I felt blankness settle over my face as if he'd physically shocked me. Duo growled something, and stood, turning his back to me. He was breathing like he'd...
"Fine... fine."<br><br>But it wasn't fine, nowhere near fine. Not for Heero, standing there looking at me like I'd just rejected him, confused and hurting. And...
I let my fingertips reach up to where the hair had been. "Mad as hell, but I'll get over it."<br><br>"I don't know what to do about this, Duo." Hell, he looked...
The News, which is on the viewscreen, is rarely covering good things. They show riots, robberies, firefights and murderers, all things which are hidden from ...
He tells me that they can save him - all of humanity, in fact - by proving him wrong. He says he does not need for them to be perfect, or brilliant, or ...
I lean on the kitchen doorframe and watch him. He probably notices me right away, but is busy doing something with a wok and does not turn immediately. ...
He is silent until I finish, then takes the vegetables and throws them into the wok. He continues to ignore me, in fact, until the food is finished, but that ...
He takes a bite before continuing. "I could arrest you. I've considered it. Perhaps one of the others could interrogate you more... efficiently."<br><br>And...
I speak softly, unable to keep the heavy emotion from my gaze. “Will you have me arrested if I stay here, Wufei? I will not leave your apartment, if you ...
"I don't understand why you need me to give you these answers. Why don't you search your own heart?" He says, then takes a deep, ragged breath. "All the ...
“Do you want to come with me, Wufei? To see it? Or simply stay here and report the matter closed?” I ask, still holding his wrist.<br><br>"I'll come." ...
From the moment that photo landed on my desk I was set on this course, this trial. Probably it had happened well before that, maybe even as long ago as Meiran;...
Finally he spoke, directing me away from the public sections of the shuttle port to a remote hangar. It didn't surprise me that he'd have his own craft on...
I ran. And I kept running. All the way out of the building and half a block away before I realized that leaving Heero alone and stranded in that flat was ...
Oh no, the Perfect Soldier would never be lazy. Or afraid or in denial. Not him. I couldn't resist prodding him, just a little bit. "Physically no, but ...
"Truth hurts, doesn't it?"<br><br>If he'd said it to be mean, it wouldn't have hurt half as much as it did. It did hurt. It was true. Something hot and wet ...
"Want more?" If there was hesitation, I didn't hear it over the pounding of my pulse.<br><br>I did want more. No. No I didn't want more. Maybe there should be...
"I'm coming, sure," I said, happy as hell and twice as scared. This wasn't happening. It couldn't be happening. Could it?<br><br>And then his hand was on me ...
My hands found the front of Heero's jeans and flicked open that top button. Then the zipper. Then I hesitated. Scared shitless. Scared of what this meant. ...
I didn't know what to say to that. I knew that nothing "more" would happen now. I reached down and zipped up my jeans.<br><br>Duo put his hand on my stomach,...
Hey all you sports fans! Not really. Just took a gander at the members listing, and jeez, we got lots of people who aren't playing! We've got several juicy ...
"Stop here." <br><br>I parked the jeep a few dozen yards from the compound, then waited for Khushrenada’s next move. This was his operation. He needed to ...
I nodded but said nothing as the door slid open, disappearing into the wall, almost too quickly to follow, opening onto total darkness. Khushrenada ducked...
Yes; I wait until he is close enough that I can feel his body heat, and THEN I switch on the light.<br><br>He looks up at me; a classic expression of “What...
Removing a pen from my jacket, I do as commanded, and then slide the paper back. He looks at the screen, then the list, crosses off several, and then one by...
