Shivers

Its raining.

The most important things that happen to me, happens on a rainy night. It was raining then, the day my father bought her home. From the moment I saw her shivering, wet, and eyes full of tears, I knew I would always keep her with me.

"Papa, I'll take care of her. She needs me."

"Millardo, this is Lucretzia, she came from Italy her family is dead, all of them, we are all she has. Take care of her well son."

From then on we were always together, she never called me Millardo, only Zechs, and I always called her Noin. On rainy nights she would crawl into bed with me shivering with every clap of thunder.

On one such night she was laying with me we heard screams. I dragged her into the hall, I had to make sure I kept her safe, it was my job. In the hall we came across my mother who tried to lead us to safety. When they killed her I saw my father whose last words were for us to take care of each other. Noin was screaming as they killed him, it had only been a few month since the same thing happened to her family in Italy.

When she fell off the balcony I knew I had lost her forever. I ran through the halls I had to get to her. Thats when I came upon one of the kitchen ladies, and she was holding Relena in her arms. She handed Relena to me and shooed me out a door telling me to run.

So many soldiers everywhere there was nowhere safe to go to. A man stepped out of the shadows and whispered "Follow me, I will take you out of here, you will be safe." He spoke of how he couldn't believe that children were being killed on this foolhardy mission.

That man I will never forget

Otto.

Years later at The Alliance Military Academy for orphans, I was tackled by a girl.

A girl. Half my size.

And as she yelled at me about her lost family, friends and thunder, I couldn't help the shiver that ran up my spine.

Noin. It couldn't be, they had killed her.

I turned to stare at her, she seems shocked to see me. Does she recognize me? It doesn't matter, I have to hold her, speak to her, kiss her.

Once again we were inseparable, but this was different. She gave me shivers, when I heard her laugh, when she whispered my name, and when she touched me. The feel of her hand lightly touching my arm made the pit of my stomach hot, and my heart leap.

What was she doing to me?

It was raining. I held her under me, I couldn't stop kissing her, with her I felt complete, that nothing else mattered as long as she was here.

This is a woman that I would make queen.

Thats how I felt then at the academy, and its how I feel now with her snuggled up next to me sleeping.

Eggs. Its what I cooked for her to eat, the only thing that could be cooked quickly and quietly, with easy clean up. I never imagined she would eat eight of them.

And she claims I can't cook eggs.

"I can't sleep when your thinking, you grumble. What is it thats keeping you awake.?"

"The horrific sight of you inhaling eight eggs, has me sick to my stomach."

I was caught off guard by the pillow that hit me in the face, there is only one way to end this. Quickly I wrap my arms around her and we roll to the side, right off the bed she shrieks and giggles, as I start tickling her.

"Sir, if you are having trouble sleeping perhaps a tyrst with Lady Lucretzia would wear you out, but I'm sure it would keep Relena awake."

Paegen he always knows how to spoil a moment.
