Chapter 1
Relena tiredly slid through the door of her townhouse leaning against it her eyes closed she sighed savoring the first peace and quiet of the day. The quick click of heels had her straightening as Agnes her housekeeper came into the foyer. "Ahh Miss Relena I didn't know you would be home this early."
Relena smiled tiredly, "its eight o clock Agnes."
She frowned, "aye I'm aware of that for you tis early." Her lips curved ruefully as her housekeeper began gearing up for the familiar scolding. Hoping to stall it she quickly passed her the briefcase and jacket and interrupted the muttering about lack of proper rest and diet. "Is Mr. Yuy here yet Agnes?" Pausing with her mouth open she eyed Relena knowingly she wasn't fooling her a bit.
"Aye he's around here somewhere." Her Scottish accent thickened with irritation. Another one that doesn't eat enough to keep a bird alive." Agnes shrugged stalking off. "Don't ask me where though I swear the lad is part cat I can't keep up with him. Dinner is in an hour, you don't want me to come looking for you theres nothing worse than a cold brisket. You'll be at the table or tis the rubbish heap with it."
Relena shook her head amused maybe I shouldn't have let Noin abscond with Pagan. Slowly she climbed the stairs trailing her hand along the smooth surface of the baluster she paused a soft glow came from the study, concentrating she could hear the steady clicking of the keys of the computer. She shook her head she wouldn't get him away anytime soon so she might as well get comfortable. Moving the opposite direction she toed the door to her bedroom open then closed it unbuttoning her jacket she slid it off along with her shoes. Sighing in pleasure she wiggled her feet before padding across to her vanity and sitting. She released her hair from the simple upsweep and picked up the brush. Closing her eyes she let the familiar rhythm relax her enough that when moist lips touched her cheek and slowly moved down her neck she simply tilted her neck to give him better access. "I wondered when you would pull yourself away from that laptop."
"Hmm." She put the brush down and forced her eyes open she met his within the mirrored surface. Swinging around on the stool she forced him to step back as she stood. Relena smiled teasingly as her hands slid behind her releasing her skirt and letting it fall. "How was your day?"
He smirked as his eyes drifted purposely down her body then his face briefly disappeared as he pulled his shirt over his head. Relena slowly moved forward she unbuttoned her shirt with each step it parted revealing more and more skin. She tilted her head smiling enigmatically as she rolled her shoulders letting the shirt flutter to the carpet brushing against him with her half clothed body she continued talking in a conversational tone.
"That good hmm? You know Heero I had the hardest time." She trailed her hand down from his cheek to across his chest then around his back before drapping her arm around his neck and pulling herself against his body. "Concentrating today," she finished in a whisper.
He cupped her face stroking his thumb back and forth against her cheekbone. "Are you still having that problem?" A loving smile curved her lips. "No you have my undivided attention." Heero moved suddenly lifting her in his arms. "Then I'll have to make sure I keep it that way."
Heero whispered her name just before his lips covered her own and he followed her down onto the bed covering her completely from chest to groin. His mouth took hers with an aggressiveness that she craved as much as she did his love. She gave in willing to his strength, surrendering in his arms to the passion that washed through her, leaving her both restless and weak as she writhed sensuously beneath his body. She wanted to devour him. His mouth was hot and wet, relentless, as he seemed to be intent on reminding her of every moment they spent apart as he controlled the pace of their passion.
Sighing her hands slid downward from his shoulders to his back, slipping from there to his ribs, waist and hips, before she raked her nails hungrily across his buttocks. She whimpered a protest as his hands caught hers and tugged them up over her head, holding her fast. His aroused body moved wantonly upon hers and she clenched and unclenched her fists helplessly, grasping at the bits of bed linen within reach. She whimpered his hungry mouth muffling the sound as she pulled her legs high about his torso to wrap them about his waist, holding him close to the aching center of her body she whispered against his lips. "Heero please just a touch.. or a taste."
"Next time you make me too hot.. I come to fast," he murmured hoarsely against her lips.
