Authors Note: Alright! So this basically happened when I started a challenge from friend and one of the tags she gave me was 'I love you'. And since she likes romantic I tried my best on it. Though, what for? She doesn't even like RVB… XD

Anyway…

English is not my native language so if you see mistakes or errors, just go ahead and tell me (how to fix it).

FelixVanessa

Over the years of war, Vanessa learned to be a tough soldier. She wasn't the best or most skilled, granted. But she always did her best, fought with all she had. She fought so hard, did all she could for Chorus, sacrificed so much. And yet here she was, laying on the ground, dazed and hurt. Blood was slowly dripping out of a wound in her side. The other soldiers around her, enemies and friends, sure were dead. She probably only was left alive because they didn't realize she isn't dead yet and only had been momentary knocked out be the blast of a grenade nearby. Vanessa just came to again. She feels overwhelming pain and the frightening lack of energy to move. Everything is still fuzzy and her sight is blurry. She can barely make out colors and forms. But she hears voices.

"Stop this fucking idiotes before they get any further! And don't mess it up this time, I'll be busy with the aqua-turquoise or whatever bitch is and her fucking AI." She knows that voice. It's Felix, the man she used to trust so much in the last few years. Somehow she feels even more in pain now that she did before.

"What about the other Freelancer?", a voice she doesn't know asks.

"Washington?", Felix laughs but the evil pleasure mixed with cold contempt is unfamiliar to her. "Locus will enjoy to dash him to pieces, in one way or another. Now move it!"

Vanessa fights to stay awake. She knows she has to do something. She has to try. The other mercenary run of and only Felix stays back. When everyone is gone, he walks towards her, almost strolls. "Don't move", he says suddenly. Vanessa knows then he is aware that she is awake and alive. And she wishes she could move in the first place. Just so she would have at least done something in her end. And even if it was just pissing him off. But all she manages is a low groan.

"Now now, Kimball, you don't want my motion trackers to notice you, right?" Felix voice has this somewhat arrogant and daunting tone but yet this seems familiar. But Vanessa knows he just plays a fucking role. Like he did all the time. He stands in front of her and looks down. She can't tell what kind of expression he has now. It probably won't matter, he's always just playing games.

"Well well, lucky you. Seems like you don't have any lethal wounds. Not if your team finds you in time."

Vanessa blinks, tries to focus. "What... do you want... son of a bitch...", she manages to rasp out in a soft voice. "Ah, don't be always so cold, Vanessa. You are kind of harsh." This is it. This is it again, the sarcastic yet playful voice she knows only Felix can manage. And even after so many years of war and fight and death and pain she didn't know just how much this hurt.

"Just finish it... I don't need your faked pity." Somehow she manages to sound a little steadier. She also sees clear enough to recognize Felix plying with a knife. He used to do that a lot. "Well... I think it would be a waste to kill you, Vanessa. So why don't you stay put and wait for your hero in some colored armor. I'll be busy fillet the Freelancer chick." His voice goes further away with each word while the darkness comes over her and takes away all her pain in body and soul.

The next time she comes to for a short moment she sees her helmet lay somewhere away. She herself lays on her side, like how you should put unconscious and probably concussed people. No one is at her side yet and she only sees blurry forms run into her direction. They yell something but Vanessa, for once happily, lets the darkness come over her again. She doesn't want to think about how she came to this position. Doesn't want to think about Felix. Wishes she never knew him. Wished she could hate him just a little more than she does.

Authors Note: So yeah... Felix and Kimball... just because.

As mentioned I'll probably do pairings you suggest. No promises but still. Already done are:

FelixKimball

Tucker & Junior as in father-son relationship

LeonardAllison

WashSouth

Grif & Kaikaina as in siblings love

Yorkalina

Grimmons

Tuckington

I wont do Church and Tex because the thing about forgetting her in the Epsilon unit pretty much is this I love you moment for them in my opinion. If you tell me why I'm pretty much open for everything.
