I had forgotten what day it was. When I dragged myself into my apartment I nearly cursed to find Heero stretched out on my couch waiting for me. It so wasn't fair- of all the times to forget that this was the weekend he planned to visit!
He lifted an eyebrow as he took in my appearance. "What the hell happened to you?"
"Don't ask." I ran a hand through my bangs, felt the grease build up on my fingertips. Yeah, this wasn't the way I wanted Heero to see me... Ew.
"Is it the case you're on?"
"Yeah," I sighed and headed towards the bathroom. "I'm sorry- I forgot you were coming by today- just give me a bit to get cleaned up?"
He got to his feet and followed me. "Let me help."
That made me pause- I mean, it wasn't like I had anything to hide from Heero... but what was between us was new and still... well, still in the new underwear stages, if you know what I mean. Where you make sure you're wearing nice underwear whenever you see them? Yeah, that kind of thing. I mean, sure, Heero's seen me grungy and beat up before- but back then I wasn't hoping to get him into bed with me later.
Okay, so I was, but that's another thing entirely.
Heero put his hand on the small of my back and gave me a small push. "You're dead on your feet," he said softly.
"I'm sorry," I told him as he guided me towards the bathroom. "The case had me running like a madman this week- I totally forgot that you were going to be here tonight..."
I winced inside. That made it sound like I didn't look forward to his visits- and I did. Very much so... I was messing up all over the place.
"It's okay Duo, I know how it goes." We reached the bathroom and he turned on the shower. "Get undressed. I'll get you some clothes."
"Thanks," I said, finally getting something right and he just smiled.
I peeled off my clothes and dumped them into the sink. I was untangling my braid when Heero rejoined me, putting my sweatpants and a t-shirt on the counter.
"Let me," his hands touched my braid and I stood still as he worked. "It's greasy- did you oil it?"
"Originally- but I haven't washed it for a few days either. Had to look the part," I made a face and he chuckled, giving me a small push towards the shower.
The warm water felt so good that for a minute I just stood there under the spray and let the heat soak into me.
I jumped when something touched my hair.
"Relax," Heero said in my ear. "Let me do this." Gentle fingers tilted my head back and began to scrub shampoo into my hair.
It felt so good that I didn't even think to protest- not that I would have. Taking a shower with Heero had been pretty high up on my list of fantasies for a long time- though this wasn't quite how I had pictured it.
"Rinse," he said in my ear and I stuck my head under the spray. My hair still felt oily under my fingers.
"Yuck."
"We'll do it again," Heero said and started rubbing my scalp again, working the shampoo in. I reached back to help him and he batted my hands away. "Just relax, Duo. Let me."
"I can help."
"You're ready to fall over. Save your energy."
Was I? I guess I was. I hadn't slept much the last few days either. Heero was being really nice about all this- it wasn't all that often we got to see each other- and here I was an exhausted mess when he showed up.
"I'm really sorry."
"Nothing to be sorry for," I felt his lips touch my shoulder briefly. "I know how the job goes."
He did. "Anything big going down on L1?"
"Nothing recently." He chuckled. "I was actually thinking about putting in for a transfer."
"Really?" I knew Heero really liked the Preventers offices there. "To where?" I hoped it wasn't somewhere farther away- like Earth...
He smacked my head lightly. "To here of course. I'm getting tired of only seeing you once a month or so. Rinse."
I stuck my head under the spray while I considered this. Heero was thinking about moving here? For me?
"I'd like to see you more often too." I told him when the shampoo was out.
Heero picked up the soap. "Then I'll turn in the paperwork when I get back," he said as he slid a soap-filled hand over my shoulder, "okay?"
"Terrific," I told him, leaning back against him as he washed my chest. "Unless you'd rather I moved there..." I didn't really want to- but I would for him...
"No." His hands moved in lazy circles on my stomach. I was tired, but his touch was waking a few of my body parts up- even as most of me just wanted to sleep. "L2 is your home more than L1 was ever mine. I just want a home with you."
That made my heart speed up for a moment. "I want that too," I turned my head and pressed my lips to his.
I yawned when we parted and he chuckled. "Sorry-" I started and he hushed me. One of his arms tightened around my waist. His free hand moved lower, making me gasp.
"That's it," he said softly as I closed my eyes and arched into his touch. "Just let me..." He pressed his hips against mine tightly as I moved against him.
I had to struggle to keep my eyes open afterwards.
"Bed," he said and turned off the shower. I'm pretty sure he dried me off before he tumbled me into bed, but I was too far gone to notice. I just curled up next to his warmth and fell asleep.
