Day 02: 'Cuddling'

Non-Despair AU, Set after they graduate

Summary: Gundam has work to do, but he can't refuse a cuddle with Sonia.

Gundam Tanaka was seated on the couch in the living room of his own home, reading an email that had been sent to him by a local veterinarian. It was a request for him to foster a puppy that had been abused by its former owner. He shook his head; how could a person hurt such an fierce (by 'fierce', he meant 'adorable') little bundle of fur?

"Some humans are truly sick," He muttered, "I should find the former master of this poor creature and destroy them…no animal shall suffer if the great Gundam Tanaka has anything to say about it!"

He was about to begin typing his reply, that he would be happy to take the puppy in and help it recover, when there was a knock on the door of his apartment. He raised an eyebrow. Who could that be? He didn't remember inviting anybody to his abode.

Gundam placed his laptop down and walked over to the door. When he opened it, he let a soft smile fall over his lips, seeing his long-time girlfriend, Sonia Nevermind, standing in the threshold. She grinned, steeping forward and hugging him tightly.

"Good afternoon, 'Naka," Sonia greeted, looking up at Gundam.

"Good afternoon, fair princess," Gundam said, bringing one of Sonia's delicate hands to his lips and placing a kiss there. She giggled at that, blushing slightly.

They sat on the couch together, Gundam picking his laptop back up and starting to type his response to the veterinarian. Sonia lay her head on his shoulder, watching his fingers move over the keys as the email was quickly typed up. She looked at the picture of the puppy that had been attached to the original email and sighed. Gundam nodded, knowing that it hurt her just as much as it hurt him to see the poor injured creature. After a few minutes of proofreading his email, Gundam sent it, before he put his laptop down and Sonia took the opportunity to crawl into his lap and wrap her arms around him. He stiffened slightly. Despite their relationship making him less shy when it came to physical contact, it still made him a bit nervous.

"Sonia, I must hurry to pick up the sick creature from the veterinarian. He needs the utmost care right now…" He stopped when Sonia leaned her head against his chest.

"It can wait a few moments, can't it 'Naka? I know it means a lot to you to help get this puppy well again…but you always have time for a cuddle, right?" She asked quietly. Gundam gave in. He simply could not refuse Sonia.

He gathered Sonia closer to him, wrapping his arms around her, strong but gentle. Sonia buried her face in the purple scarf that he still wore to this day, breathing in his scent and sighing contentedly. Gundam smiled, kissing the top of Sonia's head softly, pulling her as close as he could without smothering her. Sonia let out a soft breath, her eyes falling shut, soon enough falling asleep in Gundam's arms.

Gundam however, stayed awake for a while. He placed a hand under Sonia's chin, turning her head up so he could see her sleeping face. She was extremely peaceful in sleep, the smallest ghost of a smile on her lips. Gundam ran his thumb across Sonia's cheek softly, cherishing this moment. He let her head fall back against his chest, slouching a bit on the couch as he got more comfortable with holding Sonia in his arms. Soon enough, drowsiness started to pull Gundam in, and he buried his nose into Sonia's pale golden hair. His eyes drooped shut, and he fell asleep as well.
