A slightly longer one, haha.
Title: Unrequited Love
Pairing: Howzer x Diane
Requester: amatusdarav
Prompt: "Each morning he woke up with her on his mind and pain in his heart."
Each morning, he woke up with her on his mind… and pain in his heart.
It seemed neither ever truly left, however. Diane had taken up permanent residence within his thoughts; even in his dreams he could clearly see her effervescent smile. So it was little wonder he awoke with her visage still fresh in his mind's eye.
The pain would always come shortly thereafter. When he came down from the clouds of his dreams, and crashed back to the hard ground (literally - he had quite the habit of falling out of bed). But it would hit him hardest when he realized that she wasn't there, that her heart and head were not likewise filled with his own smile.
Howser was fairly resilient in all things, however. So he would pick himself up, and ready himself for the day. Maybe bug Gil, or pester Guila for some sparring on the days he was feeling most masochistic.
And on the few days he was able to meet with his beautiful giantess, he treasured what moments he could.
