Chapter 6: Living In This Moment Forever

Heero snapped out of his stupor and closed the door quickly, locking it. He didn't need the other pilots to barge in his room and find him with her on his bed, in that bodysuit. He would never live it down.

"What are you doing here, Usa-chan?" he strode over to her and sat down at the edge of the bed.

Usagi put on a mock hurt look. "Do I need a reason to visit my boyfriend?"

Heero sighed. Absently he recalled that he had been doing it a lot lately. "You know I don't mean that, Usa-chan." He shifted and pulled her into his arms.

The blonde snuggled deeper to his chest and giggled slightly. "I know, Hee-kun. I was just teasing you."

"Hn," Heero grunted in reply and buried his face in her soft hair. They smelled of apples and peaches. For one moment he forgot all about his worries and the war. All that existed was the two of them.

"I have something important to tell you," Usagi said suddenly, her tone serious. Heero gazed at her and saw her troubled expression.

"What is it?" he inquired softly.

"Don't take the upcoming mission."

Heero pulled back from her in surprise. "What?"

"I'm serious, Heero. Don't take the upcoming mission." Heero noticed that she called him 'Heero' instead of 'Hee-kun' which meant the situation was grave.

"But why? Usa-chan, you know full well that I can't do that," he stared at her, not understanding. A part of him wondered how she knew about the mission since he hadn't receive one yet, but he filed that thought for later assessment.

"It's a trap. I don't want you to get hurt or worse, killed. I don't think I can handle living without you again." Usagi looked down at her hands. Heero knew that she was still hurting from the time he left her behind.

He cupped her cheeks and made her face him. "Usa-chan, this is war and you know the risks I have to take. I can't promise you that I'll make it through this alive but I will try my hardest. That I promise you."

Usagi closed her eyes and her tears made their way down her face. "I understand," she whispered.

/Damn, I hurt her again. I'm sorry, Usa-chan. You deserve much better than me but I can't seem to let you go although it's selfish of me,/ Heero mentally berated himself. He placed a soft kiss on the corner of her eyes where her tears started and made his way down her face, placing butterfly kisses along the trail of tears. He brushed his lips lightly across hers and felt her open her mouth. Taking the silent invitation he delved his tongue into her warm and moist cavern, sucking and licking it hungrily. He pulled away when the need for oxygen threatened to expand beyond a mildly unpleasant burn. Both of them panted trying to pump air into their lungs.

"Usa-chan," Heero broke the silence. When the blonde girl looked up at him, he continued, "I know I have no right to ask this of you but I want you to promise me you will never put yourself in danger."

"I understand, Hee-kun, and I promise."

The quick acceptance made Heero blink in wonder. He thought he saw something flashed in her eyes when she accepted but he attributed it to his fatigue. He hadn't been getting enough sleep lately, worried about the girl in his arms.

"I better be going now, Hee-kun. I'm sure you don't want your friends to see you like this." Usagi gently pulled away from him and Heero reluctantly let her go.

Before he let her leave, however, he had one last question for her. "How did you find this safehouse? We just moved in this morning."

Usagi didn't reply. She gave him a searing kiss before jumping out of the window and into the darknened woods. The last Heero saw of her was a flash of yellow hair before it too disappeared into the darkness.

Deciding that it was enough excitement for him in one day, he went and lie in his bed. His thoughts were troubled and he didn't find sleep until the break of dawn when he finally passed out from exhaustion.

It felt to him that he had only slept for a second and he was still feeling tired. He was awoken by something but his sleep fogged mind couldn't process anything. One prussian blue eye opened blearily and met a pair of amused violet eyes.

That caused the Japanese teen's eyes to fly open in surprise before he started growling at the laughing braided boy.

"Ha ha ha! You should've seen the look on your face. It was priceless. Who would've guessed that the Perfect Soldier is sleeping in. Ha ha ha!"

Heero glared at his soon to be dead best friend. /How the hell did he get in? Didn't I lock the door?/ In his tired state of mind he had forgotten that Duo used to be a thief and therefore he was the expert in stealth and opening any type of locks.

"Duo," Heero grated out.

The braided boy stopped laughing at his tone and gulped nervously. "Yes, Heero?"

"Get. Out. Now."

Duo backed away slowly from the fuming boy and scrambled to get out of the door. "Uh, I just wanna tell you that-" he gulped when he saw the look the other boy was giving him. "Quatresaidbreakfastisready," he blurted out in a rush before running out of the room.

Heero sat on his bed, blinking while trying to decipher the American's rushed speech. When he finally figured it out he stood up and went to the bathroom. He glanced at the clock and saw it was half past eight. /Great, I slept in. The others are going to have a field day with this/.