Then we'll do it again, and a again until we do it as slow as you want it. She tightened her legs around him and slowly rolled her damp crotch against his clothed erection. Heero switched hands caging both of hers within one of his while the other slid down her throat, and on to her breasts. He brushed them gently at first, letting his thumb softly circle her nipples. The shallow little pants were increasing in intensity as she tossed her head restlessly back and forth, caressing her breast once more he moved on. Sliding his hand down her ribs and stomach, his fingers splayed slipping it into the silken material of her panties.
"Mmm you're so wet." He tugged them off then slid his hand back up her leg and into the honey colored curls of her pubic, down to the cleft between her thighs. His fingers dipped into the cleft, testing her readiness for him scraping a nail gently across her nub a strained smile flickered across his face as she arched upward. "O god Heero that's so good I need more. Please."
Heero eased a finger in stroking her briefly before pulling out again. "No," her eyes snapped open in protest. "Heero don't stop." Jerking on her hands trying to free them she pleaded. "Heero."
"I'm not stopping just making sure I have your attention." He said holding her gaze with a dark and heated promise then he slid within her creamy softness. Relena moaned eye lashes fluttered then closed. "Uh uh Relena watch." He commanded.
With a shivery sigh her eyes fluttered open and met his own she watched him remove fingers slick with the evidence of her desire and lazily lick his fingers before sticking them within his mouth to suck on.
Relena inhaled shakily, and then shifted her legs restlessly brushing them against his jean-clad legs. Her breath stuttered and stopped. "O god you're killing me." When his hand shifted downward again his fingers dipped back between her thighs. His fingers gently stroking her once more coating them again with the silky substance before lifting them to softly coat her nipples over and over he alternated between one and the other. "Heero.." She arched toward him.
"You want me to stop?" He chided. "No." Seemingly satisfied he lowered his head flicking her nipple with his tongue then urged her higher with his lips and teeth and tongue, groaning he shifted stiffly trying give some temporary relief to his own unfulfilled need. She moaned, biting her lip to muffle the sound. Heero drew back studying her body with a smug look it was time divesting himself of the rest of his clothes he moved up her body pressing against her Relena purred at soft satin feel of skin on skin. He cupped the sides of her face then covered her lips in a hungry kiss. She whimpered tasting herself on his lips was strangely erotic leaning back he met her gaze.
"Do you want me koi?" He whispered longingly.
"Always.. I will always want you.. need you," she promised raggedly. For a split second the world spun dizzily and she found herself straddling him. "Heero?"
"Go on, do it ride me I want to watch your face when you come." Sliding her hands across his chest she lightly teased his nipples watching them harden with each passing. Leaning forward she brushed her lips against his, soft tantalizing their tongues mingled and caressed her eyes never left his as she pulled back and slowly started inching him into her body. Once he was within a hoarse hiss slid through tightly clenched teeth.
Relena eyes fluttered almost closing as she savored the feeling of completeness. Her eyes opened when she felt Heero's arm lift his thumb stroking her cheek in gentle reminder. "Eyes open Relena I want to be the first thing and the last thing you see." Relena smiled.
Rocking her hips, clenching and unclenching her muscles she ground herself against his groin, taking his hands she lifted them to her neck slowly sliding them down her throat and her chest. Guiding his hands over her breasts she had him cup them pushing them up and together she leaned forward. He met her half way as she made them an offering for his consumption changing her rhythm to slow shallow thrusts they watched each others frank enjoyment in the others body with a hungry intensity.
Watching him lick, suck, and nip at her nipples was the final straw to her already overloaded system moving her hands to his shoulder her excitement increased her movements faster and faster she knew it would be anytime now and she was determined he come with her. Clenching her muscles as much as she could on the outstroke pressing into him tightly while her hands glided over as much of his body as she could reach, she scraped her nails in reflex across warm slippery flesh as she struggled to hang on. Relena watched his face tighten and whimpered. "Come for me Relena," he said hoarsely.
Shaking her head she panted. "Together."
"Together it is then" slipping his hand between their bodies he gently pinched the swollen nub. She stiffened her movements faltering she sucked in a much-needed breath then held it as every nerve ending in her body throbbed and pulsed. Distantly she felt Heero's hands tighten to a punishing grip on her waist as held her body while it convulsed around him in what seemed like a unending orgasm. "Beautiful," he sighed.
He watched her poised above him back arched in ecstasy a dream come to life as she clenched around his organ the hunger, amazement. The lust blind eyes that stared into his with a look of wonder he always felt he would never be on the receiving end of. "Now," he rasped.
