Neil Dylandy - Tieria Erde Fanfiction

Warnings: Shounen-Ai (PG-13) / No Spoilers

Neil sat on the edge of his bed. Tonight as usual Tieria clings to him, circling his pale, slender arms around Neil's shoulder. Burying his face to Neil's back. "You feeling okay, Tieria?" Neil asked that futile question again. Tieria doesn't answer, as Neil expected. His arms shifted a bit, and Neil can feel his warm breath on his back skin. Neil sighs inwardly. He has his own problems, and now they are all enough to give him headache and an evil urge to end this all. But the heaviness of Tieria's gestures concerns him. He feels Tieria's heart. Neil thinks, "life sucks eh?" deep down, and starts to sing softly, sways side to side with Tieria clings to him from behind. A dog barks outside their apartment when Tieria realizes that Neil stops singing. He sleeps in Tieria's arms. A curve of sad smile formed on Tieria's lips as he buries his face on Neil's shoulder.

Dylandy

A Tieria Erde Fanfiction

Warnings: PG-13 / Heed Author's Notes

Author's Notes: Tieria's thoughts about Lockon Stratos a.k.a Neil Dylandy, a prologue to season 2 of Gundam 00. It is somewhat pointless to argue if their relationship is "just a friend" one or "romantic" one, and please note i don't have any intention to debate about that. Just enjoy this fic~


Even when he is alone like this in front of that tombstone, he never called that man's real name. Neither does Feldt, neither does Setsuna, neither do all crews of CB, although he's absolutely sure that everyone now knows that man's real name after his sudden death. Tieria Erde again lets out heavy sigh with a "Lockon Stratos" on it. In fact Tieria doesn't know why he can't even say "Neil Dylandy". He just feel that that name is some random stranger's name. While this man, whose dead body probably still floating in space, is Lockon Stratos. The one who pulled him out from inhumanity, the one who was very dear to him as comrade and mentor, the one who saved his life.... and the one who died as a human. If he still his old self, probably he will curse Lockon's death as "foolish", "selfish" and "unfit to be a gundam meister". But he just can't. Because he realises now that he IS also human, thanks to this ever chirpy and friendly Lockon Stratos. Tieria put the large bouquet of blue roses in front of the tombstone, and walks away solemnly. A bitter smile curved in his lips as the rain pours silently to the graveyard. He IS a human. He still remembers his own very line on the last fierce battle 4 years ago, few days after Lockon's death. Tieira is a man of intergrity and faithful with his ideals. But at that point he wished very dearly to go to Lockon's place. Even after he was rescued, deep down in his heart he regretted staying alive. Suicidal thinking was never listed in his dictionary. But even now, he sometimes unconsciously still want to see Lockon Stratos once again. Tieria muttered, "Lockon Stratos, I'm a human afterall," and he smiles, ".... But I have no regrets of being a human..."

Of Undefined Love and Realizing It

Lockon Stratos - Tieria Erde (Lockon's POV)

Warnings: PG - 13 / Spoilers for Season 1 Episode 23

I regained my consciousness just now, thanks to a pretty disturbing "I'm sorry" that is repeated again and again. I know the owner of that trembling voice... the cute Tieria Erde, my fellow Gundam meister. But that's good I woke up. I don't want to stay in this eerie hospital wing, sleep comfortably in this silly pair of slippers. Yuck. Give my denim back please...

Old man Moreno just finished with his regular check up, and as usual I showered everyone with light jokes. Quite succesfull to make them relax a bit, eh? It's me who has to be panic. Good God... my dominant sniper eye. But yeah, the pretty, fairy-like Gundam meister is not around! What is he doing? Angsting? Wow, that's not really Tieria. Well, about that accident... I must admit that I don't understand what did I do. I saw him got blank in a wrong moment. And I just jumped there... and let out a pained scream when blood covered half of my face... What did I do really...

And now, by thunder, I'm searching for Tieria in every nook and corner of Ptolemaios. What is it? Why I'm really focused on him now, while Setsuna and Alle also need a friend? A feeling of responsibility as a team leader because it seems that I know him the most? Feeling that I need to keep him company because other meisters and crews are not in a good term with him, thanks to his beyond imagination strict attitude? Feeling that I need to calm him down because he blames himself too much for this accident? I don't know really... Tieria is just a man-made ro... ah, Haro is also robot, but this orange ball is my best friend! ...Oops. Am I that lonely? Hahaha, who cares. I hope Haro wasn't melting there. I miss him~~

Ah! There he is, with his pink grandma cardigan~! Find ya, Erde! ...Yeah, what am I doing again... But I need to, for whatever reason. I don't even think I need a reason now. I hate complicated things above all. Just do it... Yosh~ I smile to myself, ready to say hi...

Becoming Human

Lockon Stratos - Tieria Erde (Tieria's POV)

Warnings: Shounen-Ai / Spoilers for Season 1 Episode 23

'Access Denied!'

Those two words kept repeating as I tried to access Veda. I decided to be stubborn and tried once more.

'Level 1, Clear.'

'Level 2, Clear.'

~flashback~ "Tieria!", Lockon cried out as he jumped in front of me, receiving the attack in my place. Why? Why did he do that? I didn't even---

'Access Denied!'

Why Veda? Why are you rejecting me?

Confused, I decided to cool my head in the briefing room. Veda is my sanctuary, a shell that protected me. A place where I felt at home and secure. It kept me from others, it was all I needed, it was all I wanted. That's what I thought until he came and pulled me out of that shell. I've never been more like a human my entire life.

~flashback~ "Tieria!", he kept calling for me. "What's wrong, Tieria?!", I hear him but I was too conceited and only thought of my sufferings. A loud explosion and I saw Dynames drifting away, lifeless.

It's my fault, it's all my fault. It hurts, my chest is painful, why? My eyes are warm and my cheeks are wet, why? I feel cold, why?

I keep shaking my head. I only know one thing. He saved me, now, it's my turn to protect him.

"Tieria Erde, please stand-by on Virtue."
"Roger."
