An Appleseed Shoujo-Ai Story
My life is good.
I have a good job fighting crime, have an understanding colleagues,
and most importantly of all, I'm with the one I love.
It just doesn't get much better than this.
Oh, where are my manners? I should have introduced myself first. I'm
Deunan Knute. Welcome to my -- excuse me -- OUR place.
This is where we live. Just the 3 of us. It's a sweet arrangement,
if I do say so myself.
My best friend has a private room. My beloved and I have a room.
I still find it soo hard to believe. Just a few years ago, if anyone
had said that I would be this happy, I would have said that they were
crazy. I was still in the "Badlands" at the time. That was when it
all began. That was I met not only my best friend, but the love of my
life as well. That was when I met --
"Hey, Deunan. What are you up to?" Someone asks.
"Oh, nothing. Just writing in my memoirs." I answer.
Then someone enters my room.
I look up from my writing, then sigh quietly. It was my best friend,
Briareos Hecatonchries. I just smile at him. "So, what's new? Are
we on duty... again?"
He just chuckles. "When are we ever NOT on duty? No, I wanted to
know, what's for dinner tonight?"
I answer. "I don't know. Surprise me."
He replies, "Okay. Oh, what are you writing about this time?"
I say, "I'll show you later."
He says, "Okay, I guess I'll see you later.", then he leaves.
I just smile. Yes, life is good. Now, where was I? I look down at
my memoirs, and resume writing.
That was I met the people who would become my lifesavers. First, my
first, and best friend, Briareos.
Together, we managed to survive the nightmare world that was the
"Badlands". To this day, I really don't know how we stayed alive
until now. And, quite frankly, I'm not sure I really want to know.
But, enough about that.
The other one would eventually become my beloved. When we first met,
I thought it was an angel. How else could someone else have saved us
from that place, and bring us into the paradise of Olympia?
I was in awe at first sight, and I'm still in awe now.
Right now, you're probably wondering who my beloved is. Well, I can't
blame you there.
Well, I'll tell you this. Despite what you may have heard at the
police station where we work, it is NOT Briareos. Besides, I prefer
women. It is --
"Hey Deunan. Where are you?"
I hear it. The one voice that still captures my heart, even now.
"Deu-chan, where are you?"
I just smile, and keep writing.
"Hey, Briareos-kun. Have you seen Deu-chan?" She asks.
"Try your room. The last time I saw her, she was writing her
memoirs." He replies in a slightly joking tone.
"Okay, thank you." She says, then heads for our room.
I'm still writing, when --
"Hey, Deu-chan! How are you?"
I look up, and close the book I was writing in. This way, I could
give her my full attention.
She looks at me, and asks, "May I come in?"
I smile and say, "Of course!" I walk toward her.
We go into each other's arms and embrace lovingly.
She looks at me, and says, "My Deu-chan."
I answer, "My beloved Hitomi-koi."
