Pairing/Characters: Miriallia Haww/ Yzak Juole
Rating: PG
Disclaimer/claimer: I do not own Gundam Seed or any related characters. I call this 25 things a sweet guy would do even though the original list is 26 things. This is in a huge part because number 26 is quit smoking, chewing, drinking, or drugs just because he loves you enough to quit! And we all know that Yzak doesn’t smoke, chew, drink, or do drugs. This is also AU. There are no Coordinators, only geniuses, and they are all still in school.
Summary: What would Yzak do for Miriallia? We’re about to find out.
Class had started nearly five minutes ago, yet in that short amount of time Yzak had become extremely bored. It wasn’t his fault he was a genius and his classes didn’t challenge him enough. Slowly he fingered the list before him, checking off how many he had done.
1. Know how to make you smile when you are down.
Although it wasn’t in his normal abilities, he had somehow made Miriallia Haww laugh. And that felt good. But, he didn’t get why. He didn’t get why he liked the quiet little mousy girl that his best friend was in love with. All he knew was that he did and had long since decided to do something about it.
2. Try to secretly smell your hair BUT you always notice.
He leaned over, just barely, to get a nice big nose full of the strawberry vanilla shampoo she used. It didn’t help that she always smelled so nice. He had never met a girl who smelled anything like she did. And, it made him smirk when he saw the smile on her face. She knew that he was smelling her hair.
3. Stick up for you but still be respectful of your independence.
A guy was being mean to her. Not just mean, but cruel. He was commenting on her dead boyfriend. How stupid he was since he had died in a car accident because he let a drunk driver take him home. “Leave her alone.” Yzak growled, glaring at the guy. Instantly the guy backed off. Yes, Yzak was a genius. But, that didn’t mean that he didn’t have a bit of a reputation for fighting. His friends always seemed to get in fights with the normal jock type kids.
4. Give you the remote control during the game.
“Hey, Miri, pass the chips, will you?” It was Dearka. He had invited her to one of their Monday night games and currently there were about ten guys packed into the single living room. And then there was Miri.
“You can change the channel, if you want.” Even though the guys had turned to stare at him, Yzak held his ground and handed her the remote. But, she just smiled and shook her head.
“I wouldn’t have come if I didn’t like football.” He forgot that her boyfriend had played before he died.
5. Come up behind you, put his arms around you, squeeze you tightly against his chest, and whisper softly into your ear
She was crying. Again. It was in the middle of a normal class period, so no one was in the halls. For a few seconds he hesitated before wrapping his arms around the girl and whispering, “Don’t cry. Everything will be all right.”
6. Play with your hair.
He reached out unconsciously and grabbed a strand of her silky brown hair, flipping it through his fingers. When her eyes turned to meet his, he expected a glare but instead got a grin before turning around and resuming listening to the lecture.
7. His hands will always find yours.
There were a few moments hesitation when he was in class. She was sitting in the table across from him, her hand hanging down limply. For a few seconds, he just watched it. Then, slowly, he reached his own hand out and held hers. Although she didn’t look at him, he could see her blush.
8. Be cute when he really wants something.
This one was difficult… perhaps even impossible. He tried his best to look cute, but each time he failed… miserably. It was only when Miriallia said, “You’re kind of cute when you get all flustered,” and handed him his dropped pencil did he think that he had succeeded.
9. Offer you plenty of massages.
He blushed. They were sitting there, at the beach and he couldn’t think of anything to say. “Miriallia.” She turned her attention to him. “Want…” Her eyes looked so expectant. A date he wanted to say, but instead it came out, “A massage?”
She smiled, “No. Thanks, though. Athrun looks like he needs one, though.” He knew she was testing him. So, with no other choice, he gave Athrun a massage. The other boy just looked at him in a strange mixture of shock and disgust.
10. Dance with you even if he feels like a dork.
They were at a school dance. He didn’t want to go, but he knew that he had to because Miriallia would be there. He didn’t even like to dance. But he had to admit that she looked cute in her new little yellow dress. But, for some reason she was standing alone in a corner, just looking at the couples on the floor. The song from Flashdance, What A Feeling came on… he shuddered. But, he knew what he had to do. He made his way over to her, “Do you… um… want to dance?” His face was red.
She shrugged, “Sure.” He hated the fact that it was so hilarious to watch him dance. But even through her laughter, Miriallia still managed to dance with him. And she kept on dancing with him the entire night.
11. Never run out of love.
This was a hard one. He sent her a small note, anonymous (which he learned was entirely possible when handed from person to person in class) with, ‘LOVE ALWAYS,’ printed in huge letters across it. She looked around the classroom and her eyes finally came to rest on him. He tried to play it cool, like he didn’t know what she was looking at, but in the end turned a deep shade of red. She just smiled in return.
12. Be funny, but knows when to be serious.
Lately he had been able to make her laugh more and more often. It pleased him for reasons he didn’t want to go into. But, when he saw her crying after making a bad joke about her now-dead boyfriend, he clamped up. “Sorry.” He put an arm around her shoulder and tried his best to comfort her, ignoring the looks their classmates were giving them. He was a jerk and felt that the gods should smite him where he stood.
13. Realize he's being funny when he needs to be serious.
“Come on, this project is serious,” her face was bright red and he knew that she was wondering what had brought on this horror called ‘joking Yzak.’ In truth, he felt that he had been hanging around this weirdo in his class, Dearka too much.
“Your mom needs to be serious.”
“Yzak, you’re being a jerk.”
“Your mom was a jerk… in bed.”
