A/N: Gundam00-nut I can honestly say I look forward to your reviews every time I post a chapter! Thanks!

Narutofan2191- thanks for your reviews as well!

Second part of Day 6!

Let me tell you, the Irish must like their Chinese takeout because they have A LOT of little take out joints in all their cities. I thought it was kind of funny. They have the whole gambit, Mexican, Italian, you name it, but the Chinese places were EVERYWHERE in the cities I visited! Haha!

"Lockon, where are you headed?"Allelujah called out down the hallway to his fellow meister.

Lyle paused and glanced over his shoulder. He had just left his room and was going to get his night started. Allelujah approached the sniper and stopped when Lyle turned to face him.

"You're leaving already?"

Lyle narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the super soldier's face, "What are you getting at?"

Allelujah let out a sigh, "Well, Marie said she wanted to relax this evening and apparently that involves me getting out of her hair…"

Lyle let out a laugh, "So she kicked you out?"

Allelujah looked crestfallen, "I wouldn't say that, but she told me to see what my friends were doing."

Lyle cleared his throat and Allelujah's eyes widened and he turned around quickly to see Marie standing right behind him.

"I'm not trying to get rid of you," she clarified, grabbing his arm with a soft smile, "I wanted to do my own thing since it's our last evening here."

Allelujah gave her a small nod and looked at the gym bag slung over her shoulder. She gave him a smile with loving eyes and patted his shoulder.

"I'm going to work out and maybe go to the pool," she said.

"Enjoy, they've got a nice set up here," Lyle gave her a grin and grabbed Allelujah strongly by the arm, "I'll keep him occupied for the evening."

Marie nodded with a smile and leaned up; placing a kiss on Allelujah's cheek, "I'll see you tonight, okay?"

Allelujah's face softened, "Yeah, I'll see you then."

The two meisters watched as Marie walked down the hall and turned a corner. Lyle glanced over at Allelujah who had a lingering smile on his face.

"Let's go then," Lyle gave him a nod and started walking forward.

"Wait," Allelujah paused and pointed at one of the doors, "Shouldn't we see if Tieria wants to come?"

Lyle chuckled, "You think that stiff will want to tag along? Fine, you can ask him, but don't get your hopes up."

Allelujah turned and knocked on the door. He waited and the door opened momentarily with a click. Tieria looked at Allelujah and narrowed his eyes when he saw Lyle standing at a distance in the hallway.

"What is it?"

Allelujah nodded at Lyle, "Lockon and I are going out and we wanted to know if you wanted to come."

Tieria let out a sigh and glanced over his shoulder back into the room.

"Leave him alone, he doesn't have to come," Lyle tossed his head with a huff as he grew impatient.

"No…" Tieria trailed off, "I'll come."

Both Lyle and Allelujah's eyes grew wide with surprise. Tieria couldn't help but smirk at their reactions. Since when did they think they could predict his actions?

"You know we're going out to drink, don't you?" Lyle asked slowly.

"Of course I do," Tieria shrugged as he stepped out into the hallway and closed the door behind him.

"Isn't Setsuna in there?" Allelujah suddenly asked.

Tieria shook his head, "No, Feldt came a while ago and asked him to go to dinner with her."

Allelujah gaped, "Really? Setsuna actually agreed to do that?"

Tieria nodded, "He did."

Lyle gritted his teeth impatiently, "Enough chit chat, I want to get going because time is ticking."

"Aren't we going to eat first?" Allelujah asked.

Lyle sighed and his face fell. It was as though every second that went by more and more things were coming between him and a bar. He hadn't even thought about food but deep down he knew it was necessary because drinking on an empty stomach was a bad idea that would leave him in bed puking into a bucket.

"Fine, we'll find a place on the way," Lyle stated dryly as he started walking briskly down the hallway.

"I'm surprised you're coming," Allelujah remarked as they trailed after the sniper.

"That idiot up there needs someone to watch him," Tieria bluntly said.

Allelujah laughed, "Yeah, he seems pretty intent on hitting the bars tonight, but I can't blame him after what he's been through."

Tieria rolled his eyes, "He lets his emotions rule his life, it's ridiculous… Sometimes I don't understand why humans act the way they do."

Allelujah shrugged, "It's because we're human, we aren't perfect."

Tieria sighed, it was true that he seemed to relate more with humans than he did innovators, but sometimes humans were such an enigma.

"Where's Marie?" Tieria asked as they walked through the hotel lobby and out the front door.

"She's enjoying her evening," Allelujah replied.

"Did she get sick of you?"

Allelujah's eyebrows shot up, "No, she just wanted to do her own thing, it's not a big deal. I think I'm needed more here anyway. Didn't Lockon say something about the area we're going to being dangerous?"

