Noin sighed, looking out the window to the snow outside the small, warm
chalet in the mountains; it had belonged to Zechs. She let her forehead
rest against the glass and she sighed, as bitter sadness overwhelmed her.
Zechs was gone. She knew it. She'd seen the Tallgeese go down in flames,
crashing into the Indian Ocean. Closing her eyes made the loss worse
because of the emptiness there, but she did it anyway so she could see
him again. He'd had his seventeenth birthday in space, while he'd been on
the Peacemillian and she knew there had been no celebration. She
remembered the silvery hair that she loved to run her fingers through,
and those deep cobalt eyes that she'd learned to read so well. She could
read emotions there that never registered on his face. The perfect
manners.
She missed him. More than that she had loved him and he had loved her
back, spending long sleepless nights together at the Victoria base.
They'd been roommates at the academy, taking almost all their classes and
studying together. They'd sworn to be together after the war.
Noin's smile turned bitter at that thought. Their promise. She'd sworn
to be with him.
She'd sworn and she always stuck to her word.
Noin opened her eyes and slid off the window sill. She stretched for a
moment and reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear, before going to
the bathroom. In the large spacious bathroom she picked up one of Zechs'
shaving razors and took the blade out of it. She barely felt the bite of
it at her wrists, then she gently slid down the wall and closed her eyes.
Zechs looked up from beside the bathtub. He'd been sitting on the rim of
it, listening to the sound of the snow falling and reminiscing about his
death. It hadn't really been that painful when Tallgeese had
decompressed; or at least not so much as he would have assumed before he
had died. Tallgeese had been within the atmosphere, but the heat being
produced by its fall had ruptured the hull. He remembered a brief flash
of heat and his ears popping as if he was in a plane. Then nothing.
He watched Noin curiously and got up to move closer. The pale tiled
floor below her and the carpet she sat on were dyed rust colored. He
knelt on the carpet without the blood staining his clothes and watched as
she paled.
"Noin..." He murmured. He'd missed her as much as she had him; he hadn't
forgotten their promise, but he hadn't thought of her killing herself
over it. Her eyes fluttered weakly and she saw him, her eyes widening
slightly. He saw her breath catch, panicking. "Shhh," He murmured,
comforting her. "Its alright. There won't be pain." He told her. Her eyes
fluttered again and she almost nodded. "Don't be afraid, Noin, my love is
with you." He said holding out his hand to her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I've always loved your hair." Noin murmured as they stood in the snow,
together at last, Zechs' hair billowing in the wind. His arms wrapped
around her suddenly, pulling her back against him.
"I love everything about you." He answered. Noin smiled. "Forever."
Noin's eyes closed, basking in the warmth of his love.
"Forever." She answered.
