All The Kisses
a/n: I do not own Gundam Wing.
Chapter Three – The Happy Kiss
Heero moved in with me after that first night. I had a spare room, and I could use the help with the rent. Not that I did not have my own selfish reasons for it all, but it still was a good thing.
Heero works for a security firm. His whole job is hacking computers, finding the systems flaws, and then fixing them so not even he can hack them. I can tell he likes his job, but it does take him away a lot.
For instance, this time he has been gone for a week. We have only been housemates for a month, and now he is gone for a week. Before it was only a couple of days at a time. But today he comes home, finally!
I lock the door behind me as I head out to my car. I am running about ten minutes behind picking Heero up from the shuttle port. I drive like a maniac, trying to get there on time. Then parking is a mess, but I finally make it; and only three minutes late after all of that.
But I can't find Heero. He is nowhere to be seen. I check the shuttle schedule and I cannot believe I did not think to check it before. His flight was delayed by two hours. Well, I'll be damned if I am going to drive home and then come back. I will just wait.
Okay, now it has been two hours. I have had two energy drinks, one cheeseburger, and I have been to the bathroom twice. I have read every magazine on every available surface, and now I am ready for my housemate to come home.
There he is! Coming out of that portal there! I wait impatiently while he takes care of business, and then he is in front of me. He is smiling: a real, genuine, hundred watt smile that I have never seen before.
"I'm happy to see you," he says. My jaw drops.
"I'm happy to see you too!" I roped him into a fierce bear hug and then pulled away slightly so I could smash my lips with his. A quick, energetic, happy kiss. A kiss that could not wait until we got home and away from prying eyes.
But Heero only smiled that same new smile, and grabbed my hand with his free one.