Tieria nodded, "He did."

"It's good we're coming along then. Even though he said he'd be fine there's always a possibility he could get into trouble, especially if he's drunk," Allelujah told the innovade.

"You're right, but that still doesn't make the idea of babysitting a grown man any more appealing," Tieria growled.

….

Feldt rubbed her palms together nervously as she walked down the sidewalk next to Setsuna. She couldn't believe they were finally alone and were going out. This was definitely a date, no doubt about it... she'd waited so long for this moment. She blinked and looked up at Setsuna who was staring ahead with his chestnut eyes. Did he really have any type of romantic feelings for her? The black haired meister had basically told her he didn't know what it was like to love someone else.

"Feldt?"

The pink haired girl's head shot up to look at Setsuna who was eyeing her skeptically.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Feldt answered quickly with a sheepish smile, "I was thinking, that's all."

Setsuna's face softened, "Where did you want to eat?"

Feldt pursed her lips and glanced around the busy street at the variety of restaurants. The street lights were beginning to come on as the sun hovered lowly over the horizon.

"How about there?" Feldt pointed across the cobblestone street to a small Italian restaurant.

Setsuna looked down at the girl next to him and saw that her green eyes appeared to be glittering in the evening light. Her innocence and kind nature had always brought a strange calm over him. He inhaled deeply and a small smile made its way across his lips. The Krugis meister reached up and gently put his gloved hand between her shoulder blades; giving her a small push. Feldt eyes widened and she looked to the man next to her.

"Let's go then," he said softly.

…..

"What's with all the takeout places?" Allelujah mumbled as he glanced around.

Allelujah and Tieria were now ahead of Lyle who had told them to choose where they wanted to eat. He followed at a bit of a distance and seemed to glance longingly at each pub he passed.

"What about this place?" Tieria nodded at an upcoming building.

"We're in Ireland and you want spaghetti?" Allelujah laughed lightly.

The two meisters paused and glanced in the front window where they could see that the restaurant was dimly lit on the inside. The tables were neatly set and there were lit candles in the center of them. Allelujah and Tieria both inhaled sharply at the same time and looked at each other with wide eyes.

"Is this where we're going? It's about time you two made up your minds," Lyle said as he caught up with them.

Allelujah jerked his head in Lyle's direction as the older meister closed in. The super soldier gave Tieria a shove and the innovade let out a growl.

"No! We're going… over there," Allelujah pointed in no particular direction and Tieria shook his head in disappointment.

Lyle's face fell as he looked past Allelujah's hand.

"You want to go to a strip club?"

Allelujah spun around and his jaw dropped slightly as he realized he was pointing to a building with blinking neon signs.

"You moron," Tieria muttered under his breath.

Lyle shrugged, "Whatever floats your boat man…"

Allelujah cringed, there was no way… Marie would kill him.

"This is a really nice place," Feldt marveled as she looked around the fancy restaurant, "Too bad I feel so underdressed."

Setsuna shook his head, "You're fine."

The pair got their drinks and ordered their dinner. As they waited Feldt traced the lip of her wine glass. She stared at the pink liquid inside and looked over at Setsuna with a smile.

"Thanks for coming with me," she told him.

Setsuna leaned back in his chair, "I wanted to come."

Feldt's heart began hammering in her chest and she wondered if she should be bolder. Should she ask him about their previous conversation? She had already told him how she felt but he had yet to reveal much about his own feelings. The engineer didn't want to pry because she knew that Setsuna had a crippled heart which made it difficult to express himself. Feldt sighed in frustration and looked over at the window where she could see people walking by out on the sidewalk. She reached for her wine and was sipping it when her eyes once again went to the window. Her eyebrows shot up and she set down her glass quickly with a look of surprise. Setsuna watched her with a curious expression and the pink haired girl wordlessly pointed her finger. Setsuna turned in his seat to see what she was looking at.

"What are they doing here?" the black haired meister questioned.

"Allelujah and Tieria? I wonder where Marie is…" Feldt trailed off.

Setsuna's dark eyebrows rose as his eyes met with Allelujah and Tieria's for a fraction of a second.

"They see us!" Feldt said and waved with a smile.

The pink haired girl's face fell as Allelujah's face filled with panic and Tieria looked irritated. Her eyes widened when Lyle appeared out of nowhere and started talking to them.

"Don't worry about them," Setsuna shrugged as he turned back around in his seat, "They must have decided to go with Lockon this evening."

"I can't believe Tieria is with them," Feldt couldn't help but laugh.

Setsuna looked puzzled, "Neither can I… I thought he would stay at the hotel this evening."

"The others probably thought the same thing about you," Feldt told him.

