Disclaimer: I do not own Gilbert Dullindal from Gundam Seed Destiny.
Introduction: Linked with the second drabble on Talia since here I am making Talia/Gilbert out… Enjoy :D
Title: Selfish
"Die with me." He spoke as Talia Gladys lowered down her ears onto his mouth as he motioned that he had something to speak to her about.
He was shot on his chest, by Rey. He thought he was shot by Talia, the woman that was his first crush and final love too. But to think he was shot by Rey za Burrel, the clone whom he had built up from scratch, by her egg and his sperm... Their son. An unofficial son.
All the things he had done for his Destiny plan had turned out into naught. All because of Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne. The Ultimate Coordinator and the Pink Princess. What a pair. He hated them. Not just because of their interception of his plan. But also of their love... their seeming long-lasting love. He was jealous.
The woman that he had loved all along had initiated their dating. He was so happy and excited about that. But then just a few months later, she wanted a break up. A break-up because of the laws of PLANT. It was then he decided. He will be the Chairman of PLANT. He wanted to change the laws, not wanting another loving coordinator couple to be broken up just because of the laws...
But he also wanted to implement his Destiny plan - plan that can secure peace for the world between naturals and coordinators, a dream that he and Talia shared - their common dream. But he could not expect the whole plan to bring out a war.
However, not expecting that it would happen is another matter. What happened could not be changed. And it had brought along unexpected advantages too. Like forcing the naturals and coordinators to realize that fighting each other brings no meaning at all and that their forgotten lessons are learnt again, by hard; because his plan was not that good for the benefits of either coordinators or naturals, just peace only.
Kira Yamato was right. He was too proud for his own good. And his whole plan backfired. All his hard work in using the right people for his own use were for naught. And some were sacrificed. Regret seeped into him as his life flashed before his very eyes. And through all the flashing in his mind, he came to one standpoint.
Talia Gladys was his first, final and only love. As a Chinese saying goes, if they cannot be together when alive, then they should be together in death. Maybe he was selfish, because he did not think of Rey at all, just Talia. The woman that he loved still.
He grasped his beloved woman's hand tighter as his mind started to turn blank. And regret plus fear pounded his soul... "Die with me." He pleaded. He was afraid to be alone in death. She should be with him.
Then again, does this not make him even more selfish than ever? Sadly, he had no more chance to answer this question as he breathed his last.
