1xH again... whoa. ^^;;;
Am I getting obsessed? O_o
And it's turning into 1x2xH, YAY!!
Updated ^^;
Hilde: *separates quickly, grumbling a little under her breath* Leave it to Duo to interrupt at the most inopportune time. *sighing, she clicks on the vid-link, bringing the braided man's face to the screen* Whaddya want, Maxwell?
Duo: *grins boyishly from his monitor* Heya, Hilde; Heero. Just callin' to see how you guys were doing on the mission.
Heero: *looks up to meet Duo's eyes... then flushes and lowers his eyes, because he can't help but think about what he learned*
Heero: *he just can't meet duo's eyes right now. How can he look so.. so normal?! He just shattered Heero's little world.*
Hilde: We're doing fine without you. *she ribs Heero lightly with her elbow* Right? At least we haven't managed to set the ship on fire like you did.
Duo: *coughs at the sudden memory* Hey, how was I supposed to know that the microwave was going to catch fire?
Heero: *snorts, amused, and manages to relax. Somehow Hilde's presence gives him the support he needs* Because everything you touch can catch fire, even things that aren't supposed to. It's a law.
Duo: *a smirk grows over his face* Yeah, Hilde-babe can attest to that! *he wiggles his eyebrows suggestively*
Hilde: *rolls her eyes in response, even though she's blushing* Shut up, you idiot. I do not "catch fire." *sniffing, she turns to Heero* Besides, we have news for you?
Duo: *sobers, though an expectant smile touches his face* Oh yeah?
Heero: *flushes slightly and looks down again, fidgeting nervously. He waits for Hilde to tell Duo, because there's no way he can*
Hilde: *takes Heero's hand off-screen and gives it a little squeeze* You're one lucky bastard, Maxwell, you know. Sometimes, your ideas are just crazy enough to work.
Duo: *snorts, floored despite having hoped for this outcome. Turning a little red, he glances at Heero through the monitor* You're okay with it, Heero, buddy?
Heero: *forces himself to look up and meet duo's eyes and gives him a crooked little smile* I guess. You could have told me earlier, though.
Duo: *snorts again before giving a whoop of laughter* I would have if I could have, buddy. But, man... *he grins* ...you two are getting along then?
Hilde: *coughs lightly before turning to Heero* After we nearly killed each other, sure.
Heero: *chuckles as he remembers the kissing* You could call it that way. *still a little flustered*
Heero: *gives them both a serious look* I have to warn you, though. I have no clue what I'm doing, what to expect. And I'm not going to... to open up in one day. You'll have to be patient.
Duo: *shares a look with Hilde and nods resolutely* No problem there, man. I still don't have a clue as to how this is going to work out, so going slow is a good idea. *he scratches the back of his head* So, I take it that you two haven't... eh... you know, yet?
Hilde: *flushes pink* Duo, you really need to learn to shut up while you're ahead.
Heero: *scowls at Duo, flustered* Don't see what you're talking about.
Duo: *looks at Hilde and gestures for her to shoo*
Hilde: *sighs and rolls her eyes* Yes, Your Highn-ASS. I will go and do something else while you two big manly men talk shop. *giving Heero's hand one last squeeze, she lifts up out of the chair and heads out of the cockpit*
Duo: *waits until the door closes behind her before looking at Heero* What I meant to say was that I'm surprised Hilde hasn't gotten you in bed yet. *winces as he finishes the sentence, realizing how bad that probably sounded* Err...
Heero: *gives hilde a lost look, feeling a little tense, then sighs and turns back to Duo. It's still Duo, and he's still his best friend ever, and even though he wants more he would never do anything to hurt him. And maybe wanting more isn't a problem*
Heero: *snorts and relaxes--yep, it's Duo all right.* We just... kissed. And then you called, so it's your fault if nothing else happened.
Heero: *smirks a little*
Duo: *shifts back in his seat, searching for a more comfortable position* That's cool. *tucking an arm behind his head, he looks at something off-screen a moment before turning his gaze back to Heero* I was just a little worried about her, because I know it's kinda been a long time for her. Our schedules prevented anything from happening between the two of us for a couple of weeks before she had to go on this month-long mission. *frowning, he props a leg across his opposite knee* Did she seem like she was... I dunno, holding back or something?
