Yoo long time no see you guys! I'm bringing Annalogia to you today, but to those of you who want more Nalu let me offer you my current (also first) ongoing multichapter called 'Rewind', especially if the idea of Natsu and Lucy meeting the younger versions of each other is a concept that interests you! :D
Pairing: Annalogia
Characters: Anna Heartfilia, Acnologia
Genre: Military AU, Angst and Romance
Rating: K
Summary: Traitors deserve what they get. That was a lesson learnt the hard way.
Request: '...how about (angsty) Military AU with the ship I fell in love with thanks to you - Annalogia? ^_^'
Anna grit her teeth as she pulled another evasive manoeuvre, her fighter jet elegantly weaving through the clouds and the wind and mach speeds, a stark contrast to her state of mind as she fought for the upper hand over the plane currently tailing her.
Dogfights were extremely stressful all on their own, but what made this particular one even worse, was knowing who was sitting in the cockpit of the jet behind her, trying so hard to gun her down.
'Does he even know it's me?' a small part of her wondered, as she pulled into a sharp vertical climb.
She could almost feel his eyes boring into her, and she looked over her shoulder. And for one fragment of a second, time slowed down to a halt.
It was as if nothing else existed.
Just them.
Finally meeting those hard azure eyes, her heart dropped to her stomach and she could tell clear as day.
'He knows.'
And then Acnologia attacked.
Recovering not a moment too soon, Anna rolled her plane away, narrowly avoiding the missiles, and turned back to horizon level, now successfully tailing his jet. She noted with a lurch of her heart how the national colours on it so different from the ones on hers.
Gulping, she buried all her lifelong memories of him.
Memories of lying on the grass on warm spring afternoons, sharing stories of pets and of playing in the snow or by the seaside. Memories of holding each other close and lending each other strength in times of fear or pain. Of whispered confessions and first kisses. Of innocent love and sinful pleasure.
Of him and her.
She flipped the cover over of the switch, taking a breath as deep as those few moments would allow, not even noticing the tear that threatened to roll down her cheek.
'A traitor deserves what they get,' she remembered once again.
And, bracing herself - knowing all too well this would never ever leave her - she pushed the button, launching the heat-seeking missiles at him.
Anna watched in silent anguish as they met their mark and his jet burst into flames, crashing hard and fast onto the farmland below. She watched long after the small mushroom cloud that was a result of his forced descent vanished - leaving in its wake the burnt, mangled remains of what had just soaring in the heavens with her.
Not once did she see the parachute she was hoping to catch a glimpse of. And with that knowledge any hope of him having survived died as well.
Choking, she peeled her watery eyes away from the sight, reporting the successful execution of her task to the ground staff and heading back to base.
'A traitor deserves what they get,' she chanted to herself over and over again, the weight in her heart only increasing with each repetition.
She absently wondered what the rest of her squadron would feel, knowing they had had a double-crosser in their midst.
'It had to be done,' she told herself again, though not entirely buying it.
Through her now streaming tears, she chuckled dryly at the irony of it all.
The spy couldn't even trust her own words anymore.
Ahh annalogia :')