Sitting up he wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her in tight increasing his rhythm to the extent that he was slamming into her. He rocked forward his movements smoothly coordinated and older than time as he thrust into her one final time and stiffened. Heero cupped her neck with the other hand and pulled her face close enough to his to share the same quivering breath as his orgasm began. In awe she watched as his eyes widened helplessly, his movements became more frantic and jerky as he became a creature of pure sensation riding out the spasms until they slowed then gradually ceased.
Relena smiled at the softness in his face, the drowsy contentment in his eyes as he solemnly stared into hers brushing his bangs back she trailed kisses across his eyes. Her lips moved whisper soft across his forehead, his cheeks finally his mouth showing him her love in only way he wasn't frightened of. Relena pulled his face in the crook of her neck and shoulder so he couldn't see her silently mouth I love you. Heero leaned back pulling her with him and tucking her against his shoulder.
"We really should go eat before Agnes throws it in the garbage. Are you hungry?" She felt him gently running his fingers through her hair, before moving on to trace the curve of her ear then softly toy with her earring. "Not anymore," he murmured. "I have everything I want."
The dinner hour came and went. Agnes stood looking at the table with her hands on her hips shaking her head she stomped up the stairs pausing outside the mistress room she she lifted her hand to knock only to hesitate at the sound of muted cries and breathy moans. Smiling wryly she headed back downstairs to place the food in the warmer.
Smoothing a stray strand of hair back into her chignon she moved silently toward the bed. Standing there in the half- light an intense wave of love rose it was becoming harder to suppress than before and becoming increasingly more unwilling to be denied. A wistful smile ghosted across her face as Relena leaned down making a motion to smooth those rebellious strands of hair back from his face when her hand was grasped before she reached him.
Eyes of the darkest blue and just as piercing locked in on her face more alert in seconds than she was after being up several hours. "I have to go," she murmured. His grip softened and he allowed her to softly brush his cheek. Catching a flash of light she brushed his hair away from his ear. Blinking she lifted her hand to finger her bare one.
"Heero?" Puzzled she searched his face trying to understand. "When?" His eyebrow lifted questioningly when she said nothing more.
She smiled and shook her head continuing to stroke his cheek. "Why, why did you do it?" His eyes narrowed cautiously. Relena felt her smile turn wry that was her Heero she leaned down and nibbled against his lips playfully resisting his efforts to deepen the kiss.
"Never mind why it looks sexy on you," she said teasingly. I'll miss you my Heero." She pulled back enough to stare into eyes turned hazy with passion. "Did it hurt?" Heero blinked at the sudden deviation.
"Did yours hurt."
For a moment she wondered if they were talking about something else but if they were she couldn't figure it out so she answered him seriously. "No I wanted it so bad I barely felt it." An odd look entered his eyes.
"I wanted something of yours to carry with me." He watched her curiously to see what she would say or do next. Relena leaned down and covered his mouth with hers, there was a wet sucking sound as their lips parted. "You don't need a piece of jewelry to carry me with you but it's yours now with my blessing."
Eyes shuttered he nodded. She sighed mentally, running again ehh Heero?
Relena straightened heading for the door, pausing she stopped this was ridiculous she had never stifled how she felt or what she thought for anyone enough already. Maybe it was a mistake but at the rate they were tiptoeing around she'd be a senior citizen before she knew where he stood. She had been taking chances since she was fifteen why was it easier with one's life than heart? Time to stop hiding.
He watched her suddenly turn and move purposely back across the room bending down Relena slid her tongue across his lower lip, nipping it she waited until his mouth opened before she slid her hands in his hair fisting it so he couldn't move. She tilted her head covering his mouth with her own she quickly found their tongues dueling for dominance as she tried to find an angle to get deeper access to absorb him into her system. Their breathing grew labored and louder as their kisses became more frenzied his lips found her mouth again, and again, his tongue tasting the sweetness of hers.
Relena reluctantly pulled back resting her forehead against his her eyes holding his with a solemn promise. "You don't need it Heero because you've always had my heart that's what's important . I love you." Not waiting for his response or his reaction she slipped away. Relena didn't get very far because his hand snagged hers pulling her effortlessly back down to him. He cupped her face his gaze probing.
