A Lack of Counterattack
by mistress amethyst une

The conflict had begun.

Well, the lack of conflict.

It's not exactly a conflict when the enemy constantly brushes aside the ammunition and, on the off-chance of a hit, ignores it like it's nothing.

Heero had suggested she practice throwing things at him for the purpose of self-defense. He would grunt in approval whenever she landed a hit but seriously questioned her choice of ammo.

Seated on her bed, she pouted. Well, what did he expect her to throw at him? Pillows were plentiful and they seemed to be the most viable option since they wouldn't hurt him. From the way he spoke, it sounded like he expected her to start tossing furniture around.

"What did you think the weight training was for?" he sighed, effortlessly dodging another overpriced bag of goose feathers with a tilt of his head.

"To make my arms manly so you could justify telling me not to wear strapless?" she shrugged, pitching another pillow his way with no particular amount of force. It hit the carpeted floor about a foot away from him.

"That's ridiculous. I like you in strapless."

He moved forward, picking up the pillow that had most recently missed him and tossing it back to her with a smirk. Upon catching it, she couldn't help but find it amusing that the enemy was replenishing her supply of projectiles. Was this really an exercise in self-defense or was he toying with her?

"Tearing the straps off a gown in a fit of passion does not make it strapless," she huffed, feigning annoyance. "It makes it useless."

She hit him with another wave of fluff and his expression remained smug all throughout the attack. Each sidestep and dodge brought him closer to the bed.

"You're supposed to be defending your territory," he informed her, catching a pillow thrown in futility as he loomed over her. "That was your last one. What are you going to do now?"

Defeated, she fell back on her mattress and let loose a deep breath. "I suppose I should surrender my honor to you then."

He glared at her. "I hope you're joking."

"Of course," she chuckled. "You took that a long time ago."

"Relena..."

"Growling doesn't suit you."

"I am notgrowling."

"See? There it is. Just relax, Heero. It may not have been as fruitful as self-defense but it did help me de-stress."

"That wasn't the point of-"

The sentence hung unfinished in the air as she swiftly caught a fistful of his shirt in her grasp and wrestled him to the bed. With a quick tumble, he found himself beneath her.

"I guess the weight training worked after all," she grinned, straddling him. "Distract the enemy. Use the element of surprise. Remember when you taught me that?"

"Feminine wiles," he snarled, suppressing the desire to call shenanigans at the unfairness of using his sentimental attachment to her as a weapon against him.

"So I guess you'll be surrendering your honor to me now," she chortled. "Don't worry, I'll be sure to make this pleasant. Maybe wipe that horrible expression off your face."

Leaning down, she teasingly brushed her lips against his, smiling against his mouth.

"On second thought," she whispered, her words falling on the space between their previous kiss, "perhaps not."

Getting off him, her bare feet landed on the carpeted floor as she picked up a pillow. Still mildly dazed, he eyed her with confusion as he sat up.

"Up for round two?" she offered.

The statement didn't register in his mind until she hurled the pillow at him and hit him square in the face.
