Disclaimer: The following story is a fanfiction. The author does not own and of the Gundam 00 characters. The rest of it is a work of the Author's imagination.
August 21st. A.D 2309 United States of America. Celestial Township.
The day after Feldt arrived, Setsuna woke up at his usual time, put on a t-shirt while still wearing his Exia pajamas, and went to his personal bathroom to brush his teeth. After brushing is teeth and washing his face he went downstairs to the kitchen (the one that he normally uses as the mansion had multiple kitchens) He turned on the T.V with voice activation to watch the news. The flat screen T.V that was hooked on the wall across the dining room turned on. Setsuna watched from the big opening between the kitchen and the dining room. He was contently watching a weather report while sipping the tea he had previously made. That's when Setsuna saw the stack of papers that was left on the dinning room table which immediately turned his day for the worse and the day was just getting started. Setsuna sympathized with a typical parent after seeing all the paperwork that they had. Setsuna just ignored the amount of papers that almost broke the folder that it was stored in and tried to continue to watch the news, but his field of view always zoomed back to the stack of papers. He sighed, and walked over to the dining room table with his cup of tea (that had an Celestial High logo on it.). He sat down and opened the folder; the front sheet was labeled "Basic information about applicant." Setsuna sifted to the middle of the stack of papers and saw another form labeled "Dorm roommate search survey." Which had a bunch of questions that would lead you to find a roommate that was suitable for that applicant. Behind the survey was a packet for dorm rules and guidelines.
"Nice try Sumeragi." Setsuna muttered as he took out all the things that were related to the boarding system and put them in another pile. The stack was now considerably smaller while Setsuna's list of why people shouldn't live in the dorms got sorted out the remaining info into two piles: things that were just information and things that needed to be filled out and given to Sumeragi. He wondered what Feldt was dong as he continued to sort out of the papers. it was 10:30, how long can that girl sleep for.
Feldt walked in to the dining room right when Setsuna just finished sorting out the. She was wearing pink pajamas as she walked in yawning with very disheveled hair.
"What time is it?" the pink haired girl asked.
"About 11:30. Do you always wake up this late?" Setsuna replied back
"I am usually good at waking up at whatever time I want to. But if I don't have a specific time set to wake up, then I just sleep until my body tells me to wake up. I guess I was just really tired the yesterday." Feldt said. She hoped Setsuna wouldn't ask about the conversation she had with Sumeragi.
"Okay fine, its summer so I don't really care when you wake up. What I do care is the amount of paperwork we have to do." Setsuna then went into the kitchen, got a green tea bag and put it into a pink mug that he conveniently had. Then he poured hot water that he had previously heated into the mug. The water quickly became green as it mixed with the green tea leaves. He gave the mug to Feldt.
"Here, this is going to be your breakfast. We don't have much else."
"Are we going to go grocery shopping later?" Feldt asked while looking at the green tea in her hands
"If we finish your application." Setsuna replied. Feldt sighed and sat down next to Setsuna.
"Half of these stupid forms are going to be filled out by you, the other half by your guardian which is me." Setsuna stated.
"I don't know why a person who could be potentially younger than me is my guardian, is that even legal?" Feldt thought. She grabbed the pen Setsuna had put on the table started filling stuff in the forms which included things like name, address, health issues, etc. She got stuck on one part of the forms: Relationship with guardian. She didn't know what to write. Feldt decided to skip that part and move on, as she wanted to be done with the forms as quick as possible. Perhaps she might have some sort of answer later in the day.
The duo quickly finished the forms within an hour; Feldt secretly hid the form that she hadn't finished from Setsuna. She left it in her room so she could finish up later when she had an answer. Immediately after they finished, Setsuna told her to get dressed for outside clothing after they had finished with their form. Feldt decided to wear a white crop top that revealed a little bit of her belly along with blue jean shorts. She also wore a blue sapphire necklace that her mom had given her when she was little.
Setsuna was all set to go as he wore a blue t-shirt as well as some black khaki shorts. He also had a black light jacket on (mainly used to store important things such as his phone). When he saw Feldt walk down the stairs with her clothing attire he couldn't react. All he could do was stare at the semi revealing clothes she was wearing. At lest it was better than having no fashion sense whatsoever but he didn't expect this.
"Where did you learn to dress like that?" Setsuna asked.
"What?" Feldt asked a little startled. Then she looked at what she was wearing and realized what Setsuna as asking. Most girls her age didn't have the same wardrobe and fashion style as she had. This was due to one person.
"Leon kind of taught me how to dress up for certain occasion. Starting from the time I met him, he was always telling me which clothing looked nice, and which style was in fashion. I believe that half our conversation was about fashion."
Setsuna shuddered at the thought of talking about fashion every other conversation he had.
He told me when I was young that having a good fashion sense would help me in the future as a lady. Never knew why it would, but I still do it.
"Leon once again. Is that guy a genius?" Setsuna thought. "How can he be knowledgeable in everything, especially in the thing that most boys hate?
Setsuna then looked once again at what Feldt was wearing and thought, "How can she be so clueless, its obvious any boy who saw her would instantly be attracted. I don't even want to think what Lyle would do if he saw her like this. Setsuna and Feldt left the house and walked onto the driveway. Setsuna's mansion was on the end of street. Across and next to Setsuna's mansion were bunch of normal sized houses each with a decently sized lawns and backyard.
"Where do the Dylandys live," Feldt asked. She knew they also lived in a mansion like Setsuna's.
"They live about a 5 minutes away by car. Each street here in this neighborhood has a mansion and some houses. Most of the people in this neighborhood are pretty wealthy. There are some nice ones." Setsuna replied
Suddenly the garage of the house next to Setsuna's opened up. Out came a red SUV.
"Who are they" Feldt asked indicating to the red SUV
"They are our ride." Setsuna stated. The red SUV pulled out of the driveway turned towards Setsuna's house and drove until it got to Setsuna's driveway where it stopped. Setsuna started walking towards the SUV, Feldt followed suit. As both of them got closer the window to the backseat opened. A girl's face popped out of the window. She was a brunette with purple eyes. Her hair was pulled into a pigtails with each tail combed into a spiral.
"Mileina" Setsuna acknowledged.
"SETSUNA!" Mileina shouted, "It's been forever! How've you been?"
"Good" Setsuna replied flatly
"Humph" Mileina pouted "Always as stolid as ever. You could cheer up a little."
"That's what they all say," Setsuna muttered. Mileina then turned to the pinkette.
"You must be Feldt, Setsuna told me about you." Mileina proceeded to open the door. "Come in" She invited enthusiastically.