Heero: *puzzled, thinks about it* Umm. Holding back what exactly? Because we might have gone farther, but -- I don't think it' the right time nor the right place.
Duo: *bites his lip* Yeah, that's good. I'm just worried that she's about ready to pop, you know? *sighing, he scratches his head* It's really lame of me to leave her hanging like that for so long.
Heero: *tilts head on the side* What can I do, though? *hopes duo isn't going to laugh, but he doesn't know anything about that sort of stuff*
Duo: *blinks a moment, actually surprised that Heero would feel confident enough to offer* Well, how far did you two get when kissing? Did you seem to find any spots she responded to? Hilde's always been pretty sensitive on her neck - did you try there?
Heero: *nods* I found that alone, thank you for your precious help. *gently teasing*
Duo: *a smirk tugs his lips* Well, basically, all you have to do is find places like that and keep at them. *closes one eye, thinking of how insane this seems, to ask his friend - a virgin, no less - to take care of his girl for him* If you can get her hot enough, she'll either deck you and leave, or if you're lucky, she'll just outright jump your bones.
Heero: *flushes a little and coughs in his hand* I told you I don't want to go that far, Duo. Not yet. Besides, we'll be there in *checks the clock* four hours and a half. You better be there to greet us and help move my stuff. *not that he has much...* Once we're at your home, well.. we'll see.
Duo: *holds his hands up* Hey, you asked... And just what do you mean I better be there to help move your stuff? *playfully sticks his tongue out at him*
Heero: *blinks, then realizes how it sounds for someone like duo* Pervert!!
Heero: *growls threateningly* Oh, I'm going to buy you a chastity belt!
Heero: That will teach you. *crosses his arms on his chest, huffing*
Duo: Hey, your loss. *winks at him* Well, and Hilde's. Which definitely will not make her happy. I'd suggest moving off the colony in that case.
Heero: *sticks his tongue out at duo* I'll be there to take care of her. We don't need you.
Heero: *refrains from adding a childish"so there" , but barely*
Duo: *raises an eyebrow and grins* You'll be telling a different story if I should just so happen to show up at the docking bay naked.
Heero: *is stupid enough to imagine the scene and flushes bright red*
Heero: ... I hate you.
Duo: *stretches* I know. And you're going to kill me too, right? *he grins, settling back in his chair* Look, just... I dunno. Try to do something for Hilde. Keep an eye on her, I guess. I won't be able to do anything about it myself for another four hours or whenever the hell you guys are going to get in. In the meantime, I better cut this call, otherwise the charges are going to drive me into the poor house.
Heero: *nods curtly* I'll do my best. See you in four hours.
Duo: Later, Heero. *and with that, he cuts the connection*
Heero: *cuts the connection and verifies the course, then gets up to search for Hilde. Where did she say she'd be again?*
Heero: *calls out as he searches for her* Hilde?
Hilde: *is at the back of the ship, sprawled out on her bunk with the lights off, trying to get some shut-eye*
Heero: *pauses at the door, unwilling to disturb her. he looks at her for a long moment, trying to understand how she managed to become such a big part of his life so fast. But he likes her, so it's okay, he guesses.*
Heero: *... her position is also mildly arousing to him, though he's not really sure why--maybe because it displays her lithe body better. He wonders what she would do if he crawled in bed with her*
Hilde: *yawns and toes her boots off, hoping to get more comfortable in the small space. She knows Heero's outside her door - she heard his footsteps, but he's hesitating again, and she's a little annoyed at this* What's up, Heero? Duo wants to grace me with his conversation again? *her tone is sarcastic, but is directed at her braided partner*
Heero: *blinks, then shakes his head. she was a soldier, of course she couldhear him* No, he cut the connection. It was getting expensive. He'll pick us up when we arrive. *coughs, and wonders if he should mention what he asked* ... Duo suggested that I *cough* take care of you needs. *uses a light, amused tone, so that if she wants to take it as a joke she can. He's not even sure of what he wants himself.*
Heero: He's such a pervert. *shakes his head*
Hilde: *scowls in the dark, midly irritated that Duo would be coward enough to ask such a request from Heero* Remind me to kick him when he picks us up. Criminy, he acts as if I can't take care of myself, as if I'm a slave to my desires and can't control myself. *grumbling, she rests the palm of one hand on her face* He's the one that thinks with his dick.
