Better Ideas 13
A layer of frost covered everything. The walls were icy and the floor was slick and hard to walk on. Since the factory had been shut down, the heating systems had shut off and the moisture in the air had frozen. Since the war, the moon had become a desolate place, most colonists moving to the still teraforming mars. Still, the moon did have its appeal; it was close to both Earth and the colonies.
The red face of Epyon staring at him interrupted Heero?s thoughts. The red suit had fallen into slight disrepair and the right arm he had cut off so many years ago was nowhere to be seen. Crawling into the cockpit, he noticed the ice had covered everything. The clicking of several switches and the warming and re-firing of the reactor were the only sounds in the cold, lonely facility. It took several tries, but the reactor fired up and all systems started. Shards of ice and frost fell to the floor as Epyon slowly moved from its dormancy. Maneuvering out of the already open hanger doors, he flew the suit to the nearby carrier and loaded it on.
The flight home was quiet as Heero was the only one onboard. The atmospheric shield inflated as the high temperatures blasted past the ship. After landing back at Preventors main military base, he unloaded Epyon to the same hanger as Zero. A small legion of technicians assaulted the mobile suit and began cleaning all the ice and dust off of it. Une met him on the catwalk as he exited the machine.
?Everything went well?? She inquired.
?Yes.? He answered still looking at Epyon.
?Good. Heero, we need to talk.?
?The blueprints are nearly identical, there won?t be any problems.? He answered.
?That?s not what I?m talking about. I want to talk to you about Mariemeia. Let?s take this somewhere private.? She walked out of the hangers to the office building, Heero following. ?I haven?t spoken to her in quite a while. I?m concerned about her. She hasn?t called or anything.? Concern was written across her face as she spoke.
?She?s fine.? Heero nearly let out they were living together in a new house but managed to hold his tongue.
?Where is she? Are you to still seeing each other?? The colonel?s concern was lightened.
Heero, as usual, brushed off the comment about them ?seeing? each other. Deciding it was safe to say so, he told her about the new arrangement. ?We live together now. She bought a house.?
?Oh.? Une was surprised to say the least. She never expected Heero to really take her daughter?s interest seriously, maybe for a fling at best. ?I was unaware that you two were so?? She searched for a word that wouldn?t offend or be suggestive. Heero eyed her cautiously as they walked. ?Close.? A few moments passed in silence as they took the elevator to her office?s floor. ?Could you tell her to stop by or call, and that I?m not mad or anything??
Heero answered with a nod. He turned to leave. ?Make sure Zero is in good hands.?
?Only our best.? Heero walked out after her words. She knew how close he was with the impressive gundam. It was miracle he allowed anyone to touch it.
Heero drove to his and Mariemeia?s home. It was dark before he pulled in. Mariemeia?s car was in the drive way and the lights were off. As he stepped into the house he turned the light on to the living room. Light seeped into the comfortably. The quiet footfalls of someone coming down the stairs alerted his attention.
?How was the trip?? The young redhead inquired innocently.
Heero looked over his shoulder at her; she was dressed in only a white t-shirt and had obviously been asleep moments ago. ?Good. Everything went smoothly and efficiently.? He walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, pulled a tupperware container out, and shut it again.
?That?s good.? She strode over to him as he put the container in the microwave. Her arms wrapped around his waist from behind. ?I missed you, ya know?? She smiled as her head rested against his back.
?Yeah.? She released him and sat on the kitchen counter. He watched the timer on the microwave for a moment, several minutes until his makeshift meal was ready. He turned around and stepped between her knees.
Pulling his head down to her level, her lips met his and shortly after her tongue slipped into his mouth, as did his. She felt his hands move from her bare knees up her thighs. The feel of one of his hands moving up to her breast and his lips on hers was intoxicating. She smiled against his lips as she tugged at his belt. Just as she started to slide it out of the buckle the loud beep from the microwave pulled them from the moment of avidity.
He scowled at the machine but pulled from her embrace anyway. After opening the door, he grabbed his food. She sighed and hopped down from her perch. ?When do you leave again?? She asked following him to the living room.
?I don?t know. I?ll leave as soon as Zero is fully operational probably.? He replied sitting down the large recliner.
She sat down on the couch. ?So it?s that bad, huh??
?Were going to have a hard time, even with Zero.? Heero and Mariemeia sat in silence as he finished.
Mariemeia stood up. ?I think I?m going to bed.? As she walked by she let her fingers brush against his neck. She stopped at the stairs, and turned to look over her shoulder. ?Coming, Heero?? She insinuated with a seductive smile, briefly flashing her teeth.
Heero was lying on his back staring at the ceiling with his head resting on his hands. The threat of this war was a bit looming. Even though he vowed to never kill again, he had killed, and would have to kill much more before this conflict was resolved. Although, his past statement was in conflict, he had said he didn?t have to kill anymore, but he did. Peace was not cheap, it cost many men their lives, how many more would he himself pay? He was brought out of his reverie by Mariemeia?s arm moving across his chest.
?Promise me you?ll always come back Heero.? Her eyes were closed as she spoke, but she was far from asleep. ?I don?t want you to leave.? He felt a wet tear fall against the skin of his chest.
?I have to.?
?I know.? She slid her leg over his. ?Promise me.?
?I?ll come back.? He wrapped his arm around her, assuring her. He knew she was getting more attached to him the moment she began staying at his apartment, and even more so after she invited him to move in with her. Heero wasn?t sure how much she cared for him, but it gave him something to come home to, something he never had.
A.N. Standard disclaimers apply. Been a while! I?ve been trying out a few different ideas on writing style and trying to increase the length of my chapters. So leave a review on what you think about any ideas or changes or anything. Thanks for the reviews! I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible.
