No True Pair 「Gundam 00; Ribbons/Tieria」
Original No True Pair post can be found here.
Title: A(ware)ness
Rated: PG
Warnings: An AU/speculative ending type of thing. And something of a gen-fic… *shifty eyes*
Fandom: Gundam 00
Prompt: Ribbons Almark and Tieria Erde: handcuffs/prison scenario
Spoilers: Post-series, with definite spoilers as to certain characters’ fates.
Pairings/Characters: Um. No pairings, really. But Tieria Erde x Ribbons Almark, in a certain sense.
Summary: Ribbons refused to fade away into the void of nothingness. Tieria would allow his limited survival, but only until the last vestiges of him could be destroyed utterly.
Author's Notes: There is a severe lack of sexy for a prompt based upon kink. But. Well. I kind of like the verbal battles between Ribbons and Tieria, and consider them a type of porn all their own. In a sense.
Disclaimer: All things Gundam 00 belong to Sunrise and Bandai, with major props to Kouga Yun-sensei for the beautiful character designs. Grassy only lays claim to the plot.
“Tieria, you really are quite similar to Regene, aren’t you.”
Ribbons’s words, a statement of fact, were deceptively smooth. Even if Tieria hadn’t sensed the amusement that gave Ribbons’s voice weight, Veda would have. The fact that Ribbons said such a thing at all indicated his smug sense of delight. But Tieria didn’t plan on giving the man what he wanted.
“Yes, actually, I am. We’re of the same type, after all.” Tieria ignored the twist of Ribbons’s lips, as well as what the green-haired bastard had truly meant.
“Hmm… Regardless of how dissimilar your personalities initially appear, the two of you really are more alike than our fellow Innovators and their counterparts.”
Tieria frowned at him, but had long since stopped correcting Ribbons’s use of the incorrect term.
“Well, perhaps not Bring and Devine.” Sharp flash of a smile. “But they were something of a special case.”
“…” Despite having control of Veda and all areas within, Tieria ignored the urge to search out that particular information. It seemed to Tieria that Ribbons Almark was the one entirely too much like Regene Regetta. The more annoying parts, at least.
“Anew chose the feminine weakness that Revive despised in her. And Hilling… Well. She was loyal, at least.”
“Oh? Then she truly was different from you.”
Ribbons smiled blandly. “There need only be one Ribbons Almark.”
“There need not even be that.” Were he anyone else, Tieria would have gloried in the downward twist of Ribbons’s lips. Instead there was only a vague feeling of amusement.
“You will not keep me imprisoned here forever.”
“I have no plans to.” Tieria’s smile was a bright, vicious thing. “Every day you become less and less who you were. The only reason you have lasted this long is because I’m thorough.”
Ribbons abandoned his composed façade, sneering at Tieria with all of the hatred still within his imprisoned consciousness. “I refuse. Ever will I remain a part of Veda.”
Smile smoothing back into an emotionless expression, Tieria faded from Ribbons’s view with one final parting shot.
“We shall see then, Ribbons Almark, just who the real winner of this game truly is.”
Were either of them corporeal, Ribbons would have happily ripped the tongue from Tieria’s mouth for the superior tone of those words. He would show that- that traitor who wished to be human just who had won.
Soon. Very soon.
The End
