Ok here is chapter 2. I know that this might be not what everyone wants in the way of romance with Tessa and Souske, but hey I think Tessa is cute. This all takes place if no one figured out from the first chapter, after the last episode of Full Metal Panic! Things are going slow for me so updates may take awhile. I will be moving back to the states in the next month so it will be even longer until I have my computer back. I am also working on another story as well as some books that I hope to have published. One more note, if I start spouting off military stuff do not worry. I am in the military. Now on with the show.
What the Heart holds
Tessa enters her private quarters and begins to undress to change into something more comfortable in order to walk the Island surface. As she is changing Tessa thinks about the first time she first saw Souske and how she has a special place in her heart for him. Afterwards Tessa looks in the full length mirror and sighs to herself.
"I wonder what Souske will think of me wearing this?" Tessa says to herself.
Tessa smoothes out her shorts and the blouse that she is wearing to make sure that everything is just right. As she is about to leave her room to go to the south side of the Island to search for Souske, she hears a knock on her door.
"Who can it be now?" Tessa asks her bear that is resting on her bed.
Tessa opens the door to reveal Melissa with a can of beer in her hand. "I thought you were on sick leave Melissa and that you could not have any alcohol?" Tessa asks of her friend as she comes in.
"I thought I would come by and see how you are doing and to just chat a little bit." Melissa says to Tessa as she takes a seat.
"I was just about to leave to have a walk on the Island." Tessa says to Melissa not wanting to tell her that she was going in search of Souske.
"I see! So do you want some company?"
"No that's all right Melissa. I just want to be alone for now." Tessa says with a thought to herself. ÔI do not want her to know that I am really going to see Souske.
"Ok then I will go and drink this all by myself then, or I may find Weber to see if he wants to join me." Melissa says as she gets up to leave not letting on that she knows what Tessa is really up to.
"Bye Melissa!" Tessa says as they both go out the door and go their separate ways.
"See you later Tessa." Melissa says as she goes to find Weber to inform him of what she saw on Tessa. Or not.
Tessa walks through the base and towards the entrance that will take her to the south side of the Island. As she is walking she starts to think about what she wants to say to Souske when she finally sees him.
ÔThis is getting hard for me to do.' Tessa thinks to herself.
Finally she is on the surface of the Island and she proceeds to the south end to find the one person that can answer the questions that are on her mind. She knows that they must be answered if she is to become a more effective Captain. As Tessa thinks about this she takes in the beauty of the Island and listens carefully to the other sounds in the surrounding jungle of this Island paradise.
As she finally makes it to the south end she begins to hear the roar of the ocean. As Tessa reaches the cliff face she takes in the beauty of the ocean and waves crashing against the base.
ÔI wonder where Souske is?' Tessa wonders as she begins to look around.
As if answering her own question she sees him on a outcropping just down below her. Instead of calling out to him she just watches him for a little while wondering what he might be thinking right now.
ÔI know that Kaname is back in Tokyo now while Souske is here doing some training and to ensure that Arbelast is back in working order.' Tessa says to herself, but wonders what is he doing out here all by himself.
As if he heard the question Souske casts out a fishing line into the ocean below. Tessa smiles at a memory of her father taking her fishing when she was younger. She was taught how to fish by her father and she enjoyed spending that time with him when they went. ÔI haven't been fishing in years!' Tessa thinks to herself. ÔI wonder if Souske would mind me joining him and showing him that I can fish too?'
Tessa shakes her head as if to clear the foolish thought that Souske would let her fish with him. Souske continues to fish while Tessa just looks on with him not knowing that he is being watched. Tessa's heart beats a little faster and a smile comes to her face as she sees him catch a fish and takes it off the hook so that he can cook it and eat it later. She watches as he cast the line out again.
Tessa finds the path leading down to where Souske is at and stands there behind him watching him thinking as to why she had fallen for him in the first place.
Finally gaining enough courage to speak "Souske?" Tessa says finally.
Souske hearing his name turns his head around to see Tessa smiling at him.