Heero: *fidgets a little, thinking that he handled it badly. But he has no clue what makes Hilde tick! Girls are so complicated.* ... He missed you, that's all.
Hilde: *sighs and rolls over onto her side* I know. It's just annoying sometimes. *fluffing the pillow under her head, she adds* I told you that he can be a mother hen sometimes, and if there's one thing I hate, it's being treated like a baby. The guys in the military used to do that all the time just because I was one of the few female cadets, and it drove me up a wall.
Heero: *blinks and leans against the wall as he thinks about it* But isn't it natural to want to take care of the people you care about? It isn't surprotecting you or babying you. He just wants to be nice. *frowns a little, wondering if she'll blow up at him if he feels like doing something nice*
Heero: *it's going to be hard to be in a relationship with her*
Hilde: *admits that he's right - in a way - and inhales* Yeah. It's just annoying sometimes.
Heero: *pushes away from the wall to leave. she's visibly not in a socializing mood and he doesn't like the idea of having an argument with her. Plus he needs his space a lot, so he can understand.*
Hilde: *seeing him start to leave, she's surprised at the sadness that suddenly twinges inside of her* Hey, Heero?
Heero: *pauses and looks at her* Yeah?
Hilde: *tucks a hand under her chin* Look, if the auto-pilot's still running, you might as well try to get some rest. Maybe we could try and talk for a little while first? Get to know each other so that it's not so awkward when Duo meets up with us?
Heero: *smiles at her, relieved* Sure. ... where? *isn't sure he can sit on her bed. that's kind of personal space*
Heero: *steps closer hesitantly, looking around for a chair*
Hilde: *considers a moment* You can crawl up on your bunk, I guess. Unless you want to, uhm, cuddle. *she looks away, a little embarrassed by that chink in her armor*
Heero: *they won't be able to talk if he's up there... He decides to stop acting so shy and sits down on her bed, crawling back until he's leaning against the wall. He's close,but not touching, if she wants more she's going to have to initiate it because he's not sure he isn't already going too far*
Hilde: *is a little surprised at Heero's sudden decision to crawl into bed with her, as it looked like he was trying to find some safe, neutral territory to park at* So, I think we left off on the "what's your favorite" stage still... *there's a little awkwardness there still between them. She shifts onto her back so that she can look at him from the side, but she's unsure of if he's open to physical contact with how he's pressed against the wall*
Heero: *squirms a little so he's sitting crosslegged as he thinks* ... I'm not aware of a lot of favorites I have, so... *shrug again, giving her a sheepish look. she's going to have to find a subject of conversation again*
Hilde: *smiles fondly, groping aound for another topic* You've known Duo longer than I have, though.
Heero: Yeah. *little smile*
Heero: Did he tell you about how we met? *thinks he probably has*
Hilde: *grins, only half her face showing in the dark* You mean the whole deal with Relena?
Heero: *nods*
Hilde: Yeah. He told me that out of all the pink she normally wears, she looks halfway decent.
*when out of all the pink
Heero: *chuckles* I wouldn't know. I don't really notice that stuff.
Hilde: *chuckles* This coming from the man that just complimented me on the fit of my uniform less than a half-hour ago.
Heero: *snorts* I don't notice them on Relena.
Heero: ... and she always wears either skirts or suits. I don't really like those. *shugs*
Hilde: *plays devil's advocate* But isn't a uniform a kind of suit? Maybe I should try on one of those frilly Sanc things and, if I don't die from all the ruffles, see what you think. *she flashes him a wink*
Heero: *considers it* Well, they have tight pants.
