OK, it's a bit odd and it's one of my expriments with first person. I
hope it came out right.

{Catherine watches as the injured Heero struggles to stand up on his
own and quickly moves to his side. He glares at her, but she ignores
it, continuing to rattle on happily. Her arm tightens almost
innocently around his waist.}
You’re the silent type
And you caught my eye
But I never thought that I’d be touchin’ you
{Heero sits on the bed, watching Catherine with a puzzled look on his
face. There was just something about her...}
How was I to know
I’d let my feelin’s go
{Catherine sets down a bowl of soup before the silent pilot, then gives
in to the urge to press her lips to his in a quick chaste kiss.
Quickly, she pulls away, intending to escape. But before she can get
too far, an iron hand clamps down on her arm. She turns to find Heero
staring at her expressionlessly. She begins to worry her bottom lip
nervously. Heero suddenly reaches out, cupping her cheek in one hand.}
And that I’d be yours before the night was through
One night love affair
{She saw something flare in his dark Prussian blue eyes and he leaned
forward to capture her lips in a far from innocent kiss. She
imediantly melts against him, wanting this, needing to surrender to
this silent boy.}
Tryin’ to make like we don’t care
We were both reachin’ out for somethin’
One night love affair
{Heero closes his eyes as he pulls her close, needing the feel of
another body against his, needing to afirm that he was still alive. He
wasn't sure exactly who was using who, but he realizes it didn't
matter. When she openes her mouth to say something, he takes advantage
of it to kiss her deeper.}
Pretendin’ it ain’t there
Oh - and now we’re left with nothin’
When the mornin’ breaks
We go our separate ways
{She whimpers softly against his lips, running her fingers across bare
flesh as he strips her. She tries not to think about the morning, when
he would leave with Trowa. Tonight, he was hers, and she was his.
That was all that mattered.}
If the night was made for love it ain’t for keeps
But I lose control
As I watch you go
All my senses say I’m in this much too deep
{Catherine watches as Trowa drives off with Heero in the passenger
seat. Her teasing goodbye was the only way she could hide the feelings
that were making her tremble inside. The ringmaster comes over to
comfort her, thinking it is Trowa that she will miss. But a pair of
burning blue eyes had fastened themselves forever on her heart.}
Now you’re outa reach
One night love affair
{She stares out the window, remembering her one night of paradise. She
sighs softly, leaning against the glass. Heero was far out of her
reach and not likely to come back anytime soon. She had thought that
after one night together, she could get over her crush for the silent
pilot. Now, she isn't so sure.}
Tryin’ to make like we don’t care
We were both reachin’ out for somethin’
One night love affair
{She closes her eyes, seeing again the look on his face as he
surrendered and reached for her. She had known even then that he
didn't feel much for her. She sighs, wishing he was there with her.
Then, she wouldn't feel so alone.}
Pretendin’ we don’t care
Oh - and now we’re left nothin’
{Heero stares out the window as he and Trowa travel to talk to the next
person on his list. For some reason, he was having trouble getting the
girl from the circus out of his mind. He should have forgotten her as
soon as they drove away.}
One night love affair
Tryin’ to make like we don’t care
{He shook his head, trying to concentrate on what Trowa was saying. It
didn't matter what had happened, she was now part of his past.}
We were both reachin’ out for somethin’
One night love affair
{Still, everytime he closes his eyes he sees passion-filled blue eyes
and feels her body against his own.}
Sometimes life ain’t fair
Oh - and now we’re left with nothin’
{She smiles sadly and turns away from the window. She feels so alone
without him, but he was never her's to begin with. She has her
memories, and has to be content with that.}
{Heero closes his eyes and leans against the door. The memory of her
warmth would keep him warm on the cold nights ahead. And maybe
someday, he would know what he was reaching for.}