Feldt didn't know how to reply to such an enthusiastic girl. She climbed into the car. The car was pretty clean; the seats were made of black leather. Even thought the car was clean, there were some decorations with a stuffed rabbit on the ledge that was attached to the back of the seats. There were also some bright pink and yellow pillows as well. In the driver seat there was a man who was sipping some coffee out of a thermos. Setsuna tried to get in as well but Mileina stopped him, "No boys allowed in the back, they're not welcome!"
Setsuna sighed and opened the front door instead. He buckled himself in and greeted the driver. "Hey Ian."
A middle-aged man with medium length black hair and black eyes with glasses was currently crying.
"She always breaking daddy's heart, not letting him sit in the back with daddy's favorite girl."
"You do realize that if you sit in the back no one is driving right," Setsuna mentioned.
"You just had to ruin the mood don't you Setsuna" the driver said as he took another swig of his coffee.
"I heard what happened form Mileina, never thought you would be a person who would do this type of thing." Ian said to Setsuna.
Setsuna just grunted. Meanwhile in the back of the car Feldt and Mileina was currently engaging in a conversation.
"Are you going to Celestial high," Mileina asked.
"Yes" Feldt replied
"Yay, I'm going there too, we can be best buddies. We will eat lunch together, go the same clubs, study together, and make new frien-"
Feldt really didn't mean to cut the ecstatic girl off but she was pretty curious about something.
"How do you know Setsuna?" She asked
Mileina stopped stating her list of things the two of them was going to do and replied, "Well, first off we are neighbors."
"I also cook for Setsuna" Ian chirped in.
"Oh sorry, I forgot to introduce my father, he's the head chef of the cooking crew at Setsuna's mansion. He was a great friend of Setsuna's mom." Mileina then leaned towards Feldt and whispered, "Setsuna did tell you what happened to his parents right?" Feldt just smiled not knowing what to say. She did know what happened to Setsuna's parent but Setsuna didn't know that she knew.
"You know even with your whispering I can still hear you." Setsuna said from upfront.
"Sorry, sorry" Mileina said. She then proceeded to Feldt and mouthed "We'll talk about it later."
"You know Feldt," Ian said with a smirk, "you might think Setsuna might be just a boring, dull, unfriendly guy but the truth is that he is pretty nice. He probably didn't tell you what we're going to do today."
"Aren't we going grocery shopping?" Feldt asked
"Nahhh, you guys don't have to do that today because lunch and dinner is on us." Ian replied. "Our treat to our new neighbor!"
"Thank you Mr…." Feldt wanted to be courteous, but Mileina never told her what Mileina's father name was.
"Its Vashti but call me Ian. And you don't have to thank me for giving you my name."
"Thank y-" Feldt covered her mouth face a little red. Mileina just giggled.
"Okay lets get going and I'll tell you what's happening today because the kid next to me probably won't."
Ian revved the engine and red SUV was on the road at the speed of the speed limit.
"Setsuna wanted to show you around the area around Celestial high know as Celestial township, it's a pretty wealthy and protected area. There are also some errands Setsuna and I have to do, some of them include you. I brought Mileina for the ride to add some entertainment and fun to this little field trip as this kid won't." Ian gestured towards Setsuna.
"Are you going to tell me where we're going?" Feldt asked
"Nah, if anything it's not my right to tell as Setsuna basically planned the whole thing. I tweaked the plan a little bit but Setsuna is the mastermind behind it. Mileina you better no spoil where we're going, got it!"
"Yes daddy" Mileina answered
"Truth to be told, I've never thought this day would happen. Setsuna caring for someone enough to let them meet new people while showing them around the area, heck he barely even communicates with us let alone letting us travel with him." Ina commented
"It's because I can't walk to all those places we're going to, it's more convenient if we had car, plus Feldt doesn't have a bike yet."
"Yeah whatever you say. Okay then we're almost there at the first stop. This ones going to be pretty quick since technically we can't go into its boundaries right now. Feldt looked through he window and saw 4 towers in the view. All of them were pretty high tech form top to bottom with glass surrounding all around the towers. The towers were about 15-20 stories high.
"This is celestial high, its where you're going to study your butts off for the next four years, one of the most prestigious high school in the world." Ian stated, "As you can see there's 4 towers and if you have an birds eye view of the tower you would see the towers form an carrot top shape (^). "Two of them are the actual school while the other two are the living quarters. Every student and teacher but you and this kid are going to live there. If I were in your position I would live there but it's what you want."
"Daddy use to tell me it's where magic happens!" Mileina told Feldt as Feldt continued to just stare at the school.
Hopefully she doesn't still believe that" Ian muttered to Setsuna.
"You raised her" Setsuna muttered back expressionless.
The red SUV parked near the entrance of the school boundaries. The road in front of the entrance was basically a loop that was for dropping off people and things. The entrance was a gate that was currently closed. On the gate was big metallic structure of the Celestial high logo. In the middle of the loop was bug fountain that currently was not spewing out water, probably to conserve energy.
"This as far as we can take you, but you can get out of the car to get a better view of the school if you want" Ian stated.
"I will" Feldt said. She got out of the car, Mileina followed suit.
"You get out too, " Ian said to Setsuna
Setsuna slowly got out of the car. Feldt continued to stare at the structure while Mileina was just behind her. Smiling like she knew what Feldt was thinking.
Feldt didn't know exactly what word to describe the school as. This school was the complete opposite of her poor run down middle school. There weren't many schools where Feldt lived. Most of them were for the wealthy. Feldt's parents always told her they weren't working in Leon's business for the money which is why they were always willing to take pay cuts. This caused Feldt's family to send her to the most affordable school in the area. She was considered pretty smart as her parents constantly tutored her when they had time for education. She was interested in learning so there was never an issue with her and schoolwork. She always thought the workload as pretty easy. She could finish most of the homework within an hour. Her teachers loved her and so did her classmate even if she was more intelligent than most of the students. They were all really friendly and Feldt missed them.
When Feldt continued to gaze at the school with anxiety pulsing throughout her body. Was she ready to study with the best of the best? Could she keep up with a workload that she never imagined she would be doing? "Could she become friends with all these super intelligent people? They were probably nothing like the kids from her old school. She was getting more worried by the second until she heard Setsuna voice
"If you ever have trouble with homework, I could help." Setsuna said noticing her anxiety by her facial expression.
