Chapter 3: "Watching Zero grow"

I smiled and left as Zero's test began. I already knew the outcome. He would pass just as I did.

My repairer followed and I had to make sure she knew I didn't want her getting to know me. I only had interest in one person.

Every time I closed my eyes I could see him. Zero and his blue eyes, so beautiful.

. . . . .

I heard a gasp! But I didn't have to look because I already knew it was Zero. I listened to his heavy breathing until hours later his breathing evened out.

I rolled over and stared at him. His mouth half open, very cute. I shook my head, not believing I thought that. I closed my eyes, this was getting nowhere.

Sleep found me all too soon, only an hour or so of it before the alarm went off. I rolled out of bed and began to get ready while the others slept on.

I left them, if they wanted to be pilots they'd have to wake up on their own.

One last look at Zero and I shut the door.

All four arrived on time by some miracle. Three of them sat on the floor panting.

I snarled to myself as I watched Zero panting for breath. I am only a human male; I couldn't stop my thoughts form imaging the dark-haired boy in my bed panting as I touched him. I smiled.

. . . . .

I hate her! That Cat-ear girl caused Zero's own self-destruction. I told him so and he didn't like being told that.

We fought again.

Zero got in trouble since I didn't fight.

The boy was so annoying, yet, I couldn't help but love how Zero could get so angry. He was special.

His openness, I could read him easily.

Zero went off to train with Cat-ears and Erts, I wasn't so worried. In the long run I knew everything Zero did would get him closer to being a pilot.

I would set back and watch him grow. Someday the two of us would be Goddess pilots.

Someday he would belong to me as my equal and lover.

Someday…
