G Gundam – Unexpected Love
Chapter Eleven- Tensions Rise
A/N: Sorry for not updating for so long. I had the intention to update ages ago but finals kept me from doing so. Again, sorry and I hope you'll find it in your heart to forgive me. To repent for lost time, I will work on a new work and try to find some sort of happy ending for this story and Getting Past The Rain. If you have any suggestion for my new fic, feel free to tell me. I still haven't decided which characters to base the story on.
AJ unzipped the pack he was carrying, finding his clothes, some provisions, and a sleeping back. Well, at least I remember to bring one, he thought. Wait a minute. . . Allenby plus me makes two . . . He looked at the sleeping bag again. But there's only one. Then that means. . . .
"What's wrong?" Allenby asked, staring at AJ, who had his back turned towards her. AJ turned abruptly and hid the sleeping bag behind his back.
"Nothing," he quickly replied, smiling at the blue-haired girl.
"Oh, okay," she responded. "If you need me, I'll be outside."
Need me? AJ thought, his jaw dropping. What does she mean by 'need'? He opened his mouth to ask but thought better of it. "It's getting cold," he muttered to himself. He looked at the one sleeping bag again. "It's gonna get even colder tonight. . ."
Elsewhere, Domon was experiencing the same predicament . . .
HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!! Domon paced around the camp. It's bad enough that I'm going to be in the same tent as Rain, but to share the same sleeping bag . . Domon blushed slightly, gripping his hair with his hands. "It's gonna be okay," he said. "I'll just go ask AJ for a spare one." He flipped open his tent door and immediately spotted AJ, who was pacing around nervously just like he had been.
"Yo AJ!" hissed Domon. He didn't want to grab any attention to himself. "Come here."
"Hey, man. I got a little favor to ask," chuckled AJ. "I was wondering if you had an extra sleeping bag."
"That's what I was going to ask from you!"
"Wow, really? We're in the same boat?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't need to rub it in, dude. So what're we going to do?"
AJ stared out into space pondering the magnitude of their current situation. He looked around for some sort of inspiration. There was an inn uphill but they were trying to evade the notorious chainsaw murderer so he thought better of it. He turned his attention to the clearings where the hot springs were.
"I GOT IT!"
"Shh!!" hissed Domon. Then, lowering his voice, he asked, "What is it?"
"The hot springs," replied AJ. "It'll be warm enough so that we wont freeze to death. The girls can have the sleeping bags, and we'll just hang in the hot springs for tonight."
"Good idea. I better get back to tell Rain about it."
"Yeah, me too. Well, to Allenby. C'ya later."
When Domon entered his tent, Rain was already there. Much to Domon's misfortune, she was cooking up a plan of her own . . .
"Say, Domon," whispered Rain, who was eyeing the young martial artist with interest. She held up the sleeping bag. "There's only one sleeping bag. I cant find the other one."
"Yeah, well, we don't have another one," answered an embarrassed Domon. "But don't worry," he added quickly. "That one is all yours. I'll be hanging out with AJ. You know," he said as Rain raised her eyebrows, "To stand guard. There IS a psychopathic killer on the loose, you know."
"My hero," replied Rain in a husky voice. Then, leaning forward, she placed her lips gently on Domon's cheek. "Thanks."
"Yeah, well, I b-better go," stuttered Domon as he quickly backed out of the tent, tripping over his pack and face planting. This is NOT boding well for me. . . I wonder what's up with AJ and Allenby? He got up and brushed the sand off his unruly hair.
"What up, Domon?" asked AJ, who was hiding behind the tent.
"GEEZ! You almost gave me a heart attack," growled Domon. AJ let out a snicker.
"Yeah. I mean, after scoring so many points in the tent, you're bound to."
"YOU WERE SPYING---"
"I just happened to pass by," AJ answered. "Good going."
"Yeah, well . . . so how'd it go for you?"
"Well," said AJ who hung his head down in embarrassment. A slight shade of red filled his cheeks. "Allenby got a little . . . rough on me, you know? I mean, DAMN, she had a wild side I never thought a girl could ever have."
"You don't mean she . . . and you," whispered Domon. AJ made a motion with his hand indicating for Domon to come closer.
"So what happened?" asked Domon, who was in complete awe.
"Okay, so I was telling her that I was going to stand guard for the night, and that she could have the sleeping bag all to herself. And out of the blue, she offers to SHARE the sleeping bag with me. But when I declined, she said, 'Well, I suppose if you wont share it with me, I might as well make up for lost time.'"
"And?" breathed Domon, whose eyes were nearly popping out.
"And then she pulled me to the ground and got on top of me and unbuttoned my shirt. Then she said . . . do you really want to know what she said?"
"What? Yes. Tell me."
"Okay, so she got on to of me and whispered in my ear . . . get closer so Rain wont here you."
Domon edged closer. "Okay, go on."
"So she said," whispered AJ, who was leaving poor Domon in suspense. "She said . . . TAKE A FREAKIN' BATH YOU STINK!!!!"
AJ's voice shook the entire forest, and Domon was holding onto the ear that AJ was whispering in.
"DAMN YOU, idiot!"
"Yeah, well, I'm entertained," chuckled Allenby, who was leaning on AJ. "Anyway, so AJ told me about the problem, and I decided I might as well join him. Don't have much choice, I need his protection." Getting AJ in a headlock, she continued, "Damn, I must've done something bad in my past life to end up with this noodlebrain here."
"Ouch, not so rough. . ."
Domon let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'll swing by your tent later to get the sleeping bag. Thanks again."
"Don't. . . mention it," replied AJ, who was busy wrapping his arms around Allenby so she wouldn't try to kill him.
"Damnit, let go!"
"Hmm. . . naw. I like it better knowing that you wont bash my head in with a vase or something."
"Geez, you dolt," said Allenby as she struggled herself out of AJ's grasp. "I got to go change you know . . ."
"Oh yeah, so do I. Get my trunks for me all right? You can use the tent to change."
"Yeah okay."
Domon shook his head. Looks like AJ's in the lead. But not for long. . . for tonight, I will romance the hell outta Rain. I stake my life on it!
