Protect Me From What I Want -chapter 7 PG-13

[BabbleFish]

(Piano Concerto No. 2- 2. Adagio Sostenuto ? Rachmaninov)
i've started posting the soundtrack fo the chapter, so you can get a peek into my brain as i work. or something like that...i'm already working on chapter 12 fo this for FF.net and discovered that this story has been woefully ignored here on BI. this will eventually be a lemon, with the really lemon-y bits being posted here. but there's still a ways to go before that. as always, please enjoy!




He didn?t quite know what to expect when he called Relena that morning to inform her of his return. What ever it was he?d expected, it certainly wasn?t the pale, tired woman who answered the vid-phone that morning. Her obviously wet hair was wrapped in a pale yellow towel and she was clad in a terrycloth robe of the same color. She must have just gotten out of the shower... For all her seeming frailty, she was still astoundingly beautiful. Her eyes were the same clear azure that he remembered, framed by coal black lashes that lent those same eyes an air of mystery. But they were tired eyes, too serious to belong to the idealist he remembered.



Images came unbidden to his mind, of a naked Relena in that shower...



She washes herself languidly; the scent of roses hangs in the steamy bathroom. My eyes drink in her smooth, wet form. I step stealthily into the shower behind her. She is unsuspecting at first, but the muscles in her shoulders tense when she realizes I?m there.



?I thought I?d find you here,? I speak softly in her ear, my sharp eyes not missing the shiver that runs down her spine at my words. She begins to turn around, but my hands on her wet shoulders halt her movements. As much as I long for her to turn around and to see her glorious nakedness, I have other ideas.



?Not yet,? I whisper in hear ear as my hands slide down her sides to rest comfortably on her hips. I pull her close to me and her back barely touches my chest. It is a delicious torture; tension pools my abdomen as the soft brush of her wet skin against mine. It takes all of my control not to spin her around and take her right there in the shower. My arms tighten around her, my left sliding upward to cup the nape of her neck while the right sliding around to her smooth belly. I nuzzle her ear as I move my hand lower, lightly stroking the slick skin of her abdomen before sliding farther down. She leans into me, her back tensing. It is a source of fierce masculine pride to know that I am the one to make her whimper and cry out. My hand moves of its own accord, barely brushing the soft flesh right above her...



?Heero! Welcome back, buddy!? An obnoxious voice in his ear shattered the daydream and forced him back into reality. The ecstatically happy face of Duo obscured his view of the now dark screen of the vid-phone. Embarrassed, he could feel the traces of a blush heating his cheeks. Please don?t tell me the baka noticed...He thought, as scenes from the fantasy flitted across his brain.



?How was your call to Relena? Hey...are you blushing?? Duo had seen the faint smattering of pink...Shit; he?s never going to let me live this down. The Perfect Soldier, blushing! The Perfect Soldier does not blush!



?I don?t know what you?re talking about,? he replied gruffly, carefully masking the annoyance from leaking out. Heero glared at the grinning man, trying to get him to drop the subject. The Glare of Death would have caused any other person to change the subject at once, but Duo seemed to be impervious. If anything, his grin grew wider.



?See? That wasn?t hard! All you had to do was pick up the ?phone!? The man with the long chestnut braid prattled on as he sat down on Heero?s new desk. ?I knew she would be happy you called, it?s been eight years since she?s heard from you,? his voice hardened, still cheerful but with a seam of steel beneath it. Duo stared at the dark haired man, happy to see him after so long but disapproving of his behavior. Heero?s got no idea what?s really going on, he thought. No idea that Relena?s working herself to death, or that she still loves him.



?I was required to call her and let her know about the threat and my travel plans. If I hadn?t, her secretary wouldn?t have had a chance to make the appointment,? Heero muttered as he tried to focus on the paperwork spread before him.



?Yeah, but she thinks you?re coming from space, not from just across town!? Duo?s eyes narrowed in aggravation. One of the best, if not THE best, soldier of all time and he?s totally clueless about actual interpersonal interaction! ?Why don?t you surprise her and stop and see her this morning? I?m sure she?d be glad to see you,? he suggested as he knocked Heero?s paperwork onto the hardwood floor.



?Duo...get your fat ass off my desk and pick those up...do you know how long it took me to prepare that file?? Heero was seething, all his hard work down the drain because of a baka with stupid hair.



?Chill out, buddy! I?ll put them in order while you take a break and go visit Relena!? The aforementioned baka replied; as he hopped off the desk and tossed his hair too emphasize his point.



Before Heero could formulate a suitably snide remark, the end of Duo?s braid smacked him across the nose. Enraged at his point, he conceded defeat, stood up and walked to the doorway.



?Everything better be back the way it?s supposed to be when I get back, or say goodbye to your precious braid!? He growled, and stomped off.



Duo grinned to himself as he began the daunting task of putting what looked to be a ream of paper back in order. So, he?s finally goin? to see Relena. Good luck, buddy.


eee! please tell me what you think, i'm just dying for some input! yay, thanks for reading!!

I've really like your fic so far. I've been reading it off FF.net but I perfer Blissful over that site. People can be a little more free with what they write. Bliss gets confusing through since the stories get moved around. Sometimes when people post a new story on here, I can't find it because it's already been pushed down by people reviewing other stories. :-?

Anyway......... Like I said I really, really like your fic. It's had me giggling my head off since I started reading it. I love the 'Duo antics'! You can't go wrong when you put a teasing Duo in the mix. I think that I read this part off FF.net. One question through, Heero is goin to help Relena get off her drinking habit, right? Anyway.... I'm looking forward to your updates. I'll keep an eye out for them.

continue!

i'm so glad you like it! your review/comment really made my day (since i've been having such a crappy one^.^). i like BI better than FF.net, since they've gotten really puritanical lately. but you're right, it is difficult to find all the parts to a particular story. Duo is the comic relief, what more can i say? never fear, chapter 8 will be up soon!

continue!

never fear! chapter 8 will be postes soon, it's just going through some final revisions and stuff^.^

[epyon]

yay!

LOVED IT!!!
Figures Heero would be daydreaming of Relena and him in a close heated
encounter in the shower! jjajajajaj
I love it how he noticed Relena's tired eyes, this had to definitely have propeled
him to actually go see her!
Duo is soooo cute!! He sacrificed himself to help Heero by dropping the papers
he now has to fix! Good luck Duo!
I wish there was a Duo Maxwell in this world, I bet it would make it much easier
to live in and definitely much more fun! :razz:
Nice update!
