        She  doesn’t  mean  to  stare.  In  fact,  she’s  largely  unaware  she’s  doing  it.  Her  face  is  a  blank  canvas;  except  for  the  eyes,  which—as  always—seem  to  give  her  away.    Melfina  is  lost  in  her  thoughts,  the  pinch  of  her  brows  evidence  that,  whatever  is  on  her  mind,  is  obviously  troubling  her,  yet  she  can’t  quite  bring  herself  to  voice  her  thoughts,  unsure  how  to  articulate  what  she’s  thinking.  Or  if  she  even  wants  to.

        Her  heartbeat  thundered  in  her  ears  as  her  feet  pounded  against  the  pavement.  Melfina  frantically  looked  over  her  shoulder  to  see  if  she  was  still  being  followed,  and  though  she  didn’t  see  anyone  just  yet,  she  knew  they  were  on  her  heels.  Pirates,  they’d  called  themselves.  She  didn’t  know  what  they  wanted  with  her  or  why  they  were  chasing  her—in  fact,  Melfina  didn’t  know  a  lot  of  anything.  All  she  knew  was  that  the  feeling  in  her  gut  told  her  not  to  trust  them,  that  they  had  bad  intentions,  and  so  she’d  done  the  only  thing  she  could  think  of.  She  ran.  

        Casting  a  look  over  her  shoulder  again,  she  missed  someone  stepping  out  into  the  street.  She  turned  back  around  just  in  time  to  smack  right  into  them,  sending  her  flying  backwards  on  her  heels  with  a  cry  of  shock.  Whoever  they  were,  they  were  sturdy  enough  that  it  felt  as  though  she’d  run  right  into  a  brick  wall.  Her  thoughts  swam  and  it  took  her  a  second  to  regain  her  bearings.  ❝I-I’m  sorry!❞  she  says,  mildly  distracted  as  her  eyes  scan  the  area  in  a  panic.  Where  was  she  going  to  go?  She  couldn’t  outrun  them  forever.  

        It’s  only  then  she  finally  gets  a  good  look  at  who  she’d  run  into.  Tall,  blond,  a  pauldron  strapped  over  one  shoulder.  She  could  see  a  large  blade  jutting  out  from  behind  him  over  the  other  shoulder.  Was  he  some  kind  of  fighter?  Melfina  didn’t  have  long  to  think  about  it,  ❝Please—I  need  your  help!❞  She  could  only  hope  this  stranger  was  the  noble  sort.  ❝I-I’m  being  followed;  I  don’t  know  where  to  go!❞

KAS MADE ME A NEW THEME TO MATCH GENE’S AAAAAAAAAAAA

[leylinesought]

.·:*°you taught me the courage

of stars before you left

how light carries on endlessly

even after death

with shortness of breath

i’ll explain the infinite

how rare and beautiful it truly is

that we exist°*:·.

        Starwind  &  Hawking  was  quiet,  for  once.  In  a  very  fortunate  turn  of  events,  there’d  been  a  decent  bounty  put  up  for  a  group  of  up-and-coming  pirates.  Jim  had  been  all  too  eager  to  take  on  the  job,  having  spent  the  last  three  days  badgering  Gene  about  their  debts,  and  so  he’d  dragged  the  older  male  along  with  him  out  the  door,  promising  Melfina  they’d  be  back  later  with  a  reward  to  show  for  it.  

That  had  been  about  three  hours  ago  and  there  still  hadn’t  been  any  word  from  either  Jim  or  Gene—but  Melfina  wasn’t  too  concerned.  She  knew  the  boys  could  handle  themselves,  and  if  things  got  sticky,  well,  she  was  certain  Gene  would  come  up  with  some  hair-brained  scheme  to  get  out  of  it.  At  least,  that’s  what  she  told  herself.  

        In  the  meantime  though,  she’d  set  about  tidying  up  the  place.  Despite  the  fact  that  Jim  had  pressed  she  wasn’t  their  maid  and  didn’t  need  to  go  to  such  lengths,  Melfina  enjoyed  the  job—it  made  her  feel  useful  beyond  just  navigating  the  Outlaw  Star;  made  her  feel…  more  human.  After  she’d  finished  cleaning  up  the  kitchen,  she  set  her  towel  down  and  turned  to  Aeris.  

        Aeris  had  been  the  newest  addition  to  their  entourage,  and  Melfina  was  thrilled  to  have  another  girl  around.  Much  as  she  loved  Gene  and  Jim’s  company,  and  was  forever  grateful  to  both  of  them  for  promising  to  help  her  figure  out  her  past,  there  was  just  something  nice  about  having  another    female  around.  Someone  she  could  relate  to  more—at  least,  she  tried  to.

