Milly

[infinitejustice]

[Arranged marriages. Neither Athrun nor Milly wanted their arrangements. And though Athrun managed to get out of his (though by no actions of his own), Milly hadn't been so lucky. Her fiancé, a man who had some political clout, came to call on the engagement, and like it or not, the wedding would be underway.

Well, Athrun would have none of that. He had once stood by and let a girl he loved slip out of his fingers. Not this time, though. Milly was too dear to his heart. Even if she was the single most triumphant example of an extrovert in the modern world and he was a borderline shut-in, Athrun understood that he needed that girl, her energy, and her caring nature in his life. So he devised a plan, taking a page from his best friend's book this time.

Meanwhile, the wedding was being held outdoors. It was a grand venue, overlooking the sea. There was security, but it was based around keeping uninvited guests out -- assuming they tried to get in on foot.

Athrun, however, most certainly would not be coming in on foot.

As the minister gets to the line of "speak now or forever hold your peace," a loud noise, sounding something like a cross between a jet engine and wind blowing past an open car window, sweeps across the venue, followed by a strong gust of wind. Both die down, though the sound doesn't die away entirely.

Up in the air, only a few hundred feet over the venue, hovers a mobile suit in all the glory its 18.9-meter height commands. The light signals on its feet declare its intention to land, and people run out of the way to avoid being crushed by nearly 80 tons of metal and plastic.

The machine sets down as gently as its verniers will allow, then bends down on one knee. Its right hand extends toward the altar, where Milly is standing, and comes to a rest in front of her, palm up and fingers extended. At the same time, the hatch in the Gundam's chest opens up, ready to receive her when the hand moved back toward the chest.

Athrun knew there'd be hell to pay for this. But Milly was worth it.]

[as a child, she had been promised true love.

of course, her parents told her lots of little lies in her youth, and this was one of them. it should've been expected-- they lost their ranking so many years ago, and they had been biding their time ever since, waiting for the day she could marry. she had no intentions of marrying so young when there was an entire world to be explored, and even though she had told herself that a thousand times, she still had a duty to the house of ashford. milly was the only heir. there was no one else to take the responsibilities...

there was no one else to marry off. there was no spare.

so she was engaged to a nobleman with a high ranking, but a brain as large and as functional as his genitalia (which, to her misfortune, she learned was... lacking). but she was a perfect fiancée, graceful and kind, beautiful and clever. truly, she would run the estate she married into, but she didn't want that. it was what her parents wanted. and if they wanted it so badly, why didn't they marry him?

besides, she wanted to marry for love. if anything, she wanted to marry someone like athrun. or actually marry athrun... he wasn't exactly her type, but what did it matter when he made her feel like she was worth more? how could she care about type when she was hopelessly infatuated with his embarrassed smiles, his courage, his gentle heart, all of him?

but she couldn't tell her parents she wanted to leave their chance at reclaiming nobility for a pilot. she might never see him again if she did... they were already on the fence about her spending so much time with him as it was.

there's a part of her heart that hopes, at some point during the planning, the dress fittings, the guest selection, ANYTHING, he'll confess he loves her and he wants to run away with her, far away from politics, far away from arranged marriages. but that never happens. and she hopes all the way until the wedding day.

they say she's beautiful, a vision of loveliness, a perfect bride. and she does feel beautiful-- a ballgown tends to do that for a girl. but this isn't her wedding day. not the one she dreamt of. it's signing a contract in the most opulent way. but there's no one else who can do it for her... she's prepared to sign away her life. the vows have been said, and even though she thinks of opposing her own wedding, she doesn't.

someone else does it for her.

initially she's angry at someone causing a commotion-- what if they have to do this all over again?! but then she's relieved, and more than that, thrilled. because she knows that mobile suit, and she knows its pilot better. even as her guests (and her fiancé) run away, she stays still, smiling the whole time. her parents are screaming at her, security is moving in, there's no time to waste. it's do or die. so with a grin and a wink over her shoulder, she picks up her skirts to step into the Gundam's hand, ready to leave in style.]

[infinitejustice]

[Of course, it doesn't take long for security to recognize the mobile suit in question as the Infinite Justice. That alone causes some hesitation; after all, what would they gain from trying to shoot a war hero?

And Athrun had been hoping to use that to his advantage. The immediate consequences would definitely suck, but if he could milk the general public, things could turn.

But that was for later. Now, though, Athrun's Gundam remains very still as Milly climbs into its hand. Then, carefully, Athrun guides the hand back toward the chest, where a figure wearing a custom flight suit can be seen sitting in the pilot's seat.

As the hand comes to a stop in front of the hatch, Athrun reaches up to his helmet and presses a button, causing his visor to retract up into his helmet. Then, he smiles -- though this time it's not one of his sheepish grins; no, this is the confident smile of an ace pilot who knows exactly what he's doing.]

Sorry I'm late. Justice needed a last-minute washing.

[He's joking; the Infinite Justice's armor attracted dirt and grime about as well as Teflon does.

But hey -- when going to a wedding, you have to look your best.]

[shesgotguts]

[she hasn't stopped smiling, beaming at up at him as he lifts her up to him. it should be terrifying, being lifted so high, but she knows he won't drop her. he wouldn't even dream of it. still, she tries to keep herself steady so she doesn't knock herself over in excitement. (and lord knows she's got quite a bit to be excited about.)

the man she sees in the pilot's seat is indeed athrun, who she's falling for even more now, but he's decidedly different. that smile, that posture... it's all him, but it's more. he's exactly who she wants to see, the way she's always known he could be.

she lifts her veil, eyes bright as she gazes at him, laughing fully after he speaks.] It looks wonderful. [and then--] You do too. You should wear that more often. [the smile. the suit. everything.]

[infinitejustice]

Never thought I'd hear someone say that about a flight suit.

[He's amused. As far as he's concerned, this is standard wear for him, though it may be the first time she's seen him in his custom flight suit.

Meanwhile, he can't bring himself to take his eyes off her. He extends both of his hands out toward her, as if to welcome her into his cockpit. It's not really meant for passengers, though; she'll have to sit crosswise on his lap in order for it to work.]

Meanwhile, you...you're like a work of art. I've never seen you look so beautiful. I see you dressed and made up as you are now, and I can't help but think you're the most beautiful woman to have ever existed. Or that ever will exist.

[Cheesy? maybe. But he's speaking how he truly feels. Under normal circumstances, he had a hard time imagining how any girl could look more attractive than Milly, but seeing her wearing a gorgeous wedding gown and the right amount of makeup increased her beauty far beyond what he could have possibly imagined.]

Now let's get moving. The sooner we get you in here, the sooner we can leave.
