*Disclaimers- All comments & criticism welcome! (How can I get better without feedback?!) *S* aaeth@hotmail.com Gundam Wing Does NOT belong to me! The story is mine! The characters aren't. Much to my dismay.... BTW The song lyrics are by Bruce Cockburn. "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" belongs to him.

{Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open your eyes}

I don't want to leave our bed. I snuggle up to his warm body and struggle to go back to sleep.

{One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all}

But its just no use. I have to settle for watching him sleep. The harsh lines of his face even out in sleep and he looks so innocent.

{When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time}

I wish we could be innocent. I wish we didn't have to fight, and we only worried about normal teenager things- not when the next mission would come. Not worrying that this might be the last time I get to see him like this.

{These fragile bodies of touch and taste}

He doesn't think I'm awake. But I take the opportunity to enjoy being with him... without the noise. Not that I would change him, but sometimes that mouth of his-

{This vibrant skin, this hair like lace}

I'm not complaining about his mouth! Hell no. When he lets down his hair and leans over me, sometimes I think his mouth could lead a saint to sin. And I'm no saint.

{Spirits open to the thrust of grace}

Of course, not being a saint, his mouth leads to other things… things that result in one of us being sore the next day.

{Never a breath you can afford to waste}

He said something about going out today. I don't think I want to. I don't want to share him with anyone.

{When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time}

Our time together is so precious. I want to spend it wrapped up in his hair, sprawled out on this bed. Is that selfish of me? Oh well.

{When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime}

I know most people wouldn't consider our relationship 'normal' or 'healthy' but what's normal and healthy about being a Gundam Pilot? When have I cared what other people thought of me? I never have. Never will. So I hold on to his hand tighter was we walk through the park.

{But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
You gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight}

So what if we get catcalls and stares? It's a beautiful day and I want to spend it with my lover. I pried him from the motel room, and I'm going to enjoy every minute.

{When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time}

We can only live for today. Cuz we can't predict tomorrow. And I don't want to have any regrets.

{When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time}

As the sun sets before us I look over to his lovely face and pull him closer.

"Absolutely no regrets."
