Author's Note: I just marathoned Gundam 00 and had to write something.... It's not much, but here is my first shorty in this fandom. Please enjoy and review.

When Lockon was roused from his post-coital sleep by cold toes pressing against the sides of his calves, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Of all the oh-so-human flaws his lover could have, cold toes were not what he would have expected.
Shifting slowly, knowing that the purple-haired man in bed with him was awake already, Lockon pressed a light kiss to the conveniently placed forehead.
"You're being affectionate… The agreement was mutual satisfaction of needs." Tieria voice was not as cold as usual, signaling that he wasn't as adverse to the gentle touch as he wished Lockon to think he was.
Lockon moved one arm from where it had been wedged under the pillow his head was on, to come up and tilt Tieria's face to him. Intelligent red eyes blinked slowly at him as a frown began to form. Not wanting to see any frown lines on his lover's face, Lockon kissed him softly on the mouth. When he pulled back Tieria slowly opened the eyes he had closer during the kiss.
"I'm being affectionate because it does satisfy one of my needs." Lockon told him softly with a slight smile.
With a frown of contemplation, Tieria seemed to deliberate the validity of his statement. After a short moment, he nodded. "I understand. Physical contact is necessary for mental well-being. After our sexual interludes, I will remain for a period of time appropriate to the given situation."
This made the red-haired half of the lover to chuckle before he used one of his feet to pull the hastily shoved aside bed-clothes. Once they were in reach, Lockon rose and scooted down the bed.
Tieria watched him closely as he picked out a pair of socks from the chest at the end of the bed. Lifting one of the feet possessing the cold toes, Lockon rubbed them to bring some warmth into them before slipping the heavy socks over them.
Unable to hold back a yawn, Lockon grabbed the bed-clothes and gently tucked Tieria and himself in. "Physical contact is good… Don't worry about going to sleep here; Haro will wake us up in time for the morning briefing."
"Understood… Sleep well. Our mission tomorrow relies on you being in top form." Tieria said as he settled back down on Lockon's chest. The soft thumping of the heart under his ear lulled him to sleep.
As he was dropping off to sleep, Lockon felt the now sock clad toes repositioned back onto his legs, causing him to smile.
A.N.: I was thinking about writing a companion piece, what do you think?
