Chapter 12- The Duo

Getting out of that cave was not easy.

For one, Godzilla had to dig his way through hundreds of tons of rock to get towards Mothra. She was trapped under a boulder. It laid across one of her wings. She cried out for help in the dark until Godzilla heard her and found her. It took Godzilla around 10 minutes of lifting and shifting to free her. After freeing her, the two had to escape before they ran out of air.

"How are we going to get out? And even when we get out my wing is damaged so I can't fly."

Godzilla grabs her and puts her on his back. He then gets on all fours and begins to dig upwards.

"This is how, we dig. Just hold on Mothra, I got this."

Godzilla began to dig with his arms. All Mothra could do to prevent rock and dust from hitting her was to hide behind Godzilla's head. After what seemed like hours, Godzilla broke through the dirt and reached the surface. He wasn't prepared for what he saw.

For one, the sky was black. Pitch black. There was no sunlight. Ash and dust was floating in the air. All the trees and rocks and features around them were gone. The grass was ripped up and revealed a brown muddy layer. The air was also very warm. Mothra and Godzilla's eyes began to burn from the dust in the air. Mothra climbed down off of Godzilla's back and onto the ground. Her legs got stuck in the mud easily. Godzilla pulled her out and held her like a cat in his arms.

"No, you shouldn't be walking around. Sit here and help me look for refuge."

Mothra sighed and looked around. Godzilla eventually spotted what seemed like a small opening into the ground a couple hundred meters from them. He slowly jogged over towards the opening and jumped inside. It was large and spacious and had room for both of them. Godzilla set Mothra down and felt a sharp pain in his right arm. He looks down at it and sees a huge gash.

"AHH! FUCK! Ah...eh. My arm's cut," Godzilla growls as he slumps against a wall.

Mothra spots him and rushes over. Godzilla is clutching his arm and blood pours out of him. Mothra looks towards the entrance to the cave and sees blood. She then climbs up on his body and grabs his arm with her front legs. She wraps her wings around his arm and pushes healing aura into it. Godzilla watches her do this, and is intrigued. He feels the pain go away and feels new flesh being made. He looks down at Mothra. She looks up at him. The two stare into each others eyes. Godzilla feels...calm. Every since he has been around Mothra all he felt was calm energy. Mothra feels...relaxed. The strong build and comforting presence of Godzilla has made her nerves feel really relaxed. The two stare into each other's eyes for what seemed like years before Mothra releases her wings and looks away. A blush forms on both of their faces. Godzilla sighs and leans against the wall.

Wow...those eyes...I...I...I don't even know what to say...thank god I was chosen to protect her.

Mothra walks over to a separate corner of the cave and leans against it. She curls herself into a sort of ball and falls asleep. Godzilla gathers what little wood he can find and builds a small fire. He leans against the other side of the cave and gazes outside. A trail of smoke rises out of the impact crater. Godzilla then looks towards Mothra. She often nuzzles in her sleep and he caught her doing it into her wings. He doesn't know why, but he feels...attachment to her. He can't figure it out. Ever since he saw her at the crowning ceremony he has felt some kind of connection to her. He looks at his arm. The wound had been healed completely. He curls into a ball and falls asleep.

The next day Godzilla awoke to Mothra cradling her damaged wing. He silently watches her wrap her other wing around it start healing it. Her antennae droop down. After about 10 seconds she unwraps her wing and shakes it. Good as new. Mothra turns to Godzilla. He turns away quickly and looks outside. She blushes slightly and begins to speak.

"So...what now? Where do we go now?"

"I don't know. All I know that some kind of huge rock hit the Earth and this happened. But whatever happens we should stick together."

Mothra hesitates for a second.

"I guess so, but why?"

"I don't know...I am tasked with protecting you and I don't see any other kaiju so I think we need to keep close, for our security."

"Ok"

The two of them spent the rest of the day just talking. About random stuff, plans for what to do next, and just things that were on their mind. It wasn't long before it got cold. At first, Mothra just shivered until Godzilla started another fire and sat behind Mothra. Godzilla laid down and Mothra curled up right next to him. That night, both of them dreamed of each other. It was at this moment that Mothra realized that Godzilla really cared for her. She was given attention that had never been given to her. He seemed to really care about her. It was also at this moment that Godzilla realized that he had feelings for this little teal moth. She was just so caring and kind. He never had feelings for anyone of his kind, or for anyone in that matter, until now. He wanted to be with Mothra. He looks down at her and she nuzzles, but this time instead of into her wings, she nuzzles into his chest. He sighs, lowers an arm down across her, pulls her close to him, and then falls asleep.

The two of them slept for a long time. Neither wanted to get up. Both of them wanted to savor the moment. After all, it's not everyday that you fall in love.

Notes: There it is! The moment y'all have been waiting for. I hope this satisfies you guys. I had a lot of fun writing this chapter. Anyways, I'll see y'all next week.