"Relena can you see it?" His eyes searched hers urgently. "Tell me. It's all right if you can't nothing has to change."
She smiled tremulously just a little disappointed he still couldn't just say it she saw the pain, need, the little boy who stared out at her from the adults body still not quite ready to trust but so desperate for that unconditional love. He needed her once again to be the bridge between his insecurities and her love. "It's all right Heero I see it." She rubbed her lips gently back and forth against his her breath lightly teasing his face. "I'll be here when you're ready to say it."
Sipping her tea she flipped another page over as she lost herself in the diplomatic babble that was wasting enormous amounts of paper on saying allot of nothing. Quietly the door opened and closed and near silently tread crossed the carpet the man stood there watching the emotions flicker across her face in quiet amusement before gently placing his hands on her shoulders and start kneading. Startled her head snapped up and she met smiling violet eyes and a broad grin. "How's it going gorgeous?"
"Duo you nut you scared me." His eyebrow quirked skeptically, "I doubt that. Don't let Heero catch you sitting with your back to the door." Reaching up she gave his braid a sharp tug.
"Hey gently angel I'm sensitive."
"Umm hmm," she stared at him sternly.
"Sheesh you've been around spandex boy to much." She laughed. "You better not let him catch you calling him that."
"Ready for lunch?" She blinked at the sudden switch in topics. "Lunch?" Biting the inside of her cheek to smother a smile she stood picking up her papers she crossed the room sliding them within the safe after she secured it she felt confident enough that her look was completely innocent. Turning she leaned back against the bookshelves and eyed him quizzically. "Did we make plans that I've forgotten?" He stared at her suspiciously.
"You mean you don't know?"
Inside she giggled gotcha. "Know what?"
"O man your kidding me right? You forgot?" Careful now too uninterested and he'll suspect. "Duo?" Straightening up she moved quickly across the room. "What is it? Is something wrong?" His face fell swinging around his shoulders slumped looking all the world like a disappointed little boy. Placing her hand on his back she stroked gently downward before taking his braid in her hand.
"Duo?" She walked around in front of him gently brushing the end back and forth against her cheek it was silky smooth it surprised her a little at how soft it was. Relena tilted her head thoughtfully time to be getting back to the issue at hand good thing she was a softie. "Duo come on tell me what's wrong?"
He stared at her mournfully "I just thought maybe you." He waved his hands trying to explain without looking like a fool. "Nothing," he exhaled noisily.
Pushing his bangs up and out of his face she leaned in peering upward. "You thought I forgot your birthday," she finished for him. Smiling at him humorously. Unable to help it she giggled, swishing the end of his braid across his cheek teasingly she let it fall. Stepping over to her desk she pulled it open, setting a box and an envelope on the desk in front of him. "You can open them now or while we're having lunch its your birthday you choose."
He whooped, "now!"
She laughed, "somehow I thought that's what you would say."
Ripping open the envelope he opened the card two pieces of clear plastic slipped to the ground. "Easy Duo you know how hard it was to get those."
"Hey alright Madelynn Hanson."
"Hmm mmm and there's an extra there in case you manage to talk Hilde into going," she teased. He shrugged, "if she doesn't I'll take you." She shook her head. "No way no mosh pitts for me."
"Come on princess live dangerously."
"I do, I am.."
"Ha."
"Now what's that suppose to mean?" He stared at her intently a moment before a teasing grin appeared. "It means if you went it would be the last soiree you would want to attend."
"Maybe," she grinned. Picking up the small box she waved it back and forth. "One more birthday boy." He smiled opening it up she watched his face anxiously he had such an arrested expression on his face she couldn't tell if he was pleased or not.
"Duo?" She bit her lip. "Do you like it?"
Silently he took it from the box and lifted it up he stared as if mesmerized. For some reason she found herself ridiculously nervous she started babbling. "I remembered Hilde saying you had a cross but you don't wear it for fear of loosing it so I thought I would get you one you could wear. I mean I know it's not the same but." Relena drew a breath and blew it out and up. " Duo was I wrong? We can go and exchange it of you want."
Shaking his head he pulled her into a hug "I love it. It's perfect," he said huskily. She pulled away enough to see his face. "You sure?" He nodded, "help me? He held it up.
