Heero x Relena : Heat
The city where the conference was taking place was lovely during the spring and fall.
During the summer on the other hand, it was rather like Satan's armpit.
Central air having given up the battle long ago, Relena was left with no choice but to discard some of her carefully chosen outfit.
Which of course to her meant removing just the ribbon around her neck and opening a couple of the buttons at her collar. Anything else would be far too relaxed in a business environment.
Regardless of all that, she still wished she was on the Colonies with their wonderful controlled weather, as she fanned herself with a handful of notes.
Pouring herself another glass of ice water, Relena indulged just a little by sneaking one of the cubes out of the glass and running it across her neck and collarbone.
As the last of the ice melted on her fingers, she heard a soft sound behind her and spinning the chair around caught an always welcome sight coming in the French windows.
Heero was just closing the window behind him as Relena got up from her seat, a tired but happy smile on her lips as she drew closer to him.
A smile that dropped off her face when she caught what he was dressed in.
"Heero! How are you not roasting?!"
Confused, Heero looked down at his usual attire of blue jeans, long sleeve dress shirt and denim jacket before shrugging, saying."I'm fine."
Laughing softly, Relena stood up and walked over to him, sliding her hands beneath his jacket to rest on his chest.
"Heero, you're hot to the touch! Take off that jacket at least, and have some ice water."
Heero, in response, grasped the bottom of her suit jacket, stating: "You're one to talk."
Sliding said jacket off her shoulders, Relena held it out to him on the tip of her finger, a taunting smile on her lips as she said."Your turn."
His eyes softening, Heero shrugged off his own jacket and tossing both of them on the love seat went to work on the cuffs of her blouse.
"What are you doing?"
"Cooling you off."
As his rough hands played upon her skin, Relena didn't have the nerve to tell him that the last thing he was doing was cooling her off.
Instead, she took the brief moment to study him, drinking in his presence and strength as she always did no matter how often they were together nowadays.
Of course once he was done, she tossed him a saucy smile and began to roll up his sleeves.
After all, if they were playing a game of 'tit for tat' she wasn't about to loose.
Keeping her head bowed even as her neck rippled in gooseflesh from the mere touch of his gaze, Relena slowly curled the fabric in her fingers, caressing his scarred skin as she did so.
Finally upon finishing she made to take a step back. His now freed arms refused her and instead drew her back up against him as their lips met in a kiss that put the sun to shame.
Relena probably would have happily melted away right there if a sudden chill of cold hadn't run down her back.
Leaping away from him, she yanked the back of her shirt out of her pants and glared down at the little sliver of ice that innocently melted away on the carpet.
The cutting look she gave him spoke volumes. Heero merely tilted his head to the side, rakish humor glowing in the depths of his eyes as he said blandly. "I didn't want you getting too hot."
Biting her lip to keep from smiling at this rarely seen playful side, Relena leaned back against her desk one hand stealthily making its way to her nearly full glass of water.
"I am concerned about you as well, Heero."
The ensuing water battle left both participants; wet, hot and breathless.
Though Relena was pretty sure the last part was due to the various surrenders that happened.
Each one after all was sealed with a kiss.
