Disclaimer: Okay, I mentioned this in my previous chapter, so read that!
A/N: Well, I got a request for a sequel, so, here it is...
~*~ Confessions ~*~
Zechs sighed as he walked into the small house like apartment he and Noin
were staying in. They had been on Mars for six months all ready and he still hadn't
worked up the courage to give her that tiny ring. It was really starting to get on his
nerves... He sighed again and glanced at the calendar posted on the refrigerator. It
was all ready November 26 and Noin's birthday was tomorrow. He smiled. That
would be the perfect thing to give her. Though he doubted that she would say yes.
Gods, what would he do if she said no?
He sighed and shook his head, his platinum hair shimmering in the artificial
light. He wondered if she even knew when her birthday was. They had both been so
busy lately, he barely even knew what day it was, let alone what week.
He grabbed a bag of lettuce and began making a salad and smiled. She would
be back shortly from the main electronic unit. Zechs knew she would be tired and
hungry, so he hurried with the salad and began on the pasta.
Zechs had just finished setting the table for dinner when Lucrezia Noin
stumbled in. She dusted herself off and tossed her jacket onto a chair as she walked
into the kitchen. "Hey," she said as she caught sight of him.
He turned and smiled at her. "Hey Noin," he murmured. He hugged her and
led her over to the table. "You look like you could use some food, a shower, and
sleep," he told her with a smirk.
"Oh, your one to talk!" she exclaimed as she sat down and began to serve
herself.
"What? Don't like the colour?" he joked.
She looked at him and smirked. "No, I'm sorry but red-orange is not your
colour," she said.
He smiled and shook his head as he sat down across from her. "Same goes for
you," he added. She smiled.
"Hey this actually tastes good!" Noin said after a moment. He made a face
at her. "No really, your improving!" Noin exclaimed. Zechs sighed and shook his
head.
"Yeah, uh-huh," he muttered. He smiled at her. "I know I can't cook, so you
don't have to act like I can," he added.
Noin sighed and rolled her eyes. "Can't the famous Zechs Merquise take a
compliment for once?" she asked.
"No. I guess he can't," he said after a moment. She groaned and looked
skyward. He smirked as he put their plates in the sink. He could almost hear her
begging God for help...
"Race you to the shower," she said. Before he could protest, she was up and
down the hall. He glared as he heard the bathroom door close and the shower
running.
He should have known. Zechs shook his head as he put the leftovers in the
refrigerator and washed the dishes. By the time he was done she would be out. He
knew that since she only took five minute showers.
He was right, fifteen minutes later they were exchanging spaces. When he
finished his shower and came out, he saw Noin laying on the sofa asleep. The corners
of his mouth twitched into a smirk as he walked over and picked her up. She looked so
innocent and well...vulnerable when she was asleep.
He walked to their bedroom and laid her down on the bed, pulling the covers
up around her. Zechs laid down next to her and sighed. "Good-night Lucrezia," he
whispered. He turned and lay looking up at the ceiling, thinking about tomorrow.
Gods...would he have the nerve to go through with it? If he did, would she accept?
He groaned and turned over again, in his opinion, it was going to be a long night.
A/N:
I know, I know. It's short. I've been so busy lately, you know with finals and
homework and studying and stuff like that! So, what do you think? Do you like it?
I'm planning on adding one final chapter and then that's it with this story, I think.
Well, please review. Thank-you!
