Grace

by Dahunts

A story of compassion, friendship, drama, and love. AN: Any comments or anything would be greatly appreciated. If this goes well, I'll upload a new chapter every week(?) Also feel free to message me directly to talk! I take no credit for any lyrics or anything found to be real. I may have also left a hidden reference or two for other animes as well. See if you can find them.

22. Chapter 18

"So, would we have to keep an eye out for Yoshino as well?" The Commander asked. "Not really. As far as I can tell, she's mostly harmless and prefers to avoid people." Shawn answered. "Why don't you tell me about-" The Commander started. He was interrupted by another military member, rushing into the room. "Command Sergeant Major Phillips, sir!" the man announced, saluting and holding the pose. He wasn't as decorated as the Commander sitting across from Shawn, but wore the same uniform. "Corporal Flannigan." Phillips said before standing. "Sir, Second Lieutenant Christou needs to speak to you." Flannigan spouted. Phillips looked at Shawn then back at Flannigan. "Very well. I'll need you to keep an eye of Ecker here." he said. "Yes sir!" Flannigan replied. Phillips walked out, closing the door behind him. Flannigan watched Shawn, not blinking very often.

Shawn gave a friendly smile and waved at Flannigan. Flannigan was less than amused. "Wonderful weather we're having." Shawn joked. Flannigan kept silent. "You're not a very fun person, are you?" Shawn asked. "I should kill you now and save the Commander the trouble." Flannigan finally replied, coldly. "So, Phillips is planning on killing me?" Shawn asked. Flannigan kept quiet again. Shawn smiled a bit. "Oh well. I guess I had a good run." he said. Phillips soon returned.

"Thank you Flannigan. Dismissed." Phillips said, sitting back down. Flannigan saluted again before leaving. "Well Shawn. As much as I love the time we're spending together, the higher-ups want you to wrap this up soon." Phillips said. "'If I leave her tomorrow, would you still remember me?'" Shawn jokingly started singing. Phillips chuckled a bit. "You know, you're pretty funny. It's a shame you're a sociopathic piece of shit." Phillips said. "Fast forward to yesterday." Phillips continued.

[Hey everyone! Hope you've enjoyed the story so far! Unfortunately, this story has to come to a close soon. And by soon, I mean next chapter. Sorry if this chapter seemed short, but I thought it would be a nice way to slide right into the next chapter. Seeing as the next chapter will be the final one, I'll work my hardest to make it the best I can. I can promise you all that. Not much else to say except, look forward to the final chapter! It's because of you all that I decided to take it this far, so thank you. Finally, I'll end this with a quote.

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."]
