Asked by crimson_spree: Hey Jealousy, around sometime in the future.
Author's Note: Sorry it took so long! I had to think about this one a bit!
Hey Jealousy Drabble
"So I was saying to Bob, just the other day..."
I did my best to focus on the speaker. Who was this again? One of Quatre's sisters husbands? One of his employees? Hell if I could remember.
Heero squeezed my waist gently and I turned my head just enough to catch his eye. The curve of his lips told me that he had noticed my wandering attention. I slightly lifted my eyebrow in response and saw that curve of his deepen a little.
"You'll have to excuse us," Heero's voice cut across the flow of words holding me prisoner. "Duo has an early meeting. We need to go."
Without waiting for a response, he pulled me away and headed for the door.
"I love you," I said as we waved at Quatre. "Though I wish you had thought of that ten minutes ago."
"Ten minutes ago you still looked interested," he teased. "We'll have to work out a signal. Maybe you can step on my foot or something."
I nearly retorted that he'd have to be right next to me and not stuck in a corner somewhere- and then realized that he had been. Heero hadn't left my side once tonight.
Of course I should have expected it. This was the first big event we'd gone to since- well, since Heero hadn't felt well.
I stopped him as we were getting into the car and kissed him. "What was that for?" He asked, still smiling.
"How are you doing?" I watched as his face stilled while he considered the question.
A moment later, the smile returned. "Fine."
"Truly?"
He pulled me close. "Yes."
Accepting his hug, I held him tightly. "Told you that you could do it."
"Couldn't have done it without you."