Heero: *it's weird, he's starting to have fun*
Heero: I don't know why I don't -- well, it isn't that i think that they don't fit Relena. They do. I just don't like those kinds of businessman suits.
Hilde: *snickers* So you're a leg man, are you? *she stretches her own, suddenly aware of how short she is* Err... well, I guess you'll at least be able to oggle Duo with that.
Heero: *laughs softly, amused at her sudden self-consciousness* Actually...
Hilde: *blushes in the dark* Actually what, Soldier Boy?
Heero: The problem with relena's body isn't her legs. It's her *cough* womanly curves. *imitates Wufei's tone* She isn't fat or anything, but she's just not my type.
Heero: .. and I like your legs just fine. *amused, puts a hand on her ankle teasingly*
Hilde: *snorts, able to hear the Chinese pilot in him* That's a pretty good imitation. *all this time, she's thanking whatever god is up there for the fact that it's dark enough Heero can't see her going beet red*
Heero: From what I hear in the locker rooms, on that point I must be quite abnormal for a guy.
Hilde: *blinks and feels the tips of her ears start burning* What, that you can do a good impersonation of Wufei?
Heero: *snorts* that i don't lose it over women with big breasts.
Heero: *can hear the unease in her voice and smirks, enjoying teasing her.*
Hilde: *shifts a little, crossing her arms over her own small chest* Yeah, Duo always wondered how you were able to handle yourself so professionally while around Sally.
Heero: *laughs softly* Sally is very professional around me. I can only do the same. She's an agent before she's a woman. And also the fact that hers are frankly too big.
Heero: ... though they have nothing on Trowa's sister's. *remembers the clothes Catherine wears*
Heero: *... or lack thereof.*
Hilde: *sweatdrops, starting to feel mildly awkward* Catherine? I just want to know why the hot sibling couldn't be the one in the skimpy clothes.
Heero: *snorts* Trowa doesn't wear a shirt when he's on stage, you know.
Heero: Of course with the preventers regulations he can't do that in the building.
Hilde: *attempts her own WuFei impersonation* Injustice.
Heero: *her imitation makes him laugh--it's not exactly the right tone but it's going there* You know, he's often shirtless when we're on missions together. I don't know what he did with his self consciousness, but I haven't seen a lot of turtlenecks recently.
Hilde: *spaces out at the thought*
Heero: *pokes her knee* Hey, don't drool on Trowa. I'm going to feel rejected. *is surprised to realize that he does feel mildly jealous*
Hilde: *snaps out of her thoughts, a little flustered* Rejected? Ehh... no. I'll just need to see you shirtless to compare
Heero: *plays with the bottom of his shirt nervously, his heart suddenly going a lot faster than it's supposed to. He swallows nervously and glances at her, his lashes shadowing his eyes* ... you want to?
Hilde: *blinks, and her body tenses. She was just kidding him, but to have him actually take her seriously* ...uh, you sure you're comfortable with it? *it's a ditch, avoiding the direct question, but she doesn't want him to stop now*
Heero: *flushes a little. she's right, he IS moving fast, maybe a little too much.. but...* ... I don't know. You're not going to ravish me the second you see me shirtless or anything, are you?
Hilde: /'No, but maybe a good little nibble...'/ *she bites her lip* Maybe we shouldn't do this.
Heero: *sighs and slumps against the wall, losing his resolve* ... yeah.
Heero: *he's never been self conscious before. he has no body shyness to speak of. But it's different to be nude in front of people who don't care than to be nude in front of people who are attracted to you*
Heero: *even losing the shirt seems like an awfully big step*
Hilde: *looks at him, her eyes roaming over his clothed chest* Sorry, Heero. Don't think that I don't want to see, because I really do, but it's... not good for either of us right now.
Heero: You're right. *gives her a little smile to show that he really agrees*
Heero: *now he needs to change the subject, and badly* ... so. No ravishing. I guess I'll have to wait for that.
Hilde: *still feeling a little vulnerable, moves to curl up next to him* Yeah. Big disappointment, eh?
Heero: ... heh. *hesitates, then slides an arm around her shoulders* so, we were talking about what I like in a girl. what do you like in a boy?