Setsuna drank from his glass of water and placed it down with a sigh. He watched as Feldt picked up her wine glass with rosy cheeks.

"Let's quit dancing around the issue," Setsuna suddenly said, "We both know what we need to talk about."

Feldt gulped, she had been waiting for this to happen but still felt the need to avoid the topic.

"Do you have anything you want to say?" the black haired meister asked her.

Feldt shook her head, "Setsuna I've told you how I feel…"

The Krugis man listened to her sentence trail off, "But you want to know what I'm thinking, right?"

Feldt nodded slowly, "I do."

…..

"Thank you," Allelujah whispered lowly to Tieria as they sat in a small seafood restaurant.

Tieria rolled his eyes as he remembered the scene he had made a while ago in the street. He got Allelujah off the hook by throwing a royal fit about going into a dirty strip club. It was true he didn't have any interest in watching half naked girls dance around, but he still would have enjoyed seeing Allelujah squirm.

"I didn't know you felt so strongly about gentlemen's clubs," Lyle chuckled as he took a swig of the beer he ordered with his meal.

"There's a lot you don't know about me," Tieria spat back, sending Allelujah a glare.

"You like women… right? Because the way you reacted has me asking some serious questions," Lyle spoke with a suggestive glance.

Tieria gritted his teeth, "I don't like men Lockon," he growled venomously.

Lyle held his hands up innocently, "Hey, I had to ask."

…..

Setsuna swallowed uneasily, "I've told you I'm not good talking about my feelings. I don't know what it's like to love someone so I can't tell you how I feel."

Feldt nodded slowly, "I understand and as I said before, I can teach you."

"You feel that strongly about me?" Setsuna asked seriously.

"I do… I've known for a while now, but you've had much bigger things to worry about and accomplish."

"I never noticed… how you felt" Setsuna said honestly.

"It's not your fault, your position as a Gundam meister takes priority and I understand that," Feldt told him quietly.

"That's not fair to you, we've talked about this before. Why are you suddenly okay with coming second to my position as double O's pilot?"

Feldt sighed, "It's true I was upset when you said it before… but the more I thought about it the more I realized how important you are to Celestial Being. It would be selfish of me to tell you to place a relationship before the fate of the world."

"Feldt…" Setsuna trailed off as their dinners arrived.

The pair ate in silence and thought about what the other had said.

"Is it possible for this to even work?" Feldt suddenly asked, "I need to know."

Setsuna sighed, "I doubt it will be easy."

Feldt's face fell and she stared down at her empty wine glass, suddenly wishing it was full once again. She knew that the weight of the world rested on Setsuna's shoulders. It would be silly to ask him to throw a relationship in the mix.

"I doubt it will be easy," Setsuna stated again, "But I'd like to give it a shot."

Feldt's eyes grew wide and she stared at the man across from her with a look of surprise.

"Allelujah finds a way to make it work, and Lyle did as well before Anew…" Setsuna trailed off as he remembered killing his fellow meister's lover.

Feldt's lips parted and she found herself speechless. Setsuna was truly a wonder. He had never been loved or loved anyone and here he was willing to put himself in a vulnerable position. Feldt couldn't help as admiration for the man in front of her welled in her chest… he was very special.

"Finally!" Lyle exclaimed as he slammed an empty glass on a wooden bar top.

The trio had finished their dinner and traveled to the Temple bar district. Allelujah and Tieria noticed immediately that the area they were in was quite shady. Lyle didn't appear to be fazed by the situation but the other two meisters remained alert.

"Keep an eye on him," Tieria muttered to Allelujah, "I'll be right back."

The super soldier nodded as Tieria disappeared into the crowd that was crammed into the bar. He turned back to Lyle and watched as the sniper ordered another drink. He had already downed several and his cheeks were flushed. Time went by and Allelujah glanced around warily, wondering where Tieria went.

"Maybe he's the one I should have kept my eye on…" Allelujah muttered as he sipped on his own drink.

"You're back!" Lyle grinned at the approaching innovade after a few more minutes passed.

Tieria's crimson eyes appeared to be blazing and the innovade squeezed his fists.

"What's eating you?" Lyle asked.

"Some ass back there thought I was a woman," Tieria growled, "He tried to come on to me so I taught him a lesson."

Lyle howled in laughter and Allelujah couldn't help but snicker as well.

"It's not funny," Tieria snapped.

"You did cross dress as a woman that one time," Allelujah brought up.

"You're actually a very attractive woman," Lyle shrugged.

"Enough!" Tieria hissed.

"That was a great dinner, thank you," Feldt told Setsuna as they made their way back to the hotel.

