Dangerous Desires
By Akasha Ravensong

Part Four

It had been six months since Heero had come into my apartment and shaken me from my depression and given meaning to my life again. Slowly I rejoined the world and was able to be myself again without the weight that had once been settled upon my shoulders. Things weren't perfect, in fact they were far from it, but I was mostly happy.

A few months after hiding in my apartment or Heero's apartment we started going out into the world. We went out to dinner once a week and the movies pretty much every other weekend. Then we started going out with all of our friends again. It surprised me to see that they too had been worried about me but had not known how to reach me. It seemed that I wasn't worthless after all.

Together, Heero and I had a large amount of savings from the war and since then. We had decided to get ourselves a house outside the city. It would be nice to be away from the action and have a chance to relax. We bought an old three story farmhouse that we would slowly fix up and make our own. It was such a good feeling to know that I was wanted and that I belonged.

I grabbed another box out of the truck, and yelled to the others as they helped us unload and unpack. "Hey, isn't it about time to eat? I'm starving over here."

"You're starving? We're the ones doing all the work!" yelled back Heero.

"Hey I'm helping… sort of…" I replied with a grin. "I've taken boxes out of the truck too you know."

"Yes, maybe one box off of each truck full of crap that we've brought over today."

"Now does it really matter who is doing work and who isn't? I think what is really important is who is doing the cooking."

I'll throw something together in the kitchen, Duo," said Quatre. "I think you have in that fridge and the cabinets for me to manage something edible."

"Thanks Kat" I grinned. Food

About an hour later we sat down at the new kitchen table with a simple but tasty dish of Chicken Alfredo in front of us, with merlot in the wine glasses before us. We laughed and talked late into the night. Dawn was only a few hours away as Heero and I waved goodbye to all of them.

"See, Duo, I told you life was much better when you were actually living it and not hiding away in a stuffy apartment like some vampire."

"Okay, so I supposed you convinced me." I took his hand and began to lead him upstairs towards our bedroom. "Now why don't you convince me that spending all this money on this house was worth it?"

"Oh, I think I can manage that."

He grabbed my arms and pinned me against the wall, drowning me in a assionate kiss. If he had not been holding me up my knees would have given way and I would have fallen to the floor. I moaned into his mouth as he pressed his body against mine and deepened the kiss. We only just made it to the bedroom in time.

Much later that night, naked between the sheets of my bed curled up next to Heero and wrapped within the safety of his arms, I whispered back to him.

"Heero?"

"Hmmm?"

"I love you too."

I sighed and curled up closer against him. Finally, I'd never be alone again.
