Sleepless Drabble
I turned over in the bed, punched my pillow into a more comfortable position and growled. Damn Une and her stupid mission. I could've gone with Heero but no, she said it was a short errand, only needed one of us, just take a few hours...
Which it hadn't. Heero was supposed to have been home hours ago. At least someone from Une's office had called to tell me there was a delay and he was okay, but I still didn't like it.
I stared at the clock beside the bed. Funny, I don't think Heero and I had spent a night apart since... well, since that week when we finally cleared up all the misunderstandings between us. I could almost laugh at how stupid I had been back then.
Almost.
The hands on the clock didn't seem to move. Was the damn thing broken? I shut my eyes and tried counting sheep.
Course, I couldn't really remember what a sheep looked like. It's not like I spent anytime out in the country. I knew they had to be kind of fuzzy...
Then again, was there a law that said you had to count sheep? Couldn't I count something that I knew? Something like cars or guns or pillows?
I punched the pillow under my head. It was too soft. I was used to using Heero as my pillow. Reaching over I snagged Heero's pillow too. Combined with mine it was a little harder, and it smelled right.
But it wasn't him. Even after all this time, I couldn't sleep without the damn man here.
Cursing under my breath, I sat up and snapped on the light.
Heero was in the doorway, his tie in one hand, shoes in the other, blinking in the sudden light. "I thought you were asleep," he said with a smile as he stepped into the room. "I was trying not to wake you."
"Like I could sleep without you here?" I watched as he walked to the closet and finished getting undressed. "Everything go okay?"
"Yes, except for the delay." He gave me an apologetic look. "I'm sorry I'm late."
I flipped the blankets back and he slid in beside me. "It's okay. You're here now." I curled up on his shoulder and closed my eyes.
Now I could sleep.
