Isaribi

Puppy's POV
Their shuttle docked not too long after me and bel did, I was already being swarmed by curious faces, Bel released a rumble as i nervously detached myself from the Alaya Vijnana. The cockpit oppened and I was greeted by Mikazuki, i laughed nervously, my helmet still covering my face as i pushed myself up to Bels face. I pressed my forehead to the grey spot and thank him for getting me here safely.

I then landed next to Mikazuki, he gave me a look, "it's okay to take the helmet off." he shrugged. I shook my head no, "im going to get my stuff, do you guys, have a place i can stay? Considering..?" Mikazuki pointed towards Orga, "Orga will show you" i nodded, going to the shuttle and collecting my items, then looking for Orga. Finding him I stood behind him patiently. He was in the middle of conversation with an older man. I listened quietly.

"We have a new gundam, and pilot." "We do?" he looked surprised, he didn't miss Belial coming into the bay, but missed that it wasn't Mikazuki piloting Bel. Then his eyes fell on me, "he's tiny, smaller than Mikazuki even-" Orga cut in gently, "well, a good reason for that is that 'he' is actually a she" my eyes went wide, like, yeah they'd find out after I'd changed but still- he was so blunt about it! I shrugged, nodding my head in agreement.

"And she has whiskers?" He asked, confused. "Aren't they supposed to avoid doing such surgeries on girls?" I nodded, "I was an exception I guess.." the voice changer was engaged, I looked around the bay, getting excited when Barbatos came into view. I shook my head, calming myself slightly before gently tapping Orga. He looked back, "Mikazuki told me you'd show me to my room?" He nodded, "I should do that, shouldn't I?" He laughed, winked, and grinned, heading off. I followed quickly, nodding to the older man before leaving. My best guess was that he was the mechanic.

Orga led me to a room near the barracks and opened the door, there was a decently sized cot as well as a few other things, it looked far better than where I slept originally. "It's not much, but it's not a shared room so it should do." I nodded eagerly sliding in past him tossing my blanket and zealous onto the bed, I then set some clothes aside and shoved the rest into the drawers beside the bed. "Thank you! I'm going to get changed now" I took my helmet off and offered him a small smile. He nodded and closed the door, leaving.

I got changed, I picked a form fitting body suit, though it had a place for my whiskers in the back, baggy sweatpants, colored camo like they used to do on earth. I then grabbed a matching jacket, adorned with a harsh red line. I pulled the jacket on, it was rather oversized but still comfy. I slipped out of my room and wandered the halls of the Isaribi, retracing my steps back to the bay where Bel sat. I smiled wide when he came into view. I followed the cat walk to get to his cockpit, slipping in slowly, resting in the seat. I didn't connect to him, unsure of the policy's here, I should have asked.

At some point I drifted off, curled up in the pilots seat.

Mikazukis POV

She wasn't in the room Orga said she'd be in, it was time for dinner and she hadn't eaten since she got onto the isaribi. Someone said they'd seen her heading towards the bay, so that was my next stop. When I arrived I was tailed by one of our members, "We did a good look on that suit, Gundam Belial, and it's in tip top condition, oh, and there's a girl? Curled up in the cockpit, she claimed she was the pilot and the old man said she was fine so we just left her" I nodded, picking up my pace and going across the catwalk to get to the cockpit. There she sat, curled up in the seat. I reached in and gently tapped her. "Wake up. Dinner."

She curled up slightly before stretching, as if she'd slept in the suit before. She sat up, rubbing her eyes and looking up. Her face turning a soft shade of red. She pulled her coat tighter around herself. She yawned and stood, climbing from her gundam, "dinners ready." She perked up, climbing out of Bel, patting him on her way out and saying goodbye. "I'll follow you to the mess hall" she smiled at me, waiting for me to lead the way.

I begin walking and she followed patiently behind me, humming to herself. "Why are you so attached to Belial?" She didn't respond for a few seconds, "cause he's the one thing that's ever been as close to me, I don't really care if he's AI or something..he's so damn comforting.." I nodded, "how often do you fall asleep in the cockpit?" She paused for a few seconds again, "only a handful of times, usually when we're at battle for long stretches of time, I'll catch a cat nap in the cockpit while they're doing repairs" "did they not let you rest when you needed it?" "No, but bel isn't that uncomfortable to sleep in, I know I'll be safe so long as I'm within him" she sped up to walk beside me.

"He's carried me to and from many battles" I smile softly at her, "he's a safe place for you?" She nodded. "Yeah, he is" we came to the door of the mess hall and I gently grabbed her, turning her to me. "I'm going to kiss you again." She blushed and smiled, "y-yeah! Okay!" I pressed my lips to hers again, my eyes closed, she smiled against my lips, I pulled her closer to myself, pressing into her more. Then released her, staring at her face, she had a small smile on her face, blushing. "Let's go get dinner" she nodded in agreement and we went into the room.

Puppy's POV

He kissed me again! I touched my lips as we went in, I composed myself and made my way to the dinner line. It smelled so good. I thanked the cook, she seemed nice. I gave her a small smile and admired the dinner before me as I walked to a place to sit down. I mumbled under my breath, "mm its smells so good..." I sat down and begin to eat, the food tasted way better than anything I've ever had before. I tried to savor it, it just tasted so good, I finished it quicker than I would have liked but it was worth it.

After I finished dinner, I sat there for a few minutes, my mind drifting back to each time Mikazuki kissed me. He got bolder each time, getting a little closer, getting a little more intimate. I stood up, stretching, and grabbing my plate and taking it up to the kitchen, washing it, as well as the other plates there. I began to hum to myself, there was no one in the kitchen so I got the job done rather quickly.

Once I finished I made my way back to the bay, wanting to check in on Bel. I knew he was bound to be in good condition, I just needed to be sure. When I entered the bay, I ran into a blonde boy, a tad taller than me, his hair was covering half his face. He had an information pad so I took a shot in the dark, "h-hey! Are you a mechanic?" He looked surprised but gave a cheerful nod. "I am! What do you need help with?" I smiled at him, "well, I wanted to check in on Gundam Belial- being his pilot n all it's only expected for me to worry about him!"