"Yeah Setsuna gets A's without ever trying, it's a miracle if you ever have his intelligence." Mileina carried on from Setsuna's words. "Plus he's actually really good at explaining concepts. I get A's every time he tutors me. He usually doesn't help people but I don't think that's a problem know that he's offered to help you. Plus I'm pretty sure you're pretty smart as well. Don't fret over it, it's still summer. "
Feldt smiled at Mileina and looked back at the school. Knowing that Setsuna and Mileina had her back made it look not as frightening anymore as it had a minute ago. "Yeah, I shouldn't worry." She thought "Yay life rocks! "Mileina shouted enthusiastically. "To celebrate Feldt seeing our school for the first time, lets hug." She pulled Setsuna and Feldt into a three-way hug. It looked a little awkward considering Mileina was pretty short compared to the other two but it was pleasant even for Setsuna.
Feldt, Setsuna, and Mileina went back into the car. Ian started the engine again and away they went. They went around Celestial town; saw the park, the mall, and various other places that were in the area. Feldt's favorite place was the coffee shop. Ian had went there as one of his "errands" to get more coffee as he drank all of his that he had in his thermos. The place was called the Meister Cafe. To Feldt they should have been called the Meister hot chocolate shop, as their hot chocolate was heaven. She had never had something so delicious.
"Hey Setsuna, you should try this hot chocolate." Feldt exclaimed. Setsuna just continued to drink the Frappuccino he had gotten. Ian had paid for the drink even with Setsuna's protests.
"You should really get the coffee here, its one of the best there is." Ian said. "and I've been to many coffee shops in the world but nothing beats this place. Apparently there's some secret ingredient that the owner would never tell me about."
"Does the hot chocolate have an secret ingredient." Feldt asked
"No, but the hot chocolate here is no way near as good as the one Setsuna makes. Isn't that right Setsuna?"
Setsuna just grunted a reply as he continues to drink his Frappuccino.
"Setsuna's hot chocolate is so rich and creamy and delicious, its hard to imagine something better than it," Mileina added while she was also drinking a Frap.
"Really?" Feldt asked unbelieving
"Really" Both Ian and Mileina affirmed.
Setsuna just grunted again not really wanting to join the conversation, After the coffee shop the gang went to more places including the stadium where the Celestial town Gundams played football.
All in all, it was a great trip that Feldt had a lot of fun. She liked the entire town; the people Ian and Mileina introduced to her along the way were friendly and fun to talk to. The field trip had lasted 4 hours and it was tiring but according to Ian they had one more stop to go. Feldt was exhausted with visiting so many places but she was excited to see where they were going. The red SUV finally pulled up, Feldt looked outside the window and saw an…. bicycle store? The last stop was a bicycle store, why did Ian stop here of all places?
"This is Patrick's Bikes, the town's bicycle/motorcycle store, Setsuna taking you here to order a bicycle. Mileina and I aren't going because were a little tired. I know you are also exhausted but we are almost done."
"You better buy a pretty one Feldt." Mileina ordered as she laid her head down on the window and closed her eyes.
"I will." Feldt replied
Setsuna and Feldt got out of the car and walked into the store.
"Were going to school by bike so we need to order one for you." Setsuna said, "Sumeragi's has an friend whose husband owns this store. I know him too but a little warning, he is a little too excited sometimes when he has customers, as people don't really use bikes anymore as transportation. Kind of like Mileina, but male and older."
"Sure, I rode an bike a lot when I was little, but when middle school started I didn't have much time to ride it. I would walk to school during the school year, as it was pretty close by. It'll be fun."
Setsuna and Feldt walked on the main white tiled isle leading towards the counter, there were rows of bikes, tires, and motorcycles surrounding the two 14 year olds. On the main counter stood a red-haired guy wearing a yellow polo and khakis. His name tag on chest said Patrick.
"Yo Setsuna, how you've been?" The guy exclaimed.
"Hey Patrick, I'm good." Setsuna replied
"I heard about your situation from Ian. What a stroke of luck you got. Hanging out with a pretty girl for the next few years" Patrick continued.
"How many people know our situation" Feldt mumbled to Setsuna.
"Quite a few apparently" Setsuna mumbled back.
" What's your name young lady? I don't know it yet?" Patrick asked
"Feldt Grace." Feldt replied.
"Okay Feldt, have you ever ridden a bike before?"
"When I was little." Feldt answered once again reminiscing her elementary school days.
"Okay let's get started then, you and Setsuna can look around and tell me which ones you like and I'll give you some more info about it." Patrick said
The next hour was spent on looking at different bikes, picking one, and filling out a form to have it delivered in the next few days. Setsuna paid for everything, he told her it was his obligation to pay since it was his idea to ride to school everyday by bike. They had decided on a bike that was pink near the seat with blue handlebars and blue metal near the wheels. The seat could auto adjust to her by a scanner on the bike. Patrick arranged it to be delivered by tomorrow. They left the store and went back into the Red SUV. Ian was snoozing while Mileina was sound asleep; in fact she had taken up the whole back row. Ian woke up when he heard a weak knock on the window. He saw Setsuna and Feldt looking at him with the about time expression
"Okay guys, since I don't want to wake up my precious daughter with my driving Setsuna you sit in the back with Mileina and make sure she doesn't fall off the seats." Ian said. "Feldt you can sit in the front and take a nap if you want to. You better not fall asleep Setsuna, got it."
"Fine" Setsuna replied as he got into the back seat. Mileina wasn't that big so Setsuna slightly moved her so she only occupied two of the three seats in the back row.
Feldt buckled herself with the seatbelt. She put her hands over her mouth as she yawned.
"Tired." Ian commented. Feldt nodded.
"Take a breather, it's a 20 minute drive form the bicycle shop so close your eyes and relax." Ian advised.
Feldt closed her eyes and relaxed as she felt the cars movements. Sleep eventually washed over her.
"Alright we're here" Ian exclaimed as Feldt opened her eyes. To her it only felt like a few seconds since she closed her eyes. The car was the right outside the garage door. Feldt got out of the car. She looked behind her and saw Setsuna carrying Mileina bridal style.
"Oi, what are you doing" Ian exclaimed.
"I thought you didn't want to wake her up, well this is the only way." Setsuna replied
Ian sighed and rubbed his hair little bit before saying "Fine, put her on the couch when we get inside."
The three them walked up to the door, Ian rang the doorbell. They waited a few seconds and the door opened was women with long flowing blond hair with glasses that had strings on the outside edges of the frame that went back to her ear. She was currently wearing a dark green apron over her purple blouse. She was also wearing gray sweatpants.
"Oh my, Ian you're back." The woman said as she hugged the man.
"Linda, honey I missed you." Ian said as he continued to hug her. They finally broke apart.
"Setsuna welcome, I see you got my daughter in your arms, you better not do anything funny got it."
"Yes Mrs. Vashti." Setsuna replied. Like he would do anything to Mileina.
"And you must be Feldt." The woman continued.
Feldt nodded. "Hello Mrs. Vashti."
"Call me Linda Feldt," Linda said. She then pulled Feldt into a hug. When Feldt got released from the embrace she noticed Setsuna and Ian were missing. Linda noticed Feldt's confusion.
"Those boys are already making themselves comfortable. Follow me, dinners almost ready."
Feldt followed Linda into the living room. The living and kitchen was just one big rectangular room. On one end there was the cooking counter, the sink and the refrigerator. On the other was the T.V. On the right of the 35-inch TV are shelves of movies ranging from Disney princess movies to full on action robot/mecha/sci-fi movies. On the left was speakers connected to the T.V. Across from the T.V was a couch where Setsuna had laid Mileina down to continue sleeping. There was another couch that was on the left, diagonally across from it. The dinner table was in the middle of the large room, near the couch Mileina was sleeping on. The 6-person dinner table was filled with food. Setsuna was already seated at the dinner table. Ian was nowhere to be found.
"I just have to get some drinks and dinner is ready." Linda said as she took off her apron and hung it on the handle on the oven that was below the cooking counter.
"No need" said Ian as he appeared in the kitchen with bottles of water and cans of soda.
"That's great. Now all we have to do is wake Mileina up." Linda exclaimed. "Mileina, wake up. Time for dinner dear."
Mileina moaned as she woke up. She slowly sat up as she drowsily looked around.
"Oh, I guess I'm home." Mileina said. "I wonder who carried me into house."
"Of course it was me" Ian replied. Linda punched Ian in the gut.
"Don't listen to your lying father here." Linda said as Ian rubbed his side in pain. "Setsuna here carried you from the car."
"I knew it. Daddy is too weak to carry me anyways." Mileina said. That comment was a blow to the stomach for Ian. His own little girl questioning his manliness, "Why does the world hate me?" Ian thought. He was trying really hard not to cry in order preserve the amount of manly pride he had left.
"Thanks Setsuna" Mileina said
"No problem" Setsuna replied back. He was just staring at the food on his plate. He was pretty hungry considering he didn't have lunch.
"Well let's get seated folks" Linda exclaimed as everyone in the house went to sit down at the dinner table. Ian sat on the head of the table with Setsuna and Linda seated on the ends of the long side of the table next to Ian. Feldt sat next Setsuna with Mileina across from her.
"Today I cooked you guys some sockeye salmon. They're the freshest during this time of year due to them being native to Northern Pacific Ocean. Summer is the only time for fisherman to catch these fish as the weather is ideal." Linda explained. "The salmon is seasoned with spices and on the side we have some cooked asparagus and spinach which are also seasoned. There also some freshly baked bread in the middle. There are plenty of extras so eat up!"
"Mmmm, looks good." Feldt commented. She loved salmon and vegetables so this dinner was right in her alley.
"Setsuna what do you think?" Ian asked. The raven-haired boy was already stuffing his face with the salmon.
"I thought so. That kid basically can eat everything."
"I eat things that are good." Setsuna retorted woodenly after finishing the salmon in his mouth.
"At least it's better than Mileina" Linda said. Mileina was using her fork and picking at the asparagus.
"Do I have to this?" Mileina asked grudgingly.
"Yes honey, it's good for you. Look Feldt is eating it." Linda replied. Mileina looked at Feldt happily munching on the asparagus and then looked back down at her plate.
"Well if Feldt is eating it then I will too."
"Good girl" Linda complimented. "Now what do you guys want to drink.
"Iced coffee" Ian said.
"Of course you want coffee." Linda replied. "The pitcher of Iced coffee is in the fridge. Go get it yourself." Ian sighed and left the table to go get some of his precious coffee.
"So what about you two?" Linda asked with a smile to Setsuna and Feldt.
"Water's fine" Feldt replied.
"Yeah water's good" Setsuna said.
"Okay here you go." Linda gave Feldt and Setsuna a bottle of water.
"I want some soda." Mileina said
Linda sighed. "Okay, only because you've been a good girl today for showing Feldt around Celestial town." Ian had gotten himself a glass of Ice coffee when Linda passed Mileina a can of soda. The brand name for the soda was Lemon Oasis. Brand names these days were all pretty dumb. How can soda be an oasis when it does so much harm on the body. What these companies doing.
"You know Mileina, Soda isn't the best drink for you. You should really cut the amount of soda you drink as well as other things with a lot of sugar. You eat a lot of candy every day, and let's not get started about those cookies" Linda said
"I do eat them, but only in moderation." Feldt said. All of a sudden she remembered the amount of snacks she had yesterday. She shook her head and mentally noted never to mention that in front of Mileina ever or bad things might happen, very bad things.
"Whatever" Mileina pouted as she opened the can of soda.
The rest of the dinner went smoothly with Setsuna and Feldt getting pretty full. The conversations that happened were mainly about random things that weren't very important. Setsuna and Ian had a discussion about the country of Azadistan and it's politics (apparently Setsuna's was birthed there and lived there until his parents died form the fire). Feldt wasn't really that into politics of America let alone some country that was in the Middle East. While the males at the dinner table talked about politics, She, Linda, and Mileina talked about fashion, specifically clothes worn during the fall.
Feldt shared some of her knowledge to Linda and Mileina. Apparently Mileina didn't like Linda's choices in terms of fashion. Mileina asked Feldt a bunch of things, things like what kind of clothes to wear, and what's popular. Feldt's biggest advice to Mileina was to dress to her style as well as her liking.
"What's important is what you think, if you think that you're cute in that outfit and you believe that being cute suits you, then go for it. Self confidence is the key." Feldt advised to Mileina.
"So if she thinks she looks good in Leotard, should she wear it to school?" Setsuna asked
"I'm pretty sure Mileina wouldn't want to wear a leotard to school." Feldt replied
"Of course not" Mileina confirmed. "I don't even own one.
"I'm just saying the literal meaning of Feldt's words." Setsuna pressed.
"Oh just go back to politics, at least you'll be less be less annoying when you're talking about that." Mileina stated adamantly while sticking her tongue at Setsuna.
Dinner lasted about an hour. Setsuna, Mileina, and Ian were currently down in the basement playing Ping-Pong. Meanwhile Feldt was currently helping Linda with dinner.
