I just wanted to say that my knowledge of the battles in Gundam SEED is very, very low. I frankly only know about the last battle, since I started watching around that time. So I don't even know if this scene is possible, so I'm gonna call it PWP. I wanted to re-write the hangar scene between them before he goes off and dies on his merry little way.
oOo
The hangar was busy, soldiers filing themselves this way and that. The noise was almost unbearable: mobile suits starting up for launch, mechanics ordered to one side and then the other, and people mingling over the roar of everything else. She hurriedly made her way around obstacles of tools and onlookers; dodging until getting to the one person she came after in the first place.
He was busying himself, strapping on the suit and infamous helmet. The purple on it looked to be almost black, dimmed by the unseen lights. Adjusting it, he caught her coming towards him in the corner of his eye and stopped. He chuckled, watching her mumble and fidget nervously.
"So now I get a dispatch party? What happened to the few other times?"
She frowned, moving a stray bang back. Moving a little closer, she bit her tongue and looked extremely desperate to find the right words.
"… Just don't be that cocky out there, alright?" He noticed she was anxious, sheepish and apparently lost.
"Sure thing, Captain," he responded, pulling at a glove.
"We need you," she tried again. He raised an eyebrow, poking at her shoulder absently. "Do they need me, or only you? You're forgettin' the kid," he inquired, pointing a finger towards the Freedom, dull and restless against the hangar wall.
She straightened reluctantly; palm now resting over his gloved one.
"Yes, Commander. I need you. Is that a sufficient answer?"
She saw the big grin spreading over his face, his grip on her shoulder tightening.
The officer rolled his neck around, popping it. "Murrue, that's a perfectly reasonable answer." She smiled and hesitated, letting him pull her into an embrace.
"And I need you in here to believe in me, so fair's fair."
"Alright then, Mu, alright."
oOo
Aquarius: Yes, I've taken that into consideration. I can do that easily, but I tend to just write really quick and be done with it. Thanks for the comment, anyways.
Cat: I'm glad you like it, I think this is one of my favorite pairings ever.
