Character Bonding Scenes
Chapter 10 - Lindow
A/N: This Fanfiction will be based on the after-battle character cut-scenes of God Eater Resurrection. The character I will be using is named "Winter" (male). His appearance is not important so just imagine it as what you want him to look like.
Winter's POV
When I woke up earlier today I thought that today would be a good day but that changed as soon as I looked at the calendar on my wall.
PHYSICAL EXAM IN INFIRMARY AT 8:00. It read under today's date.
"Shit." I say aloud before proceeding to get out of bed and getting ready for the day ahead. When I am fully dressed, I look towards the digital clock near me.
7:50 it read an I decide to walk to the infirmary to get this physical test over with.
Upon entering the infirmary, I find Lindow on one of the beds.
"You scheduled for a physical today too? Man, I always dread these things." He says as he notices me approach him.
"Yep. I thought I'd arrange one nice and early to get it over with." I tell him.
"Great minds think alike I suppose. Sakuya arranged one for late in the afternoon so she's going to be nervous all day. I told her to arrange it for earlier but she wouldn't have it." Lindow explains and I sit on the bed next to his. He keeps flexing his Hannibal arm.
"How does it feel to have that?" I ask him in genuine curiosity, wondering how he's able to complete simple tasks.
"Well, I'd rather have this than not be here at all." He chuckles before getting would I could only define as soppy,
"It serves as a reminder that I almost lost my way. If it hadn't been for you and Ren then I never have returned."
"You are being unusually soppy. Please stop before you make me throw up." I tell him and I'm not sure if I mean it or I'm just joking. After all, it is unusual to hear Lindow being that way.
"Hahaha, no problem. Just thought you should know that it is because of you and..."
"I get it. You owe your life to Ren and I." I interrupt him and silence consumes us for a few minutes.
"What I want to know is, how did Ren show up if only we could see him?" He asks.
"Funny story actually, well I was hospitalised after the 1st Unit's first encounter with a Hannibal. Then, once I was released from the infirmary, I wasn't able to go back into the field for another few days. One day though, when all the other God Eaters were away from the Den on duty, a Vajratail attacked the Den. I headed towards God Arc Storage Area 2 so that I could get my God Arc to defeat it. Licca happened to be there and had locked up all the God Arcs apart from yours and so I had to take it. I was in searing pain for a few minutes but once the Vajratail burst through the doors of the Warehouse then I swung your Arc at it. I could only swing once before the pain shot up my shoulder again which is when Ren showed up and shot it, telling me to finish it. So with one final sweep, I killed it but I collapsed due to the pain after that. The next thing I know, I wake up in a hospital bed with Licca and Ren at my bedsides." I explain Ren's first appearance to Lindow.
"You used my God Arc and didn't die? Wow, that is something." He says before a question pops up into his head, "Wait, if Licca was also by your bedside then did she notice Ren?"
"No she didn't. It's just like you said, we were the only ones to notice him. He became a good friend after that as well. It's a shame really. I wanted to get to know him better." I explain to him.
"You know, I've noticed something about the missions with you and without you. It seems that my Arc is stronger when you with me on a mission. Maybe that is Ren trying to call out to you." Lindow tells me.
"It could be. I won't know unless I actually touch your Arc again. Maybe after our next mission?" I ask.
"Yeah, of course. He may even come back to his human form so that I can hang out with him!" Lindow shouts in excitement. He shouts so loud, in fact, that one of the nurses has to come over to silence him.
After another 5 minutes, Lindow is finished with his physical exam.
"Well, I'll be off now. I've gotta make sure to keep you around though. I'm never bored around you." He tells me with a small smile before leaving the infirmary.
"Okay, Mr. Winter, it's time for your physical." The nurse tells me.
'Damn you, Lindow. I kept you company for your physical, you could have kept me company for mine.' I think to myself as the nurse prepares the equipment.
