Author's Notes: I had opened up Corel and this idea just came to me so I started typing it out less than fifteen minutes which will explain the total weirdness. Rey is OOC in here because he's not the aggressive type, Shinn is. I wanted to expand his expression beyond that impassiveness he puts on. Peter is just some berk who's a total perv that I came up with. He's based on all those typical guys in tv series, movies or books.


When Peter asked her out for coffee, she had said yes immediately. After all, it was just for coffee and nothing else. He seemed such a nice guy; he was studying bio-engineering and he came from a rather well-to-do family. He didn't seem the type for perversion. So, when his hand started creeping up her thigh at the café under the table, her trigger reflexes, honed by years at the military academy, went into action and Peter found himself to sport an impressive black eye and a painful knee to his manly bits.

Lunamaria knew she should feel remorseful. The guy probably didn't mean any more harm than trying to cope a feel like every guy does, except she had hung out with guys like him and none had ever dared to even try what he did, save for throwing the affectionate arm around her in a playful manner. Shinn had done that plenty of times, so had Vino and Youlan. It wasn't even Peter's fault that her soldier reflex kicked when his hand went elsewhere other than the table. She should really apologize.

But she didn't.

Try as she might, she couldn't seem to muster up any apologetic feelings at all to him. Some of the girls had congratulate her for giving him that right hook, calling him a perv. A few of the patrons were staring at them over their cups of coffee, whispering to each other, most probably about how strange she was.

It was Rey who had arrived at the café to pick her up, after she had called him on her cell. She wasn't sure what she had said to him but it must have been bad because he arrived looking far more murderous than he'd ever exhibited to anyone. Not even when he was piloting his mobile suit to kill. It suddenly made her glad that she hadn't call Shinn up. The dark-haired boy had the habit of 'shoot now, ask later' and Peter might suffer more than just a black eye and wounded pride. She could just imagine Shinn piloting his new gundam, stomping the poor guy to pancake. Rey, at least, was much more rational.

Rey had given Peter another black eye, and looked set to break the guy's arm. Peter looked like he might wet his pants. Or worse.

Or not.

The girls around the café weren't helping the matter as they squealed over the Rey's looks, egging him on. The café manager looked like he wanted to call the police but his hand kept on hovering over his phone and never picking it up.

Luna sighed. Better break it off before the manager really call the police and they end up in lock up. Murrue-san would not be pleased if it happened. She grabbed Rey's arm before he could split Peter's lip, pulling him back and telling him to let it go. He gave her a long look then at Peter and told her curtly that next time, he'll let pervs grope her if she failed to do background checks on them. The added threat of telling on Shinn shut up any angry protests she might have hurled at him. She scowled at his retreating back, turned back to Peter to offer him a hand up.

The guy stared at her like a deer caught in headlights, squeaked in fear and fled, hobbling down the street, muttering things about 'dangerous', 'crazy', 'never look at redheads again' as he disappeared into the afternoon crowd. Luna sighed again, pinching the bridge of her nose, left some bills on the table and went outside to see Rey waiting for her by the door. He raised an eyebrow at her. She scowled.

Later that night during dinner, when Shinn innocently asked her if she had fun on her little date, she buried her face in her arms, groaned and said that she's swearing off dates for good. Having someone date a former pilot – a gundam pilot and a ZAFT Red at that – was hazardous to the health.

She didn't see the wicked grin on Shinn's face.

Owari.
