Overwatch Special

Chapter 7: Unrequited Love

And so, Moria and Juno took shelter in a small cave along the mountain side.

Juno, a conversationalist of course started to make small talk with Moria. Who had nothing better to do reluctantly decided to entertain this girl for the time being until the storm passes.

" may I ask how did you two meet?" Juno questioned, curious on how they became such good friends. 'assuming' that they are good friends.

" colleagues during our younger years." Moria answered, with a small smirk but it quickly faded, making her think how many years had passed between than and now.

" wow! you two must have so much history together!" Juno said, thinking that's wonderful. Smiling happily hearing this.

" ..we do" Moria said, with a smile. But.. at the same time it held sadness.

Juno seemed to notice this, confused.

" you.. seem sad?" Juno asked, wondering now perhaps these flowers are to put on a grave or something like that now.. oo took a dark turn..

" we just aren't that close anymore. That's all." Moria admitted, than quickly changed the subject but commenting " such as fate." making it seems like there wasn't a choice in it.

" but.." Juno said, seeing Moria look at her.

" I still believe you have a choice to change it" Juno said, giving her opinion. Thinking that although it may seem like fate that maybe it's the choices they made for it to happen but just like so they can still make decisions to change it. That it may not be set in stone yet.

Moria made a low laugh and say " nothing I do now can change what's happened between us. And, I wouldn't change a thing. Even knowing the outcome." too prideful and stubborn. Even though she knows the result she hates.

Juno looked a little sad hearing that. But decided it is this Terran's choice.

Juno: " so does this mean you two are not close anymore?" hearing Moria say " that's correct." making Juno say " than why do you still address her as your friend? and why go through all this trouble to get a flower for her?" confused.

" I don't want to talk about this." Moria said, shutting down the continuation of this conversation with Juno. As it is getting too personal to her.

" is it.. because you love her?" Juno asked, knowing that these things should never be talked about/knowing from Kiriko that this (what I'm trying to say/imply is that Juno is basically asking Moria if she likes women) is unacceptable.

Juno saw Moria's reaction, her eyes wide that she had asked her such a thing. Clearly didn't expect her to. But guessed the assumption matches up with the action doesn't it?- Moria thought.

" no." Moria said, strictly. In a very stern and serious tone. Narrowing her eyes at Juno.

" s-sorry to assume" Juno said, hearing Moria say " you'd best be careful." warning Juno.

" I- I'm sorry to ask but do you know what love is?" Juno asked, wanting to know what is it for herself.

Moria made a dead chuckle and say " I wouldn't know." telling Juno that love is different for everyone. And that there is no definitive answer to what love is.

They continued on their trek to the flower field. Finally reaching it after a grueling journey. Well, for Moria that is of having to listen to Juno annoy the hell out of her just like Sombra and Sigma.
