Chance Encounters and Friendship
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam 00 or any of the characters in this story(well except Jay who I really do not care about)
Author Notes: We were bored and looking through Gundam fanfics for something to do when we noticed that there is a sad lack of Gundam 00 fics with Setsuna and Allelujah in them so we decided what the Hell we would give it a try. We have written stories before but they were all ones that we created from our own plots so do not hate me if I suck at this. Anyway, this is a story about Setsuna and Allelujah, because they are awesome, and it takes place before Allelujah was a super soldier (no Hallelujah) and after Krugis and they are both in some large city that does not really have a name. I do not know if these two points in time are even possible or if they would have coincided or if Allelujah ever lived in a city so this probably has some plot problems but what the Hell is a fanfic for if you cannot use a little imagination of your own.
Summary: Allelujah goes to the mall on the edge of a park because he is bored and meets Setsuna who is hiding in a bush and having a mental breakdown after his foster parents got mad and told him it was his fault they had to take care of him because he killed his people. Allelujah feels sorry for Setsuna but being inept as he is at comforting he drags Setsuna out of the bush and to the mall…. Could be a multi chapter if I am not lazy.
Warning: It is rated T for mild AllelujahxSetsuna(after all they are only about ten and eleven years old because even though we know they are supposed to be three years apart we wanted them to be closer to the same age for plot purposes), violence, and one or two mild swearwords(probably Hell and Damn because they are like the only two swear words we ever use), and the seriously messed up humor of a character we created named Jay. Oh, and of course the fact that the characters are acting quite out of character(Allelujah gets bored easily and Setsuna pretty much hates himself). Two more things, our spelling is terrible even with Spell Check so please forgive us and we are doing our best to be lax on the old style formal language but we cannot make any promises.
Chapter One The Kid Crying in the Bush:
Allelujah could not help the feeling that he should not be wandering around in a city so large as this one, especially alone at his age. He was eleven and was going to be twelve in just a few short weeks but he was not really looking forward to it because firstly he never felt a year older on his birthday and secondly he had no friends to share the day with so it would be just as boring as any other day. He sighed inwardly and cleared the thought from his mind as his destination came into sight, a large mall with a welcoming twinkle to its slightly curved windows. He had not been heading there originally but as always had simply let his feet cary him wherever they wished until he saw something that caught his interest.
Allelujah jumped down the first few steps one at a time, over exaggerating his reactions to the impact until he got bored at the fourth step and quickly descended the last few steps. He glanced up to see that the twinkling windows of the large white building were now hidden by the brilliant pink and white flowers of the cherry trees but he knew the general direction. He glanced at a crowded fountain along a path that lead directly through the center of the park but he had no desire to pass through such a crowd so he took a path that lead off to the side slightly and decided to circle around the crowded center of the park knowing that he could still reach his new destination.
He walked along the path and to his relief it was mostly empty and none of the few people lounging on the benches so much as glanced at him as he passed. He kept his eyes on the light littering of pink flower petals on the ground until he had passed the last occupied bench and then looked up again to see that the entire path before him was deserted. Allelujah relaxed, glad to be away from people and their curious glances and scorn for his lack of supervision. He glanced at the blossoms above his head as the wind stirred them and decided to forget the mall for a while and enjoy the peace of being alone even if it was only until he had to return home.
He smiled slightly to himself as he sat down on a bench and glanced back the way he had come to see that the people he had passed were completely out of sight, hidden as he was by the little alcove. He breathed in slowly, savoring the scents of the cherry blossoms and then leaned his head back against the bench and pulled his legs up onto the bench, his eyes falling closed until all he could see was a thin line of blurry pink. Suddenly his other senses seemed to awaken as he felt his hair tickle his cheek slightly as it fluttered in the breeze and he smelled the sweet, soft scent of grass and cherry blossoms.
In the background he could hear many different kinds of bird songs but then suddenly he heard something much closer. It was a couple of short, strangled sobs that quieted quickly and the sound seemed to be coming from behind him to the right slightly. One of his eyes cracked open and he leaned back so he could look over the top of the bench but was greeted only by the sight of a couple trees and a few green bushes. Grumbling to himself he forced himself into action as he got off the bench and made his way through a small gap in the large bushes to find the reason behind the slightly annoying sound.
What he found was something very different from what he had expected and he could not help but do a double take. There was a little boy curled on the ground at the base of one of the trees with his face buried in his knees and his arms wrapped tightly around his legs. His breathing was even but fast, only occasionally broken by a soft sob and the slightest shivering of his shoulders. Allelujah ran his hand through the hair on the back of his head as he searched for something to say. Finally he settled on a comment rather than a question, "You're gonna get all dirty lying there."
The boy jumped and scrambled backwards until his hand scraped roughly over a tree root and he tumbled over backwards. The boy sat up slowly shaking his head, dazed and glanced around to get his bearings before looking up at Allelujah. The boy had black hair with just the slightest of a wave to it and deep brown eyes that looked emotionless accept for a slight hint of pain in their depths. His skin was just slightly tanned, a little less than Allelujah's and his face was thin but at the same time rounded and childlike. Cute kid, Allelujah thought to himself as he knelt on the ground and smiled kindly, "My name's Allelujah so what's yours?"
He stared at him cautiously for a second and then murmured, so quietly that his voice was barely distinguishable from the wind, "I'm Set…Setsuna."
Allelujauh was surprised when the boy did not look away despite the frightened stammer in his voice, I guess he's trying to decide if I mean him harm. "That's an unusual name but its nice. Hey, you wanna come sit on the bench so you don't get dirty on the ground?"
The boy stayed still for a few moments more and then slowly nodded before standing up, "Thank you Allelujah."
That was my first attempt at a fanfic and it went better than expected so I hope it is good XD
