Hey Guys. So I'm not new to this sight but as a writer I am. I seriously think this fandom needs more lurvvvveeee. And so this bad piece of literature was born! Looking for criticism. Don't be shy. (Italicized is flashback)

Yuuki Koizumi

'Yuuki Koizumi…Peaceful Little Spring huh.' Soma snorted. 'Right, see how long that'll last.'

Leaning against the desk, Soma waited for his next mission dispatch when he caught sight of Fenrir's first Far East New-Type. Silently observing the rookie, the God Eater thought, 'Well, they definitely got the little part right. Seriously, how tall is that kid? 5'3? Whatever, not like it matters-'

Honey eyes caught his blue ones. Soma scowled. 'Why's he looking at me?...Why's he smiling? Over-friendly rookie. He'll die in a week.'

…..

"Hey! Hey Yuuki! Take this mission with me man! The reward is killer! It's got one of those Borg Camlanns and a Hanuman monkey thing. You can take those out quick right? I'll take out the ogretails around yeah? Cool!"

Yuuki brushed aside ashy bangs to reveal gentle, honey colored eyes. Sighing he said, "Sure Taichu. Are you sure though? Tsubaki doesn't think you're ready for missions over rank 3-

The newest Fenrir God Eater interrupted his superior flippantly, "Nah it'll be fine if she knows I'm with you. C'mon I wanna see how I'll do against real ogretails alone while you handle the big guys." He smiled brightly.

Yuuki sighed good naturedly. Smiling ruefully he was about to agree when a heavy hand landed on his shoulder. "No," a deep voice answered for him. Startled Yuuki turned to his right to meet the jaw line of Soma Shicksal. His blue eyes were glaciers in their coldness.

The rookie was stunned by his sudden appearance but recovered quickly, urging for a changed mind, "Aw c'mon. It's no big deal, should be easy for Leader right? A-and he'll have me with him so-

A tan hand tightened on a small shoulder.

"I said no," Soma answered darkly.

The recruit sputtered but then bravely rebutted, "Shouldn't that be his decision. And he's your superior so you can't tell him what to do!"

Soma stepped forward. With his imposing height and frigid eyes he stared down the newbie. "And what exactly do you think I am?" Taichu gulped. "I'm your superior. You're not going anywhere with Yuuki. That's an order." Soma's expression didn't change but his voice dipped into a threatening timber.

The recruit squawked. Soma smirked, took a step closer, ready to intimidate the brat into goo. A pale hand reached out and held onto his arm, holding him back. A soft voice behind him admonished gently, "Soma."

"What," he bit back.

"He didn't mean any disrespect. He's just eager."

"He's not eager, he's stupid. He wants to practice on ogretails, he can go on a mission taking out just ogretails."

"He can't go on solo missions yet-

"Then he can go in a simulation-

"A simulation and the real thing are too different-

"Then he should stick to his level with his unit-

"It'll be fine, he's with me-

"While you take on charged Borg Camlanns and Hanumans just so he can get to a few ogretails."

Yuuki grinned and asked softly, "How did you know it was a charged Borg Camlann?"

Soma's frown deepened. He took out a ball of crumpled paper from his pocket and handed it to Yuuki. The slender male unfolded the wrinkled paper. Yuuki suddenly laughed quietly, amused. "Then is it alright if he comes with us?" At Soma's expression Yuuki quickly added, "He's light on his feet and cautious." Shoving his hands in his pockets, Soma nodded his head briskly and walked away, miffed.

Yuuki smiled at the forgotten, bewildered recruit then handed the crumpled mission dispatch to him. "15 minutes preparation, then we're heading out." Taichu, feeling somewhat cowed by the absent older God Eater, nodded meekly. The First Unit Leader laid a supportive hand on Taichu. "Don't worry; Soma is the best person to be going on a mission with. He's very protective."

'I can see that,' Taichu thought to himself. Yuuki began walking away to prepare himself while talking over his shoulder, "Come prepared. Make sure to grab blaze bullets. They'll come in handy."

….

On the helicopter leaving the City of Mercy, the three weary God Eaters sat in companionable silence. Yuuki turned to the buster blade wielder beside him. "Soma," he called, knowing the helicopter would mask their voices.

Soma grunted in response. Yuuki smiled easily, "Thank you for worrying over me."

Silence greeted him. Yuuki straightened in his seat somewhat dismayed. As minutes went by he heard the shifting of cloth. An elbow bumped his. Yuuki grinned.