The sun had long set and the street lamps lit their way back to where they were staying. It was cold and Feldt shuddered as a chill ran up her spine. Setsuna glanced down at her with a frown and hesitantly wrapped his arm around the engineer's shoulders. He wordlessly pulled her close to his side. A warm fuzzy feeling welled in Feldt's chest and she couldn't help but smile.

"Are you cold?" he asked her in a low voice.

Feldt leaned into the man next to her and inhaled his masculine scent. He still smelled fresh from his earlier shower and Feldt closed her eyes.

"I'm fine now," she told him as she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist as they continued moving.

Surprise flashed over the meister's features but he quickly regained his composure. The pair arrived at the hotel and entered the front door. Feldt sighed in relief as she stepped out of the cool night air. She unwrapped her arms from Setsuna's waist and the black haired meister immediately took his arm from her shoulders; stepping away. As he tried to increase the distance between them, Feldt reached out and grabbed his sleeve. Setsuna stared down at the girl next to him with questioning chestnut eyes. She confidently laced her fingers in his and started toward the stairs.

Feldt led Setsuna down the hall and paused at her own room which came before his. She turned to the black haired meister and stared up at him with searching green eyes. Setsuna looked uncomfortable and Feldt couldn't help but smile. He was the complete opposite of Lyle who was carefree and confident. When she was with Lyle she felt like such a novice that knew nothing. It was true that the sniper had taught her a lot about the art of romance and love making in the past few days, but she didn't think she was quite ready to become the teacher in her relationship with Setsuna. Feldt let out an uneasy sigh, she had a bit more experience than he did, but there was still so much to learn. The engineer quickly made up her mind that instead of teaching Setsuna, she would learn together with him.

"I had a really nice evening," Feldt told him.

Setsuna nodded, "I'm glad."

Feldt pulled out her room key, "Back to work starting tomorrow I guess."

"It is," Setsuna confirmed.

"I hope that we continue to get closer," she spoke quietly.

Setsuna reached out and grabbed her wrist, staring at her with piercing eyes, "We will."

Feldt's mouth dropped in shock and she leaned into the black haired meister without thinking. She reached up and grabbed the sides of his face and pressed her lips to his. Setsuna didn't pull back and remained still as she tasted his lower lip. The systems engineer ran her fingers through his wild black hair and marveled at its coarseness. Lyle's hair was incredibly soft and smooth and Setsuna's was the opposite. She liked the rugged feel of it and pulled on it instinctively. Setsuna let out a grunt of surprise and couldn't help but lean back to stare down at her in surprise.

"I'm sorry," Feldt immediately said, her blush growing as she felt embarrassed.

"It's fine," Setsuna said, a small smile finding its way across his lips, "I never knew you could be aggressive like that. You're such a soft spoken girl."

Feldt swallowed dryly and didn't know what to say. Setsuna gave her a pat on the shoulder and a small nod as he stepped back.

"It looks like I still have a lot to learn about you, Feldt Grace," the black haired meister said in a lower voice.

Feldt stared after Setsuna with wide eyes until he disappeared into his room. She stared at her own door and touched her lips.

"Setsuna…"

…..

"How long are we going to stay here?" Allelujah asked Tieria.

The innovade glanced over a clock hanging on the wall in the dim light. He squinted his crimson eyes and pushed his glasses up his nose with a huff.

"He would stay here all night if he could."

Allelujah nodded, "I know, and that's why we're here."

"We'll give him till midnight," Tieria stated.

"Two more hours?" Allelujah moaned.

"Why not? He's having a good time," Tieria shrugged.

Allelujah sighed, "I guess he's been through a lot lately… he deserves to cut loose, but he's going to be sick tomorrow if he keeps this up."

"He can do what he wants, who are we to tell him he can't drink himself into a coma? The only reason we're here is to make sure he makes it back to his room safely."

Allelujah nodded, "You're right."

Lyle turned in his seat, "You guys realize that I can still hear don't you? I'm not some mindless drunk, I can handle myself. I don't need you two watching me. You make me out to be some sap who is drinking his sorrows away. I'd be doing this even if my life was perfect," he winked at the two meisters with his last statement.

"An Irishman until the end I suppose," Tieria mumbled as Lyle motioned for the bartender to make him another drink.

A/N: Alright, the second part of day 6 is complete! Obviously I feel like Setsuna and Feldt would move much slower than Lyle and Feldt. Lyle is an experienced guy so it's natural he'd be quicker when it came to physical stuff. Setsuna is clueless when it comes to girls, let's be honest, so he's going to be slow on the uptake. I also didn't want Feldt sleeping with Lyle one day and then two days later jumping into the sack with Setsuna, that's not realistic! Thank you readers and reviewers!
