Thank you for reading and replying to chapter 1! 
NOTE: Hilde and Duo did not meet during the Eve Wars! They don?t know each other
Air Hostess Chapter 2
By dragon agility
Hilde handed her luggage to the flight baggage attendant and walked up the stairs. As she entered the shuttle, she smelt the familiar aroma of the leather seat. She watched as Jaycee ran up the stairs and nearly tripped over the top step. Hilde laughed as Jaycee entered the shuttle as if nothing had happened.
?Nobody saw a thing,? said Jaycee through her gritted teeth.
Hilde nodded sarcastically and then turned to talk to a passenger who needed assistance.
?Hilde, you?ve been given middle-back for safety.?
Hilde grabbed an oxygen mask and a leaflet from the supply cupboard, ?Better than the front!? She proceeded up the aisle unaware of a pair of violet eyes watching her intently.
Duo watched as she walked towards him. Her walk caused a natural sway of her hips. He couldn?t stop staring at her: he was sketched on his brain. As she stopped a couple of rows in front of him he watched hypnotically as she dusted herself off. The pilot started to talk, but that was nowhere near Duo?s attention span. He watched as the air hostess made the safety movements and demonstrated them to perfection. Duo noticed that she kept glancing in his direction so he smiled as he continued to watch her.
As Hilde neared her position in the aisle, her eyes rested on a guy around her age watching her intently. She quickly looked away to begin her safety movements. She could feel his eyes on her every move, as if they burned holes through her delicate skin. She looked again. Their eyes met briefly before she looked away again. He had intense cobalt blue eyes that seemed to illuminate his whole face. She had also noticed that he had the longest braid she had ever seen: he had been fiddling with it.
She smiled to herself as she continued the safety movements. She liked men with longish hair, she couldn?t get her hands in it if it as too short. His hair was so long and for some unknown reason, she willed to touch it. There weren?t many men that usually caught her eyes on the shuttle flights. She looked again. He was smiling and staring intently. She felt heat rise to her cheeks as she turned around to demonstrate the emergency exits. His smile was gorgeous, and cheeky. She had to look again, so she did when she turned around, pointing to the cabinets above the passengers? heads. Something jolted in her memory.
?I recognise him,? she thought, ?I?ve seen that face before.?
But she couldn?t place where she?d seen it. As she finished her safety movements and walked back to the front of the shuttle, she let it go. It?s come to her eventually.
Was he still looking at her? She had the urge to look back, but she resisted.
?Maybe I should ask what his name is?? she thought as she replaced the oxygen mask. She was interested in him, ?But then he might end up being one of those weak ?I follow what other people do instead of following my own path? jerks??
Jaycee nodded to her and they walked up the aisle to the back of the shuttle for takeoff. As she walked past him, she felt unsure of what to do. He winked at her seductively, his eyes passionate and a broad smile on his face. She blinked and walked on, disappearing into the back.
Duo turned and watched as she disappeared. He moved his head to try and catch a glimpse, but he couldn?t see her. The guy next to him laughed, ?You?re stuck up on her. Must be your lucky day!?
Duo nodded, ?You don?t know how lucky.?
He couldn?t believe that she was on the same shuttle flight as him! At least he could get to know her name now.
?And more,? he thought, ?this flight is going to be interesting??
He heard whirring and gripped the handles of the seats. He watched as the sky was blue, then grey, then black and littered with stars as if someone had splattered dust over a black canvas.
Hilde smiled as the atmosphere was suddenly littered with stars. She had always loved the stars, and that was one of the reasons she had joined Oz during the war of AC195. She knew that joining Oz had been a mistake, as it hadn?t been the path she had wanted to take; but she had never regretted it. Battles had to be fought and the stars had inspired her to join. Many kids at 15 had been fighting during the war.
She gasped and Jaycee turned to her, ?If you?ve forgotten something, it?s too late to go back!?
Hilde smiled and Jaycee asked, ?What?s up??
?I knew I had seen his face before!?
Jaycee looked at her puzzled, ?Whose face??
Hilde looked to the flashing board in front of her. The light had gone out, meaning it was safe to stand. She unbuckled herself and Jaycee and dragged her friend to the aisle, ?The one sitting two rows down with the long brown braid.?
Jaycee peered around the corner, pushing her brown hair out of her eyes. She saw a braid, but she couldn?t see his face, ?Do you recognise him from somewhere??
Hilde nodded, peering around the corner and keeping her voice low, ?He?s one of the Gundam Pilots from the Eve Wars, the pilot of the Deathscythe.?
Jaycee gasped and look to Hilde, ?You sure?!?
Hilde nodded, ?I think he?s cute. He kept staring at me during the demonstration and he winked seductively at me too??
Jaycee looked ecstatic and hugged Hilde, ?Go for him girl! It?s been a while since you had a decent gut in your life!?
Hilde blushed and looked at the back of his head again, ?I dunno Jaycee??
Jaycee sighed in frustration, ?Well?do you know his name??
Hilde shook her head and Jaycee smiled, ?We serve refreshments in twenty. You can talk to him then.?
