Pairing: Yuy/Maxwell
Warnings: It's not who you think it is!
Maxwell fingered the stitches on his shoulder. He knew he shouldn't be touching them, but it was itchy. The door glided open, and Maxwell quickly dropped his hand from the healing wound.
"You shouldn't touch it," Yuy said, "it will heal right over your fingers."
"What a lovely thought," Maxwell laughed and started to put his shirt back on, but Yuy stopped him. His hand roamed lightly across Maxwell's chest.
"You'd be a priest if it weren't for me, wouldn't you?" Yuy touched the golden cross dangling from Maxwell's neck.
"I would never be able to stay celibate with you around," Maxwell smiled and shook his head.
"You really should be more careful." Yuy touched the tender skin around the wound, and Maxwell gasped lightly.
"Follow your own advice, and then I will," Maxwell caught the hand and brought it around his waist, pulling himself into Yuy's embrace.
"Do you really have to try to get yourself assigned to the most dangerous war zones?" Yuy tightened the hold.
"I'm an aid worker, Heero. I go where I'm needed," Maxwell held Yuy's gaze. "Just like you do."
"I have twelve security guards circling me like bees! I think I will be alright!" Yuy lightly stroked Maxwell's face with his other hand. "You are getting scruffy."
"I've been on L2 for four days. There's a shortage of water. I certainly wasn't going to waste it on shaving-" Yuy swallowed the next words as he pressed his lips securely on Maxwell's mouth.
"It's a good look for you," Yuy whispered, his voice more raspy than usual. "That good Catholic boy look always makes me want to go to confession after we make love."
"Note to self. Get scruffy before making love to Heero Yuy-" Another kiss, more forceful, less chaste than the previous one.
"You. Are. Scruffy. Now," Yuy said as he kissed down Maxwell's neck.
"We are landing on L1 in fifteen minutes," Maxwell hoped that his voice didn't sound as breathy as it did in his own ears.
"We used to manage in much less time in the boys' bathroom," Yuy smiled as he slowly unbuttoned Maxwell's pants.
Maxwell chuckled, "Thank God Father Collins never found us."
"You didn't confess to him afterwards?" Yuy started to unbutton his own shirt. Maxwell slapped his hands away and undressed his lover himself.
"Of course not. If I had confessed to him, we would have been kicked out of school," Maxwell slipped off Yuy's shirt. "I'm a devout Catholic, Yuy, not stupid."
Yuy cupped Maxwell's face with his hands, "marry me, and we will stop living in sin."
"Heero, you know we can't," Maxwell looked away, "it would hurt your career too much-"
"Those narrow-minded bastards can go to hell for all I care..." Maxwell placed his hand over Yuy's mouth.
"You are the colonies' one chance for peace, Heero," Maxwell said. "You need to be where you are."
"That's a lot of weight to put on my shoulders," Yuy sighed.
"You have broad shoulders," Maxwell's hand stroked the now bared skin. "And if it gets too heavy, you can always lean on me."
Before Maxwell could react, suddenly Yuy pressed him against the wall and Yuy's lips crushed against Maxwell's mouth. Yuy's long limbs firmly encircled him, until Maxwell could barely tell where his skin ended and Yuy's began.
"God, what did I ever do to deserve you?" Yuy managed to ask between hungry kisses.
"Is that your way of asking me to praise all your excellent qualities?" Maxwell whispered into Yuy's ear. "Well, aside from being the most decent man I know, there were those bathroom interludes during school, and-" Yuy's mouth made Maxwell forget the rest of the sentence.
"God, I... I want you to be--" Yuy muttered softly.
"I know, and that's enough for me."
The End
