Chapter 13- Connections

Godzilla didn't want to admit it, but he began to have feelings for Mothra.

It's such a strange feeling for him. Not only because this is the first time that he has felt this way for someone, but also the fact that she isn't even his own species! Divine Moths and Gojiras should not be sharing affection for each other, but it happened. Mothra also has feelings for Godzilla but she also doesn't want to admit it. Divine Moths court like birds: the males pull on a show to attract a mate. But since there hasn't been any males in 2 millennia, this practice doesn't take place anymore and typically the females don't go after males unless they really like them. The Gojiras, for example, flirt like humans so it makes forming relationships very easy for them.

Currently the two of them are just roaming the countryside searching for survivors. So far they aren't so lucky. They have found some Muto survivors but they were taken care of quickly. During their travels Mothra spends most of her time resting on Godzilla's back and Godzilla tells funny stories or jokes to keep her entertained. His feelings for her grow stronger each day.

Mothra's feelings for Godzilla are also strong. She values his bravery, his strength, his personality, and most of all, his care for others. Every time they stop to rest or to engage an enemy he always asks her if she is ok. Plus he treats her like a queen. She desperately wants to tell him just what she feels but she doesn't think he feels the same way. After all, she has only been around one Gojira in her whole life. Godzilla himself doesn't think Mothra feels the same either. He doesn't spend much time around the Divine Moths so he doesn't know if she's flirting with him or not. Mothra isn't that talkative of a kaiju and she is rather quiet. The two are just now entering the future state of South Carolina.

"Mothra"

"Yeah?"

"Do have a plan for what to do next? About the Royal Court?"

"Not really. We already went back to the palace. There wasn't anything left. If anything, your father would want you to carry the torch."

"I guess so."

"Godzilla"

"Hmm?"

"I wanted to tell you something...I wanted you to know that I-"

The two are cut off by a loud warbling screech. Mothra's antennae stand straight up and she jolts up. Godzilla turns towards the sound and raises his arms. He spots it. One of the larger 6 legged Mutos is standing behind some rocks. It raises its front legs, slams them down, and charges them. Mothra jumps off Godzilla and rises into the air to dive down on the incoming Muto. Godzilla sprints towards the Muto and the two make contact.

Godzilla punches the Muto in the face but Godzilla gets a forearm to the neck. He groans in pain and grabs the Muto by the neck to punch it's face again. Mothra dives down and slices deep into the Muto's back. The Muto screeches and swings one of its arms. It makes contact on Mothra. It hits her right in the side and causes her to slam into the ground. She isn't moving.

"MOTHRA! NO! NO! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS YOU DEMON!"

Godzilla's tail dorsal plates begin to pulse blue. The light rises all the way up his back. He inhales.

SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW!

The blue beam of energy hits the Muto right in the face. It recoils back with a screech. Godzilla charges the beast and pries open its' jaws. He fires another beam of energy right into its mouth. Within seconds the Muto is dead. Godzilla roars and drops he carcass. He lowers his head and looks for Mothra. He sees her. She is lying on her side on the ground.

"No…"

Godzilla runs over and gets on his knees. He checks her pulse. It's weak. Godzilla gently rolls her onto her back and picks her up. He cradles her gently.

"No no no no Mothra you can't die...I...I...I have so much I need to tell you...please stay with me...I...I...love you…" Godzilla begins to cry. Mothra hears this and her heart melts. He does feel the same. She opens her eyes.

"I love you too…"

Godzilla opens his eyes and looks at Mothra. Her antennae droop and her eyes are barely open. He chokes on his tears and buries his face in her chest. She wraps her wings around him. Godzilla then lifts his head and looks at her. She looks at him. Both close their eyes.

They kiss.

Godzilla and Mothra's hearts skip a beat as they finally share their feelings for each other. Their kiss seemed to last for hours for them. They then open their eyes. Mothra wipes a tear off of Godzilla with one of her middle legs. He rubs the back of her head with one of his hands. The two of them kiss again. This time with more passion in it. After a few more long seconds, they separate again. Mothra climbs back onto Godzilla's back. Her wings lay flat on his back.

"Lets go Goji, let's find some shelter before more Mutos show up."

The two find shelter in a large cave opening. Godzilla starts a fire for the two of them. Mothra falls asleep curled up next to Godzilla's chest, her head nuzzling his chest. He gives her a kiss on the head and then falls asleep himself. That night, the two forged a bond that can never be severed.

Mothra is now Godzilla's mate. They are now a couple.

Notes: First kiss has happened! The plot begins to thicken...again...but what are Ghidorah and Battra up to? Also major shout out to the Mothzilla subreddit. This sub was the sole reason why this story exists. If you haven't subbed to it then do it! I'll publish another chapter soon and this one might be one that y'all might have been secretly wanting.