She smiled relieved. "Ok sit somewhere." Looking around thoughtfully she gestured. "There the edge of the desk is fine or I'll never reach you."
Stepping between his legs, she took the necklace standing on her tiptoes she gently draped it around his neck sliding the clasp around where she could see it she leaned in. Duo lifted his hands to her waist and steadied her subtly drawing her closer he dipped his head and inhaled closing his eyes he savored the delicate scent of wildflowers in her hair and the illusive fragrance that seemed to be a permanent part of her skin and clothes. "There." Regretfully he let her pull back and arrange his necklace studying it critically a moment she nodded. "It's you."
Smiling lazily he lifted her chin with his knuckle he kept his movements slow and deliberate giving her the chance to stop him if she wanted. Duo searched her eyes a moment longer looking for something she couldn't quite interpret. Then déjà vu hit her for a split second time warped back to the hallway outside Hilde's hospital room her compassionate nature had once more led her into the deep end leaving her feeling like Alice in the looking glass.
Nervously she shifted under his watchful gaze her mind all to easily supplying a collage of memories that she had almost convinced herself was imagined. She had heard Duo's friend had been injured and stopped in to visit before heading to earth. What she found was Duo's rage and bewilderment but more importantly his need to be reassured or so she had convinced herself.
Relena tried to offer reassurance. Still long afterwards her mind lingered over how he had pulled her close holding her like he never intended to let go, his body hardening from the close proximity of hers. Finally the hungry, urgent way his mouth claimed hers and the very moment she had started to respond she panicked. Pulling away Relena stared at the longing and needy pleading in his eyes as she slowly backed away before nerve broke and she whirled and ran. At the time she never knew if it was him she ran from or herself.
"Hey where are you?" He brushed a fingertip down her cheek. Relena blinked owlishly returning to the present and those same hungry eyes which were staring at her mouth like a cannibal stranded on an island with vegetarians.. Uhh oo.. His eyes dropped to her mouth lingering nervously clearing her throat she said the first thing that came to mind.
"Are you hungry?"
His smile held tender amusement, before deliberately leaning closer brushing her lips softly her eyes widened then fluttered and closed her breath hitched then a shaky sigh, delicate and soft, trembled on her lips. "Duo.." Her voice trailed off weakly.
"Shhh." He rubbed his thumb back and forth across her bottom lip. "It's just me." She forced her eyes open and stared at him uncertainly.
"Duo what are you doing?" He trailed the back of his knuckles against her cheek then reversed his path his palm cupped her face while his thumb started absently stroking the edge of her eyebrow. "Mm what does it feel like I'm doing?"
Puzzled she searched his face. "But why?"
He shrugged, "I had to," he replied cryptically. "Heero." She began her voice was a throaty, uncertain whisper.
"I know." An odd light appeared in his eyes before he lowered his lids hiding his expression. Putting on a deliberately pouty face. "Does than mean you don't love me?" Startled she laughed in spite of the tension.
"You're a menace I suppose if I think about it long enough I could come up with a few reasons why you're so loveable."
"Good." Standing up he draped his arm around her shoulders and hugged. "You can tell me each and every one while you take me to lunch along with why you only have one earring.."
Relena blinked a delicate bush stained her cheeks as she absently fingered her ear. "Good grief, I forgot all about that."
Duo smirked, "hmm mm I think there's more to it but have it your way. Hello earth to Lena come on I'm starving here."
"Ok, ok." Leaning over the desk she grabbed her purse from the drawer before hurrying across the room she stopped suddenly. "You really do like your presents?"
"I'll treasure them always even my first kiss by a princess." Smiling silently she shook her head at his antics and let him guide her out the door.

Watching him lick, suck, and nip at her nipples was the final straw to her already overloaded system moving her hands to his shoulder her excitement increased her movements faster and faster she knew it would be anytime now and she was determined he come with her. Clenching her muscles as much as she could on the outstroke pressing into him tightly while her hands glided over as much of his body as she could reach, she scraped her nails in reflex across warm slippery flesh as she struggled to hang on. Relena watched his face tighten and whimpered. "Come for me Relena," he said hoarsely.
Shaking her head she panted. "Together."
