:alright…I've seen this episode too many times to even count…but I still don't know it by heart…and unfortunately I don't have it with me right now…so bear with me until this drabble gets off to my part…Takes place when the Archangel, Kusanagi, and Eternal run down the Versalius in phase 47…and Mu is standing next to Murrue on the bridge…
:Break:
"COVER THEM, AIM GOTFRIEDS, FIRE!" Murrue Ramius yelled out to the bridge crew as the Eternal and Kusanagi over run the Versalius.
The Archangel is following right behind them as they glide between the two ships while taking a few more shots while they can. The enemy is left behind as they continue forward, as soon as their out of harms way, Lacus pops up on the main screen.
"Everything's fine, the fighting's clamed down, for now,"
"Alright, thank you," Murrue answered back to Lacus as the line went dead.
Everyone on the bridge breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Even Murrue had to let out a quiet breath.
"Everyone, take a break while we have the chance," Murrue announced to everyone tiredly on the bridge as they all smiled at the person they were sitting next to. They all thanked the captain before they dismissed themselves from their posts.
Murrue turned around to see Neumann still manning his post.
"Neumann?" She questioned while tilting her head to the side questioningly.
"Someone needs to stay up here, you go, take a break," Neumann smiled up at Murrue as she turned to get up.
As she stood up she came eye to eye with a disheveled blue eyed blonde.
"MU!" She exclaimed practically forgetting that he was even there.
He lifted his heavy eyelids up to her. He leaned heavily on her chair, breaths coming in and out faster than usual.
"Forget about me so soon?" He joked, but his laughing tone was almost completely drained from his voice.
"Oh, god, I'm sorry, come on, I'll take you back," Murrue apologized as she slung his arm over her shoulders, helping him to walk.
"It's alright," He answered breathlessly, almost incoherently.
"Look at you Mu, you almost got yourself killed!" She spoke up quietly as they exited the bridge. She looked over at him worriedly, trying not to picture her life without him there.
Mu was silent as they just kept walking towards the infirmary. They continued walking until Mu abruptly stopped, not being able to take the dizziness splashing in his eyes every time he took a step.
"What's wrong…Mu?"
Mu leaned against the wall with Murrue in front of him protectively.
"Everything's…spinning,"
Murrue reached up and ran a porcelain hand through his golden locks.
"It's gonna be alright," She reassured him. She waited by his side his head slumped forward on her shoulder, waiting for his world to finally stop spinning.
He eventually looked up, mind sane enough to continue on. Murrue pushed herself up on her tip toes to kiss him gently on the lips before they continued to walk back to the infirmary. He leaned on her the rest of the way there. Upon arriving, Murrue immediately led him to his bed as she sat down with him. Mu let his head fall heavily against her shoulder once more as they drowned peacefully in the silence. Murrue groped around for his hand that wasn't in the sling.
"You shouldn't have gotten up," She whispered soothingly into his hair.
"I wanted to be there for you," He answered her equally as quiet, fatigue evident in his voice.
"You don't have to be there all the time, Mu. You're already injured, don't make it worse," Murrue never saw him like this before. Wordless and hurt, physically and mentally, her there restraining his doubts, comforting him, It was…different, to say the least.
Before he could summon a weak reply, she shoved him gently back onto his bed.
"You need a break, Mu, rest while you still can, please,"
She pressed her lips to his and then watched as his eyelids slid shut, hand still grasped in hers.
: meh…didn't come out the way I wanted exactly…but…oh well…onto the next drabble xD:
