Across The Winds
Chapter 8
Zeros Lost Soul
Duo stumbled in a decent hour for once. ?Damn one stand girls.? He mumbled to himself. Hilde?s voice caught him off guard.
?What?s wrong??
?All she wanted was to sleep with me and be done with me.? Duo said in an agitated tone.
?That?s all you ever want.? Hilde stated.
?But that?s different.? Duo said.
?How so?? Hilde interrogated.
?Well, you see, I?? Duo tried to defend Himself.
?Uh huh.? Hilde glared at him. ?When are you going to stick to one girl? Get a girlfriend and stop womanizing.?
?Well what about you? I don?t see you with anyone.? Duo shot back.
?What do you mean? I?? Hilde cut herself short thinking about her and Heero.
?That?s what I thought.? Duo said with a triumphant look. Duo walked to his room and passed Heero walking down the hall. When Duo was out of earshot Heero spoke up.
?What was that about?? Hilde looked over at him.
?Oh nothing.? Hilde walked closer to him. ?Last night??
?What about it?? Heero asked not knowing what to expect.
?I?m sorry.? Heero looked down at her.
?Don?t be.? Hilde gazed at him with a smile. Heero smiled at her and walked to the kitchen to do the dishes, it was his turn tonight. He was quickly followed by Hilde. Heero was mildly surprised when he felt a pair of small arms wrap around his waist from behind.
?Thanks Heero.? Her arms left his waist and Hilde walked away. He missed the feeling of proximity already. He continued with his work. His charge was finished quickly and he fell asleep thinking of a certain short, raven haired girl who he had come to know as Hilde.
The next morning hit him like a brick as he could already feel the heat. Why did they have heat waves on a colony? In this case, he didn?t want to be reminded of earth. By eleven he was working in only shorts, his t-shirt discarded to try and keep cool. Even with all the garage doors open, it was still hot as the devil. Luckily, the colony weather director was going to end the heat tomorrow.
?Heero!? Heero looked up to see Hilde walking toward him with a glass of lemonade. ?I thought you could use a break.? She told him softly as she handed him the glass. Heero sat down on an up-turned crate and took a sip.
?Thanks.? He began to guzzle it down. Damn he was thirsty.
?There?s more in the fridge if you want more.? Hilde said smiling as he finished his drink. ? I made it from fresh lemons. None of that concentrate crap.?
?It was good. Thanks again.? Heero said handing her back the glass. He stood up and used a rag to wipe off the sweat on his face and chest. Hilde turned to leave. ?Hilde.?
?Yes?? She asked still facing away from him. He walked up behind her. She could feel how close he was by the way the cloth of her shirt touched his chest. His arms wrapped around her slowly. The weight of his head on her shoulder made her realize what he doing.
?Now you weren?t going to leave me to work on all these cars alone, now were you?? He said with a grin. His new sense of humor was surprising him at every turn.
?Actually.? She turned in his arms to face him, putting her own arms around his neck. ?I was going to make Duo help you out.? She swayed with him and grinned.
?You wouldn?t.? they were slowly moving closer to each other.
?I would.? Their lips were almost touching when a crash caught their attention. From outside, Duo came hopping in with his foot in his hands, mumbling something about a muffler in the middle of the walkway. Completely unaware of what was about to commence, he put his foot down. Before he could look up and see them. Hilde pulled away and walked over to see what was wrong. Apparently, he tripped on the muffler as he was walking to the garage.
Heero was silently mad at Duo for is bad timing. Un-know to Heero, so was Hilde. How can someone have such bad timing?