"Together it is then" slipping his hand between their bodies he gently pinched the swollen nub. She stiffened her movements faltering she sucked in a much-needed breath then held it as every nerve ending in her body throbbed and pulsed. Distantly she felt Heero's hands tighten to a punishing grip on her waist as held her body while it convulsed around him in what seemed like a unending orgasm. "Beautiful," he sighed.
He watched her poised above him back arched in ecstasy a dream come to life as she clenched around his organ the hunger, amazement. The lust blind eyes that stared into his with a look of wonder he always felt he would never be on the receiving end of. "Now," he rasped.
Sitting up he wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her in tight increasing his rhythm to the extent that he was slamming into her. He rocked forward his movements smoothly coordinated and older than time as he thrust into her one final time and stiffened. Heero cupped her neck with the other hand and pulled her face close enough to his to share the same quivering breath as his orgasm began. In awe she watched as his eyes widened helplessly, his movements became more frantic and jerky as he became a creature of pure sensation riding out the spasms until they slowed then gradually ceased.
Relena smiled at the softness in his face, the drowsy contentment in his eyes as he solemnly stared into hers brushing his bangs back she trailed kisses across his eyes. Her lips moved whisper soft across his forehead, his cheeks finally his mouth showing him her love in only way he wasn't frightened of. Relena pulled his face in the crook of her neck and shoulder so he couldn't see her silently mouth I love you. Heero leaned back pulling her with him and tucking her against his shoulder.
"We really should go eat before Agnes throws it in the garbage. Are you hungry?" She felt him gently running his fingers through her hair, before moving on to trace the curve of her ear then softly toy with her earring. "Not anymore," he murmured. "I have everything I want."
The dinner hour came and went. Agnes stood looking at the table with her hands on her hips shaking her head she stomped up the stairs pausing outside the mistress room she she lifted her hand to knock only to hesitate at the sound of muted cries and breathy moans. Smiling wryly she headed back downstairs to place the food in the warmer.
Smoothing a stray strand of hair back into her chignon she moved silently toward the bed. Standing there in the half- light an intense wave of love rose it was becoming harder to suppress than before and becoming increasingly more unwilling to be denied. A wistful smile ghosted across her face as Relena leaned down making a motion to smooth those rebellious strands of hair back from his face when her hand was grasped before she reached him.
Eyes of the darkest blue and just as piercing locked in on her face more alert in seconds than she was after being up several hours. "I have to go," she murmured. His grip softened and he allowed her to softly brush his cheek. Catching a flash of light she brushed his hair away from his ear. Blinking she lifted her hand to finger her bare one.
"Heero?" Puzzled she searched his face trying to understand. "When?" His eyebrow lifted questioningly when she said nothing more.
She smiled and shook her head continuing to stroke his cheek. "Why, why did you do it?" His eyes narrowed cautiously. Relena felt her smile turn wry that was her Heero she leaned down and nibbled against his lips playfully resisting his efforts to deepen the kiss.
"Never mind why it looks sexy on you," she said teasingly. I'll miss you my Heero." She pulled back enough to stare into eyes turned hazy with passion. "Did it hurt?" Heero blinked at the sudden deviation.
"Did yours hurt."
For a moment she wondered if they were talking about something else but if they were she couldn't figure it out so she answered him seriously. "No I wanted it so bad I barely felt it." An odd look entered his eyes.
"I wanted something of yours to carry with me." He watched her curiously to see what she would say or do next. Relena leaned down and covered his mouth with hers, there was a wet sucking sound as their lips parted. "You don't need a piece of jewelry to carry me with you but it's yours now with my blessing."
Eyes shuttered he nodded. She sighed mentally, running again ehh Heero?
Relena straightened heading for the door, pausing she stopped this was ridiculous she had never stifled how she felt or what she thought for anyone enough already. Maybe it was a mistake but at the rate they were tiptoeing around she'd be a senior citizen before she knew where he stood. She had been taking chances since she was fifteen why was it easier with one's life than heart? Time to stop hiding.
