AN: My Varia in Florida fic is currently on hold because I have the worst case of brainblock. However, I found my new Otp and have a stroke of ingenuity.

Sunlight filtered in the room through a tiny slot in the blinds. The air was stale and musty and there was a thin layer of dust coating everything, including Gundam Tanaka. He sat in the corner facing away from the door. His hamsters scurried around chasing each other growing more bored with each second.
He made sure he had stocked up on plenty of sunflower seeds and water for his precious companions. Going out there, past that door, meant putting them at risk. With all of this mutual killing going around it would be foolish to even consider leaving the small room.
It has been hours, maybe even days, since he had last seen a person. Given he was no mere mortal he had no need to be around others. His stomach growled quite loudly. Did he dare leave the cottage? No, it was a stupid thing to even think about.
He just sat in his corner waiting for this murder nonsense to end.
"Sonia Hime why are we checking on him? All he's done for you is let you play with his hamsters and talk about humanities demise." Souda complained loudly as he followed Sonia to Gundam's cottage. He honestly didn't get why she even bothered with the animal bastard.
However, Sonia had put her foot down on this one. "It's been two days. That isn't healthy for anyone especially not in this situation. If you insist on tagging along I highly suggest you cease your rambling or head on back to the hotel."
That shut him up. He followed grumbling to himself as Sonia skipped cheerily to the cottage. It amazed him how she cared so deeply for everyone including the delusional pet breeder.
Gundam lifted his head as he heard voices outside. He couldn't tell exactly what they were saying, but he could tell they had come to get him. He wrapped his scarf around his mouth all the way to his nose to show he didn't plan on speaking.
Seconds later, the door burst open revealing the intruders. Sonia made a beeline straight for the hamsters. Of course she did, Gundam thought to himself. Who would chose me over the four dark lords of destruction?
"Come here little fuzzies. You must come with me down to the beach to have some fun." She skipped away with the hamsters leaving Souda and Gundam in an awkward situation.
"Well, I guess it can't be helped. You comin or what?" Gundam looked up to see the shark toothed mechanic bending over slightly and holding out his hand. Gundam stayed in silence. He wondered what Souda would think of being called sharky.
Gundam groaned inwardly. He did not just give Souda a nickname.
"Oi oi, we came all the way here just to getcha', the least you can do is take my hand." Realizing what he just said a slight blush crept over Souda's face.
Without saying a word, Gundam took his hand and stood up, blushing profusely. Souda could have simply followed after Sonia-chan leaving him alone here right? Maybe someone did care after all.

Everyone was gathered down at the beach for a picnic. That included Sonia and the little ham hams. Hinata who was keeping watch saw Gundam and Souda and waved them over.
Suddenly all conversation stopped as everyone stared at the newcomers. This silence went on for a several moments until finally someone said something.
"Ibuki-chan thought her eyes were deceiving her, but of course she has great eyes, almost as good as her ears! It seems to be a Gundam and Souda holding hands. Oh my, is that a blush Ibuki sees? Of course it is for she has wonderful eyes, almost as good as her ears!"
xXx
AN: I hope this was at least satisfactory for all of my fellow Soudam shippers. I thought Ibuki would be the one to break the silence and I hope I portrayed her well enough.
