All The Kisses
a/n: I do not own Gundam Wing. Hey, I just wanted to say that I appreciate all the positive reviews I have been getting for this story. It feels nice to be reviewed.
Chapter Seven – The Get Well Kiss
You wouldn't know by looking at him, but Heero is a very good nurse. Not only can he set his own damned leg when it is broken, but he makes a mean chicken soup and can distribute the appropriate pills at the appropriate times.
Well, this time around I am the unwillingly patient. I am sick as a dog. We have no clue how it happened. But, you know how it is. I could have caught it while buying groceries or some such nonsense. So now, I have the flu: the nasty, yucky, stupid flu. And you would think, being such a highly trained soldier, I would not be able to get sick. You thought wrong!
I have been lying on this couch for a solid four days: sneezing, runny nose, coughing, scratchy throat, nausea, the whole kit n' caboodle. And Heero had been with me all this time, taking complete care of me.
Aren't I lucky?
Well, today he has to go back to work. He has to leave me here, all alone, and go into the office. I am not happy about it. As a matter of fact, I am downright pouting about it.
He walks into the living room, looking so nice in his suit. It is charcoal gray, and he wears this lovely lavender oxford with it. The tie matches both suit and shirt. He looks absolutely stunning. Of course he does, I picked the damned suit out. He looks so damned good…..
I cannot wait for this damned flu to be gone.
"Status?" he asks me.
"Sore throat gone. Cough reduced. Sneezing reduced. Runny nose is unfortunately still present, but the fever is gone finally," I smiled at him, and he smiled back.
"I will be back sometime before dinner time. Do you want some chinese for dinner? I can pick up some on the way home," Heero offered. I nodded. He leaned down and kissed the corner of my mouth softly, letting his lips linger. Well, that is closer than the cheek pecks I have gotten in the past week.
"Thanks," I let my smile show how grateful I am for the gesture.
"Get well, so I can kiss you properly," Heero admonishes as he walks out the door.
As he used to say, mission accepted.