Her face was getting redder and redder with anger, but he just couldn’t stop, “I’m going home. Leave me alone.”
“Tell your mom to leave me alone… OK, OK, I’m sorry.” He wanted to laugh for some strange reason. And Yzak Joule did not laugh.
“Just stop with the mom jokes.”
“Fine.”
14. Be patient when you take forever to get ready.
He had finally done it. He had asked her out on a date… sort of. So, he had said something along the lines of, ‘Dearka wants to know if you want to go to the movies with us,’ but it was practically asking her out. Almost. Not exactly. Plus, for just going to the movies, she was taking an extremely long time. And it was making him angry. After waiting a half hour in a chair in her living room, he called, “Are you almost ready?” He wondered why he had to be the one to pick her up.
“Hey.” She was at the doorway looking more beautiful than he had ever seen her. “Stop being a butt head and lets get to the movie.”
15. React so cutely when you hit him and it actually hurts.
Gym class. Officially not his favorite class. They were playing his ‘favorite’ game. Volleyball. Miriallia was on the opposing team. And she had spiked it. Right into his face. “Are you alright?”
He clutched his nose. His face went red. His eyes were teary. But he sucked it up like any man would. “I’m fine.”
16. Smile a lot.
People were becoming afraid of him. Not that they weren’t already. He had taken to smiling a lot in the halls, just in case he saw Miri. He couldn’t help it. Ever since she complimented him on his wonderful smile, he smiled a lot more. It was even starting to scare Dearka.
17. Plan a romantic date full of cheesy things he wouldn't normally do just because he knows it means a lot to you.
“Hey, do you want to go out?” He couldn’t believe that he actually got the nerve up to ask her out. And now he felt kind of foolish. He greeted her at the door with a rose. He took her to a romantic little Italian restaurant where he proceeded to spill spaghetti sauce all over. He suggested a romantic walk through the park and slipped into mud. But, it was worth it. Because she asked him out when it was all over.
18. Appreciate you.
For a few seconds he did nothing but stare at her before he grabbed her books out of her hands. “What are you doing?”
“You’ve been busy being on the student council. I’m helping you.”
Miriallia wasn’t quite sure whether he was or not, but she allowed him to carry her books and lead her to her next class.
19. Help others out.
It really wasn’t in his nature, but the girls who were working in the library were having trouble loading the books onto a cart and distributing them to various classrooms. So, he decided to help. And he was lucky that word got around that he actually helped someone with no personal gain for himself. Miriallia seemed extremely proud of him. It made him happy.
20. Drive 5 hours just to see you for 1.
She was spending her summer with her aunt in Osaka. In order to get to Osaka, he would have to drive a half hour to the train station, then ride that for another two hours, then wait around for a ride for an hour, then finally make his way to see her for a short amount of time. It was all worth it when he saw the smile on her face. Her aunt just gave him this strange knowing look.
21. Always give you a peck on the cheek when you depart from each other's company- even when friends are watching.
For once he wasn’t trying to get her attention. Or, at least not directly. Instead, she was hanging out with his friends, talking to Dearka and Nicol and Athrun (who wasn’t really his friend). She laughed and smiled and would glance at him at times, but he never really got the meaning of that. So, when she began to walk away he had a decision to make. Blushing, he called out, “Miriallia,” and planted a kiss on her cheek. Dearka catcalled them (even though it wasn’t anything big) and now Miriallia was blushing too, “I’ll see you later.”
“Yeah. Later.”
22. Sing even if he can't.
He was driving her to her house. A song came on the radio. Bohemian Rhapsody. For a split second he stared at the radio. His eye began to twitch. His hands began to tighten their grip on the steering wheel. Miriallia began to sing. She was horrible. Truly, she was nothing like Kira Yamato’s girlfriend, Lacus Clyne (whom he’d had a crush on before he had one on Miriallia). But, that was ok, because he couldn’t sing either. So, they sang in their own special blend of the unharmonious.
23. Have a creative sense of humor.
He really did not have a creative sense of humor. He tried. He failed. But, that was the point. He tried. Truly, he played some pretty creative jokes on people, but it just didn’t seem like him. They were all weird. Miriallia forgave him for that when he told her that she would have to do without him having a creative sense of humor. Instead she said, “I have more than enough for the both of us.” A wicked smile played on her lips.
24. Stare at you.
This was actually the first thing that he had ever done. In fact, he had done it before he had even thought he had a crush on her. He would stare at her during lunch, his eyes would somehow find her at lunch, and he would watch her out of the corner of his eyes at the game. She once confronted him about being a stalker. He didn’t mind. It meant that he had gotten her attention.
25. Call for no reason
“Hello?”
Her voice was sweet to his ears. He found himself blushing. “Hi.”
For a few seconds there was silence, “Erm… who is this?”
“Oh, Yzak.”
“… was there something you wanted?”
“Nope… I mean yes… I mean.”
He could hear her laughing at the other end, “Did you forget your homework assignment?”
He could tell that she was trying to supply him with an excuse for calling. “Nope.”
The silence was hot and stuffy. But neither of them hung up. For ten minutes they both just breathed into their phones before he finally asked, “Do you want to go out sometime?”
“I thought you’d never ask.”
If he hadn’t done them all, he had at least tried. Satisfied, he sat back in his chair and leaned over towards Miriallia, staring at her out of the corner of his eyes. He got a good sniff of her hair and smiled. He could also see the smile forming on her face as she glanced at his list, then back at him. Blushing, he grinned and shrugged before opening a book and beginning to read. His girlfriend was awesome for putting up with him.
