Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam SEED.

Hey everybody! I'm back with the third chapter.

Just to clarify a few things, this story only has things in common with GS2 as far as the time placement and the fact that Miriallia is a war photographer, Dearka has been demoted, Athrun is Cagalli's bodyguard, Kira and Lacus take care of orphans, and things like that. I don't know anymore about GS2 than that, really because I live in the USA and don't get to watch the series yet. Hey I haven't even gotten to see the end of GS. The information I have about GS2 is just what I've read in read ups. This story is just for fun!

"Is that you Dearka?" Miriallia could not believe what her eyes were seeing. "Oh my…can't believe it's you… It's been so long, Dearka….. It's been two years!"

There eyes were glued to each other for several moments until Miriallia felt another tug at her camera. Only this time, he gently took the camera out of the palm of her hands. He backed up away from her a little and this gave her an overall scene of how he looked. "he's wearing a different uniform" Miriallia noticed that his uniform was green and white instead of the usual top gun uniform, which was red and black, that he had worn when he was captured by the Archangel. "I think I liked you better in the red uniform. It made you look… so…important." But, she had to admit, he did, still, look good, even if she thought the uniform he was wearing didn't flatter him any.

As he pulled the camera from her grasp, he mouthed the words, "I'm sorry", and then kept staring at her. This unnerved her somewhat and caused a scarlet blush to flow to her cheeks, again.

"Those eyes…I can't stop looking at her eyes! I still can't believe that it's you…that you're here…that you're right next to me…that you still remember me. Wait a second…you called be by my first name. You do still remember me!", Dearka was ecstatic about the new found revelation.

They were still in a semi-trance state until the Commander awakened them from it. "Well, since I'm not quite sure what to do with you at the moment, I think that I'll have you taken out of my sight", he stated calmly, "Jubin…"

"So that is his name." Miriallia watched as the assassin responded to the name.

"Take a….a…take this natural back to her to her cell and get her out of my sight". The silver haired man commanded.

Dearka rolled his eyes "Her name is Miriallia Haww. Man. You can't even remember a name for five seconds." Dearka felt like correcting the Commander, but, restrained himself.

Jubin grabbed Miriallia's arm and started to lead her away, but not before she reuttered her questions. "Where am I! What do you want with me!"

The Commander was starting to get aggravated. "Get her out of my sight!"

With this, Dearka threw him a mean, satire, glare over his shoulder.

"Gosh, what his problem?" The Commander, who had known Dearka for several years, was flustered as to why he suddenly turned on him like that.

Jubin followed the Commander's orders and led Miriallia out of the bridge, with a not so gentle an embrace.

After a few minutes of contemplating what just happened and what he was going to do next, Dearka ran out of the bridge, without being dismissed, and went searching for Miriallia. He found her, already locked back in her cell, sitting on her hard bed, still dazed from that days happenings. He also found a curious Jubin. He was standing out side of her cell, watching her, eyeing her, as though he was somehow interested in her. "Man. she is cute, though"

Dearka walked up to him and told him to leave them alone for a few minutes. Jubin wasn't sure about it, but he ended up leaving them together. Dearka unlocked the cell door and strode in. Miriallia looked up when he did this. "Dearka?"

"Yeah, it's me. I came to talk to you." Dearka was nervous. "Gosh…what is wrong with you, Dearka. You haven't acted nervous around a girl since you were in the third grade, when you asked the really popular girl to go out with you and she turned you down…flat!"

"Oh?" Miriallia prompted, because he just suddenly stopped right after he said that.

"Yeah. It's been so long since we've seen each other…" Dearka was now officially groping for words. He didn't know what to say to this girl and he didn't know why. "It's good to see you, after all these years". It had actually only been two years, but it felt like an eternity to him.

"Yeah. It's good to see you too." Miriallia said this blandly, but was glad that he was glad to see her.

Dearka sat down next to her. "Woah! This bed is hard!"

"Yeah, I know."

"We aught to get this taken care of", Dearka was upset that this beautiful creature was being forced to sleep on a rock, or, at least the mattress felt like a rock. "I'm going to go talk to Yzak about this. You should be in actual quarters, not in a prison cell." Dearka stood up and walked over to the door. He unlocked it, opened it, and began to walk through it.

Just then, Miriallia stopped him. "Dearka!"

Dearka stopped dead in his tracks. His name sounded so good when it was said from her lips. It sounded so pure. "Yes?"

Miriallia, not knowing why she stopped him in the first place, racked her brain for a reason. "I…I just wanted to say thank you, for….for… for seeing what you can do about my living conditions".

Dearka nodded and left her to wonder at why she had such a hard time talking to him, why she felt so nervous, and why she blushed every time she looked into those beautiful lavender eyes.

YAAY! I finished another chapter. And pretty quickly too. I hope you all enjoyed this one. It has a little more Dearka/Miri than the others so you should like it more. Anyways, please leave a review after reading it. Thanks.
