What Memories Do To Those Who Live Long Enough

The Great Loli War: Stars Era.

AFTER HALF+

************************************************************************************************

"It's better if I go in this direction, commander…nyahh..."

Pawn looks at Luii who's talking in her sleep again. He's starting to get worried for her. At a young age he would always tease her for it, since he was just maybe around 17-19 around her age, but now being aware and a veteran of a literal great war, Pawn feels like he should apologize to her later, after she finishes with her sleeping…

"Xiomara!"

"Unyah!"

Luii looks around as she just felt someone scream right at ears right now. She holds her head groaning and she could almost puke and-

…?

Luii looks at her right hand and sees that she's holding a M240, and her palms are covered with bloody bandages.

"H-huh…?"

A large explosion just occurred and the lolis around her started to panic. Being unprepared in no loli's land is a serious thing that should be dealt with quickly, otherwise whoever is charging will be able to-

"Xiomara! Get a hold of yourself! We've been spotted by a ASDS-67! Our positions have been exposed! We need to get you out of here!" A familiar voice tells her as she grabs a hold of Luii's hand and started running across the tunnels while those soldiers who are in the front are ordered to defend, whilst not being told that their guaranteed deaths are coming if they prolonged any longer there, this made Luii wake up gasping for her with her open wide.

"H-hah… t-the war… R-rinun…"

She groans as she holds her face, trying to get a hold of herself. She keeps telling herself that it was just a dream, and only a dream…

"Oi, nyankers."

Luii looks at who that is and Pawn just sits by her and puts a hot mug down beside her.

"Thought you would like some chocolate milk marshmallows for breakfast."

He said as he sips from his own mug.

Luii scratches her ears as lifts the mug, seeing her reflection, almost.

But something like this just made her think of a bad memory so she just looks away and sighs.

Pawn keeps drinking his mug until it's all gone. "I forgot you didn't like cold chocolate drinks, so I just swapped mine with yours."

Luii looks at Pawn, taking some glances within her mug and him. "Oh, uh thanks."

"Nah, it's no problem." Pawn said with that cheeky smile of his. "After all, isn't taking care of a cat everyone's responsibility?"

"I'm not a cat anymore." Luii said. "I'm a loli now, I've told you that many times, Pawn."

Pawn couldn't help but just snicker a bit, hearing somebody he's been taking care of annoyed him is just so satisfying when the same person is just as curious as a child. Being an adult really changes everything, huh?

And then there was silence between the two. Both of them are friends, the closests friends actually, at a young era the both of them would have a non-stop talking discussion about everything they see.

It was like two children playing around in a playground, but now they're adults, seeing the playground just makes them nostalgic they're seeing what they've used to call a happy living.

Basically, they don't know how to come up with something.

What happened was the both of them just stayed by each other's side till morning.

Kiece Riff found both of them and scolded Pawn for giving Luii chocolate, and she was given some medicine to prevent any sickness from happening, and Pawn was sent to solitary confinement for a while, but having to joke around the Second Star of his country while being scolded is worth it for him in the end, though he wasn't thinking Luii wouldn't be able to drink something like chocolate, I guess he didn't take lessons from schools when he was little.
