Better Ideas 10


Une didn’t call him to Heero office the next day. The group he was planning on eliminating was unaware that Preventors had even discovered them. The mission wouldn’t last but a few days at most. Heero finished early and walked to the hangar to see what was left of his gundam. Though it had been six years, it was still as damaged as the day he had crash-landed it on that mountain in Brussels during the coup there. Due to the hard to manufacture gundanium, it was difficult just to make the parts, let alone buy them.

He frowned looking upon his old one time companion. A link had been found between the current groups of insurgents and a larger network of rebels. If things exploded in the coming months, he might need to use Preventors to have Zero repaired for combat. They did have access to the best mechanics and scientists in the world. They also had the funding to pay for such a project.

He hoped in didn’t come to that. He’d grown to use to not fighting in a mobile suit. He had used a few scrapped together Leos every now and then, but they were nothing compared to Zero. Just as he turned to leave a young lieutenant ran up to him.

“Preventor Yuy, a message arrived from Preventor Wind a few days ago. We haven’t sent anyone up to give it to you because we’ve been slammed with repairs and equipment repairs before the mission.” The young man handed him a disk. “It’s encrypted so you’ll have to use the Preventor mainframe to see it. Whatever is on it, it must be important.” The lieutenant ran back to his station. Heero walked out of the hangar with out saying a word to the young man and left to go home.

Mariemeia was inside when he arrived. She was curled up on the couch reading a book with the TV on. “You’re home early.” Heero stated as he stepped inside the door and closed it.

“Class was canceled because one of the electricians messed up and caused the power to go out across campus.” She said still engrossed in her book. He sat down on the couch next to her and sighed as he let his head rest on the back of the couch. If his eyes were open they would have been staring at the ceiling. He closed his eyes trying to let his mind rest after a long day. Mariemeia closed her book and set it down. She slid a hand over his chest and around his neck as she moved closer to him. His eyes opened as he picked his head up. Mariemeia pressed her lips to his. She deepened the kiss as he massaged her lips with his own. She broke shortly after.

“I found a house that looks promising a few miles from here. Would you go with me to look at it?” Heero looked to the TV. A movie was on. He nodded slowly. “Thanks, I was hoping you would go with me.” She smiled as she stood up. “I know it’s been a long day but we’d better go before all the daylights gone. The real estate agent said she would be there till eight.” Heero stood back up tossed his Preventor jacket over the side of the couch and walked to the closet, grabbing his denim jacket as well as her fashionable black leather jacket. Mariemeia always seemed to dress nice, not formal but she was always fashionably presentable.

Mariemeia grabbed her keys and led the way to her car. Heero locked the apartment. He stepped in the car shortly after. “Tell ya what, for coming with me I’ll but dinner tonight at a decent restaurant.” She smiled genuinely as she put the shifter into reverse. Heero only nodded. Mariemeia paid for her share of the food for the few days she had been there. This had actually been the first time he had ridden with her driving. She didn’t speed but she weaved through traffic with extreme precision. It didn’t surprise him much, but was surprised at how well she did it.

They arrived at a small white house in the comfortable suburbs. It was a two story with little distinguishing features. She parked on the street behind another car. They walked up the driveway to the front door and rang the doorbell. An older woman answered the door. She was dressed in a business suit and skirt. “Miss Barton, how nice to meet you and your…?” She said in a sweet, salesperson’s voice.

“Friend, I’m currently his room mate. Any way, let’s see it.” Mariemeia answered. The woman showed them around. The house was warm and inviting, even without furniture. It was also modern and comfortable with its conveniences. The tour was fairly short. “I’ll take it.” Mariemeia answered before the real estate agent could even give her an offer.

“Great, we’ll write up the papers tomorrow.” Mariemeia and Heero left.

“So what did you think Heero?” Heero didn’t answer immediately.

“My opinion doesn’t matter much seeing as you already decided to take it.”

“Well, I was thinking that maybe you might want to move into a little bit larger space.” Mariemeia stated in an innocent tone.

“What do you mean?” Heero asked.

“Well, I was wondering if you would like to move in with me at this new house. It’s more than large enough to accommodate us both, plus, I thought it might help you financially.” Her offer would sound with out implication to anyone but him. Their ‘relationship’ had other benefits to them living under the same roof.

“Money isn’t much of a problem for me, but I’m not much for apartments either.” Heero meant it to come out as his accepting her offer, we wasn’t sure that was how she took it.

“How about we discuss it over dinner?”


They arrived at a restaurant that Mariemeia had decided on earlier. They discussed the terms of the moving arrangement. Fortunately it was unnecessary two figure out who would get the master bedroom as the house had the brilliant idea of making two master bedrooms connected to the same bathroom.

Heero told her about the mission that he would be leaving for in two days. She joked about how it was an excuse to get out of moving furniture, all of which was his. Mariemeia paid for dinner as promised and they drove home.

The night was uneventful as they went nearly straight to bed. Neither really wanting anything more that night.





A.N. Standard disclaimers apply. This story seems to be evolving on its own now. It’s hard to keep thinking of things. As always appreciate reviews! Thanks!
