Do you even understand how inappropriate that was?!
I think you misunderstand me, lady, I was in there only because I was trying to make sure she was ok!
Look, Maxwell, you might have everyone else fooled with the happy-go-lucky attitude and the good samaritan drivel but I know your type, you're the type that waits till someone is weak and then you strike, she's vulnerable right now and if you EVER try anything I WILL come after you, Gundam Pilot or not. Let's not forget I also know a thing or two in the field.
Noin grimaced at the thought.
What the hell is wrong with me...for all I know he was telling the truth...
Her room was dark and cold. She was cold herself but in her depressed state she had stopped caring about temperatures.
Zechs hadn't called, he hadn't shown, and she hated him with a thousand hells. And for that matter, she also hated Duo even if he wasn't guilty, she hated all men period.
That poor kid...to have come out here all alone from another universe and to be sent back empty-handed...
Noin's report was througrough. The probabilty of success against these magical gundams, or whatever they were, was close to 3.223 percent, and that was with the optimal conditions.
It would be suicide...but it's not like we haven't done that before. I know Relena will want to help and everyone else will do what she says, because all Relena ever does is 'always' right. Maybe her brother can actually listen to her for once instead of acting mute.
When the door opened, she jumped with gun in hand.
"Identify yourself"- Noin's room had the misfortune of being shrouded in darkness thanks to the forest near it. It was a quieter location within the castle, but it had its obvious drawbacks. For one, it let in very little light.
"I wish to talk, if possible" - he entered the room and sat on the bed.
"No" - her gun was still in her hand - "And if you move a muscle I WILL shoot you"
"Noin...I was a fool" - Zechs face moved into the few moonlight available, and he slowly approached Noin who was at the lower left corner of the bed - "This is for you"
He placed it on the bed. It was long and soft, with a red ribbon around it.
And it was blonde.
Noin gasped and put her gun away slowly "Zechs...your hair...no..."
When she pulled him closer by the shoulders to check, he did not resist. Noin inspected the cut, the shorter length, she knew what it meant to him. The past, his father's past, his grandfather's past. And the throne. It was more than an apology, it meant she was more important to him than his own family. His own heritage.
She took it all in, all the pain, and she realized how angry she had been, how destroyed.
And how all of that had simply vanished with the simple gift. Zech's hair on a ponytail, on her bed.
"I suppose I will have to grow mine now if I want to show gratitude" - She said, smiling for the first time in a long time
"I won't stop you" - A hint of amusement in his voice. He waited patiently to be given permission
The kiss came hurriedly but softly.
He responded well into morning.
_Angst, Gundam, and Harry._
AN: Another chapter. This one is very small but I felt it needed to end there. Finally some good news for our Noin!
Reviews welcome, always.
