Falling In Love
by Elvis Presley Lyrics are in italics
She hid in the shadows, watching him, trying to figure him out. She could read him so well, but to actually sit back and try to figure him out was proving to be more difficult than she had anticipated. She looked on as he entered his little apartment, the one he had obtained for himself during this mission. His shadow moved across the curtained window as he sat down at his 'puter and began to work.
'I really shouldn't be here, spying on him like this.' she tried to reason with herself, 'But I feel the need to know him more.' She watched with rapt attention as his silohette stood and moved to leave again. 'But why?'
She watched him leave, but didn't follow him this time. Instead, she drew a shaky deep breath and stealthily infiltrated his apartment building.
When she reached his door, she tried the doorknob. The door was locked. Not that she would expect anything less, really, from him, and besides, she came prepared. She pulled out her lockpicking tools and set to fast work. In mere seconds the locked door was unlocked. She suffered her usual flash of painful memories, but pressed on.
Slowly opening the door, she slipped in quietly and scanned the darkened room. She assessed she was in his living room. The furniture was the kind one might find in dumpsters after college students moved out of dorms, mismatched and well worn.
Locking the door behind her, she proceeded to slink further into the apartment. She hadn't gotten too far when she heard a key in the lock. In less than a heart's beat, she was well hidden.
Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you
He opened the door, stepped into the apartment and turned on the light, closing and locking the door behind himself. She silently cursed herself for being so careless. She hadn't checked to see where he was going, but had made the assumption that he would be out longer than he had been.
He strode over to his laptop and sat in front of it. She was granted the perfect view of his every angle, and she thanked the Goddess for the mirror he had placed behind him. She knew she wouldn't be leaving anytime soon, so she settled herself and commenced her study.
Barely any time had passed when he looked up sharply, his dark brown hair flying into his cobalt eyes. She nearly gasped when his eyes locked on hers. A sense of dread filled her being as he stood, his eyes never leaving hers, and walked in her direction.
He stopped just in front of her and she stopped breathing. She hoped she was hiding in the shadows well enough that he couldn't see her. In fact, as he raised his hand, she knew it. Slowly, even slower as time slowed, his hand reached into her shadows and touched her cheek. In one quick motion, he had his hand on the back of her head and had pulled her foreward into the lights. She reacted as if he had struck her. She crumpled to the floor.
"What the hell are you doing here?" He hissed at her. Keeping her eyes averted, she shrugged. His hands were gentle as they lifted her from the floor to stand on her feet. She looked up at him in surprise at his gentleness and his tone. "Fallyn. Why are you here?"
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
She couldn't stand the way he was looking at her with his beautiful eyes. She didn't realize what she was doing till she felt the softness and the warmth of his lips. She froze, not wanting to part, not wanting to press further. His lips against hers were so gentle. She didn't move, not wanting to lose the moment to the anger she feared would be in his eyes. But, sooner than she wanted to, she pulled back, lowering her eyes so she wouldn't have to see the hatred in his and mumbled an apology.
"Doesn't sound like your heart's in that." he whispered at her. Against her better judgement, her head snapped up, her amethyst eyes wide in surprise. In the instant her eyes met his, her heart went to him.
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
Slowly, he leaned into her, his gentle breath fanning out over her lips. She gasped softly as his lips brushed against hers. Her eyes slid closed and she welcomed him. The tip of his tongue touched her lips, and she parted to admit him entrance. An invitation he fiercely accepted.
Without taking his lips from hers, he lifted her lithe body into his arms. She wasn't aware of the shift from light to dark. All she was aware of was his lips on hers, gentle one minute, demanding the next, and yet still amazing her.
She felt him lay her down softly and gently onto something she could only guess at. He left her mouth to trail burning kisses down her neck. She unconsciously tilted her head to allow him full access to it. He didn't stop, though, when he should have hit her collar. And he wasn't on cloth.
Her eyes flew open in surprise when his fingers trailed over her breasts, followed by his mouth. Before she could protest, her mind fled the onslaught of sensations, leaving her vulnerable to his every touch and suggestion.
Take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
His body was warm against hers, his skin radiating a gentle heat that surrounded her in its entirety. His hands were everywhere on her body, touching her with feather-light caressess, finding all her zones.
Likewise, though, were her hands on his body, caressing him with touches like a gentle breeze, finding all his erogenous areas and exploiting them. She knew, deep in her heart, that she wouldn't be letting him do this to her if she hadn't fallen in love with him.
"Heero." she breathed, breathlessly. "Heero. I want you. I need you. Please." He paused and looked down into her amethyst eyes, his own cobalt darkened to midnight with desire and a different, softer emotion.
In her nearly black-colored eyes he saw desire, lust, and an emotion he felt certain was love. "Are you sure?" He felt like a fool for asking her that question. 'You idiot! Don't give her an escape! You know you won't be able to hold back if she says no!!' he mentally berated himself. But to his surprise, she nodded. "I'm certain of it." was the response he nearly missed.
Within moments, he was poised between her legs. She didn't remember him removing his clothes, and she knew she would have remembered doing it if she had. But her mind stopped thinking as he pressed gently into her. She tried to move against him, to make him enter her quickly, but he would have none of it. So she laid back, frustrated, and allowed him to set the pace.
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
He found a rhythm he hoped would satisfy her before his own release, which he knew he wouldn't be able to hold off for too long. She was so damned tight! But he was soon rewarded for both his control and his choice. She moaned under him, her back arching, her fingertips digging into the skin of his upper arms as he held himself above her, pounding into her with unbridled desire.
Her muscles tightened around him as wave after wave of pleasure washed over her. Her spasming muscles pulled him, coaxed him, demanded his release. He could do no less than oblige her body's demand.
Her muscles tightened mercilessly around him as he released himself into her, moaning her name into the darkness. He thought he heard his name coaxed from her lips as he continued to move inside her. Slowly, their bodies spent, they floated down from their fall.
Without thinking about it, he laid on the bed and pulled her close to him, placing her head on his shoulder, her hair fanning out behind her. 'I wonder when it fell out of her braid?' he idly asked himself, not fully expecting an answer.
Take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
for I can't help falling in love with you
"Heero?" she whispered into his chest. His arms tightened around her, pulling her closer still. She felt, more than heard, his "Hmm?". She snuggled closer to him, feeling the comfort in his embrace. "I love you."
He looked down at the top of her head, surprised to hear those words out of her mouth. He thought she was in love with Duo, not him. But he pulled her closer, his heart revealing its own revelations for him. "I love you, too, Fallyn."
