Author's note: I do not own Gundam Wing or its characters. I also do not own the song Breathless. If I did, I could by a new computer.

Breathless

Noin surveyed her reflection on in the mirror. It felt odd to be wearing the short sapphire instead of her uniform. Odd to be wearing eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush. She and Zechs were going out for a night on the town. The two seventeen year olds had decided to indulge themselves for once.

There was a knock at her door. She opened it to reveal Zechs. He was wearing khaki pants and a blue shirt, and his hair was pulled back in a ponytail. Instead of the silver mask he usually wore, a pair of dark sunglasses hid his eyes.

"Ready to go?"

"I think so," she replied.

The two of them slipped out into the twilight. They found themselves in front of a bustling nightclub.

The daylight's fading slowly

But time with you is standing still

I'm waiting for you only

The slightest touch and I feel weak

I cannot lie from you I cannot hide

And I'm losing the will to try

Can't hide it

Can't fight it

Inside it was loud and crowded. Many teens their age filled the tables and the dance floor. They found a table half hidden in the back. They both ordered pilot's specials, coke with cherry syrup and a dash of hazelnut flavoring.

They watched the people on the dance floor. The two of them didn't really talk, not that they could be heard over the din. But they didn't really need to. Each other's companionship was all they needed.

Zechs slid off his sunglasses and took her hand, "Do you want to dance?"

"Sure."

So go on go on

Come on leave me breathless

Tempt me tease me

Until I can't deny this lovin' feeling

Make me long for your kiss

Go on go on yeah

Come on

He led her out onto the floor. They weren't used to this kind of dancing. Both of them had been to Oz social functions, but those had involved waltzes and classical music, not what was popular. Still they had fun. Both their training and their natural grace helped with the dancing.

In someways it felt odd, but it also felt right to Noin. When the song ended, they retreated back to their table their hands entwined. She didn't know why, but something told her it was right. Zechs always made her feel that way. When he was with her she felt completely content and out of place at the same time.

And if there's no tomorrow

And all we have is here and now

I'm happy just to have you

You're all the love I need somehow

It's like a dream

Although I'm not asleep

And I never want to wake up

Don't lose it

Don't leave it

Later they got up again for a slow song. Noin found herself gazing up into Zechs' eyes. There was something odd in them; some emotion she had never seen before. The rest of the world seemed to fade away as the danced. They were so close Noin could swear she heard their hearts fall into the same rhythm.

So go on go on

Come on leave me breathless

Tempt me tease me

Until I can't deny this lovin' feeling

Make me long for your kiss

Go on go on yeah

Come on

"Noin," Zechs whispered as their faces drew closer.

Their lips met in a sweet kiss, and thought became impossible for both of them. They broke apart breathless.

And I can't lie

From you I cannot hid

And I've lost my will to try

Can't hide it

Can't fight it

Quietly they collected their things and slid out into the night. As they walked together in the moonlight, neither spoke. They both knew they loved each other, and they both knew that circumstances would most likely keep them apart. But for now they had each other.

So go on go on

Come on leave me breathless

Tempt me tease me

Until I can't deny this lovin' feeling

Make me long for your kiss

Go on go on yeah

Come on

Tempt me tease me

Until I can't deny this lovin' feeling

Make me long for your kiss

Go on go on come on leave me breathless