He watched her suddenly turn and move purposely back across the room bending down Relena slid her tongue across his lower lip, nipping it she waited until his mouth opened before she slid her hands in his hair fisting it so he couldn't move. She tilted her head covering his mouth with her own she quickly found their tongues dueling for dominance as she tried to find an angle to get deeper access to absorb him into her system. Their breathing grew labored and louder as their kisses became more frenzied his lips found her mouth again, and again, his tongue tasting the sweetness of hers.
Relena reluctantly pulled back resting her forehead against his her eyes holding his with a solemn promise. "You don't need it Heero because you've always had my heart that's what's important . I love you." Not waiting for his response or his reaction she slipped away. Relena didn't get very far because his hand snagged hers pulling her effortlessly back down to him. He cupped her face his gaze probing.
"Relena can you see it?" His eyes searched hers urgently. "Tell me. It's all right if you can't nothing has to change."
She smiled tremulously just a little disappointed he still couldn't just say it she saw the pain, need, the little boy who stared out at her from the adults body still not quite ready to trust but so desperate for that unconditional love. He needed her once again to be the bridge between his insecurities and her love. "It's all right Heero I see it." She rubbed her lips gently back and forth against his her breath lightly teasing his face. "I'll be here when you're ready to say it."
Sipping her tea she flipped another page over as she lost herself in the diplomatic babble that was wasting enormous amounts of paper on saying allot of nothing. Quietly the door opened and closed and near silently tread crossed the carpet the man stood there watching the emotions flicker across her face in quiet amusement before gently placing his hands on her shoulders and start kneading. Startled her head snapped up and she met smiling violet eyes and a broad grin. "How's it going gorgeous?"
"Duo you nut you scared me." His eyebrow quirked skeptically, "I doubt that. Don't let Heero catch you sitting with your back to the door." Reaching up she gave his braid a sharp tug.
"Hey gently angel I'm sensitive."
"Umm hmm," she stared at him sternly.
"Sheesh you've been around spandex boy to much." She laughed. "You better not let him catch you calling him that."
"Ready for lunch?" She blinked at the sudden switch in topics. "Lunch?" Biting the inside of her cheek to smother a smile she stood picking up her papers she crossed the room sliding them within the safe after she secured it she felt confident enough that her look was completely innocent. Turning she leaned back against the bookshelves and eyed him quizzically. "Did we make plans that I've forgotten?" He stared at her suspiciously.
"You mean you don't know?"
Inside she giggled gotcha. "Know what?"
"O man your kidding me right? You forgot?" Careful now too uninterested and he'll suspect. "Duo?" Straightening up she moved quickly across the room. "What is it? Is something wrong?" His face fell swinging around his shoulders slumped looking all the world like a disappointed little boy. Placing her hand on his back she stroked gently downward before taking his braid in her hand.
"Duo?" She walked around in front of him gently brushing the end back and forth against her cheek it was silky smooth it surprised her a little at how soft it was. Relena tilted her head thoughtfully time to be getting back to the issue at hand good thing she was a softie. "Duo come on tell me what's wrong?"
He stared at her mournfully "I just thought maybe you." He waved his hands trying to explain without looking like a fool. "Nothing," he exhaled noisily.
Pushing his bangs up and out of his face she leaned in peering upward. "You thought I forgot your birthday," she finished for him. Smiling at him humorously. Unable to help it she giggled, swishing the end of his braid across his cheek teasingly she let it fall. Stepping over to her desk she pulled it open, setting a box and an envelope on the desk in front of him. "You can open them now or while we're having lunch its your birthday you choose."
He whooped, "now!"
She laughed, "somehow I thought that's what you would say."
Ripping open the envelope he opened the card two pieces of clear plastic slipped to the ground. "Easy Duo you know how hard it was to get those."
"Hey alright Madelynn Hanson."
"Hmm mmm and there's an extra there in case you manage to talk Hilde into going," she teased. He shrugged, "if she doesn't I'll take you." She shook her head. "No way no mosh pitts for me."
"Come on princess live dangerously."
"I do, I am.."
"Ha."
"Now what's that suppose to mean?" He stared at her intently a moment before a teasing grin appeared. "It means if you went it would be the last soiree you would want to attend."
"Maybe," she grinned. Picking up the small box she waved it back and forth. "One more birthday boy." He smiled opening it up she watched his face anxiously he had such an arrested expression on his face she couldn't tell if he was pleased or not.
