Summary: “I’ll never know why I adore you so.”


“So this is where you’ve been hiding.”

Relena didn’t bother to look up from her book, even when the door to her hotel room clicked shut and Dorothy flounced over to drop into the armchair next to her. Elbows on the arm of the chair, Dorothy cradled her chin in both palms and stared intently at Relena; Relena kept reading.

“It’s Friday night, we’re in one of the most delightful cities in the Earthsphere, we’re young and beautiful and rich, and you’re sitting in your hotel room reading a book!”

“We’re here for work, Dorothy—or at least I am. Not to go out on the town.”

Dorothy heaved a dramatic sigh and got up from the chair in order to rifle through the mini-bar Relena had not touched. “All work and no play makes Relena a dull girl,” she sniffed. “And it makes me bored.”

“Poor darling,” Relena replied, turning a page. “It’s been a long day and I happen to find this relaxing.”

Dorothy returned to her chair with a bottle of white wine and a glass. Pouring herself a drink, she set the bottle down on the table between them, next to a dish of chocolates Relena had been nibbling on throughout her stay. “Sitting in a bar drinking strawberry daiquiris and breaking the hearts of silly young men is relaxing.”

“Don’t let me keep you from it, then.”

Dorothy huffed to herself and drank her wine, occasionally interspersing sips with a chocolate. Content Dorothy was being relatively quiet, Relena returned her full attention to the book. Silence reigned for several minutes, until Dorothy set her glass down on the table, clinking it softly against the wine bottle.

“You’re desperately boring,” she said, getting to her feet and planting her hands on the armrests of Relena’s chair, bending over so they were nose to nose. Her hair draped over her shoulders, obscuring the pages of Relena’s book. “I’ll never know why I adore you so.”

Before Relena could respond, Dorothy ducked forward and pressed her lips to Relena’s, their noses bumping before Dorothy found the correct angle. She tasted of wine and chocolate and she pulled away just as Relena was thinking about giving in and returning the kiss.

“I’ll leave you to your reading,” Dorothy purred, smiling her cat-in-the-cream smile. Shoving away from the chair, she languidly flipped her hair over her shoulder and headed for the door.

Relena watched her go with a bemused smile and a raised eyebrow. After a few minutes passed and it became clear Dorothy had no intention of returning, Relena shook her head and continued reading.
