He boarded the craft with a sideways glance towards the cockpit, then turned and made his way down the narrow isle. The seatbelt buckled with a definitive ?click? and Heero sank into the dull gray cushions, listening to the thrusters power up while the pressurized air hissed into the cabin.

Riding on the shuttle was a complete loss of control.

The ground crew left the launching pad, and Heero closed his eyes, giving himself over to the capabilities of other people. Now he was relying on someone besides himself, another pilot, a foreign computer system. After all this time he was still getting used to the feeling. The last few months on Earth with Relena had shown him that it wasn?t such a bad thing, depending on others, at least every once in while. But she?d been gone for far too long, and now his world seemed hazy, unclear. He needed her; he knew it now. And he could tell from the message he?d received this morning that she needed him, too.

In a few moments, the darkness of space surrounded him like a worn-out blanket. Stars twinkled like light through tears in the fabric. His fingers traced the patterns of distant orbs that glimmered and sparked outside the iced-over window pane. Space was cold ? he remembered; cold and lonely.

Heero took a deep breath and shifted his gaze from the black expanse. His ears buzzed in the silence and he squinted, noticing for the first time how empty the cabin seemed. The rows in front of him were completely unoccupied. Heero craned his neck and peered over the places in the back. Not a soul. Come to think of it, he hadn?t seen a single crew member or attendant on board the shuttle at all. The ride had been smooth, and the ship seemed to be on course, but he couldn?t shake the feeling that something was amiss. He felt anxious, yet still detached.

With a flip of the seatbelt buckle, Heero shot up and took a few hurried steps towards the cockpit. His hand grazed the keypad near the grey metal door.

?We?re alone. But it?s alright, Heero. The shuttle?s flying just fine.?

He froze. The sound of rustling fabric crept up behind him, and a pair of slender arms wrapped themselves around his chest.

?Relena??

She laughed as he turned around, trapped in her loose embrace. Her radiant smile lit up the dim interior, reaching her eyes by the time he was finally able to focus on her features. His fingers traveled over the silken material of her blouse, finally coming to rest on the side of her face. Her skin was so warm, so soft. And she was really here.

?Did I have you fooled??

Heero tilted her chin upwards, noticing the mischievous expression.

?I don?t understand. How could-?

Relena smirked. ?I have a few connections. But does it really matter?? She asked, silencing him with a kiss.

His arms snaked across her shoulders, tightening their hold as if to never let her escape again. She pressed against him, and he kissed her back, toying with the loose strands of golden hair that tickled his fingertips.

Heero eased himself onto a nearby seat, taking Relena with him. She planted feathery kisses on his cheeks as he reclined backwards and nipped at the tender flesh of her neck. His head came to rest on the chair?s cushioned top, and he glanced up, locking his gaze on the girl in front of him. She smiled again and leaned in towards him. Heero closed his eyes and waited?

The shuttle jolted, causing his head to bounce off the seatback. Heero snapped into consciousness, only to be blinded by the artificial light of the colony?s shuttle port runway.

?Welcome to the L1 Colony,? a computerized voice crackled over the loudspeaker. ?We?ll be docking shortly. Please remain seated??

He dazedly collected his bag and made his way through the terminal. A dream. For now, but he was almost there.

?Heero??

Dreaming again? He shook his head and closed his eyes, but when he opened them, she was still there.

The young woman hurried across the hallway, eyes wide, to match her smile.

?What are you doing here??

He reached out for her hand. ?I got your message.?

?You did??

He nodded, but Relena still looked puzzled.

?Then why didn?t you wait? I called earlier to say that the Colony Conference ended sooner than I thought. I?m on my way home now.?

?That wasn?t the one. This morning?s.?

Relena played with the buttons on his jacket. ?Oh! When I said that I wished you were here.?

Heero nodded again.

?And that when I?m gone??

His lips touched hers, and he felt the fog finally lift from his mind.

??I miss you.?
