Thea walked slowly down the hall is a sleepy haze. Under normal circumstances, she would have a steaming cup of black coffee in her hands. Today, however, the coffee machine was not being cooperative and Thea was not is a good mood.
A meeting was scheduled to start in fifteen minutes. New mobile dolls had been discovered in the L2 area and it was the Preventer’s job to fix it. Scratch that, it was Thea’s job to fix it. “As if I didn’t have enough to deal with.” She muttered to herself as she continued to her office to pick up some data read outs. Upon arrival, she heard loud moans of passion coming from the other side of the hall. It was the office Blitz and Duo shared. ‘Do those two ever stop? It’s a wonder they get any work done.’
She walked to her desk and picked up the manila envelope that contained what she needed for the meeting. She turned to leave again and spotted the mini-fridge near the door. She hesitated a moment and then briskly walked toward it, jerking it open in a swift motion. Inside was nothing, save some ketchup and a large tub of mystery goop. She had been hoping for soda at least. Thea slammed the door shut in annoyance, muttered something about how the day was going strait to hell, and proceeded out the door, bound for the conference room.
Lady Une, Zechs, Ara, Heero, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei were already seated around the polished mahogany table. As Thea took the seat next to Ara and across from Wufei, Blitz and Duo made a hurried enterence. She gave them a dirty look, knowing what had kept them from being on time. Wryly, Thea thought, ‘I hate you.’ It was more jealousy than actual hatred. (And who wouldn’t be jealous of the girl who gets to fuck like a rabbit with Duo Maxwell?)
Lady Une rose from her seat. “Alright. Now that everyone is here,” she gave a stern look in Blitz and Duo’s direction, “let’s get started. Miss Inazuma.” Thea made no move to stand and continued to massage her temples in an attempt to ward off a migraine. “Miss Inazuma.” Une repeated, her voice beginning to show a hint of annoyance. Still, Thea made no motion towards standing. Une was about to repeat her name again when Wufei spoke up.
“Onna!” He yelled rather potently. Thea raised her head, giving him a look to rival any of Heero’s patented death glares. Wufei returned it. Une warded off the battle. “Miss Inazuma.” She said in her normal rigid manner. “If you please.” She made a motion towards the large screen on one end of the room.
Thea muttered something inaudible and rose from her chair. Walking to the screen, she pressed a few buttons on the table. A picture of several mobile dolls came onto the screen. “These,” she began, “Are the new mobile dolls that were found near L2 three days ago. As you might have already guessed, they need to be eliminated. After much deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that the best way to do so, is a surprise attack on the base that is housing them.”
Thea pressed another button and the picture changed to an overhead view of a base. Picking up a laser pointer, she turned back to the screen and began speaking again. “This,” she used the pointer to circle a portion of the base, “Is where sources believe the dolls are hidden. That means, this portion will need to be destroyed. “ Wufei scoffed, muttering something about a blinding glimpse of the obvious. “What was that Chang?” She questioned in a challenging manner.
“I said thank you for that blinding glimpse into the obvious Preventer Inazuma. Surely we’d be lost without your knowledge.” He sat back with a smug look on his face.
The lines of battle drawn, Thea responded with, “Well surely you would be lost without it.”
“How dare you insult my intelligence woman! Haven’t you honor!?”
“None to spare for a whiny little bitch like you!”
“At least I’m not on the rag!”
“Couldn’t prove it by me!!” Thea nearly screamed at him in response.
Wufei gasped and then scowled. Standing, he put his fists on the table and leaned on them. “Maybe you should take a break and go get laid. It might do you some good.” The words left his mouth slowly and his voice was low. Thea pulled in a deep breath and straitened to a rigid stance. “Oh. Did that strike a nerve?”
Thea pulled a knife and threw it in his direction. It landed just inches from a ‘sacred’ place on Wufei. It was thrown with such force that the blade embedded itself nearly all the way to the hilt into the wood. Wufei abruptly sat down.
She turned and stormed out the door. Wufei stared at the knife for a moment, then got up and stormed out the opposite door.
The rest of the group, who had been watching with a mixture of fear and amusement, collectively let out the breath they had been holding. Ara leaned on her elbow. “Jesus. You could cut the sexual tension between them with a knife.” Everyone seemed to agree.

Thea was pacing in her office. Fuming, she walked the path from her desk to her window and back again. “What an asshole! I cannot believe that shit faced jerk!” She was headed towards the window for the twenty-second time when Ara knocked on her office door. “What?!” She yelled, turning towards the desk again.
Ara opened the door and stood the doorframe. “You know. Maybe you should take a break.” She walked in and handed her the venti caramel frappacino she held in her hand. Thea’s eyes lit up. She took the drink had it finished within five minutes. She shuttered with the ‘ice cream headache’ that came with it.
“Just what do you mean by that?”
Ara smirked. “What do you think mean? The conference room was filled with a haze of sexual tension. You want him. Admit it.”
“Never! The little shit insulted me beyond words!”
Ara shook her head. “Yeah. Whatever.” She smirked again and turned out of the office, shutting the door behind her.
Thea glared at the door after it shut. “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?!” She screamed at no one. “Fine! I’ll apologize.” She glanced at the ceiling in resignation. She whispered, “Why?” and followed Ara out the door.
