Read This Authors Note Darn You!
Yeah, its' been a while since i've put anything up, and I am guessing that all the fans of Rangers Lead the Way have given up on the 75th, but they will return. In my hiatus I discovered a wonderful anime known as Eureka 7. The two main characters, Renton and Eureka are perfect for each other, so what happens when I go to the Eureka 7 area of FFN. Only a handful of E7 fanfics and even less of them that are based completely around Eureka and Renton. This is a great Mech anime, and don't get me wrong, those that were posted about the two are awesome. But still, lets put this animes' amount of fiction through the roof, it's that good. I created this one while in class, and its been in my mind all day. (Can't write any of this down lest my friends find it and banish me to that special part of hell they keep for fan fiction writers at my school.) This takes place after Eureka starts to discover her emotions and feelings for Renton. So here we go. Most characters are probably Ooc, slightly AU, and the story is probably beyond fluffy, but hey, I've been a bit down lately and writing helps me cope with life. Especially if I can spread a little happiness to any readers. Thank You.
Yours' truly
Fortunate Son

Renton grabbed a pair of wire cutters from the toolbox next to him and slid partway back into the wall panel in the Gekko-Go's hangar. They had ben caught in a surprise attack yesterday and the hangar had suffered some damage before they could take down the KLF's. Holland was ordering the rest of the crew about as they patched what of the holes in the hull they could while Renton was given the job of figuring out what had happened to the wires that controled the hangar door's motors. He crawled farther back into the mess of wires in the wall panel to where he had found the problem. A white phosphorous round from one of the KLF's guns and gone into the wall but hadn't gone clean through into the hanger. It had lost its momentum inside the wire compartments and had melted, burned, and fused a large mass of the wires together before burning itself out. This was the last break he had discovered in the wiring, he was glad for it as well. No one had really slept since yesterday, the entire crew and some of their LFO's were needed to move the metal patches and hold them in place until they could be welded properly.
This was his last assigned job and he was eager to take a shower and sleep for the rest of his life. He quickly pulled out his wire cutters and cleaved into the mess after checking the small circuit breaker at the entrance to the wall panel so he wouldn't be electrocuted. As he pulled out the last of the burnt wires he slid back out with the mess and grabbed a fresh spool of the pre-bundled wiring which ran throughout the ship. He pulled himself back up into the compartment and spliced the wires together. Then he covered it in heat shrink wrap and used a torch to tighten the wrap, he then covered that in electrical tape. He slid back out into the hangar and grabbed the main door button then yelled out, "EVERYONE CLEAR THE HANGER DOOR!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and moved away from the doors, they were eager to have them functioning again. The high altitudes that the Gekko was flying in had turned the open hanger into an Ice box.
Renton restored power through the circuit breaker and then hit the button. With a low thrum the motors to the door powered up and brought the hangar door closed. Everyone let out a loud cheer as Holland said through his radio, "Talho, get some heat pouring into the hanger. Renton got the door fixed."
"Well, it's about time the idiot got it. I guess I owe you about him not electrocuting himself" She told him. Everyone chuckled at that but it struck a chord with Renton. He had just worked his butt off to get the door fixed and was re-payed with being called a squirt and having a bet placed on if he would shock himself or not. Holland told everyone to get back to work but turned to Renton.
"Renton, take the rest of the night off, you've earned it." and with a small chuckle from him and a few others walked off. Renton knew they were just joking about the squirt thing, but the bet and the fatigue from the battle and the following repairs along with the cold and frustration of working with the wires got him angry.
Renton crawled back up into the wall panel one last time to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything when a large amount of a scalding hot liquid poured all over his lap and lower body that stuck out of the wall. Renton yelled out in pain and said, his anger boiling over "WHO IS THE DAMNED IDIOT WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO POUR HOT CHOCOLATE ALL OVER ME! I SWEAR IF THIS IS ANOTHER PRANK I WILL KILL SOMEONE!" He grabbed a handful of scrap metal and threw it at whoever it was, he couldn't see who but they were about to get an earful about how far these pranks can go. The Ramen noodles were bad enough, but now this? What he saw when he slid out was not what he expected, Eureka stood before him with a pair of empty mugs. She had tears in her eyes and a small cut on her leg were one of the mugs had broken when she fell. Without saying a word she turned around and ran from the hanger.
Everyone stared at him with angry or disappointed expressions, she had tried to do something nice for him and he had re-payed her by yelling at her and causing her harm. Renton thought, "I'm such a damned fool, I can't believe I just said and did those things to her! I have to apologi-" His thought got interrupted by Hollands' fist meeting with his gut.
