gift


Wufei Chang, former Gundam pilot, Preventer and her lover. Relena's eyes narrowed as she stared at the framed picture of his she kept on her desk.

It was his birthday. Today. As in right now. Now!

She as of 13 hundred hours, hadn't gotten a gift yet. Sneaking out of their apartment meant waking up at three a.m. He probably knew she had left, she mused, being who he was.

Relena couldn't face him, when he knew she hadn't gotten a gift.

Birthdays only came once a year, and she wanted something special. It was getting late. What could she get him? Her fingers tapped nervously against her desk.

Maybe he always wanted a castle in Scotland, she thought. Or a pony. She had always wanted a pony. Perhaps, what he really wanted was one of those stripper in a cake... Relena froze and shook her head. That certainly wasn't going to happen.

"Uh... Miss Relena? Mr Chang is here to see you."

Ducking under her desk, Relena shook her head. "I - er, I am not here!"

"Strange. I could have sworn you were here."

She felt an icy chill creep up her spine. He was here! She didn't have present!

"Relena?" His face peered down at her. Relena smiled and waved at him. "What are you doing down there?"

He was wearing his hair loose today. She liked that.

"Um... you know, practicing my er... skills."

Raising a brow, Wufei shook his head, "Does this have anything to do with my birthday?"

Closing her eyes, Relena nodded, not wanting to see his face, his disappointment.

"Silly, you're the best birthday present I could want."

Leaping up, Relena felt a big grin cross her face, "Really? Ow! Ow ow ow." She had forgot that she was sitting under her desk.

Kneeling down beside her, Wufei grabbed one hand and kissed her knuckle. "Want to get lunch?"

A smile formed on her face, "Sure," she whispered softly, her hand resting on his. "I'd love to." She leaned in and placed a kiss on his lips.
