HELLOS! A drabble about Shinn and Luna!It's just fluff, totally pointless. But I love how it turned out!
Disclaimer: This is the story of a girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world... because she does not own Gundam SEED Destiny. Sadly.
17-year-old Lunamaria Hawke opened the door of the cockpit with her heart pounding in her ears. She looked down with a solemn face and saw the mechanics and other soldiers gathered below her Mobile Suit, chanting her name with smiles on their faces. However, that wasn't what caught her attention. Rather, it was a boy, a certain ruby-eyed boy, pushing his way through the huge crowd to reach the Impulse.
Immediately, her face was seized by a grin.
And right after it was, she felt a pang of guilt shoot through her body. After all, this was the boy who had killed her sister. But her grin never faltered.
She descended from the huge machine. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she threw her helmet aside and ran into Shinn's open arms.
He held her against himself protectively and instinctively, she wrapped her arms around him.
There was a unified gasp from the crowd. That was to be expected, after all, nobody knew about her and Shinn.
"I was so worried about you," Shinn whispered fiercely.
Another gasp.
And in Shinn's loving embrace, Luna began to cry softly. Amidst her tears however, she laughed.
Shinn held her tighter.
When she finally stopped laughing, she withdrew her arms and curled them to her chest.
Shinn loosened his grip a little, not removing his hands from the older girl, and placed his forehead against hers.
The two stayed in that position, eyes closed, even after the crowd dispersed.
And finally, Lunamaria Hawke realized why she loved being a Mobile Suit pilot.
The adrenaline that rushed through her body as she thought of strategies to defeat the enemy.
The pride from knowing that she was able to protect millions of people.
And finally,
The warmth from knowing that…
… someone cared.