Hilde: *caught a little off guard at the question, she has to think for a second* Well, I like guys who aren't intimidated by me. Both in the sense that they scurry like little mice, afraid, and in the sense that they have to act stupidly macho to prove that they're manlier than I for some reason. *she sweatdrops and fidgets - the topic always makes her feel uncomfortable for it points her out as some freak*
Heero: *nods--it makes sense. If he was a girl he would get pretty annoyed at guys who think she isn't competent enough and needs protection. As for macho guys, they irritate him*
Hilde: *ducks her head as she continues on* They have to be a little sweet too. I won't stand for guys who act like complete assholes and expect me to just take it.
Heero: *winces* ... I'm not too much of an asshole, am I?
Hilde: *had totally forgotten about that, gasps* Heero... Jesus, no. *embarrassed at her slip-up and making him feel like shit, she runs a hand through her bangs and pulls at them* Sorry.
Heero: *looks away, unsure that she's telling the truth. he was a real asshole around her during the return trip*
Hilde: *sighs, trying to clear her mistake from her mood* Heero, you're not an asshole. The fact that you're right here proves that. *worried that she's hurt him too much, she looks up at him* I told you that I don't like assholes. Therefore, you cannot be one.
Heero: *blinks---this is a very twisted logic, but he's used to duo-logic and according to those rules, it actually makes sense. Sort of. He smiles at her, just a shy, tiny smile* Well, good. *tightens his hold for a second, pulling her closer*
Hilde: *nestles against him, brushing her lips against his shoulder in apology* I also need someone who can put up with my tendency to stick my foot in my mouth. *she sweatdrops, hoping that maybe a little humor will help clear the air*
Heero: *chuckles softly, amused* Okay. I'll try.
Heero: *nuzzles her hair*
Hilde: *breathes lightly, her hair always having been one of her weak spots* Aside from that, I need someone who can challenge me, support me when needed, and love me. Oh, and don't forget the detail that they have to have a decent ass. *a hand trails down his back to cup over his behind and give him a little squeeze*
Heero: *surprised by the touch, but doesn't move away. he kind of likes it. He kisses her temple, holding her even more closely* I'll try...
Hilde: *is starting to feel pleasantly warm - warm enough that she's starting to get sleepy* Hey, want to sleep with me? *she winks at him*
Heero: *BLINK* um. *flushes*
Heero: *looks at the size of the bed* uhm... we can try, I guess. Good thing we're both slim.
Hilde: *chuckles lightly before yawning* Not that way, you pervert. *tilting her head to the side, she tries to bring the blanket up from the bottom of the bed with her toes* I was speaking purely in terms of needing a Heero-sized teddy bear. *she's having difficulty with the blanket*
Heero: *pulls on the blanket *
Heero: *lays down, still holding her, and covers them both with the blanket* I had understood that. And it's a good thing we're not fat or we couldn't fit in here.
Hilde: *playfully pokes him with a finger* Hey, watch who you're calling fat, Soldier Boy. *smiling, she settles down into the mattress, yawning again as she gets comfortable*
Heero: *it feels weird but good. he just hopes that he won't have a nightmare or dangerous reflexes if they move around. but he thinks he trusts her enough. it shouldn't be that dangerous*
Heero: *puts an arm behind his head and closes his eyes*
And it's turning into 1x2xH, YAY!!
Updated ^^;
Hilde: *separates quickly, grumbling a little under her breath* Leave it to Duo to interrupt at the most inopportune time. *sighing, she clicks on the vid-link, bringing the braided man's face to the screen* Whaddya want, Maxwell?
Duo: *grins boyishly from his monitor* Heya, Hilde; Heero. Just callin' to see how you guys were doing on the mission.
Heero: *looks up to meet Duo's eyes... then flushes and lowers his eyes, because he can't help but think about what he learned*
Heero: *he just can't meet duo's eyes right now. How can he look so.. so normal?! He just shattered Heero's little world.*
Hilde: We're doing fine without you. *she ribs Heero lightly with her elbow* Right? At least we haven't managed to set the ship on fire like you did.

