A/N: There's not enough Meiran love on this site. I shall combat it. It's not much; just a little drabble, AU because there's no way Meiran could really be alive. It's a nice thought, though, so here 'tis:
He was the only one allowed to call her "Nataku."
The war had changed a lot of things. So had her near death. She was no longer a naïve little girl; she no longer saw the world in shades of black and white. She was still as stubborn as a mule, for sure, and arguing with Wufei was as enjoyable as ever. That would never change. But she no longer needed a name to prove to herself that she was strong.
Of course, she still believed in justice.
And so to the world she was Chang Meiran, the long lost wife of a former Gundam pilot and loyal member of the Preventors, who had suddenly come back from the dead, shocking everyone who knew her story, not the least of whom being Wufei.
But to him she was, and forever would be, his Nataku. It was the name he used both in public and when they were alone. He whispered it to her feverishly as they clung to each other late at night.
And at last they had peace.
