Oh.... don't even ask where this came from...
Random fic: twinkie, catnip
Halloween Drabble 42
I kicked half-heartedly at the seat in front of me. "This is totally ridiculous."
Heero didn't even look back at me. "No. Totally ridiculous was everything else you did tonight."
"Not everything."
"Duo- do you want me to list it all? The alcohol? The bondage club? The near-riot? The twinkies?"
"The near riot was Quatre's fault."
"So he said. All the same, Une's a little upset with both of you."
"She should be mad at Trowa. He's the one that started that fight with Quatre."
"That's what set him off? Usually he just challenges you to a drinking game with that stack of old holos you have. Why didn't he this time?"
"You know damn well why he didn't." I muttered and strained at the handcuffs. Damn it, anyone else and I would've had these things popped off by now. "What the hell sort of cuffs are these?"
"The kind you designed to hold lock pickers."
Fuck. "Why do you have a pair?"
"You gave me a pair, remember?"
"I've tried to block it out."
Heero's sigh was audible. "Well, look at it this way. You'll have the weekend to try and figure out how to get them off. Une wants you held for forty-eight hours."
Ah hell. She must be furious. "And who gets stuck with the holding? HQ?"
"We can't toss Preventers or former pilots in with the prisoners." Heero shook his head. "Besides it's not official. Thankfully you were in costume and no one recognized either one of you. Nothing hit the news and Une wants it to stay that way. She just wants you and Quatre to keep your heads down for a bit."
"So where are you taking me?"
"Home."
Home? He didn't mean... I lifted my head up and peeked out the window. Damn it. This just got better and better.
"Your home you mean."
Another sigh. "You still have your things there."
"I said I'd have them out as soon as I found someplace." I snapped. Heero had probably boxed everything up and stuck it in the garage.
Heero pulled into the driveway and hit the remote for the garage door. "No rush." He pulled the car into the garage and hit the remote again. Couldn't blame him. Wouldn't look good if the neighbors saw him haul his ex-lover out of his car in handcuffs. They might get the wrong idea.
He got out of the car and pushed his seat forward, grabbing my elbow and pulling me out of his tiny backseat. "You could just undo the cuffs," I pointed out and he rolled his eyes.
"I thought you were going to try and pick them open." Was he serious? I focused my attention on the cuffs again, and I nearly tripped over the catnip mouse on the floor of the laundry room.
"How's Isa?"
"She'll be happy to see you." He deposited me on the couch and stepped back a little. "She's missed you."
"At least someone has," I muttered, still focused on the cuffs.
Heero snorted. "You think I didn't? You're the one that left me, remember?"
I remembered all too well. "You didn't stop me."
"No. I thought you'd cool off and come home." I looked up at him, surprised by the tone of his voice. Damn... had he missed me after all? "And when you didn't-" His lips curved. "Well, here you are. In my custody for the weekend- and handcuffed on the couch."
What? Oh- he didn't- he couldn't! "You couldn't have planned this-"
"No. I just took advantage of the situation." He took off his jacket and tossed it on the chair. "I was getting a little desperate, I admit."
Suddenly, everything looked a lot better than it had five minutes ago.
"Me too." I told him and his smile widened.
A moment later and I was pinned to the couch, stretched out underneath Heero, his fingers sliding beneath my shirt. "So... maybe we can negotiate your return?"
I tilted my head forward and caught his mouth for a moment. "Maybe- though you do seem to have the advantage..."
"If I know you, I won't have it for long."
"True," I pulled my hands out from underneath me and dropped the cuffs on the floor. Heero laughed and I reached up to pull him closer. "But... I think we can work something out..."
