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."
