I like this one a lot, for some odd reasons. See, it's longer!! Yay! I told you I could muster up something else. I wrote about ten of these things last night. I'm wondering why some of the most obnoxious stories out there get more love than this thing. I bet stories with OCs get more feedback than this.
WARNINGS: overuse of the word sometimes.

Sometimes, she would go to the top of the stairs, right outside the door of the rocket. Sometimes, she would lean over the edge and look down upon the wild grass. No one ever mowed; there wasn't a lawnmower in working condition. She would frown at the scenery around her, feeling like a lowly prisoner.
Sometimes, she would feel like a damsel. She would let the bun on her head fall and let her hair be disarrayed around her shoulders. She wished it would collapse to the ground, like Rapunzel. It'd make her feel like a princess, and someone would climb up the strands (or maybe not, that would hurt a lot, wouldn't it?) and rescue her.
Sometimes, he'd catch her up there, and stare obnoxiously. He'd sometimes wonder why she perched herself there.. He knew she wasn't sulking though; she wasn't the kind to sulk. So sometimes he'd yell up at her, and climb up the detour route (remember, she doesn't have long hair), and timidly clench her shoulder.
Sometimes, he'd have an excuse ("I'm ready for dinner, you need to get started on it"), or just a silent and solemn expression. He sometimes let her lead herself, in front of him down the stairs, or the pilot would grasp her forearm and do it himself.
Sometimes, she'd feel empty inside, slaving away at chores.
Sometimes, she'd feel rescued by a dusty, oiled up prince (who wasn't good at the whole carrying thing, supposedly), and he led her away from distress.
Sometimes, she just needed that reassurance.

Mako Red Eyes: You know. Thinking about Cid and Shera in an power outage.. I get images. Disturbingly good images. I'm not challenging you, I'm still gathering the will to open one up. I first found the doujinshi before the fiction, so I think that did it for me. Doujinishis are scary.