"Thanks for helping out Feldt. You're a life saver." Linda thanked while drying off the dishes with a towel
"No problem, I have nothing better to do." Feldt replied as she continued clean the dishes
"So, What do you think of Setsuna" Linda asked as she placed a plate on to the drying rack next to the sink. Feldt inwardly sighed; she really was growing tired of that question. To her it felt like every time someone asked that question to her they were always expecting a particular answer.
"I don't really have an answer to that question yet. I just met him yesterday and I would like to get to know him more." Feldt said
"To me, you know more about him than Ian and me even though you met him yesterday."
"Really?" Feldt asked.
"I can tell that something happened yesterday, something romantic" Linda replied with a wink.
"It wasn't really romantic." Feldt said while remembering the incident involving the detachable faucet.
"Anyways" Feldt continued trying to change the topic "What's Setsuna's relationship with Mileina."
"Mileina is indebted to Setsuna." Linda said
"What!" Feldt exclaimed. "How?"
"Well Mileina is two years younger than you and Setsuna" Linda explained.
"Wait really" Feldt gaped. "How is she in our grade then."
"Well when Setsuna first moved here, we moved right next door a couple days later. Ian accepted the job of catering Setsuna as well as the Dylandys. That day we arrived at this house was the day Mileina met Setsuna. Since Mileina didn't know anyone in the neighborhood besides Setsuna. She became good friends with him which was uncharacteristic of her because at that time Mileina was really shy and couldn't make many friends." Feldt couldn't imagine a shy Mileina, that girl was active and energetic as it gets
"I still can't believe that Mileina's first friend was Setsuna" Linda sighed while shaking her head. Linda reminisced the day Mileina and Setsuna met.
7 years ago...
June 6, AD 2302.
Linda was currently inside a white car with Ian driving and Mileina at the back playing with Disney princess dolls. They were driving towards their new home due to a job Ian had accepted. It was a deathly area considering that one of the most prestigious high schools, Celestial high, was located in the area. Linda was happy that Mileina was going to get a good education as the elementary and middle schools were designed to prep for Celestial High. Though she did worry if Mileina was going to even be accepted to Celestial High, as there were rumors that some local students hadn't made it into the high school. She leaned over to check up on Mileina, the 4 year old was still playing with her dolls. Mileina never could make any friends, making the move to the Celestial town easier for Linda and Ian. Linda sighed; Mileina probably had a better relationship with her dolls than anyone of her preschool classmates. It took another 30 minutes for them to arrive to their newly purchased house (though not by Linda and Ian). It took awhile for Linda and Ian to unpack the stuff that they had brought. They were already exhausted by the time the moving truck came in with all their heavy objects such as furniture as well as more suitcases of clothes and random mementos that the Vashti's had collected thorough their life. Linda and Ian had arrived 10 in the morning, they finished the moving into the house at 5. Both of them were exhausted but little Mileina was still energetic, eager to explore the house as well as their lawn. Ian was cooking dinner while Linda took Mileina outside to play. It was a pretty hot day; Mileina was currently wearing a little yellow t-shirt with some dark brown shorts. She wore little white sneakers with Disney princesses on it. Linda wore black t-shirt with some jeans. Mileina was running around in the front lawn when she saw something. She saw a huge mansion right next to her house.
"Mommy, there's a huge house over there." Mileina commented in her high-pitched toddler voice. She was pointing at the house on the right with Mileina facing the house "Does anyone live there?"
Linda wasn't sure but she thought that the person Ian was working under was probably the owner of the mansion. Suddenly the door to the mansion opened and out came a 6-year-old boy holding a basketball. He had somewhat long raven black hair with amber eyes. He was wearing a blue t-shirt that had gundam Exia on it as well as white shorts with black stripes on either side. He started shooting the basketball into the basketball hoop that was located on the front lawn right next to the driveway; it was placed that the hoop was facing toward the driveway and was closer to the mansion then at the end of the driveway.
"Perhaps we should go meet him sweetie." Linda said
"NO! I just want to play with mommy alone! Mileina shouted
"Come on, you have to make at least one friend." Linda replied calmly
"But what if he does something bad to me?" Linda asked
"I promise you that he won't. I'll be there to protect you if he does, aright?" Linda said comfortingly
Mileina nodded. Linda and Mileina walked across their lawn into their neighbor's with little Mileina hiding behind her mom's leg the whole time. The raven-haired kid was continued to play basketball. He didn't notice that there were two people who were coming to greet him. Suddenly he heard a voice say
"Hey there, can we play with you."
The raven-haired kid turned around. Linda, not knowing what was going to happen was kind of apprehensive.
The raven-haired kid nodded and passed the ball to Mileina who had left her hiding spot behind Linda's leg and was looking at the basketball hoop with curiosity. She caught the ball and did a two handed overhead throw towards the hoop. The ball didn't get close to the hoop and instead landed in the grass behind it.
"Sorry" Linda apologized, "She has never played basketball before so please forgive her."
"No its fine" Setsuna replied as he went to get the ball.
"So what's your name?" Linda asked
The little boy paused. It looked like he was contemplating on his answer. Then he replied "Setsuna, Setsuna F Seiei"
"Hi Setsuna, I'm Linda and this is Mileina. Say hi, Mileina"
The little brunette waver her hand and squeaked a hi.
Setsuna walked up to Mileina and said. "Here, I'll teach you how to shoot" while once again giving her the basketball
He went behind Mileina and used his hands to control Mileina's arms. He moved her arms to a standard shooting form. All Linda did was watch Setsuna teach her daughter how to shoot a basketball.
"Now push up with your right hand." Setsuna instructed. The brunette followed his instructions and pushed her right hand upwards. The basketball hit the back, went down on the rim, rattled around the rim for a bit and somehow went in.
"Good, you have some good arm strength," Setsuna praised as he patted Mileina on the head. Linda noticed that even if the boy's words were probably genuine, his stolid tone didn't have that effect.
Mileina ecstatic with the fact that she made the shot. She proceeded to say happily "Thank you brother."
"Whoa" Linda said, "Mileina, you can't call a person you just met your brother."
"But wouldn't a brother teach a little sister stuff" Mileina pouted.
"I don't mind being called that," Setsuna added. "If it makes her happy."
"YAY" Mileina shouted as she put her arms up in happiness.