"Why in the HELL did you just yell at her for, she was trying to do something nice for you dammit. She tripped on some of this clutter, it was a mistake and yet you did that to her. Do you have anything to say for yourself. WELL, DO YOU!" Renton looked at him, it had been an accident and he over reacted. He looked at Holland who had pure rage in his eyes.
"I didn't know, I thought it was another of your guys stupid pranks." He hung his head in shame as tears came to his eyes. The one he loved had tried to do something nice for him and he might as well have slapped her for it. Renton said, "Let me go, I have to apologize to her after what I did. I shouldn't have done that to her." Holland looked surprised for a second at what the boy had said, Renton had instantly realized that he was in the wrong, he could see the self hate in the boys eyes as tears spilled from them.
Holland looked at him, still angry, "You're damn right you need to go apologize to her." He let the boy go. As Renton slipped out of earshot he turned to everyone, "Get back to work, Renton knows he was in the wrong, and no amount of hate from you can amount to the self hate in his own eyes. I want you too know that we are partly at fault, he thought it was another one of our pranks. That's why he got mad. If I find out that anyone messed with them until they are alright. They'll get ten times worse than what I just gave Renton." No one doubted him either, he hadn't fully forgiven Renton but what he saw in the boys eyes had made a huge leap in him being able to.
Renton ran to his small room and quickly changed, he hated himself to the very core now for what he did to Eureka. And prayed she would forgive him. He walked to her door and knocked slowly, he was thankful that the kids were asleep. Had they found out this would have gotten a lot harder than it was now." He heard her voice say, "Go away Renton."
He heard the pain in it and felt another knife go through his heart, she hated him. He said slowly, "Eureka, I am so sorry that I snapped at you like that. Please just let me in so I can talk to you. I never meant to hurt you Eureka, I was just tired and angry because of what someone said about me. I didn't know you were trying to do something nice and tripped, I didn't even know it was you. I thought someone had done it as a prank, I would never hurt you Eureka."
He waited for a second and was just about to try again when he heard the lock move, Eureka slowly opened the door. Her eyes were puffy and red, tears still streaked her cheeks. She said slowly, "D-Do you mean that Renton?"
"With every fiber of my body, Eureka! I would never do anything to hurt you intentionally." Tears were pouring from his eyes and hers now. She opened the door the rest of the way and he instantly brought her into a hug.
She cried into his shoulder and he cried into hers as he whispered into her ear, "I'm sorry, Eureka. I will never do something like that again." He guided them over to her bed and lay down upon it with her resting on top of him. They stayed there for a long time as pent-up emotions released themselves through their tears and the only presence they felt was each others. As both began to calm down he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and ran his other hand through her hair to comfort her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and clung for dear life. She still didn't fully understand this new emotion for Renton but she understood that this was a great trial in strengthening each others feelings for each other. They didn't know how long they lay in each others embrace, but it had been a while. Renton looked down when he felt something wet against his lower leg. He gasped at the sight. Eureka hadn't noticed the cut on her leg and it was still bleeding. "Eureka, the cut on your leg! It's still bleeding."
Eureka looked down in surprise, she didn't even know about it. Renton quickly pulled off his undershirt and tore a strip from it, then tied it around her leg. When she got up she stumbled slightly, Renton wrapped an arm around her waist before she could fall then said, "It's alright I've got you. I've got you." He made sure she could stay upright then knelt with his back facing her and said with a slight blush, "Here, I'll carry you down to the medical bay." She nodded and wrapped her arms around his shoulders and he wrapped his around her legs at the knee. Eureka could feel a small blush rise up on her cheeks as Renton carried her out of her room and into the hall. She rested her head on his shoulder and allowed herself to relax. She was tired, and the way he packed her was comfortable. Eureka allowed herself to slowly drift off to sleep.
When Renton reached Mischa in the medical bay, Eureka had completely fallen asleep on his shoulder. He set her down on the examination table and unwrapped her arms from his shoulders. Then he turned to Mischa, "Can you check the cut on her leg, you know how she got it from the hanger incident, it doesn't look very deep but could you check it?"
Mischa nodded and started to work on the bandage, after a while she asked, "Did you apologize to her yet?"
Renton nodded. "Yeah, I explained everything to her and she accepted my apology. It still doesn't change that I hurt her though, or that I hate myself for it. I'm just glad she forgave me, even though I don't deserve it." He said as he leaned against the wall.