Heero: *... her position is also mildly arousing to him, though he's not really sure why--maybe because it displays her lithe body better. He wonders what she would do if he crawled in bed with her*
Hilde: *yawns and toes her boots off, hoping to get more comfortable in the small space. She knows Heero's outside her door - she heard his footsteps, but he's hesitating again, and she's a little annoyed at this* What's up, Heero? Duo wants to grace me with his conversation again? *her tone is sarcastic, but is directed at her braided partner*
Heero: *blinks, then shakes his head. she was a soldier, of course she couldhear him* No, he cut the connection. It was getting expensive. He'll pick us up when we arrive. *coughs, and wonders if he should mention what he asked* ... Duo suggested that I *cough* take care of you needs. *uses a light, amused tone, so that if she wants to take it as a joke she can. He's not even sure of what he wants himself.*
Heero: He's such a pervert. *shakes his head*
Hilde: *scowls in the dark, midly irritated that Duo would be coward enough to ask such a request from Heero* Remind me to kick him when he picks us up. Criminy, he acts as if I can't take care of myself, as if I'm a slave to my desires and can't control myself. *grumbling, she rests the palm of one hand on her face* He's the one that thinks with his dick.
Heero: *fidgets a little, thinking that he handled it badly. But he has no clue what makes Hilde tick! Girls are so complicated.* ... He missed you, that's all.
Hilde: *sighs and rolls over onto her side* I know. It's just annoying sometimes. *fluffing the pillow under her head, she adds* I told you that he can be a mother hen sometimes, and if there's one thing I hate, it's being treated like a baby. The guys in the military used to do that all the time just because I was one of the few female cadets, and it drove me up a wall.
Heero: *blinks and leans against the wall as he thinks about it* But isn't it natural to want to take care of the people you care about? It isn't surprotecting you or babying you. He just wants to be nice. *frowns a little, wondering if she'll blow up at him if he feels like doing something nice*
Heero: *it's going to be hard to be in a relationship with her*
Hilde: *admits that he's right - in a way - and inhales* Yeah. It's just annoying sometimes.
Heero: *pushes away from the wall to leave. she's visibly not in a socializing mood and he doesn't like the idea of having an argument with her. Plus he needs his space a lot, so he can understand.*
Hilde: *seeing him start to leave, she's surprised at the sadness that suddenly twinges inside of her* Hey, Heero?
Heero: *pauses and looks at her* Yeah?
Hilde: *tucks a hand under her chin* Look, if the auto-pilot's still running, you might as well try to get some rest. Maybe we could try and talk for a little while first? Get to know each other so that it's not so awkward when Duo meets up with us?
Heero: *smiles at her, relieved* Sure. ... where? *isn't sure he can sit on her bed. that's kind of personal space*
Heero: *steps closer hesitantly, looking around for a chair*
Hilde: *considers a moment* You can crawl up on your bunk, I guess. Unless you want to, uhm, cuddle. *she looks away, a little embarrassed by that chink in her armor*
Heero: *they won't be able to talk if he's up there... He decides to stop acting so shy and sits down on her bed, crawling back until he's leaning against the wall. He's close,but not touching, if she wants more she's going to have to initiate it because he's not sure he isn't already going too far*
Hilde: *is a little surprised at Heero's sudden decision to crawl into bed with her, as it looked like he was trying to find some safe, neutral territory to park at* So, I think we left off on the "what's your favorite" stage still... *there's a little awkwardness there still between them. She shifts onto her back so that she can look at him from the side, but she's unsure of if he's open to physical contact with how he's pressed against the wall*
Heero: *squirms a little so he's sitting crosslegged as he thinks* ... I'm not aware of a lot of favorites I have, so... *shrug again, giving her a sheepish look. she's going to have to find a subject of conversation again*
Hilde: *smiles fondly, groping aound for another topic* You've known Duo longer than I have, though.
Heero: Yeah. *little smile*
Heero: Did he tell you about how we met? *thinks he probably has*
Hilde: *grins, only half her face showing in the dark* You mean the whole deal with Relena?
