Things We Do For Love

Caelus remembers feeling alone. Sure, March and Dan Heng were besides him when he first woke up. They were beside him when fighting against the monsters in the space station. But he never felt like being a part of the group.

When he joined the Astral Express, everyone was accepting. They were all happy to see him join. Heck, they even threw him a welcome party. He still remembers the cake. It was... tasteful. But it's the thought that counts. But he never truly felt as a part of the group. They all had experiences that they joked and told stories about. But him? He's a blank slate. The only memory he has is of Kafka talking to him.

He always thought that he would always feel this way. A loner, never part of something. Yet, something has changed. A change that he never expected. A change that started at his very first trailblaze mission. Jarilo-VI, a planet that at first look is devoid of life. Yet it is on this planet that he finally became a part of something. Something great.

It all started when they first stepped inside Belobog. The city was full of life, despite their current situation. They were offered by the Supreme Guardian, Cocolia, a room in a hotel(he didn't really listen). And as they reached their destination, he found them. The love of his life. The solution to his loneliness. The most beautiful being in the whole universe. He could feel his whole world shift around as he stood there and stared. And before he could stop himself, he took a step. And another. Until he was standing there, face to face with them.

He could faintly hear March's shouting in the background. But he will not listen. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. He must not lose this. He braced himself and jumped.

"Eww, get out of the dumpster Caelus" March scowled as she watched Caelus hug the trash bags in the dumpster. She tried to reach for him but stopped. Oh the smell, how can Caelus stand that?

She whined and looked expectantly at Dan Heng, hoping he could read her mind. He sighed and covered his nose.

"Come on Caelus, lets get you out of there" March smiled triumphantly as Dan Heng proceeded to carry Caelus to the hotel. Finally, she just wants to rest her feet and play.

(They get arrested the next day. Caelus could hear March scream that it's his dumpster diving that got them there. He thinks they're just against true love).

So yeah I wrote a thing. Its also on AO3 here