As he spoke a few fresh tears welled up in his eyes and one slid down his cheek. Mischa, who was now finished with the bandage, could see how much this killed the boy inside. He was truly in love with this girl and she had a feeling that Eureka loved him as well. She smiled softly, "Renton, it isn't good to dwell on the past. She doesn't hate you and you shouldn't hate yourself. You've already said you were sorry to her, now why don't you take her back to her room and then get yourself some rest. It's been a long two days for the entire crew, we all need some rest." Renton smiled at the comforting words and thanked Mischa for the advice, then wiped the tears from his eyes and picked up Eureka in a more bridal style. He walked over to the door and was about to open it when he heard a noise outside, Mischa heard it and opened the door to see most of the Gekko-state crew outside.
She scowled at them, then placed a finger to her lips and shushed them. "These two have been through enough this evening without you all spying on them. Now Eureka is asleep and she and Renton have made their peace with each other if that's what you were wondering. As the ship's doctor I am ordering you to leave these two alone unless it's urgent until tomorrow." Holland was about to say something in protest when Mischa stopped him and said, "Not even you can overpower the decisions I make when it comes to my patients Holland, now let them be and go back to your own business. As I remember you gave an order to let these two be for a while, now you've gone and disobeyed your own orders, what kind of example is that?" The crew all lowered there heads slightly and moved as Renton carried Eureka past them back to her room. He didn't make eye contact with any of them except Moondoggie who nodded at him in a way that said, "I'm glad you made things right. Brother." This brightened Renton up slightly and he gave a small smile in understanding back to his "brother" as he continued down the hallway.
Renton hurried back to her room without waking her and placed her on the bed, he pulled the covers up over her and was just about to leave when an idea appeared that made his heart fly and his face turn blood-red. He knelt and gave her a kiss on the forehead and said quietly to her smiling form, "I'm sorry, Eureka." then turned to leave when something grabbed his hand.
He turned to see Eureka looking at him, a small smile on her face. "It's alright Renton, I'm just glad you didn't mean it." Renton's heart warmed at those words, but he still wanted to make it up to her and asked her.
"Is their anything I could do to make it up to you?" she seemed thoughtful for a moment.
"Well, could you maybe stay with me tonight?" Rentons' face heated up at the thought but he managed to stutter out a yes. Eureka smiled, "Okay, I'm going to change. So knock on the door when you get back from getting ready."
Renton hurried back to his room and changed into a pair of shorts, then returned to Eurekas' door. He knocked and waited until a muffled "Come in" was heard. He walked through the door to see Eureka standing there wearing a shirt and a pair of shorts. He walked up and embraced the blue haired girl, and said what he had said the day they first met. "Eureka, I love you, with all my heart and soul. I love you."
She smiled at him and said, "I think, no. I know that I love you too, Renton."
His heart almost stopped at those words, the thing she did after did make it stop for a moment. She leaned forward and kissed him, he stood shocked for a second, where the Seven Swells Affect burst through his mind and completely blew him away. He recovered and quickly returned the show of affection, when they broke apart both had a large blush on their cheeks and Renton was slightly dazed. After staying in each others arms for a moment they walked over to her bed, it was a single person bed and would be a tight fit, but neither minded. Renton slid under the covers first and placed his back to the wall then held the covers open for Eureka, she climbed in, slid over until her back pressed against Rentons' chest. He was very warm, a fact that she enjoyed greatly. He draped an arm around her waist and she used his other one as a pillow, she grabbed the hand of the arm that was around her waist and stomach and they laced their fingers together. Eureka reached up and pulled the cord of the lamp next to the bed, the only light was that of the moon. Renton kissed the back of her neck and said, "Good night Eureka. I love you."
She smiled, "Night Renton, I love you too." and they both fell into a deep and peaceful slumber filled with thoughts' of the one they loved.
Later that night Holland went to see if Renton had managed to really solve everything with Eureka, he knocked on the boy's door but received no response. He opened it to find it empty, he thought to himself, "Surely he can't still be trying to mend everything, Hilda said they were fine but I want to know for myself." he headed down to Eurekas room and, noticing it was dark, decided to make sure she was Ok. What he saw settled all doubts he had, their lay Renton with his arm draped over the girl. They both had peaceful smiles on their faces and he was sure that they were alright,he had to admit he had a soft spot for the two. He said to their sleeping forms just as he was about to leave, "Good night, sleep tight, young lovers."
Well, I hope you liked it. This did help me a lot and if you have taken the time to read it I would like to thank you again. If you wish to say anything, good or bad, please review, and please tell any of your friends to read and review as well. Sorry if Renton or Eureka were OoC, i tried to get them as correct as possible, but, I can only do so much. And yes, I know that this is AU from the Anime itself, but I couldn't come up with something that was entirely Canon. I think this will be for any one shots I come up with, don't know yet. It will be up to my imagination and the readers.
