Part 5
Lightning danced across the sky as Relena awoke. Sometime during the night she was pulled closer to Heero because the space that was between them when they went to sleep was reduced by half. Ergo they were only inches apart, Heero's arm was tight around her body and her teddy bear was above their heads. Heero was evidently sleeping. /Wait a minute..../ Relena thought while remembering the first time Heero had been captured. She had seen with her own eyes that he had kept his pulse and breathing down, like he was still unconscious, while struggling to get out of the bonds that held him down to the table. So there was no way he would be sleeping now. /Now it's my turn to catch you... Liar/ She thought while bringing her face closer to his, slightly nuzzled his nose with hers and nearly gasped as she felt him lean into it. He had gotten so close, in fact, that their lips brushed. Relena paused for a moment, not knowing what to do. They had been close, but never this close, and the touch had sent sparks coursing throughout her body. Though, as it turned out, she didn't have to do a thing. Heero deepened the small kiss and tightened his grasp on her. Relena really did give a slight gasp before she moved her hand that had once been resting on the crook of Heero's neck to further behind it. The kiss deepened further and Heero pulled her even closer to him. The distance between them was now completely destroyed. Relena's hand started running down the side of Heero's head, almost like she had done after the second war, as their tongues lightly touched before engaging in a playful war. She melted into the touch, unbelieving that this was happening. But when Heero shifted his position to be lying on top of her, everything became perfect and clear. One of his hands went behind her neck and lifted her head to prevent any "accidents" due to her injury. The alarm clock beside them went off telling them that it was 8 o'clock and in one swift movement Heero took his free hand and threw the annoyance against the wall, not braking the kiss, then caressed the side of Relena's cheek with his fingers as the kiss softened and they heard the shattered pieces of machine fall to the floor. Relena broke the kiss chuckling and whispered, "You're going to need a new clock."
Heero growled slightly showing his annoyance and rested his head on Relena's shoulder, then contented to busy himself with placing little kisses on her neck. "I prefer this kind of wake-up call."
Relena chuckled again, "And I'm going to need some new clothes."
"Already taken care of," he murmured in response.
Relena tilted her head back and Heero took full advantage of the new space. She let out a little sigh of pleasure as Heero placed butterfly kisses along her jaw line.
"Forgiven?" he asked.
"Beyond..." she whispered as Heero lightly brushed their lips together before beginning another soft kiss. Relena traced little patterns on Heero's back as she ran her other hand down Heero's firm chest. He moaned in pleasure and Relena deepened the kiss to passionate and Heero matched it, if not going past it. A huge explosion sounded outside which made them both jump.
"It's only the thunder," Heero said looking outside as another one sounded. "Crappy weather for Christmas." He looked back down at Relena to see that she had tightened her grip on him and had her eyes tightly closed while her body was trembling. "Scared?"
"N-no. Why would I be scared of thunder?" She asked relaxing.
"You were scared."
"I was not."
"You were too. And if not, then why were you like that?"
"I don't know! Natural reaction?!"
"You were scared," Heero stated placing a small kiss on Relena's lips.
"Okay, maybe a little..." she sighed in agreement.
He kissed her again.
"Okay, maybe a lot."
"Uh-uh. That's still not going to do it," he whispered kissing her again, a little deeper than the others.
"Okay, maybe I was terrified," she said giving in. Heero only chuckled and wrapped his arms around her.
"Don't worry," he whispered into her ear. "I'm here to protect you... Always."
"So what's your plan for today, O Mighty Protector?"
"Feed the horses, get something to eat and then go visit your friends."
"You sound like an itinerary sheet."
"So?"
"So, that's another thing we'll have to work on. And aren't my friends your friends as well? If not, then you'll have a lot of explaining to do to everyone... especially Duo."
Heero groaned at the thought. "And if I still say that he's my friend, even if I don't really state it, the moment I walk through the door, I'll be glomped."
"Then you'll just have to make sure that you don't kill him and you're away from the top of the stairs. Don't want you getting hurt."
"Like you are?"
"No comment."
"We'd better change that bandage before we go."
"Not that dreaded liquid again!"
"If it's necessary, it might not be. If it is, just don't bite your lip, or anything on, or in your mouth."
"Then what can I do?"
"Bear the pain and expect a sweet reward afterwards."
"Hmm, sounds tempting..."
"Or, you could squeeze the bear," he suggested as he reached up and gave it to her.
"I'm starting to prefer the real thing," Relena whispered as she kissed Heero gently. The urge to keep it going was strong, but he fought it back telling himself that if he did, they could easily get carried away.
"And now I don't want to get up," Heero stated, but then a small gleam entered his eye. "But..." he rolled over onto his back and brought Relena with him so that she was now on top; her long hair cascading over her shoulders and onto his chest as she looked at him with shock and confusion.
"What are you doing?"
"We don't have to leave until the afternoon, the horses can wait, and we don't need to eat until later. We have all morning."
"But..."
"No 'buts'," he answered taking the bear away from Relena and kissing her gently. "You said you preferred the real thing, prove it."
"What has gotten into you?"
"I'm only doing what I've denied myself of since we first met," he said, then leaned up to her ear and whispered, "Ai shitiru, Relena... Zutto," and began to kiss her earlobe before gently starting to nibble on it.
/I love you... forever/ Relena translated as her head fell to Heero's shoulders and he kissed her neck. /It's a shame this tank top of his is tucked in./ she thought with a secretive smile, running both her hands down his chest to rest right above the belt line. To her surprise, however, she found that it wasn't tucked in at all and her evil grin grew wider. She ran her hands up under his shirt, pulling it up with them, as Heero gasped and arched his back into the touch. He helped her get it off and clasped their hands together as he softly teased her lips before taking them fully. The grandfather clock in the hallway chimed nine as the new couple lost themselves in each others touch; careful not to go too far.
