Lurking In The Dark “Psst.” Relena hesitated, looking about her for the speaker. The hallway was dimly lighted in deference to the need to conserve power. The last of the dinner guests had departed and barely had the car been out of sight than the lights had begun to go down. Staff were quickly and quietly beginning to clean the dining room and Relena was now free to seek out her mother. “Psst. Over here.” Heero. A door creaked to her left and she eyed the darkness beyond before glancing up and down the hallway. She needed a discreet word with him as he had not seemed exactly thrilled by the prospect of meeting her mother. She knew boys had this silly fear of mother-in-laws and she was sure her mother would adore him. He certainly was not the usual political sycophant who trailed after her; he was so much more substantial. Surely her mother would approve. “Heero, what are you doing lurking in the dark?” Strong arms reached for her as she approached and gently pulled, the door closing on her heels. The room was freezing and pitch black, one of the vacant guest suites, she realized. No effort was made to heat unused rooms and the curtains would be pulled across the windows to keep out some of the chill. “It’s freezing in here!” Those strong arms circled her shoulders and drew her to a warm body and moist lips pressed to her forehead. “I’ll keep you warm.” Well this was unexpected, but rather nice. His scent was comfortingly familiar and she stood on tip toe, intending to nuzzle his ear. Crack! “Oomph!” “Ooh, I’m sorry! Are you alright?” Her hands reached to grasp his head and he hissed and she eeped! as her fingers contacted an eye. A soft moan from the dark and he stepped back. She was afraid to move for fear she might take out an eye. “Heero?” “I’m fine. I thought a romantic moment in the dark would be a good idea.” “Oh it is!” She assured him, stumbling forward, intending to hug him. She was unable to see him and feeling lost without close contact in the stygian gloom. Her stumbling steps produced a yelp as she trod on his foot with her sharp little heels and throwing out her arms to steady him produced a moan as she contacted his already abused nose. “Damn!” The curse mingled with his moan. “Heero?” A quiet sigh. “I’m okay.” Wide-eyed she stood in the dark and considered the absurdity of the situation. She was in an empty room with the one person she most wanted to be with and all she had done was hurt him. Her romance novels had never prepared her for the reality of clandestine meetings. A snicker escaped. She clasped her hands to her mouth and slapped herself in the face. “Ouch!” “Relena?” “Sorry. It’s just that… Well…” She could not help it. She had to laugh. End