Thus a bond between a 6-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl was formed
"Now back to the story. Setsuna was nice enough to play with her when they were little. They used to go outside and play everyday during the summer of Setsuna and ours first year here in this neighborhood. When Setsuna had to leave for school Mileina would always start crying and screaming for him. She was ecstatic every time Setsuna returned to school because that meant she was going to get to play with him again. Well two years later Mileina started elementary school with her being in first grade and Setsuna in third. Since Ian and I were to busy back than due to Ian having to cook for Setsuna and me having my job in the engineering department of Leon's company, Setsuna basically tutored Mileina when she needed help with homework. You could say Setsuna was like a big brother to Mileina as he helped her with her education and even her social life. When Mileina was in third grade, Setsuna introduced his fifth grade classmates to her. Mileina instantly hit off with his classmates and they became great friends. This is where your question comes in Feldt. When Mileina was in fourth grade Mileina didn't really have many friends that were her age, so she decided that she wanted to skip two grades and join Setsuna's class so she could hang out with her actual friends more. Setsuna's pretty intelligent, so he tutored Mileina on everything she needed to know about the curriculum of the 4th and 5th grade. Mileina was pretty bright too, being raised by Setsuna and she easily skipped two grades, passing both examinations for skipping grades with full marks.
"Wow, Setsuna is actually a pretty good friend to have." Feldt commented
"I don't think Setsuna thinks of Mileina as a friend though." Linda said
"If Setsuna wasn't Mileina's friend then what is he?" Fled asked
"I think of Setsuna as one of my own kid, though he might not know that. I will always guide and advise him if he ever needs assistance. I am thankful for what he did for my daughter and have offered him money, gifts etc., but he has never accepted any of those things. I never knew someone so unselfish, and then the thought hit me. What if Setsuna thought of Mileina as more of little sister than a friend?" Linda stated
"That might be possible, considering all the things you told me about Setsuna and Mileina's relationship." Feldt said. "I mean I can't say for sure if Setsuna feels that way towards Mileina, since I only met him yesterday but I feel like its defiantly possible."
"Did you see anything between those two earlier today?" Linda inquired.
"Not really but Setsuna rarely shows anything about himself." Feldt replied.
"I wonder?" Linda said deep in thought
"Linda I actually have a question" Feldt said. There was something that was off about this conversation Feldt and Linda were having, something that Feldt needed clarification on.
"Yes dear." Linda said
"Why are you telling me things about Mileina and Setsuna? I mean I'm grateful to you for telling me all these things, but we literally just met just a few hours ago, why are you so comfortable talking to me?" Feldt asked
Linda giggled and said "Well it's because Setsuna looks more comfortable with you, at least in my opinion, than anyone I know even though you just met him yesterday. I think that's a indication that he trusts you already."
"Really?" Feldt asked a little unbelieving
"Listen, Setsuna has every right to kick you out of his house at any point from the moment you two met till now, but he hasn't. If he didn't trust you we you and I would not be talking to each other right now.
"Setsuna really is kind hearted person." said Feldt.
"Yeah. If only he cared about himself more than others. Setsuna rarely ever tries to make friends. Ever since Mileina joined his class when he was in sixth grade they didn't talk much. Even though Setsuna still acknowledged Mileina's presence (unlike Lyle's), they aren't as close as they use to be."
"Why?" Feldt questioned.
"I believe it's because Setsuna believes that Mileina didn't really need him anymore due to Mileina having the capability to make friends. Also, Both Setsuna and Mileina are on the same class learning the same material so Setsuna didn't really need to teach her anything anymore. So he just lets Mileina enjoy her life without him."
"Why would Setsuna ignore her like that? Especially to a person that's basically like his little sister." Feldt commented indignantly.
Linda smiled wearily. " Setsuna still grieves over his parents death. They meant everything to him. With them gone he basically lost everything. He probably doesn't want to go through that again, losing a loved one. That's why I must ask you to do something Feldt."
Feldt remembered Sumeragi's words. "There are people that are probably going to ask you to do the same thing I am asking you to do because they themselves have tried and failed." Feldt knew she had to say.
"Don't worry Mrs. Vashti" Feldt said, "I know what you're going to ask, Sumeragi already talked to me about it."
"Oh dear, well thank Mrs. Noriega for me. And thank you too Feldt for helping us. If you could possibly just show Setsuna a little ray of hope that life isn't over, than there's a future for him. "Linda thanked as she dried the last of the dishes. She then proceeded to the closet to get some napkins
When Feldt was listening to Linda's story she realized that her goal was possible, it was just a matter of time and effort. Setsuna was a caring person to just about everyone, all Feldt had to do was to make him care about himself. The story also gave Feldt the answer for the "relationship with guardian" box that she didn't know what to put earlier.
Footsteps were heard as the trio in the basement were coming up.
Setsuna was the first one to appear from the basement door, when he saw Feldt he said to her "It's about time to leave."
Feldt just smiled and asked, "Did you win?"
"Pretty much" Setsuna replied. "Neither of them were skilled enough to beat me."
Behind him Ian commented, "If you didn't play with your stupid Chinese grip and if you didn't always put those stupid dinky little spins on the ball, I would have crushed you. My little princess would have as well. Right sweetie?"
"At least I scored a point against him" Mileina said sounding a little depressed due to the fact that she had lost to Setsuna multiple times
"SHHH, don't tell Linda that, she would never let me hear the end of it if she found out I got shut out at my own favorite game that I play everyday." Ian exclaimed as he looked out for Linda.
Feldt laughed. "Well I guess you had fun," She said to Setsuna.
"It was pretty funny watching Ian complain and groan in frustration as he lost again and again." Setsuna replied smiling just a tiny bit.
"You don't need to rub it in." Ian complained. On the outside it might look like Ian was not happy, but when he noticed Setsuna's barely noticeable smile he became very cheerful. Melina noticed as well and smiled. She then nudged Setsuna and said, "It's time for you to get out, and I need some sleep." Mileina said as she let out a yawn. The Vashti's led Setsuna and Feldt to the front door.
"Thank you for hanging out with us for the day." Linda said with a bunch of napkins in her hands.
"No need to thank us." Feldt replied, "I had fun. I'm pretty sure Setsuna did as well."
Setsuna remained expressionless.
"I guess not." Feldt said looking at Setsuna's facial expression.
"He always like that," Ian said. "It might seem not seem that way, but I'm sure he had a lot of joy in beating Mileina and me down in Ping Pong."
"I admit, beating Mr. Self Proclaimed Number One at Ping Pong was pretty amusing." Setsuna said.
"Yeah, Yeah. Don't think you've gained any leverage over me because of one ping pong game." Ian retorted
"Anyways" Linda said as she redirected the farewell conversation. "Thanks for putting up with Mileina for a day, I know she's a handful."
"Hey, I'm more than just a handful," Mileina complained
"Like I said, I had fun so you don't need to thank me for anything," Feldt replied.
