Last part of Live to Tell. Sorry it took so long, but the computer wouldn't let me open up the program for some reason. Fighting with the Blue-screen-of-death isn't fun either.

Heero did his best to see that I was taken care of to the best of his ability and even though he tried to make me feel better, I was just scared. Not really of Heero, but of how my letter effected our working relationship. I didn't want to lose him and yet, I was afraid that now after this mission, he would treat me differently.
We planned to spend a few days holed up in our single bed motel room. I was surprised after Heero bathed me that he would still want to touch me. He fixed me up with a clinical air about him, but then after when he dried me off and bandaged all the marks on my skin, he laid me down on the bed, covered me up and the crawled in bed with me. He wrapped me within his warm embrace and stroked my hair until my eyes felt too heavy and I was drawn down into a deep dreamless sleep. Then when I awoke he was still there beside me except my head was resting on his chest and my own arms wrapped around his trim waist. I listened to his heart beat and was content to just lay there and not worry that the gang might kill me in my sleep or that when Heero noticed that I was awake if he would shove me away.
My first indication that he was awake was when his fingers started to tangle in my hair and tighten his hold on me. My body started to tense in response, after being undercover and receiving only harsh touches, my skin didn't realize that Heero's touch was welcome.
I felt his lips kiss my forehead, which was a shock at first, but it brought a warm blush to my cheeks.
“Did you have a good sleep?” Heero asked in the quiet of the morning.
“Yeah. Best one I've had in ages.”
“You know, I got that letter you sent.”
I tensed even more thinking Heero was going to tell me he didn't love me. He just wanted to be my friend, but then why was he still holding me?
“Why didn't you tell me before? Why send that letter to me after knowing your cover was blown?”
“I thought that you would be disgusted with me. That you wouldn't be my partner any more.”
“You were worried that I would shove you away?” I nodded against his shoulder. “Duo, you're my best friend. We tell each other everything, so why couldn't you tell me you loved me? I love you, Duo. I have always cared about you after I got to know you during the war, but I never had the chance to tell you.” He startled me by rolling us over and kissed me then. Our first real kiss and I couldn't help but be over-powered by it. His lips and tongue caressing mine, easing my lips open and letting me taste him as I returned his kisses. When he started to pull back I felt the bulge of evidence nudging against my own that he meant every word. “I love you and I'm so glad you lived through that horror so I could tell you that to your face.”
He left me speechless as I tugged him down for another kiss, just enjoying the feel of him on top of me. I couldn't help but wonder in the back of my mind if he would over power me this way as well. I didn't think my body could handle it after being worked over by the gang or even bear it mentally after having Heero taunt at me with his cruel words just to make the gang think I was his property.
I think I just went limp with those thoughts swirling through my head. Heero felt it and pulled back to look at me. What he saw must have scared him, but he covered it quickly with a smile.
“Don't worry. We'll take our time discovering that aspect of our relationship at a later date.” I sighed in relief and he just smirked before leaning down to kiss me once more. He was willing to wait for me. Willing to let me heal and accept my love for him. It was all I could hope for and more. And I'm so glad I lived through the mission so he could tell me he loved me too.
End.
