I don’t own the song, it’s by The Police, who I had never even heard of before I dug through my parents CD collection, so don’t sue me okay? I don’t own gundam wing either… <Though I’ve tried before to tell her Of the feelings I have for her in my heart> There was a polite knock on her office door, and the dark haired young woman glanced up absently, with a hidden smile she waved the tall young man in. <Every time that I come near her I just lose my nerve As I’ve done from the start> “Yes Preventer Wind?” She asked carefully, there had to be a reason that the Lighting Count would be in her office. He seemed nervous, noone else would have noticed, but she knew him, probably better than he knew himself. <Every little thing she does is magic Every little thing just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on> He shifted his weight slightly and she caught the apprehension on his face. Why is he acting like that? What is going on? <Do I have to tell the story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It’s a big enough umbrella But it’s always me that ends up getting wet> He opened and closed his mouth several times. “What is it Zechs? You look like a fish out of water” She regretted saying that before she had finished speaking and she broke off, and looked up at him, catching the look of hurt that flitted across his face. “Forget it Noin.” He said coldly, turning to go. She stood up and knocked over her chair in the haste to block his path. “Zechs, I’m sorry, what did you want to say?” <Every little thing she does his magic Every little thing just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on> He shook his head. “Noin, I have somewhere to be.” The close proximity of his body was making her nauseous, but she dismissed the familiar feeling that came with being close to him and held a gentle hand up to his face. “What is it Zechs?” <I resolved to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she’ll marry me in some old fashioned way> He shook his head. “Nothing, Noin, I have something to do, Relena asked me to go to Colony X5992 today.” She shook her head. “No you don’t. I personally remember her telling Heero to go instead. What’s wrong? You can tell me you know, I don’t bite…” <But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach her room> He ducked his head to avoid meeting her gaze. “Noin…” She blinked several times in rapid succession; he was acting so strange…what was going on? “Zechs…what is going on?” <Long before my tongue has tripped me Must I always be alone?> He shrugged, a casual motion for any other, but it just didn’t suit him and he looked back to her face, meeting her eyes with all the cautious predatory fierceness of some wild beast. He grabbed her shoulders firmly and didn’t speak; instead he pulled her close to him and crushed his lips against hers. She didn’t struggle; she really didn’t have time to react before he pulled away. “I’m sorry, that was…uncalled for…” He whispered, and for the first time ever she noticed him flushing. She didn’t say anything; she just stood there dumbly, as though unable to move. Had that actually just happened? She reached a finger to her lips, sure enough; it had felt real…maybe her work was getting to her. “Zechs…what was that?” He looked about ready to go throw himself out of the office window just to be out of her presence, and she felt inclined to reach out and grasp his upper arm firmly to prevent him from escaping her. “Zechs…” She whispered softly. He looked away again, damn. Why was he always looking away? What was going on? <Every little thing she does is magic Every thing just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on> “Noin…” She cut him off. Even if what had just happened was a dream, she couldn’t stand it anymore. She twined her long fingers in his hair and pulled him down to her, pressing her lips firmly to his own. He pulled away from her again and she looked away, biting her lip, maybe she had just imagined it… He looked back at her, disbelief scribbled across his face. “Noin…?” She avoided his gaze. “Yes Zechs?” “Was that…? Was that what I think it was?” She nodded, but did not respond, as she was trying to gnaw a hole through her bottom lip. He stepped away from her and looked out her window, a strange expression still on his face. “Why?” She sighed resignedly and slumped into a chair nearby. “Can’t you tell?” She asked in a soft tone, as though he would escape her if she raised her voice too high. “Was it because of what I did?” He asked slowly. She was shocked, so she hadn’t imagined it… “It was because of much more than that… <Every little thing she does is magic, Every little thing just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic, Must I always be alone?> He looked confused. “Then…?” She nodded. “Yes…” “So…?” She looked up at him again. “Yes.” “We…?” “Yes Zechs…” He almost looked satisfied, he turned away again. “Noin, I…” “I know Zechs…I know…” “Then I…?” She nodded again. “Yes Zechs, you don’t have to explain…I know…” “But…” She looked back up. “But what?” A small smirk flitted across his face but was gone just as quickly. “But I want to explain…I…I…love you…Noin …” He had whispered the last in such a low tone she could barely hear him, but she understood. “Oh Zechs…” “Hm?” “I know…and I love you too…” He looked rather surprised at that. “Truly?” She nodded rather irritably. “Yes, you really should have known by now Zechs Merquise.” He nodded. “Yes…I am sorry Noin.” She stood up and crossed over to him. “It’s Lucrezia…from this time on Zechs…And don’t apologize…” He nodded. “Lucrezia…yes…I can handle that…” <Every little thing she does is magic> Owari I can write happy stuff!!! *Grins widely* I can!!!!!!
