"You're doing that wrong."
I look over my shoulder, dropping the screwdriver to the floor. God, I knew it'd be him. Sighing, I prop myself up from a crouch and dust off my dirt-ridden pants in a futile attempt. Yep, somebody will be needing to do laundry this week, and that somebody would be me.
"Well if you're so smart, then why don't you do it yourself? If you want things done, you gotta do them yourself, you know."
He quirks an eyebrow at me and I pop my back in response. He walks over to my makeshift workspace and gently bumps me aside. "See? All these wires are wrong. The yellow one should attach to the green, and the black one with that blue one."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well let me see *you* bust your ass for over two hours trying to fix it," I retort. Hey, I gotta save a little of my pride.
"Give me those pliers."
"Huh? Oh, these?" I reach into my pocket and search through the abundance of tools I'd stuffed into it earlier. "Here. Heero Yuy: he can terrorize in a Gundam, blow up buildings, cock a gun at just about damn near anyone, *and* fix a broken down shuttle! You'd make a wonderful marketing ploy."
He gives no response but a low "Hn" and goes to work, while I intently watch.
Not the work. Him. God, I'd been wanting him so badly lately, I'm surprised I haven't jumped him by now. That rugged hair, those sinful eyes, that ripped bod, and a tight ass... Shit, you'd think he was more of a model than specially trained assassin. I lean over him, close to his face and using the power control box's door and his left shoulder as support. There's this intense look on his face, as if he'd have to self-destruct or something if he didn't correct the damn wiring. His muscles are taut, his eyes focused. And that damn spandex leaves nothing to the imagination!
I shift my weight, and try my best not to let the heat I feel rushing to my cheeks show.
"And this wire belongs in that circuit. No wonder we haven't reached L3 by now - only 30% of the power was reaching the main engine."
"Huh." I ever-so-slightly turn my eyes to him. His face is gently illuminated by the inside of the control box monitor's blue light. It falls on his cheek, across his bangs, and sits perfectly on his lips. His soft, tender, probably untouched, and utterly kissable lips... I jerk my head away. Unsexy thoughts, unsexy thoughts, *must* think unsexy thoughts! It's hard to when the person next to you basically exudes lust and sex appeal.
He turns an eye to me. "What?"
"N-nothing! Goddamn, Heero, why're you so on edge?" I stumble away, taking a few steps back and turn my defense mode on high.
He looks back at his work, exchanging the pliers for my abandoned screwdriver. "I'm on edge? You're the one who's been acting all strange, lately."
I gulp, "Am I?"
He sighs, drops the screwdriver, and props himself up to standing.
Hmm, déjà vu?
"Yes. You are. You think I haven't noticed? I'd be blind if I haven't noticed the little glances you've been giving me, or the way you've been spying on me when I work, or when you generally just *watch* me. So let's at it. What do you want?"
"I- uh-..." Suddenly, all the Maxwell vocabulary in me is gone. "I mean-... that is..."
He bounds over and stops right in front of me. Our noses practically touch. His hands come up around my head and for a minute I think he's about to strangle me.
He kissed me. His hands hold the backs of my head and neck, and all of a sudden my lips are ferociously locked with his. After a couple of seconds or so, he breaks off.
"There. That any better?"
I give him a sly smile. "Hardly."
He grins, and I know we won't be reaching L3 for a while.
