This story takes place after the events of God Eater: Resurrection and before God Eater 2. It features a female protagonist OC and potentially other non-canon characters which exist per request of friends. Expect me to be directly taking location names from the game so you know where they are (granted I don't end up making up a place or two on my own at some point). The location of each scene will be at the beginning of each transition in bold so there's no way you can miss it.

Yes. This is a romance story, but expect action too. Trust me, I have no intention of boring you with mushy crap all the time.

Not sure how long this is going to be, but yeah.

Enjoy (hopefully).


Tranquil Temple

A chilling breeze blew across the terrain of the partially destroyed temple. Snow fell from the night sky, forming a blanket of white over the lonely ruins of the village that once devoted its life to the gods. Despite being Aragami territory, the area managed to exude an aura of serenity and beauty all the same.

At the peak of the temple grounds stood a young man wielding a giant blade over his shoulder. Alone, he stared at the moon that resembled what his home planet used to be. His figure was illuminated by the faint glimmer of moonlight that served as the only source of light for the area.

The lone male was eventually approached by another individual, a young woman around the same age also wielding a weapon of proportionately smaller size, but still rather large all the same.

She didn't speak right away. She only stared for a moment as if taking him in. Her ultramarine hues eventually made their way to the moon which had him so captivated.

A soft smile formed on her lips as bittersweet thoughts crossed her mind. It was likely they were thinking about the same thing. Something that could never be forgotten, and would stay with them for the rest of their lives.

"Soma, the chopper is about to arrive soon," the female called out to him as she began to approach him fully.

"Understood," replied Soma as he turned around to face her – his expression as serious as always.

Now that she had his attention, the girl couldn't help but ask the question that had been on her mind since she arrived.

"Were you thinking about Shio?"

Soma's serious expression softened into something more akin to mild surprise at her inquiry. He then closed his eyes and let out a soft chuckle.

"You already know, huh?"

The girl let out a small laugh of her own as she nodded her head.

"Of course. Even I can't help but think about Shio when I look up the moon. I'm sure everyone feels that way."

The girl looked up at the moon once more, finding yet another smile gracing her lips.

"The moon may not be as bright as the sun, but when darkness falls the moon's light is the only thing that remains. The moon shines quietly in the darkness and offers salvation to those who wish to allow its light to guide their way."

Soma's eyes slightly widened from the girls words, clearly surprised.

"That's surprisingly poetic coming from you."

"Hm? What's that supposed to mean, huh?"

The girl looked at him with a slight pout on her face which was only rewarded with further chuckling from the male.

"Just messing with you. Well... partially."

"Hey! I can be pretty eloquent when I wanna be!"

"Well, I see that now. Looks like I learned something new about you today, captain."

"Captain? C'mon, use my name! It feels all weird and distant when you call me just captain."

"Fine, fine. As you wish, Yuki."

"There we go!"

Feeling incredibly satisfied, a wide grin formed on the first unit captain's lips.

"Because of Shio, I can talk and joke around with you like this now. You always used to push everyone away, but now... Hehehe. I'm so happy to be closer to you. To be friends with you. Remember when you used to be Mister Doom & Gloom?"

A light blush formed on Soma's cheeks as he quickly looked away.

"Shut up..."

Yuki couldn't help but laugh at his undeniably adorable reaction. While she would have loved to tease him a bit further, she resisted the urge to do so.

"I always loved the moon. But now I love it twice as much. Knowing that Shio is up there watching over us even though we're so far apart makes me feel so safe and determined. Shio saved us all, and now it is up to us to pay her back by fighting hard and making sure we don't die anytime soon. When, and if we see Shio again, who knows, maybe the world will be a slightly better place. Until then, let's do our best to fight on and live."

Soma was quiet for a moment before speaking up.

"What's with you today? I'm not used to hearing you talk like this..."

"Hehehe! Sorry, Soma. Am I... weirding you out?"

"Well, no... I actually don't mind it."

"Oh? So you like it? You think I sound all intelligent and sophisticated and stuff?~"

"Hmph, I wouldn't push it," said Soma as he began to walk past Yuki with with a small smirk.

"What? Hey! What's that supposed to mean!" Yuki called out as she began to quickly follow behind him.

"Come on, we have to make sure we're there when the chopper arrives, captain."

"Don't change the subject! And I told you to call me by my name, Soma! You're doing this on purpose aren't you?!"

Soma merely laughed in response to her comments as he continued to walk off as she followed.

Despite seeming completely frustrated with him, Yuki found herself laughing a bit as well. As she said before, she was happy to be able to play around like this with him on occasion.

Being able to have fun this way. To smile and laugh this way.

In a world that was perpetually plagued by looming danger, it was the little things like this that helped people through hard times. They found happiness by appreciating all the good things they had, no matter how small. At the very least, that's what Yuki believed.

That's why she would always fight on, no matter what challenges awaited her. She had to fight, to protect everyone's smiles and whatever small happiness they had.

To give light even in the darkest situations.

To shine just like the moon.

To shine just like Shio.
