SLEEPLESS IN THE SANC KINGDOM
(By Pamela Ann Sanada)


Chapter 5 (The Mission)


Heero's eyes snapped open. Someone was in his room talking to him. Then he remembered what he shared with Relena, noticing she was still with him.

< So it wasn't a dream > he pondered.

He recalled from his nights of surveillance of her that she talks in her sleep. Nothing comprehensible, she just mumbles but she was laying right next to him this time doing it right in his ear. And he could make out bits and pieces of stuff she was saying. A 'can't let Milliardo find out' here with 'ummmm, Heero, that feels so good' there.
Heero laid there and listened to her a little more with his eyes closed, then he heard an early morning bird chirp which made him open them right up again.

< Damn it > he thought < it must be day break already, shit! >

Heero gently untangled their limbs. Careful not to wake her and he went to unlatch the door lock to look outside. From the soft dark purple glow on the clouds in the east he deduced that it was around five in the a.m.

"Good, still dark enough to move her," Heero said to himself as if getting Relena back into the castle with out being seen was a mission.

He quickly went to retrieve his shorts that he had discarded over by the diving board.

In the meantime Relena had woke up when Heero left her side, but she didn't open her eyes, thinking he would return shortly. When he didn't, she then opened them. She saw the door cracked open and that it was getting light out through the small opening. However no Heero.

Saddened she thought < my night with him is over > as she closed her eyes and relived the night in her mind. She was just getting to the good part when she heard the door creak open. Relena watched, through slit wide eyes, Heero's large frame move to get her robe that she had hung up in there before she went swimming last night. She closed her eyes wondering what he was doing and then she felt him carefully wrap it around her as he picked her up in his arms.

Not wanting to ruin the nirvana of being in his arms, Relena just played along. Going limp as a rag doll, she enjoyed the sound of his heartbeat as he carried her outside and up the yard towards the house.

Heero's organized mind had already made the plan. Her room was way too far for him to take her there. Someone might see them. They would have to go back to his room. At least if she was caught in that part of the palace, it would be easier for her to explain to anyone who might ask that she was on her way back from the pool though that corridor. But deep in his subconscious he really just wanted her to wake up with him and maybe make love with him again.

So, he takes her to his room, which is the only logical solution, rids her of the robe and deposits her on the queen size mattress. He snuggled under the covers with her after checking his 9mm on the nightstand, having taken his shorts off once again. He actually laid there and just watched her sleep, she was so beautiful and now all his. The thought made him smile, an action foreign to him, but she made him feel so peaceful and being with her like this just felt so right.

< Where have I had that feeling before? > Heero contemplated in a haze of oncoming slumber. That evil voice in his head said one word, < Zero >. It worried him, but then she nuzzled closer to him and his mind told him: < yeah, but your Gundam wasn't this soft, nor did it smell so good and my god being inside her warm, tight body was a lot better than that damn cockpit, soldier >.

This thought frustrated and also frightened Heero so much so he thought of waking her by vehemently taking her for making him think such a thing. But he had more control than that, plus he would never force himself on a woman. Pushing the impulse aside, he just observed her breathing and ran his fingers through her silky blonde hair listening to her sigh as he drifted off to sleep as well.

Not too long after falling asleep next to Heero again and this time in his bed, was Relena awakened by a god-awful racket. She sat straight up, looking around for the source of the wretched sound only to find the noise was emanating from Heero. He was snoring! And very loudly at that! It was that deep chest cavity, inhale, nose snorting, suck up the room type of snoring.

Relena was automatically brought to tears of laugher and she covered up her mouth trying to keep her belly hoot from being louder that Heero's snoring. Which she soon realized, was impossible. He was just rattling the room and she laughed some more, thinking < who would have thought Heero Yuy, the perfect soldier, snored? > Relena sat there and had a great laugh at the sleeping pilot's expense as he continued to inhale the room.

< But what an ideal flaw for him to have. It just shows that he is actually human > she theorized as she stopped laughing and watched him turn on his side away from her, cutting off the reverberation in his throat. Relena studied the latent form of his body that was wrapped from waist down in a sheet, the arm whose shoulder rested on the bed was crossed up over his chest with that hand resting on the opposite shoulder, with the other arm hanging off the side of the bed. His mouth was wide open and he was breathing loudly through it, but at least he wasn't snoring.

Relena giggled at the notion of maybe telling him when he was awake about how bad he snored and wondering what the look on his face would be as she told him. Then she studied his face as his dark brown disheveled bangs fell to the side, revealing his tanned facial features. That consisted of his gorgeous cobalt blue eyes that when open could see into your soul, but the now closed eyelids where lined with dark lashes that fanned out over his perfectly placed cheekbones. At the peek of them was a impeccably shaped nose and under that was those handsome lips that he kissed her with and used so skillfully on other areas of her body as well. That gave way to the textbook strong jaw line and he had flawless skin that graced it not a blemish anywhere. < He is just perfect >Relena thought, realizing she truly never had the chance to study his face so closely. She itched to touch the perfectness of him but she resisted in doing so, certain she would wake him and she didn't want to do that. He just looked so relaxed, unlike the formidable look when he was awake.

She reminisced on the fantastic night he gave her, never wanting it to end, only to remember that it already had some hours ago. And recalling the agreement they made, she recognized that if she wanted to get out of this with her pride intact she best go now before he told her to. So, Relena gathered her wits about her and shook off the drowsiness she felt. She quietly extracted herself from the bed and reclaimed her robe from the chair next to it.

Heero had kicked the sheets away and Relena, stepping to the side of the bed as she slid the dressing gown up her arms, gazed at him. She memorized every tiny detail from the top of his head to the tips of his toes. Tears were hovering at the back of her eyes, but she refused to cry over the wonderful night of lovemaking. Instead she crept into the hallway while looking around to make sure no one saw her leaving Heero's room. She quickly made her way to her bed chambers and got out of her robe to climb into her bed, falling fast asleep once again.
