(A/N so heavy angst in this one. It has a happy ending tho don't worry lol. ~*~ please like a vote and a comment uwu~*~ also this is around 4000 words so get ready lol.)


Fifth in command. The least important commander. The clumsiest and most emotional of all of them. It is probably obvious, but she was most definitely Cyrus's least favorite. Still, this wasn't something she allowed herself to be upset by. She was smart and worked hard. She would do anything to help the lead commander accomplish his goals. This includes not stirring up trouble with her fellow commanders.

And boy did they make that hard.

It wasn't entirely their fault. If she were being honest with herself her own emotions were the cause for much of her troubles. Two emotions in particular: love and jealousy.

There was no doubt in her mind that she was completely and foolishly in love with Saturn. Love is a strong word to use, but after the years of being with him how could she not be? How he always checked on her to make sure she was okay, the constant reassurance when she felt bad about how little she felt she contributed to the team, even sticking up for her to Cyrus once. All the evidence supported the fact that he cared about her.

But not as much as he apparently cared for a certain red-haired perfect bodied commander who's name was as pretty as she is. Mars.

(Y/N) had to admit that she was gorgeous. She had caught herself staring at the other female from time to time. Wishing, longing, to have the same effect on Saturn that she had. Her bubbly personality usually made most people drawn to her, and she was unusually kind to Saturn. When they finally realized they both had feelings for each other they would no doubt quickly get together and fall in love. They would be a great, happy couple. Saturns logical side would perfectly compliment her emotional one. They would have a perfectly happy life together.

Meanwhile (Y/N) would bitterly watch them grow together and be happy. She would watch Saturn give Mars the looks that she gives him when he's not looking. She would watch as Mars held his hands while she rubbed her own wishing to just once feel those cold slender fingers caress her own. She would listen to him whisper 'I love you' to Mars. Words that she wished he'd only ever say to her.

Hence the jealousy.

There was really no contest. Mars was skinny and pretty and (Y/N) was chubby and average at best. So there was really no reason she should get her hopes up, right? There is no way that he could love her so don't even try, right?

"(Y/N)," came a voice that she didn't quite recognize. "(Y/N)!" It said louder. She was violently ripped from her thoughts.

"What, huh, yes?" She asked, still feeling a bit disoriented. A small melodic chuckle filled her ears. She knew that voice... a small bit of pink tinted her cheeks. Saturn.

"I came in here to give you some paperwork, but when I got here you were completely in a daze. Are you okay m'lady?" He asked as he took a seat on a clear spot on her desk. A smile spread across her lips at the familiar nickname. She got it back when they had tried to ride some Ponyta. She rode side-saddle and to tease her Saturn has called her m'lady ever since. And as much as she claimed to hate it (Y/N) secretly loved it...

"Sorry, Sir. I just was lost in thought. Anything I can help you with?" She asked as she began fidgeting with her sleeves, a nervous habit she had seemed to pick up when she wanted something but didn't want to ask.

"No. Nothing really. I just needed to tell you that Master Cyrus is hosting a formal dance for his commanders and grunts tomorrow," he said.

"Oh? Well, that's awfully uncharacteristically nice of him," She commented to which Saturn nodded.