        ❝Say—what  do  you  think  about  going  to  explore  the  city?  This  is  your  first  time  visiting  another  planet,  right?  There’s  bound  to  be  lots  you’ll  want  to  see.❞

        She  had  a  bag  of  groceries  tucked  under  one  arm  and  the  other  extended  towards  Chibi  Chibi,  holding  the  toddler  by  the  hand.  On  their  quest  for  the  Galactic  Leyline,  they’d  made  a  stop  on  Heifong  to  re-supply,  make  repairs  and  recuperate  before  they  drifted  off  again  towards  their  next  destination.  Melfina  hadn’t  lost  hope  yet  that  Gene  would  find  the  answers  she  was  looking  for  about  the  Leyline,  and  what  it  had  to  do  with  her—what  it  had  to  do  with  who  she  was—but  it’d  be  a  lie  to  say  she  wasn’t  beginning  to  show  concern  that  maybe  Gene  wouldn’t  be  able  to  keep  his  promise,  not  because  she  didn’t  trust  him;  but  because  perhaps  there  was  simply  nothing  for  them  to  find.  

        This  melancholic  mood  must  have  bled  through  her  expression,  because  a  moment  later,  Melfina  felt  a  tug  on  her  hand.  She  glanced  down  at  the  toddler,  forcing  a  smile  that  didn’t  quite  reach  her  eyes.  

        ❝Thank  you  for  coming  with  me,❞  Melfina  squeezed  her  little  hand  tight.  ❝With  how  busy  things  have  been  lately,  we’ve  been  running  low  on  food.  Do  you  like  your  lollipop?❞  Of  course,  Melfina  hadn’t  failed  to  buy  Chibi  Chibi  something  sweet—Gene  had  made  it  pretty  clear  the  toddler  had  decimated  their  sugar  supply.

                      YOU’LL BELIEVE GOD IS A WOMAN.

No, seriously. She might be God. Melfina is a Bio-Android and the Navigation System for the spacecraft XGP 15A-II, also known as the Outlaw Star. Don’t let her sweet demeanour fool you though–she has a powerful connection to the Galactic Leyline, making it possible for her to grant the wishes and desires of those who seek out the Leyline. This makes Melfina a highly sought-after and coveted asset. If you’re interested in following a MELFINA from the 1998 anime OUTLAW STAR, then please  ♡ or  ↺ this post !!

CONTENT WARNING: Due to the nature of Outlaw Star, this blog is intended for an 18+ audience only. Subjects featured on this blog include, but are not limited to, ALCOHOLISM, PTSD, SEX, VIOLENCE, MENTAL/EMOTIONAL ABUSE, and GORE.

She draws him closer, eyes half-lidded and terribly fond. Melfina isn't so shy anymore. She knows who she is, what her purpose is. So maybe it isn't so surprising that she takes matters into her own hands, drawing up on her tiptoes until they're centimetres apart. When she speaks, it isn't a question. It isn't laced with uncertainty. She smiles; a soft, teasing gesture. "---吻我。"

          Watching Melfina had been like watching a flower bloom.

          She’d been so small, so unsure of herself, often curling inward whenever she felt insecure or lacked the answer to a question.  She’d always curled away and Gene had found himself positioning himself around her, shielding her, while she tried her hardest to stand in the sunlight and grow.  Getting the answers to her identity, her memories, her purpose—it had done wonders for her, as if she’d suddenly exploded into shape and colour, blossoming before his very eyes.  With every passing day she became more sure of herself, more secure in her identity, more playful and teasing.  Her smile was genuine, growing wider and wider with every rising of the sun on the horizon, her laughter more breathtaking with each setting of the moon.

          He’s so proud of her.  So proud of who she’s become, who she will be, of what she’s done for herself.  He’d promised he would find out who she was, answer all of her questions for her, and the end result is so dazzling that Gene has trouble looking at her most days.  She shimmers in the sunlight, her smile bright enough to strike him blind, her eyes filled with mirth and joy and everything he’d ever wanted for her.  Seeing the confidence in her stride, the steel in her spine, the laughter painted on her lips like fine rouge…  Gene feels like she’s every bit deserving of the butterfly imagery the Leyline had attributed to her.  She’d changed completely, from caterpillar to butterfly—a stunning metamorphosis of the heart.

          She was always beautiful, but Gene has never been more in love with her than he is in this exact moment.

          His arms move on instinct to cradle her smaller form to his chest, chin tilting down in immediate compliance as she wraps her own arms around his shoulders and lifts onto the tips of her toes.  When she stops just shy of kissing him, her whisper dancing across his lips and her mouth a mere breath away from his own, a soft and wholly genuine smile twists his lips.  His heart aches in his chest, a soft feeling that leaves him breathless as he gazes down at the woman in his arms—the only woman he ever wants in them again.  The only woman in his heart.

          ❛  Say it again…  ❜      Fondness laces his words, his eyes half-lidded as he murmurs against her lips, a ghost of a kiss passing between them.  He knows what she’s asking for, knows exactly what she wants from him, but he’s never thought any language could be as sexually charged as Melfina seems capable of making her words seem.  Keeping one arm wound around her waist and tugging her ever closer to him, Gene’s other hand reaches up to entangle his fingers in her hair at the base of her neck, angling her head up so that he can brush the skin of his lips against her own with another whisper.

          ❛                               say it again. ❜
