“I’m sorry.” “It’s okay. It was amusing.” Relena frowned as she heard Heero move. She knew he opened the door, she heard it. No light flooded into the room and she pressed closer to the warmth of his body. “Heero?” “We appear to have a problem.” “Why are the lights off?” She felt tense and stiffened, expecting the world to fall around her ears. Somewhere in the darkness something moved. “What was that?” “Shh. Be still and let me investigate.” Leave her in this black pit? There was no way she was going to stay here alone and she fumbled to grasp his retreating arm. “You are not leaving me alone!” A quiet sigh issued from the darkness. He had not actually moved she realized, just stepped a little to one side. “I’m here and I’m not about to leave you. I just want you to find a chair and wait for me while I see what is happening.” “I am not going to sit in this refrigerator for any length of time, Heero. I’ll be a popsicle by the time you come back.” Something bumped in the darkness and she could not tell if it was behind her or ahead of her. Her sense of direction was ruined and she was not about to lose the security of Heero’s presence. “You can’t come with me.” He hissed. “It’s dark and cold and… Can we at least open the curtains and let in some moonlight?” “I guess we could. You stay exactly where you are and I’ll draw the curtains.” “Okay.” She still did not like the idea of losing touch with him, but she liked the idea of staying in this darkness even less. He squeezed her hand gently and then pressed past her and into the room. Something was close by in the darkness, she could hear small sounds of movement. Something bumped near her and she tensed, willing herself not to be a weak-hearted booby and scream. “Heero?” “Ye…” The thump was followed by something crashing against the floor and joined by a stream of rather colourful metaphors. It was dark so he could not see her grin and she was careful not to snicker aloud. “Are you alright?” “Just fine.” A second thud and sharp inhalation of breath marked a second obstacle in his path to the window. Biting her lip to keep herself from giggling or screaming, she was uncertain which, Relena extended a hand out to contact the door but failed to touch the wood. Unwilling to move and possibly meet the fate of Heero she sighed and waited. Thump. “There’s someone here.” Sounds of movement from deeper in the room quieted. “Where?” “Something brushed past my leg and then someone bumped into the furniture.” Heero felt fabric beneath his reaching fingers and grasping the material he flung the curtain wide… and rapped his hand hard against the post of the four poster bed.
