Remembrance crystal part 1
As the condor set a course for gundstaff's terra, Piper went to lie down on her bed after a tiring rescue.
*Piper's POV*
It's so relieving to have Aerrow back and to know that he's safe. I may not remember anything but there's something about him that makes my heart feel so warm inside. Whenever I think about him my heart skips a beat.
After a few minutes of letting thoughts of Aerrow race through my mind, there was a knock on my door.
"May I come in?" softly asked a voice from outside the door as I instantly forgot my thoughts and sat up.
"Yes of course" I replied as Aerrow shyly walked into the room towards me.
"You okay Piper? I haven't seen you since… you rescued me." Aerrow blushed at the thought, looking down at the floor and placing both of his hands together in front of him.
"Yea, I guess I'm okay" Piper gave a small warming smile, whilst staring out of the window into the sky.
"Aerrow… what was I like before I lost my memory?" she continued, looking back at him, her smile starting to fade. Wondering how to describe her, he sat on the bed next to her, he paused before he spoke.
"Piper….the old Piper…. was simply amazing" he looked into her eyes as he placed a hand on hers.
"She's the bestest friend a guy could ask for" he continued as he started to tighten his hand. He looked away as a tear streamed down his face. Piper noticed Aerrow trying to hold back the tears; she leaned forward towards him and wrapped her arms tightly round him to comfort him.
"I'm sure you're the bestest friend she could ask for too… your certainly mine." Piper concluded, burying her face into his shoulder. Aerrow then placed his arms round Piper.
"You don't understand…" he mumbled, squeezing Piper tightly, not wanting to let go. Piper removed her face from his shoulder.
"What don't I understand?" she questioned, Aerrow didn't reply for a while.
"I…I…" he began, losing his confidence. Piper continued to stare at his face, trying to listen to what he was about to say. He removed a hand from around her body and placed her ear next to his lips.
"I loved her…" he admitted as he began to cry, tears began to stream down his face as he couldn't hold in the pain any longer.
"She means everything to me and I never told her" he placed both of his hands on his face to hide the tears. Piper paused before placing his hands on her waist and giving him a kiss on the lips. After a few seconds, Aerrow pulled away in astonishment.
"You didn't have to do that…" he began to wipe the tears from his eyes.
"I wanted too… ever since you saved me on vapos I haven't stopped thinking about you." Piper leaned back in embarrassment.
"I wish the old Piper loved me" he sighed, looking down at the floor.
"Were approaching Gundstaff's terra!" Stork's voice boomed through the condor as Aerrow and Piper leapt off the bed and headed to the bridge. As Stork pulled up on to the terra, Aerrow noticed that the front door was being guarded by talons.
"Battle stations everyone!" Aerrow spat as Finn, Junko and Stork bolted for hanger bay. Piper was about to join them when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"You leave this to us" Aerrow firmly suggested as she turned around. "I don't want you getting hurt, why don't you go get some rest." Not wanting to fight him, Piper obeyed his command. "Just one more thing…" he continued as he placed his hand on her back and leant forward to give her a sweet passionate kiss on the lips, then looked deep into her eyes. "I'll treasure that moment forever." He gave a quick smile before running off.
"I love you to…" she whispered to herself, holding her hand out.