"Here you have phone right?" Mileina asked
Feldt nodded, She had purchased a new phone the day before she had left for Setsuna's mansion. She pulled out her pink iPhone
"Here let me add my contact info." Melina said. Feldt gave Mileina her newly acquired phone. Melina took it and started entering her contact information.
"Is this a new phone?" Melina asked nothing that Feldt's phone didn't have any contacts
"Yeah, my old one broke so I had to get a new one. New place, new phone." Feldt explained.
"What about all your old friends," Mileina asked
Feldt paused for a second. She really didn't have friends that gave her their contact information, so she probably was never going to communicate with her friends ever again. Not like she many of them anyways.
"Oh I have them in a phonebook, I just haven't entered them into the phone yet." Feldt replied
"Well I guess I'm your first real friend then." Mileina said. "I also entered Setsuna's phone number since he didn't give it to you himself.
"Hey, how do you know my phone number" Setsuna asked.
"Yeah, how do you know," Ian said getting a little jealous that her baby girl had another man's phone number.
"Uhhh, you gave it to me Setsuna when you and I first got our phones."
"Did I?" Setsuna asked trying to remember. "Oh yeah, we both got our phones on the same day so we decided to celebrate that fact, we would give each other our numbers.
"WHAT!" Ian exclaimed, "You asked for this kid's number first before mine. How could you."
"Such a overprotective father." Linda sighed as she put the palm of her hand on to her face and shook her head in disappointment.
Mileina gave Feldt her phone back and said "Here you go. Just ignore my father, he sometimes does get really annoying."
"Thank you Mileina for yours and Setsuna's phone number. Feldt replied
"Setsuna you better not do anything to my daughter, you got me." Ian threatened
"What happens when your daughter starts going out with another boy?" Linda asked
"I'll kill whoever touches my daughter. You too Setsuna, even if I'm employed under you, I'll still go for your head."
"Shut up dad, I'll choose who I want to go out with, and it's most definitely going to be a boy!"
All of a sudden, the mischievous side of Setsuna planted an idea in his brain while he was watching Mileina and Ian bickering at each other. The idea did include Setsuna being served rotten food for a while but there was a message he needed to convey, and he wanted to do it so that the recipient was the only one who got the message.
As Ian, Mileina, and Linda started arguing about whether or not Mileina could date a boy, Setsuna whispered to Feldt "In about 10 seconds I'm going to do something, are you up for whatever I do?"
"what is this, a bud light commercial." Feldt whispered back
"I'll take that as a yes." Setsuna whispered
All of a sudden, while the Vashti's were still arguing among each other about Mileina's dating rights, Setsuna put his hand on top of Mileina's head and ruffled her hair it just like any big brother would do to his younger sister.
"You have really grown since I last saw you." Setsuna commented. "I don't have anything to really give you as a present. So these words and this gesture is the best present I could muster up within this time."
Mileina just looked at Setsuna in shock while Ian had a menacing look on his face. "oh and the ping pong match was also part of the package but I didn't know that you were that bad at ping pong so don't count that. Well anyways happy one week late birthday little sis." He smiled a little bit as he continued. "Now I think I have to get away before your dad kills me, but if you need anything just come over. I am always there, Feldt is going to be there too. Finally, I know this is tough but please forgive me for ignoring you at school. It's really just what I do to everyone, and I know you're hurt by it so sorry." Linda looked at the conversation with a smile. So did Feldt, though she didn't really understand as much of what was going on as Linda was. Mileina continued to look at Setsuna, she was blushing a little and tears started forming in her eyes.
"Setsunaaaaa!" Ian shouted in rage, "What did I just tell you about 30 seconds ago!"
"Okay gotta go, come on Feldt." Setsuna finished. He grabbed her hands and bolted out into the night with the pink haired girl.
"Dummy, that was the worst birthday present you could give me. And it was a week late" Melina murmured to Setsuna even though he was out of hearing distance. " But thank you brother, I finally have clarity now."
Linda just looked at Mileina and smiled. Looks like Mileina's big brother was back.
Ian started chasing after Setsuna. "YOU LITTLE BRAT, COME BACK HERE AND PAY FOR TOUCHING MY LITTLE GIRL!" Ian yelled
Feldt was surprised that Setsuna had took her hand all of sudden and started dashing toward her house, but now that she heard Ian's scream, she kind of knew why Setsuna was running for his life.
"He's going to attract the neighbor attention." Setsuna said while running across the Vashti's lawn.
"Well if someone hadn't done the stunt that he did, then the neighbors wouldn't be hearing him. "Feldt replied while still running with Setsuna. They were still holding hands.
"Well" Setsuna huffed as they both crossed into Setsuna's lawn, "At least he trusts me enough to not put a fence between our houses."
"I think he might reconsider the idea of no fences." Feldt huffed back as they reached their front door.
Setsuna quickly pulled out the keys from his pockets and a quickly unlocked the door. They doubled their pace of trying to get the second lock open when they heard footsteps along with another shout but Ian. "I SWEAR TO GOD, IF I GET YOU SETSUNA, YOUR FATE WILL BE WORSE THAN WHAT HAPPENED TO LYLE WHEN HE TRIED TO TOUCH MY LITTLE GIRL!"
"What happened to Lyle?" Feldt asked as Setsuna finally unlocked the second lock. Both of them rushed into the house. Setsuna quickly closed the door.
"Lets just say" Setsuna replied as he locked every lock possible. He even contemplated on turning on the security system. "That Lyle couldn't sleep for two nights after that incident with Ian."
"Did he deserve it?" Feldt asked
"No because all he did was "accidentally" fell on Mileina, yes because he's Lyle and he probably did it on purpose." Setsuna replied once again.
Suddenly there was benign noise coming out from the door as well as "SETSUNA, YOU BETTER F-ING OPEN UP, OR YOU WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER MEAL FROM ME EVER AGAIN!"
"That doesn't sound good." Feldt commented
"I CAN COOK" Setsuna hollered at the door."
"LIKE HELL YOU CAN!" Ian shouted back
"My cooking skills is good." Setsuna said to Feldt. "Don't listen to him. He has praised my cooking before"
"Whatever" Feldt said, "I suggest we move before he might consider breaking down the door."
"Lets go to my bedroom." Setsuna suggested. "It's still early and I have some things to discuss with you and I really don't want to be interrupted by a SCREAMING DAUGHTER CON." Setsuna shouted the last few words.
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK" Ian shouted
"Okay, time to go before the house gets damaged and you get killed." Feldt said as she took Setsuna's hand and guided him upstairs and into his bedroom.
