Eyes

Space was a deep and lonely place. So often he would remember his friends from the Elsa and the Durandal. It was very likely that he would never see any of them again, at least not in this lifetime. How he longed for people again, the warmth and the laughter. Even more than this, he missed KOS-MOS' eyes.

Forever burned in his memory were those two ruby eyes gazing at him, filled with sweet tenderness and love. Just thinking of them caused his heart to ache. Now they were ever closed, long graceful lashes resting on soft cheeks. Sleeping beauty, returned to her long, ageless slumber.

In his entire long life, he had but one single great regret. That dark day he had brought pain and suffering to those eyes. Now that they were together again, no matter where the tides carried them, he would never make that mistake again. Whatever became of them, and whatever had to be done, they would do it together. As long as he existed, he would never leave her side again.

Someday, he would see those eyes again.
