My eyes opened. As I started to see straight, I noticed where I was. I was in the lobby of the infirmary at the Sanc Kingdom's palace. In the chairs around me sat half a dozen members of the Royal Guard. Standing against the wall across from me stood the guy I met I guess yesterday and another member of the guard. The other guy had his hand over the gun at his side. I guess he didn't trust me.
A doctor came around the corner. He look at all of us and then smiled a bit.
"She'll be fine. There's no need to worry."
A lot of them looked up at him and seemed to return the smile. Small conversations began between a few of them. They were talking about the battle and the damage done to the city. Others talked about the princess. It was luck that I found her in the rubble. I wasn't sure then that she'd survive, but the doctor's words ended my fear. Relena was the most important person on the entire earth. She was the hope for peace on Earth and in space.
The doctor looked at me and I met his glance. "Sir, she has asked to see you," he told me before walking through the double doors. His voice called out from inside, "Room 122."
I looked at the double doors for another moment. I then lifted myself out of the chair and walked through the doors. I saw the doctor had gone down another hallway. I started to wander, looking at the room numbers as I walked by. The sounds from most of the rooms I passed told me that the hospital was full of the wounded from the battle.
I finally found the room. The door was open, but I knocked anyways. Lt. Noin responded from within, "Yes?"
"The doctor said I was wanted here."
Relena spoke up as I looked into the room, "You're the Gundam pilot, aren't you?" She was sitting in the bed with Noin sitting in a chair next to the bed.
I took a step into the room. My eyes were on Relena as I spoke, "Yes, yes I am."
A worried look appeared on her face, "Then may I ask you about Hiirou…. Is he still alive?"
"Huh? Oh, him. I couldn't be sure. With the way he destructed, he probably didn't-"
"Oh no…" I watched as a tear rolled down her cheek.
I moved my hands a bit, "I didn't know you two were.. together."
She seemed surprised and then looked up at me, "No, we weren't. But he's almost like family to me." Another tear rolled down her cheek. She motioned for me to take a seat next to the bed. I hesitated for a moment, but then went and sat on the opposite side of Noin. I just became silent. I hadn't been around women in a few years, and I had never seen Relena in person before.
Noin broke the silence after around thirty seconds. She had noticed that Relena and I had just been looking at eachother, "How did you get a Gundam? You're not one of the original five."
I broke off eye contact from Relena and looked at Lt. Noin, "I designed and built it with the help of an engineer who used to design mobile suits." I didn't know what was going on in my head. Was I falling in love with the ruler of the world? I blocked that out and focused on the conversation, "It's a brand new design. You shouldn't have heard of it or seen it."
