Disclaimer: Another one!?! I hate disclaimers but at the moment I really don't have
any excess money...so here goes: I do NOT own Gundam Wing, or Noin, or
Millardo/Zechs (though I sure would like too) because as you just read I'm poor!
Gundam Wing belongs to Bandai and Sunrise...Lucky people.
A/N: Okay, I got a review that said that I should write more Zechs and Noin
fics so here goes:
~*~ Confessions ~*~
~*~
Zechs glanced around him at the deserted street. It was two o'clock in the
morning and here he was strolling around the Sank Kingdom. Gods, what was wrong
with him? He sighed and shook his head slightly. He knew the answer to that
question all to well. It was her: Lucrezia Noin. In a few more hours they would need
to be at the shuttle port for their shuttle to Mars.
He was surprised that she was coming with him. After all the things he had
done to the world, to her, she still stuck by him. He knew he loved her. Hell, he even knew that she had feelings for him. How far those feelings went, that was the
mystery. He shook his head and looked up at the sky.
Stars twinkled in a pattern that only they knew and the moon radiated a pale
silver glow. A wind came barrelling in from the north blowing his platinum hair into
his eyes and he shivered slightly. He had never been good with cold and here he was in the middle of the Sank Kingdom at two o'clock in the morning!
Zechs groaned as he turned and headed back the way he had come to the
Peacecraft Mansion. In a way he regretted turning down Noin's offer of staying at
her place, but, as he'd pointed out, they'd be spending a couple of months together and the last thing they needed to do was tire of each other's company. She had looked uncertain at his answer for a second before smiling and saying he was right. He hoped he was.
He groaned as he neared the mansion and scaled one of the walls up to his
room. Mentally telling himself to enforce security, before climbing through a window
and into bed. He was finally tired. He glanced at the clock and groaned.
Congratulations Millardo Peacecraft, you're now going to get two hours of sleep at
the most, he thought, turning away from the glowing numbers that signified that it
was now presently three in the morning.
Zechs smiled slightly as he walked into the shuttle port and saw Noin
standing by their shuttle with a cup of coffee in her hands. "Hey," he murmured as he walked up next to her.
She turned slightly and smiled at him. "Hey," she replied.
"That smells good," he said, nodding his head to indicate the half-empty cup
in her hands. "Can I have a sip?" he asked.
"Sure, you can have the rest," she answered and then smirked, adding, "after
all, I bought it for you."
"So what happened to the rest of it?" he teased as he took a sip.
"I got thirsty and I realized that it's too much for you to drink." He groaned
and she smiled at him. "So ready to go?" she asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be."
"Remember, this was your idea," she told him sternly, though her eyes were
laughing.
"Which reminds me, are you sure you want to come with me? It'll be -" he was
cut off by her look.
"Come on, it's time to board," she called over her shoulder as she headed
towards the shuttle. He shook his head slightly and followed her up.
Bored...Bored...Bored...Space was beautiful but at the moment Zechs couldn't
focus. He sighed and leaned back in his chair and gazed out a window. An endless
black velvet with silk stars picture met his gaze. On the other hand Noin seemed to
be enjoying herself, then again she'd always loved space, he told himself. He sighed
and shook his head. They had been in the shuttle for twelve hours all ready and he
was getting tired of the landscape.
"Bored?" she asked, not even looking at him.
"I suppose. How can you just sit there and watch?" he asked.
"Because everything is so beautiful up here. Most of it hasn't been touched by
the human hand and everything is always changing, even if it doesn't look like it at
times," she murmured. "But, let's play a game of chess," she added.
He groaned. "That's as bad as space."
"Don't insult space, it didn't do anything to you," she chided. He smiled as
she pulled out the chess board and began setting it up. "Anyway, you know you just
don't like playing because I usually win," she added.
It was true, that was one of the reasons why he didn't usually wish to play
with her. However, he would never admit that to her. He shook his head slightly as
he moved his pawn forward.
However, a couple of hours later they were still playing that dratted chess
game. She was scowling slightly at the board and he smiled. Well, at least until she looked up at him. "Why didn't you come back sooner?" she asked quietly. Zechs looked at her, the smile fading from his face. Trust Noin to bring it up during the middle of a chess game.
"I..." he trailed off. After all, what was he supposed to say. "I don't know
why I didn't and did come back?" No. He wouldn't even say something like that to
her.
She looked away briefly out the window though the scenery hadn't changed during their flight.
"Is it because of me?" she asked softly.
He stared at her. What was she talking about? he wondered.
"Is it because you didn't want to see me?" she asked again.
"Yes," he answered after a moment. She looked away but not before he could
catch the shimmer of a tear in her eyes. Without thinking he got up and went to her,
pulling her to her feet and holding her against him. "I didn't want you to see me as I
was after Libra exploded. For three months I was unconscious. From June until
September I under went therapy and medication and anything else they could do to
me. For the next three months I was working up my courage to face you again." He
paused and looked down at the raven-haired woman he was holding.
"Yeah, that's the reason," she snorted. He could feel his shirt slightly wet
from the tears she was trying to conceal. "Listen, I'm going to go to my room and..."
she trailed off as he tilted his face up so that she was looking at him.
"Lucrezia...I love you and no matter what or how, I'll always find my way back
to you," he murmured. She closed her eyes as he bent down and kissed her gently.
"Zechs..." she murmured as his lips trailed up to her ear, tasting some of the
salty traces of her tears.
"I love you," he murmured again into her ear.
She shivered and opened her eyes, wrapping her arms around his neck, she
guided him back to her lips. Before they kissed though, she whispered softly: "I love
you Zechs. I always have and I always will." He claimed her lips again in a more
passionate kiss.
"Still want to go to your room?" he asked her as they broke for air.
She smiled and blushed slightly at his smile. "Only if you come with me," she
warned.
He nodded. "Sounds good," he murmured and picked her up, walking towards
her room. She smiled and rested her head against his chest listening to his beating,
working heart.
Zechs awoke slightly to the feel of someone else against him. He glanced at
the clock. 2:00 a.m. flashed over and over on the screen and he groaned and looked to his left and down slightly. Noin lay in his arms in a tangle of blankets and sheets.
Her bare shoulders were exposed to the chilled night air and he reached down and
pulled the covers up around her; tucking her in securely against him, yet careful not to wake her. He smiled, it was nice to be up at two in the morning and be able to fall
asleep and not have to prowl around the Sank Kingdom for hours on end.
He shifted slightly, pulling her closer and closed his eyes. He heard her mumur his name in her sleep and smiled. Everything was perfect at the moment. Everything was going his way and he prayed to whatever God man-kind hadn't destroyed that she would stay with him forever.
Who knows, maybe that ring he'd bought a year ago on impulse would be put
to use?

A/N: Yeah, I know, a little long and the title didn't fit. Well what do you think of it anyway? I hope I haven't stolen and/or copied someone's work out there all ready. If I did, let me know so I can take this off. Well, tell me what you think. Sequel...yes, no, maybe? Frankly I don't think it deserves it but that's my opinion. Well, comments are welcome so hurry up and review!