Setsuna's bedroom was pretty ordinary. Besides having a few Gundam Exia posters, the rest of the things in his room were just things a typical boy would have. There was a queen-sized bed, with desk and an drawer for clothes. There were also some clothes on the ground but the room was not to messy and there was also a black leathered office chair that was made so that any person with normal height could lean back with the person's head resting on the leather of the chair. Feldt was guessing that Setsuna's computer was a hologram as she could see the emitters form the sides of the desk. There were also a bunch of shelves that had a assortments of different books ranging from educational textbooks to manga and comic books.
"Nice room." Feldt commented
Setsuna quickly went to the window in his room and peered out to check if Ian was still screaming at the front door.
"Good he left. Hopefully he doesn't come back.
"I thought you were a goner. I didn't know you had it in you to make someone that mad." Feldt said
"Yeah well Ian's a exception. It's fun to watch him be angry." Setsuna replied
So Setsuna did have some personality. That was a relief, but Feldt didn't know if making people mad was a good quality to have.
"So you do show emotion, you smiled back at the front door of the Vashti's" Feldt said as she took seat on Setsuna's floor
"Well it was a present for Mileina. She had said she always wanted to see my smile so as a late birthday present I showed her." Setsuna explained as he sat on his bed
"So you can show emotion but you don't?" Feldt inquired
"Maybe a little when I'm with you and Haro. I feel like I can let loose a little here at home." Feldt's face reddened when she heard that her name. "I know there's a preconception of me being expressionless. It's just a habit; no it's more like its part of me now. There's a difference between one forcing oneself to be emotionless and one that is actually is. People are just going to have to get use to the fact that I'm the latter. Whether you like it or not its part of my character. So it's not like I choose to show no emotion, it's just that it's who I am as a person and I can't control it" Setsuna stated
Feldt was confused. Sumeragi and Linda said that Setsuna's emotionless expressions and voice were due to his parent death. Was it possible that they were just exaggerating on it? Could it just be that it was just a part of Setsuna's character and there was no fixing it? But Setsuna's smile to Mileina was really genuine, something that Feldt hadn't seen from Setsuna. Feldt didn't know how to respond.
Then she noticed a look on Setsuna's eyes. It looked like he was reminiscing something, something painful. And then Setsuna's last bit of expression was gone.
"Anyways I need to ask you something." Setsuna said woodenly. At that moment Feldt knew that Linda and Sumeragi words were true. Setsuna did need help. The death of his parent was definitely the cause of his lack of expression. Feldt felt like she needed to help him, as a way of thanking him for letting her freeload at his mansion as well as making sure that she fulfilled her promise with Linda and Sumeragi. Even if it was part of his character, she was going to make him change for the better.
"Have you finished all the forms? Because if you skipped one or two finish them because I need them by tomorrow." Setsuna asked
Feldt was a little startled, how did Setsuna even know that she left part of one blank. No, it has to be a coincidence.
"I have one last section left, nothing that's too time consuming." Feldt replied
"Finish it, I'm sending it over to Sumeragi first thing in the morning. Just give to me when your done."
"Are you going over to her house? Can I come with you?" Feldt asked
"No, you really shouldn't" Setsuna said
"Why?"
"Sumeragi's a alcoholic, I say there's a great possibility that she going to be drunk when I arrive at her house. You really don't want to see that side of her, it might ruin your image of her" Setsuna explained
Setsuna's explanation made Feldt remember Sumeragi holding a bottle of wine in her hands when she visited yesterday. Because of it, she found Setsuna's explanation a little more convincing.
"How are you going to get in if she's all sober?" Feldt questioned
"If she's drunk, then her door is probably unlocked. If it's locked, then i'll just scan the documents and send it to her." Setsuna answered
"Okay, I'll finish the last section up." Feldt said as she stood up. Setsuna got of his bed as well.
"Good, I'm going to take a shower now." Setsuna stated as he took some spare clothes from his drawers and headed towards the master bath.
"Good night Setsuna." Feldt said. Setsuna just grunted in response.
Feldt went into her room and pulled out the unfinished form. She grabbed a pen from her backpack. She really needed to finish moving in and organizing her room. There were still clothes to be sorted out out, accessories to get organized, and other tedious things that needed to get done. She quickly wrote in "Someone I trust" in the blank "relationship with guardian". She looked at what she wrote for a second, thinking if it was a acceptable answer. she shrugged and then proceeded to Setsuna's room with he finished form in her hands. There was no one there as Setsuna was still taking a shower. She returned to her room, and decided to finish organizing her room. It took about an hour but by the time she was done with her room she was pretty proud of it. Her newly arranged room was to Feldt's liking, with a desk properly organized with educational materials. A bookshelf with books, binders, notebooks etc. The dresser and closet full of clothes all organized by style and season And finally, on the wall across from her bed and next to the door were bulletin boards she had glued on with some permanent glue. The bulletin boards were mainly for information and reminders for Feldt. It was also used to display memorable photos; Feldt had already put some photos on already. One was her and her parents, while another was her 8th grade homeroom class photo. Feldt couldn't wait to put some more.
Feldt dropped on to her bed exhausted. She really needed to take a shower but she was also really tired. She weighed the benefits and drawbacks of getting up and taking a shower. In the end Feldt fell asleep, deciding to take a shower in the morning.
Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. The next one was probably not gong to be this long. Introducing some new characters is a lot of work so sorry If it seems a little dragged out, i wanted to define each character to point where he or she has a meaning to the story. As for Setsuna x Feldt fluff, there will be some but I prefer them to develop a relationship as friends first. I'm trying to be somewhat realistic and not take the route of love at first sight. Romance will be there but for awhile it will be in the form of other pairings. Character personalities are going to be like the ones from the anime, but I might add and drop things about certain characters because the setting is more peaceful than the anime.
Now to answer a couple comments:
Blood tinted rain: Thanks!
Testunoqwaser: I will!
RebornExile: Your advice is noted and thank you for it. I will change a couple of things that you mentioned
Paris27: I'm a little confused by your question. There isn't a Luna in Gundam 00 unless I just forgot about that character. If you mean the Gundam Seed Destiny character Lunamaria Hawke then I ship her with Shinn. The only other boy that can possibly be paired up with her is Athrun but I ship someone else with him. So I'm going with the Canon pairing, though I don't really like Shinn that much. I hope that answered your question
So as for the next chapter, I have planned the chapter, as for when it's going to be out. It depends on if I have time, I have busy schedule now that school is starting again. I guess another regret I have in my life is not getting a lot chapters done during the summer. I promise the quality of writing will always be consistent, as i try to limit silly mistakes and typos. See you guys at the next chapter!
