Title: I'd Put You and I Together
Description: The A to Z of Anna and Kratos. Kratos/Anna
A is for Anna:
The first time he sees the ragged little human, she is death and paleness, trapped behind the heavy set wire fence of a Human Ranch. He is still working for Cruxis at the time, and though he has doubts of the organization festering in his mind, he is not yet an all out traitor. He would barely have noticed her, if it had not been for a single moment.
It was not love at first sight, for Kratos does not believe in such things, having lived so very long and seen so very much. There is perhaps, admiration at first sight however.
There is a line, a procession of humans, moving slowly. They carry heavy crates into the Desian buildings—or, rather, all but drag them in with their weak limbs and weaker spirits.
One trips, falls, and stops the progression. It is a mere boy, who could not be past the tender age of ten, but there will still surely be punishment. The Desians have no sympathy.
Anna, as of yet unnamed to him, pulls the boy up and scuttles to the ground in his place, planting her hands and knees in the dirt. She coughs, and trembles from the pain of such a rough decent, and when the Desian leading the group calls out ("Who stopped the line? We don't tolerate disobedience scum!"), she raises her hand as guilty.
Kratos does not believe in love at first sight, as we have previously mentioned, but there is something certainly close to it swelling in him as he watches her take three whip lashings without a sound. So small, so soft, so breakable. Yet, at the same time, she seems…invincible.
Amazing, he thinks, and in a way that little incident, as coincidental and fragile as humans themselves, seals their fates.
A/N: Hello everyone! What's up? How are you? I'm doing well myself. Currently I've decided that, since I love this couple and have never really written about it, I sort of need to. So now I'm writing little drabbles about them for each letter of the Alphabet. It's just for fun, but I hope you enjoy! Oh, and they won't be in any particular order, just so you know. Some may follow each other one after the next, but I'll probably jump around a lot in the timeline.
