Rated PG-13 for... nothing really bad… just… thinking.
I don't own G Gundam or any of its characters. I sure wish I did though! At least little figurines of them or something cool like that…!
Every rose has its thorns. With the technology to make Gundams and put colonies into space, you'd think they would make the rose a less deathly flower. But, that would spoil the precious flower, wouldn't it? If it were perfect, it would lose its intrigue, its peculiarity.
That's what you are, George. Those lovely flowers you're known for. Of course, I don't mean that in a negative fashion. No, not at all. You're gorgeous, like the rose… but you have thorns. Are you simply not aware of my affections? Or are you ignoring them, pretending you don't see, so my feelings aren't hurt because you don't reciprocate them? I refuse to believe you can be so oblivious. You're a well-educated gentleman. So, that just leaves the second option.
So many suitors try to woo me… but, I want only you. Why have a tulip, a lily or an orchid when you can have a rose? Oh, but I can't even have the rose. Just admire it from afar. Thorns prick you if you touch them. Just as you hurt me when my comments and hints go unnoticed or simply ignored.
You are such a chivalric gentleman. How am I supposed to interpret a kiss on the hand or flowers from you? Are they romantic gestures? Or simply polite ones? Or even just respect because I'm the princess?
I really don't understand you, George. When I asked you if you would fight for me… you told me you would… for me and the country. And you didn't even realize how your answer affected me. Then, you go and save me when the Eiffel Tower collapsed, almost at the cost of your Gundam's head and the entire tournament. To add onto that, you swore you're going to win the Gundam fight for me. For me? Because I'm me, Maria Louise? Or because I'm Princess Maria Louise of Neo France?
Your contradicting words, ambiguous answers and mix of platonic and almost romantic gestures confuse and hurt me so much, George. But, I suppose, all roses must have thorns.
* Author's Notes: Just to clear things up first… this is just Maria Louise thinking to herself. I don't know about you, but, I address people in my mind when I think. Of course, I'm not sane either, so… XD
This is set post episode 4. My muse was just crying out for a GG fic. Hope I did Maria's character justice, with her thoughts and feelings towards George. Poor girl.
