Light In The Darkness (Soudam Fanfic)

Chapter 2: Thinking of a plan

The male nodded. "Do you think it would be wise to inform some of the others for assistance as well? Or should we talk among ourselves first?" He asked as he grabbed some fruit and vegetables from the table and sat down next to sonia. "I do not think he will ever come to like me sonia." He sighed as he ate some of his fruit off his plate.

"I do not think it would be all that wise to tell anyone else about this just yet. Who would we tell anyway? I don't suppose that Souda has all that many friends of his own with that attitude of his" Sonia said.

The male nodded."Yes I know, I was just suggesting. I belive Hajime, kuzu and ibuki are souda's friends. But I belive that is about it. The others are annoyed of him, but appreciate his help in fixing things." He said now looking across the room spotting souda sitting with Hajime.

"Ah, Hajime may be able to help us if we really do not know what to do! However, as I said, we should keep it to ourselves for a while." Sonia said, glancing over at the two. Souda seemed to be in quite an angry conversation with Hajime, almost as if he were venting to the boy about a certain Ultimate Breeder.

The breeder sighed. "Yes, Hajime might be able to assist us, but concidering souda's thick skull it might be difficult to get through to him even for someone calm and composed like hajime. The mechanic mortal is a difficult one to aquire." He responded looking at how angry the pink haired male looked he has hoped he didn't upset him that much.

Sonia nodded in agreement. "That is very true, but maybe there will be some time where you two can bond and get to know each other more. I feel that maybe he isn't as difficult as he would like to portray himself, he is just acting so that people think he is tough. " She pointed out. "You will get your chance eventually, Gundam, and I think that when you do you can certainly win him over." She added with a sweet smile.

The breeder smiled and nodded. "And until then I shall try and be a bit more friendlier to souda, instead of arguing back at him and making it worse. I did assume he was putting on a act but he still is being a bit difficult don't you think sonia? I do not know how to win him over though, besides he's madly in love with you "princess miss sonia" as if he says, he worships you sonia." He responded sighing.

Sonia thought for a moment, Gundam definitely had a point, but maybe Souda was just fawning over her for the attention of someone else as well?
"I have a small hunch, Gundam. Maybe he is trying to make someone else jealous by showering me with affection. It is completely possible, is it not?" She asked.

The male raised his eyebrow. "Do you believe so? Who's attention would he be seeking?" He questioned. "Do you its possible he wants to get my attention sonia?" He asked her. "Maybe we can ask Hajime to ask souda about it since he's his "best friend" the breeder suggested.

"Maybe that is all an act too? We will not know until we ask Hajime however. " Sonia said. "He could really like you, but in fear of being rejected he is hiding it, you know"

The breeder nodded. "I forgot about the whole rejection factor, that would indeed make sense though. Should we ask hajime after he is finished?" He asked sonia looking for a response.

Sonia nodded. "After Kazuichi goes off to do whatever it is that he does then we can go talk to Hajime about him."

The breeder agreed. "Okay so shall we wait for now? And just chat about other things? I do belive I am almost done with that animal novel you lent me." He responded now shifting his gaze on souda then back on sonia.

Sonia brightened up a bit at the mention of the book she had lent Gundam. "Oh, you are? That is good! I assume you are enjoying it then if you are already almost done with it."

The male nodded "It had some good facts about hamsters that part I enjoyed." He responded now looking over at the table to see souda getting up and leave, leaving Hajime alone at the table. "Shall we go ask him now sonia?" He questioned.

Sonia glanced over to Hajime's table. "I think now would be an appropriate time to go talk to him, yes." She smiled.

Gundam crossed his arms feeling nervous at Hajime's response. "Yes now seems like an appropriate time, Sonia. Let's head over." He responded walking towards the brown haired male.

Sonia could sense a tense aura around Gundam as the two headed over to talk to Hajime. "I am sure that everything will be fine, Gundam, please do not fret so much." She said happily, trying to reassure him.

He had nodded feeling a bit less tense with sonias reassuring words. "Hajime if it wouldn't be of much trouble can I talk to you about something concerning souda?" He asked the brown haired male. The brown haired male raised an eyebrow nodded motioning for them to sit. "Well you see here, Sonia has informed me that souda might not actually hate me, and actually wanted to get my attention and I was wondering since you are his very good friend you would know something of the sort." Gundam asked hajime. Hajime nodded explaining how souda was talking all about how frustrating Gundam makes him, he said he'd wish he could actually try and act normal around the breeder but he seemed like he thought the breeder would hate him even more if he did. "Me? Hate souda that's impossible! What is in his mind that made him think that way?" He stammered obviously upset over the whole thing.

Sonia was a bit surprised by this sudden turn of events. It seemed that Souda just wanted to be friends with Gundam, but thought that the breeder did indeed hate him. Though there was no reason for him to think that, but who's to say what goes on in that mechanic's head. The princess leaned over to Gundam and gave him a hug.
"See, I told you that he did not hate you. Though this may take some time to make him think that you do not hate him..."

His body relaxed at the sudden hug from sonia." Yes, I realize he might of thought I hate him due to my strange type of talking, some things might sound harsh in a mortals mind. I should maybe try calling him by his actual name and not mechanic mortal? Or try and not get so upset at his pretend jeers. What do you think sonia?" He had questioned the blonde haired girl.

"I think calling him by his real name would definitely ease the tension between you both. And maybe not calling him mortal all the time? I know that is what he is, as I am as well, but he may take it as an insult." She said.

The breeder nodded. He expected his type of talking might have been a factor to the cause of souda not liking him that much. "I shall try it and see if the results change. Should I try saying his first name after he gets use to me calling him by souda?" He asked contemplating what to do. "And you know sonia, I did not mean for it to become a insult. I merely talk this way." He stated.

She thought about it a moment before answering him. "I would ask him yourself, what name he prefers you to call him." She smiled. "And I am aware that it is not an insult! But Kazuichi may not be..."

Gundam nodded and smiled. "Okay, sonia I will take my leave now and try it out by myself to see his reaction I will tell you all about it later, I am well aware you have plans to hang out with the girls today so you should get going to them." He responded now waving at sonia as he walked towards the door to leave the restaurant area to go look for souda. He arrived and opened the door now, outside. Now where could that mechanic could have gone? He pondered in his head where he should go next.

Sonia headed off to hang out with the girls at the beach as she had planned.
