Disclaimer: Gundam Seed Destiny does not belong to me. It belongs solely to its creater, and this work is pure fiction.

Author's Note: I'm back from my unannounced hiatus! Things have just gotten from busy to busier, but I feel like I can't do anything if I don't spare some time to write. To all the fans of Clutching at Air: Hope you like it so far, this is my newest work. If you are a fan of GSD, then please stick with me, I'd love it if you all stayed. This is my newest multi-chapter project. I have the whole plot in my head, from start to finish, this time! If you are as much of a fan of Rey as I am, please try this one out. I'm not expecting as many fans, but the quality, will, hopefully be improved. This is a Lunamaria X Rey fanfiction. I do understand how strange that coupling is, but the challenge, for me, is to be able to pull it off, andmaybe pick up some new supporters in the process! With so much drama ahead, can I do it?

Wish me luck,

POV: Rey


The first time, it was little more than an amorous glance. She fluttered her eyelashes at me and smiled, offering to help bandage my wounds. I couldn't refuse.

She was just so beautiful.

She sang to me as she wrapped the linen over the gaping holes in my body, hands flapping like butterflies and the worry shining through her eyes. The first time, it was little more than an amorous glance in my direction, concern awash over her features and tears of fright glinting in the corners of her tear ducts.

"I was so worried, oh, Rey… I thought you were going to die, and I was so scared…"

She ended up crying –sobbing- on my white medical sheets, traces of tears soaking through my bandages and stinging where my wounds were.

That's when I realized that she was the one that really needed someone to protect her; she was the one that needed a savior.

I began to grow afraid of my own death, something I had never done before.

After I died, who would be left to protect my goddess?

Was it so much of a sin for someone so inhuman, a murderer, like I… to fall in love?

I am still searching for the answer to all of that.

As men in love say, just being with her for that long was enough.

I never knew what it was like to fall in love like that, completely out of the blue. It was so amazing, so gratifying, so beautiful.

These are the two things I have learned:

Beautiful things don't last.

And that humans are ugly, ugly creatures that have scarred the earth and worlds far beyond it. So we don't quite last, either.