"Duo?" She bit her lip. "Do you like it?"
Silently he took it from the box and lifted it up he stared as if mesmerized. For some reason she found herself ridiculously nervous she started babbling. "I remembered Hilde saying you had a cross but you don't wear it for fear of loosing it so I thought I would get you one you could wear. I mean I know it's not the same but." Relena drew a breath and blew it out and up. " Duo was I wrong? We can go and exchange it of you want."
Shaking his head he pulled her into a hug "I love it. It's perfect," he said huskily. She pulled away enough to see his face. "You sure?" He nodded, "help me? He held it up.
She smiled relieved. "Ok sit somewhere." Looking around thoughtfully she gestured. "There the edge of the desk is fine or I'll never reach you."
Stepping between his legs, she took the necklace standing on her tiptoes she gently draped it around his neck sliding the clasp around where she could see it she leaned in. Duo lifted his hands to her waist and steadied her subtly drawing her closer he dipped his head and inhaled closing his eyes he savored the delicate scent of wildflowers in her hair and the illusive fragrance that seemed to be a permanent part of her skin and clothes. "There." Regretfully he let her pull back and arrange his necklace studying it critically a moment she nodded. "It's you."
Smiling lazily he lifted her chin with his knuckle he kept his movements slow and deliberate giving her the chance to stop him if she wanted. Duo searched her eyes a moment longer looking for something she couldn't quite interpret. Then déjà vu hit her for a split second time warped back to the hallway outside Hilde's hospital room her compassionate nature had once more led her into the deep end leaving her feeling like Alice in the looking glass.
Nervously she shifted under his watchful gaze her mind all to easily supplying a collage of memories that she had almost convinced herself was imagined. She had heard Duo's friend had been injured and stopped in to visit before heading to earth. What she found was Duo's rage and bewilderment but more importantly his need to be reassured or so she had convinced herself.
Relena tried to offer reassurance. Still long afterwards her mind lingered over how he had pulled her close holding her like he never intended to let go, his body hardening from the close proximity of hers. Finally the hungry, urgent way his mouth claimed hers and the very moment she had started to respond she panicked. Pulling away Relena stared at the longing and needy pleading in his eyes as she slowly backed away before nerve broke and she whirled and ran. At the time she never knew if it was him she ran from or herself.
"Hey where are you?" He brushed a fingertip down her cheek. Relena blinked owlishly returning to the present and those same hungry eyes which were staring at her mouth like a cannibal stranded on an island with vegetarians.. Uhh oo.. His eyes dropped to her mouth lingering nervously clearing her throat she said the first thing that came to mind.
"Are you hungry?"
His smile held tender amusement, before deliberately leaning closer brushing her lips softly her eyes widened then fluttered and closed her breath hitched then a shaky sigh, delicate and soft, trembled on her lips. "Duo.." Her voice trailed off weakly.
"Shhh." He rubbed his thumb back and forth across her bottom lip. "It's just me." She forced her eyes open and stared at him uncertainly.
"Duo what are you doing?" He trailed the back of his knuckles against her cheek then reversed his path his palm cupped her face while his thumb started absently stroking the edge of her eyebrow. "Mm what does it feel like I'm doing?"
Puzzled she searched his face. "But why?"
He shrugged, "I had to," he replied cryptically. "Heero." She began her voice was a throaty, uncertain whisper.
"I know." An odd light appeared in his eyes before he lowered his lids hiding his expression. Putting on a deliberately pouty face. "Does than mean you don't love me?" Startled she laughed in spite of the tension.
"You're a menace I suppose if I think about it long enough I could come up with a few reasons why you're so loveable."
"Good." Standing up he draped his arm around her shoulders and hugged. "You can tell me each and every one while you take me to lunch along with why you only have one earring.."
Relena blinked a delicate bush stained her cheeks as she absently fingered her ear. "Good grief, I forgot all about that."
Duo smirked, "hmm mm I think there's more to it but have it your way. Hello earth to Lena come on I'm starving here."
"Ok, ok." Leaning over the desk she grabbed her purse from the drawer before hurrying across the room she stopped suddenly. "You really do like your presents?"
"I'll treasure them always even my first kiss by a princess." Smiling silently she shook her head at his antics and let him guide her out the door.
