My Song Fic Collection Chapter 4: Another Untitled, a g-gundam fanfic

I'm back! Sorry it took so long, I had no internet during the summer. Spent most of it reading. Any way, I've done a fic with this song, but I REALLY like this one as a R/D song, it fits them so well.

Disclaimer: I don't own G Gundam, (but I do own 4 DVDs of the show) and I don't own the song, Tim McGraw does (wish I owned him drools)

Another untitled

Domon leaned on the rail of the boat, deep in thought. Rain was out with the other girls, taking a well-earned break for the Gundam repairs. Even though Natasha had to drag her along with them. She had wanted to stay with him, but he insisted she go enjoy herself with the others, leaving him with the other members of the Shuffle Alliance. Chibodee had brought his radio and tuned it into an American country station. How he did that, Domon had no clue. Suddenly a song his attention and he looked up. He recognized from a CD his mother had gotten from an friend of hers that had moved to Neo-America.

I don't know why I act the way I do
Like I ain't got a single thing to lose
Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy
I guess that's just the cowboy in me

'Sounds like me" he thought to himself. He had acted like a total jerk over the past year, hurting those who tried to help him heal. He had nearly got himself killed several times, not caring if he did. Anger ruled him and it affected those around him. But all had taken it in stride, and had supported him nether the less. The others had almost thrown away their dreams to help him save the earth, and none of them regretted it. They all said that they would do it again in a heartbeat. They had become then comrades, they had become surrogate brothers. And what a crazy family they made.

I got a life that most would love to have
But sometimes I still wake up fightin' mad
At where this road I'm heading down might lead
I guess that's just the cowboy in me

In general, he had a good life, He grew up with both parents and an older brother, unlike most of the other guys. They where also sane, which is more then he could say for Rain's mother. She didn't even acknowledge the fact that she had one. He shuddered at the thought of all the pageants she forced the little girl into, and the mess she had left behind that had been the little girl's confidence and happiness. He would never forgive the woman for what he did to his friend. But he was the angry one, dark and bitter to the world. Rain had been quick to forgive and forget, but he hadn't. He let himself forget about all the good things and memories he had, and concentrated on the bad. He let himself be controlled by his anger and pride. He had been such a fool.

The urge to run, the restlessness
The heart of stone I sometimes get
The things I've done for foolish pride
The me that's never satisfied
The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see
I guess that's just the cowboy in me

He had been constantly on the move, always eager to leave one place for the next one. He hated sitting still, stopping only when Rain used her 'doctor' tone of voice, or saw the fear of his collapse in her eyes. Sometimes not even she could stop him. Then he would yell at her and push her away. His pride had hurt her so many times. He couldn't count how many times he had seen the hurt in her eyes, but had only become colder to her. He saw her as his weakness, and he couldn't show that she was. If that had happened, she would have been the Dark Gundam's target earlier, before he had felt her to be more then a friend.

Girl I know there's times you must have thought
There ain't a line you've drawn I haven't crossed
But you set your mind to see this love on through
I guess that's just the cowboy in you

Looking back on it know he wondered how she had put up with him. He had hurt her so badly, yet she came back and cooled his temper or tended to his wounds. She rarely complained, unless he was being really bull-headed. She could be just as stubborn as he was, and had a worse temper. She could control it much better then he could, but when she did loose it, he had better watch out. The best example was the time she had caught him and Allenby tinkering with the Gundam. He had no clue she could throw them out of the Gundam, but he had learned the hard way. But he was glad for her stubborn loyalty, it had been the only thing that had gotten him through the past year.

He had pulled above it all, defeating the Dark Gundam and become the Gundam Champion.

He had his father back, and the love of his life by his side. Domon thought about all of the people he had met, the friends he had made. He smiled to himself as he thought of the children he had made friends with. He seemed to have some animal magnetism with them.

There where more good things that had happened then bad ones, he didn't realized it until after the fight. Life was funny like that.

We ride and never worry about the fall
I guess that's just the cowboy in us all

All of them had been through a lot, and now they where ready to move on with their lives. They all had people that where important to them. Domon chuckled at the memory of Natasha telling Argo she had quit the army. Argo had looked at her and asked why. Natasha gave him a very un-Natasha like grin and said the only reason she had joined it was to met cute guys. Marie was still hanging around George, Sai, pinning over Cecil. Shirley had shocked Chibodee after their arrival on earth by kissing him. Him and Rain had a nice, steady relationship going on. His though where interrupted but someone hitting him on the head. "Earth to Domon, Are you there?" asked Chibodee. Domon shook his head and looked at his friends. "What?" he asked. We where just asking you how things are going with Rain." came the reply. Just then Rain and the other girls came up. He grinned as she wrapped her arms around and kissed him on the cheek. Domon smiled and shut his eyes, enjoying the feeling of her. God knows he didn't deserve her, but he had her, and he was keeping her.