Heero: *nods*
Hilde: Yeah. He told me that out of all the pink she normally wears, she looks halfway decent.
*when out of all the pink
Heero: *chuckles* I wouldn't know. I don't really notice that stuff.
Hilde: *chuckles* This coming from the man that just complimented me on the fit of my uniform less than a half-hour ago.
Heero: *snorts* I don't notice them on Relena.
Heero: ... and she always wears either skirts or suits. I don't really like those. *shugs*
Hilde: *plays devil's advocate* But isn't a uniform a kind of suit? Maybe I should try on one of those frilly Sanc things and, if I don't die from all the ruffles, see what you think. *she flashes him a wink*
Heero: *considers it* Well, they have tight pants.
Heero: *it's weird, he's starting to have fun*
Heero: I don't know why I don't -- well, it isn't that i think that they don't fit Relena. They do. I just don't like those kinds of businessman suits.
Hilde: *snickers* So you're a leg man, are you? *she stretches her own, suddenly aware of how short she is* Err... well, I guess you'll at least be able to oggle Duo with that.
Heero: *laughs softly, amused at her sudden self-consciousness* Actually...
Hilde: *blushes in the dark* Actually what, Soldier Boy?
Heero: The problem with relena's body isn't her legs. It's her *cough* womanly curves. *imitates Wufei's tone* She isn't fat or anything, but she's just not my type.
Heero: .. and I like your legs just fine. *amused, puts a hand on her ankle teasingly*
Hilde: *snorts, able to hear the Chinese pilot in him* That's a pretty good imitation. *all this time, she's thanking whatever god is up there for the fact that it's dark enough Heero can't see her going beet red*
Heero: From what I hear in the locker rooms, on that point I must be quite abnormal for a guy.
Hilde: *blinks and feels the tips of her ears start burning* What, that you can do a good impersonation of Wufei?
Heero: *snorts* that i don't lose it over women with big breasts.
Heero: *can hear the unease in her voice and smirks, enjoying teasing her.*
Hilde: *shifts a little, crossing her arms over her own small chest* Yeah, Duo always wondered how you were able to handle yourself so professionally while around Sally.
Heero: *laughs softly* Sally is very professional around me. I can only do the same. She's an agent before she's a woman. And also the fact that hers are frankly too big.
Heero: ... though they have nothing on Trowa's sister's. *remembers the clothes Catherine wears*
Heero: *... or lack thereof.*
Hilde: *sweatdrops, starting to feel mildly awkward* Catherine? I just want to know why the hot sibling couldn't be the one in the skimpy clothes.
Heero: *snorts* Trowa doesn't wear a shirt when he's on stage, you know.
Heero: Of course with the preventers regulations he can't do that in the building.
Hilde: *attempts her own WuFei impersonation* Injustice.
Heero: *her imitation makes him laugh--it's not exactly the right tone but it's going there* You know, he's often shirtless when we're on missions together. I don't know what he did with his self consciousness, but I haven't seen a lot of turtlenecks recently.
Hilde: *spaces out at the thought*
Heero: *pokes her knee* Hey, don't drool on Trowa. I'm going to feel rejected. *is surprised to realize that he does feel mildly jealous*
Hilde: *snaps out of her thoughts, a little flustered* Rejected? Ehh... no. I'll just need to see you shirtless to compare
Heero: *plays with the bottom of his shirt nervously, his heart suddenly going a lot faster than it's supposed to. He swallows nervously and glances at her, his lashes shadowing his eyes* ... you want to?
Hilde: *blinks, and her body tenses. She was just kidding him, but to have him actually take her seriously* ...uh, you sure you're comfortable with it? *it's a ditch, avoiding the direct question, but she doesn't want him to stop now*
Heero: *flushes a little. she's right, he IS moving fast, maybe a little too much.. but...* ... I don't know. You're not going to ravish me the second you see me shirtless or anything, are you?
Hilde: /'No, but maybe a good little nibble...'/ *she bites her lip* Maybe we shouldn't do this.
Heero: *sighs and slumps against the wall, losing his resolve* ... yeah.
