Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Of Laptops & Love Letters ❯ Chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )

~ *cough* I'm such a slacker -_-; I'm sorry it took me so long to get yet another chapter out. I'm hoping I'll get a good chunk of writing done over vacation. This chapter somehow turned out a bit melancholy... *odd look* I guess it had to happen eventually. Story development, you know? *scampers off to hide from various readers with pitchforks and other hurtful items*

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, nor do I own the song "I'm Too Sexy".

Of Laptops & Love Letters

Chapter 9

By: Penybright

Heero paced his room restlessly. He was suffering another night of insomnia induced by images of Relena in that skimpy negligée... As much as Heero hated to admit it, he did need sleep, and his nerves were beyond frayed at this point. He glanced at the bottle of liquor sitting on his desk. So tempting...

"To hell with it," Heero muttered, stalking over to his desk and snatching up the bottle.

Relena had abruptly woken up that evening for unknown reasons. Once she was up, she found she couldn't get back to sleep. With a disgruntled sigh, she slipped out of bed, pulling on a long, pale blue silk robe. She might as well get something to drink, an possibly eat, while she was up. On her way to the grand staircase, Relena passed Heero's door, and paused in uncertainty. Did she hear music drifting through the crack under the door? Cautiously, she inched closer, pressing her ear to the wooden structure.

What Relena heard was not something she ever expected Heero Yuy to be listening too. It was almost bizarre to hear the lyrics and know who was listening to them. Stepping back from the door, Relena wrapped her knuckles against the wood. She suddenly had the oddest feeling that something wasn't right, and she wanted to make sure Heero was okay. When the door wasn't opened, or a grunt of admission heard, Relena really began to worry. Acting on impulse, she twisted the door knob and swung the door open. The scene that greeted her made her freeze in wide-eyed shock.

Heero, obviously drunk, was singing along to the lyrics and even... acting them out. The catchy beat of the synthesized music registered in Relena's mind as she watched in shock, frozen in place.

"'Cause I'm a model, ya know wha I mean," Heero slurred. "An I do mah little turn on tha catwalk. Yeah, on tha catwalk..."

Heero proceeded to strut toward Relena, doing a stumbling turn when he was halfway to her.

"I shake mah little touche on tha catwalk."

If not for the sheer oddity and shock of the situation, Relena would have doubled over in laughter as Heero continued to act out the song, "shaking his little touche on the catwalk".

"I'm too thexy for mah cat, too sexy for my cat," Heero sang as he approached Relena until he was inches away form her. Leaning in, he purred the next line in Relena's ear.

"Poor pussy, poor pussy cat..."

Relena gasped as his breath tickled her ear, her breath hitching as he pulled away. Damn he was hot when he was drunk...

"I'm to sexy for my love, to sexy for my love..."

Heero's voice seemed to grow quiet with those words. The last line came out slightly choked.

"Love's going to leave me."

And with that, Heero sunk to the floor in a half conscious heap. Relena regained her senses after his collapse, and rushed over to his side. Glazed Prussian blue eyes looked at her longingly.

"Re...lena..."

"Hush, you're drunk, Heero. You need to get into bed and drink some water."

"Un," he muttered, slumping against Relena's shoulder. "So warm..."

Relena couldn't help but smile at him. He was like a smile child. Shifting to a more comfortable position, she cradled Heero against her, her fingers idly playing through his tousled hair.

"Heero?"

"Hm..."

"What were you sorry for the other night?"

"I made you cry."

The words were barely above a whisper. Relena wasn't sure how to respond to that. He had made her cry, though she didn't think it was intentional. She knew Heero had his own demons to contend with, and that he'd been seeing a psychiatrist after the Eve Wars. His progress was slow, but he was trying, and that's what mattered. If she could help in any way, she would. He had opened her eyes and taught her so much...

"Don't you worry about that," she responded finally. "All is forgiven."

A soft mutter was her only indication that he had heard her, before he went completely limp in her arms. Relena sighed, and began to drag Heero over to his bed. She should have gotten him into bed then started up a conversation. But, it had felt so nice to have him in her embrace once more.

"Sleep well, Heero," Relena whispered, her lips ghosting over his before she padded out of his room, softly shutting the door behind her.

"So, you still have a thing for him."

Relena jumped and whirled to face the owner of the voice. Solemn blue eyes regarded her.

"Millardo..."

~ Yeah, yeah, I know. Another cliffhanger. You'll live :P