Wufei’s quarters were on the other side of the base. As she walked, her mind wandered to what she would say. She began to ponder his reaction to her just walking in and shooting him in the leg. A smile curved her lips; he’d probably go into a rant about justice while he bled to death.
She reached his door and knocked swiftly.
“Who is it?!” Came the response from behind the door.
“Thea.” She called softly, making herself promise to curb her temper while talking to him. Her thoughts were broken by the door being jerked open.
“What do you want.” He demanded, leaning against the door frame in a lazy manner.
Thea stood stupefied for a moment, gawking at the bare chest of the man in front of her. She shook her head of the desire to jump him then and there. “To apologize.”
He stared at her with question written on his face. “Come in.” he said, moving from the frame and allowing her to enter the apartment. “So. Apologize.”
Thea stood, choosing her words carefully. “I acted inappropriately today in the meeting. I hadn’t had my coffee this morning. My temper was short. I’m sorry.”
“You ought to be sorry. Insulting the Dragon Clan like that. Women.” He shook his head.
Thea’s temper flared and before she could curb it, she retorted, “Can you say anything without being so damn cocky?”
He narrowed his eyes. “What did you say?”
“You heard me.”
Wufei started towards an unmoving Thea Inazuma. “How dare you accuse me of being cocky.”
“Oh. Your right. Forgive me. Your condescending. And cocky. And harsh.”
Wufei stopped just inches from Thea’s face. “I am not.”
Thea scoffed despite being so close to the gorgeous and shirtless Wufei. “Yes. You are. And I don’t think you—“ She was cut off by the soft lips of her comrade. For a moment she stood unmoving. But, her hormones over took her and she returned the kiss as Wufei’s hand laced itself into her hair. Before she could control herself, her hands found his hips, pulling his muscular frame closer to her.
Finally, Thea’s mind reconnected with her body. She pulled away from his soft kiss to breathe. “Harsh?” he asked with a sarcastic manner, “Whatever gave you that idea?”
“I-I don’t…*clears her throat* I don’t know.” They stood motionless for an endless moment. Then, in a instance, the gap was closed. This kiss, unlike the one before it, was passionate, steamy, deep. Wufei’s hands made their way underneath Thea’s uniform shirt. A moan was pulled from low in her throat. His tongue gently lined her bottom lip, asking silently for entrance. Thea was more than happy to comply. She accepted it and they began a sensual duel.
Wufei’s hands began inching slowly up her shirt, cupping her breasts through her bra. Thea again moaned, breaking the kiss and allowing him to remove her shirt. It was tossed in some forgotten corner for retrieval at a later time. Wufei took the time to stare deeply into the deep pools in front of him. He brought his hand gently up to her face, caressing her check. “You’re beautiful.”
A smile curved Thea’s lips. “ I think that may be the first non condescending thing you ever said to me.”
The same smile curved Wufei’s lips. “First time for everything. Now kiss me.” And she did.
She pulled his belt from it’s loops, throwing it into another corner of the room. Grabbing her by the waist, he pulled her lightly towards the bedroom. With little difficulty, they made it to his quarters, flipping on the light as they entered. Thea broke the kiss to breathe, throwing her head back and exposing her neck to Wufei. He left a slow, wet trail of kisses downwards towards her collarbone. Her hands moved to his hair, pulling the band out, and letting it form a curtain over his face. Thea pulled his lips back to hers. His hands moved to her shoulders, sliding the straps of her bra down her arms. That being done, he skillfully unfastened the clasp, freeing her breasts.
She pushed him gently back towards the bed. Wufei turned them around, successfully putting her underneath him on the bed. Her naked breasts were pressed against his chest. Thea gained dominance by flipping them over and straddling his waist. Her skilled fingers unbuttoned and unzipped his pants stripping them, and his boxers from his body and tossing them from their general vicinity. Wufei again gained the upper hand, pulling her pants and panties from her hips in a series of swift movements.
“Wufei.” Thea moaned. “Oh, please God.”
Gently, he reclaimed her lips, moving his hands down the length of her toned body. Thea shifted her weight, wrapping her legs around his waist, asking without words for what she craved. He complied, shifting, entering her slowly and easily. Thea arched moaning in rapture and pleasure. A low moan of enrapture left Wufei’s throat. His hands moved again to capture hers within his grasp. Winding their fingers together, they found a soft pace and began to move. Slowly, carefully, passionately they moved higher together in passion, love. Again and again, higher and higher they climbed, until finally they reached their limit, free-falling into ecstasy, calling out for each other.
Several heavy-breathing moments later, Wufei broke the silence. His kissed her softly and deeply before saying, “So I’m condescending?”
Thea laughed. “Yes you oaf. Now kindly disperse your weight. You’re beginning to get heavy.” Wufei genuinely laughed and rolled off, moving to lie next to her.
“Say want you want. My arguments and rants will be nothing to what Une has to say when she finds you.”
Thea made a half-assed attempt to hit him. He caught her hand in his, bringing it to his lips. He kissed the back and then moved to claim her lips once more. “Sleep.” He said, wrapping his arms around her from behind. “You can get bitched at tomorrow.” Thea chuckled before giving into the sleepiness pulling at her eyelids. She drifted slowly into sleep with the arms of her new-found lover enfolding her.
