These are a collection of small events from Juno Eclipse's life, ranging from childhood and beyond. They will not follow any pattern or any real chronological order, maybe one day I'll come back and reorder them but for now this is what how they're staying. I know that a lot of these little scenes may seem really far-fetched but hey! Isn't that why it's called fanfiction? I hope you enjoy and if you have an suggestions or a scene you would really like to see please do not hesitate to ask. I own nothing, reviews are always welcome and please enjoy.
To Fly With the Stars
Cold
Her rapid breathing began to slow, she turned on her side to see the man lying on the other side of her bed, and he had a satisfied smirk playing on his lips. She bunched the sheets to her chest as she sat up, the man rolled over to straighten himself up collecting his disregarded clothing at the edge of the bed.
"You'd better go," she said to him, her tone was stale and icy. She ran her left hand through her blonde, disheveled hair. He was already one step ahead of her pulling his pants back on, and getting his imperial outfit back together. She swung her legs over her edge of the bed keeping the sheet covering her chest. She stared down at her toes, wiggling them slightly; she could hear his footsteps moving around the bed, making their way to the door before stopping. Juno's azure eyes peered out from the wisps of hair she could never seem to keep out of her face. She watched him straighten his uniform in the mirror by the door, checking for any part of the attire that might be out of place. He tried, unsuccessfully, to flatten his curling black hair, or at least make it acceptable to regulation. Without giving her a second look he slid the door open, but not before he was able to give her some kind of acknowledgment.
"Eclipse"
"Grey"
The door clicked behind him, locking it. Juno's shoulders sagged slightly before her training got the best of her causing her to return to a straight upright, rigid position. Even when she was by herself she could never quite be alone. The traces of her life choices and training were everywhere. She got up on both her feet, wrapping the bed sheet around her slender body as she made her way to the opposite wall where a large window allowed her to just watch the galaxy for a change, instead of flying in it.
Her fingers tapped the glass slightly, it was cold to the touch. Space was always cold. She sometimes felt like space. She thought of her mother. She could never show it to the others but she missed her mother. She tried to shake off her memories. She had to remember that her family no longer existed. Her family had shattered the day her mother's heart stopped beating.
Still, sometimes she felt so alone. Even within the mass multitude of people surrounding her daily, she couldn't help but feel like she was just an unexplored planet within the vastness of the dark space. The glass clouded beneath the warmth of her fingertips, she etched strange shapes and patterns with her fingertips onto the whiteness. She shivered and pulled the sheet closer to her body.
She turned to face the bed, picking up her own clothing that was scattered on the floor that made a trail to the bed. With each piece of her garment she picked up she thought of Grey. She was glad that he didn't pretend that they were more. They simply used each other. With the work both of them did they would be lucky to be alive in a fortnight.
As strange as it sounded, there was comfort in just being with someone even if it meant nothing. Yet Juno always felt slightly empty with each moment she spent living in lies with Grey, or any other person for that matter. She shook her head, it really didn't matter, and after all there was no kind of emotional attachment between them. He knew it meant nothing but more importantly she knew it meant nothing. Even if he died on their next assignments she wouldn't waste one tear on him, it had happened before and it would happen again. It came with the territory.
Her wrinkled clothing made a soft "plop" as she threw them on the bed. She closed her eyes taking a moment to clear her mind and focus on the day ahead.
Juno's body shivered involuntary and her arms wrapped themselves around her chest. She was cold.