Heero: *he's never been self conscious before. he has no body shyness to speak of. But it's different to be nude in front of people who don't care than to be nude in front of people who are attracted to you*
Heero: *even losing the shirt seems like an awfully big step*
Hilde: *looks at him, her eyes roaming over his clothed chest* Sorry, Heero. Don't think that I don't want to see, because I really do, but it's... not good for either of us right now.
Heero: You're right. *gives her a little smile to show that he really agrees*
Heero: *now he needs to change the subject, and badly* ... so. No ravishing. I guess I'll have to wait for that.
Hilde: *still feeling a little vulnerable, moves to curl up next to him* Yeah. Big disappointment, eh?
Heero: ... heh. *hesitates, then slides an arm around her shoulders* so, we were talking about what I like in a girl. what do you like in a boy?
Hilde: *caught a little off guard at the question, she has to think for a second* Well, I like guys who aren't intimidated by me. Both in the sense that they scurry like little mice, afraid, and in the sense that they have to act stupidly macho to prove that they're manlier than I for some reason. *she sweatdrops and fidgets - the topic always makes her feel uncomfortable for it points her out as some freak*
Heero: *nods--it makes sense. If he was a girl he would get pretty annoyed at guys who think she isn't competent enough and needs protection. As for macho guys, they irritate him*
Hilde: *ducks her head as she continues on* They have to be a little sweet too. I won't stand for guys who act like complete assholes and expect me to just take it.
Heero: *winces* ... I'm not too much of an asshole, am I?
Hilde: *had totally forgotten about that, gasps* Heero... Jesus, no. *embarrassed at her slip-up and making him feel like shit, she runs a hand through her bangs and pulls at them* Sorry.
Heero: *looks away, unsure that she's telling the truth. he was a real asshole around her during the return trip*
Hilde: *sighs, trying to clear her mistake from her mood* Heero, you're not an asshole. The fact that you're right here proves that. *worried that she's hurt him too much, she looks up at him* I told you that I don't like assholes. Therefore, you cannot be one.
Heero: *blinks---this is a very twisted logic, but he's used to duo-logic and according to those rules, it actually makes sense. Sort of. He smiles at her, just a shy, tiny smile* Well, good. *tightens his hold for a second, pulling her closer*
Hilde: *nestles against him, brushing her lips against his shoulder in apology* I also need someone who can put up with my tendency to stick my foot in my mouth. *she sweatdrops, hoping that maybe a little humor will help clear the air*
Heero: *chuckles softly, amused* Okay. I'll try.
Heero: *nuzzles her hair*
Hilde: *breathes lightly, her hair always having been one of her weak spots* Aside from that, I need someone who can challenge me, support me when needed, and love me. Oh, and don't forget the detail that they have to have a decent ass. *a hand trails down his back to cup over his behind and give him a little squeeze*
Heero: *surprised by the touch, but doesn't move away. he kind of likes it. He kisses her temple, holding her even more closely* I'll try...
Hilde: *is starting to feel pleasantly warm - warm enough that she's starting to get sleepy* Hey, want to sleep with me? *she winks at him*
Heero: *BLINK* um. *flushes*
Heero: *looks at the size of the bed* uhm... we can try, I guess. Good thing we're both slim.
Hilde: *chuckles lightly before yawning* Not that way, you pervert. *tilting her head to the side, she tries to bring the blanket up from the bottom of the bed with her toes* I was speaking purely in terms of needing a Heero-sized teddy bear. *she's having difficulty with the blanket*
Heero: *pulls on the blanket *
Heero: *lays down, still holding her, and covers them both with the blanket* I had understood that. And it's a good thing we're not fat or we couldn't fit in here.
Hilde: *playfully pokes him with a finger* Hey, watch who you're calling fat, Soldier Boy. *smiling, she settles down into the mattress, yawning again as she gets comfortable*
Heero: *it feels weird but good. he just hopes that he won't have a nightmare or dangerous reflexes if they move around. but he thinks he trusts her enough. it shouldn't be that dangerous*
Heero: *puts an arm behind his head and closes his eyes*