~*~*~*~*~
Duo leaned back in his chair, unfastening his buckle as the sign blinked off. He picked up his paper once more for anything good to read. There wasn?t that much to read. He looked out of the window and remembered how much he hated flying in shuttles. He needed something to occupy his mind. He could look at the hostess, but she was still at the back. He could look at her anytime. He put the paper down and something on the back caught his eye.
?Hm?? he thought, ?the Colony Gundam Quiz.?
Duo smiled. There was a different quiz everyday and they were the hardest quizzes in existence. But for him, this quiz on the Gundams would be easy. Then all he?d do is send the completed one in under a false name and collect the ?5000. Extra cash was always good. And it would keep his occupied until she came back.
Duo looked around his seat for a pen, but there wasn?t one. He stretched up and pressed a small button, making his light above his seat flash. A male hostess from the cockpit started to walk towards him but stopped short. Duo wondered why when suddenly, a girl appeared beside him and he turned towards her.
Petite frame, nice skin, blue eyes and dark blue hair. It could only be her. His heart leapt; something that hadn?t happened before. Duo could smell her sweet perfume. It was lavender.
She smiled. She had seen this opportunity to talk to him and she took it, ?Hi?how may I help you??
?Yeah,? he thought, ?come back to mine and I?ll show you what I need.?
He was snapped back to reality, ?Yeah, Miss?? he glanced at her name tag, ??Miss. Hilde.?
Her name had a nice ring to it. She smiled and her eyes sparkled even more.
Duo said, ?Do you have a pen, babe??
Her eyes widened slightly and Duo mentally kicked himself, ?Great Duo. Shouldn?t have used the pet name. Now she?s gonna call the macho superior to beat me up?not that he?ll win though??
She bit her lip slightly and smiled, ?Sure.?
She walked to the back, Duo?s eyes on her form. He was impressed with himself and with her. She returned and gave him the pen. His braid was over his shoulder, and she felt like reaching for it. She didn?t though.
?Thanks.?
Duo expected her to walk away, but she stayed for a moment as if in a trance. He smirked, ?Is there anything I can do for you??
She snapped out of her trance, blushing slightly, ?Umm??
?I must look so stupid,? she thought.
?She looks cute when her face is all hot and flustered,? he thought.
She continued, ??What?s your name??
A small tint of pink rose to her face, her cheeks rosy.
Duo smiled, ?Some call me the God of Death, but you can call me Duo. Duo Maxwell.?
She smiled, ?Call me Hilde Schbeiker.?
Duo nodded, ?I will do.?
She lingered for a moment before smiling and leaving him to return to the back. As she rounded the corner, she breathed deeply. He seemed nice, she thought, and a charmer too. She wanted to know more about him. At first, she hadn?t been sure; but now, she didn?t mind getting to know him better.
Duo leaned back against his chair, her sweet perfume still invading his thoughts.
?Man, she?s sure something!? he said. The guy next to him laughed, after hearing every word.
Duo looked down the plane where the other girls were situated at the front. He wasn?t interested in them anymore, but on Hilde. She couldn?t seem to compare to them.
?Excuse me??
Duo looked to the source of the voice. It was the little kid on the other side of the row. His voice was sweet.
?Yeah?? Duo answered.
?Urr??
Duo smiled. He loved kids: they reminded him of when he was young and reckless and just how fragile and strong they could be. He wanted kids when he was a little older, and he would raise them just as the church had raised him: with kindness and love.
?Go on, kid, you can ask me. I?m a friendly guy.?
The kid grinned, showing his cute gappy teeth, ?Why is your hair so long? Are you afraid of the ?cutting man???
Duo smirked kindly. He was afraid of the hairdressers: no one came near him with a pair of scissors without them experiencing pain. He loved his hair. It had gone through a lot with him.
?I?ve never cut it.?
The kid smiled, ?Cool!? and looked away.
Duo grinned.
He was unaware that Hilde had witnessed the whole thing. She had listened from the back, her head poking around the corner. He was only two rows from the back. She sighed. He seemed so nice and friendly. She jerked her head back when Jaycee called.
?Hey! Stop drooling and help me with this cart. It?s refreshments time!?
Hilde frowned but helped, as it was her duty. They removed their jackets and berets. Just before they were Jaycee was about to pull it and Hilde was about to push it, Jaycee stopped.
?So, what?s his name then??
?Duo.?
Jaycee smiled and hushed a voice a little, ?Are you sure he?s that ex-Gundam pilot??
Hilde nodded, ?Definitely.?
Jaycee looked at her friend slyly, ?Well if he was a Gundam Pilot, he?s got skill and stamina?if you know what I mean!?
Hilde flushed, ?Jaycee! Will you quit it? I barely know the guy and you?re talking about assets!?
She smirked, ?Yeah, well?you know you want him!?
Hilde was about to bite back when Jaycee began to yank the cart down the aisle, pulling her with it. She straightened herself and walked down the aisle, pushing the cart.
They wheeled it all the way to the front. Duo peered down the aisle as Hilde walked past, ?Nice ass.?
He watched as she began to serve drinks, smiling and being very chatty. Her personality just shone through.
?You like her, don?t you??
Duo turned to the guy beside him and shrugged, ?Well?yeah. She seems really nice. That uniform she?s wearing is so hot! I can?t stop staring at her. She?s sure putting on an awesome show!?
He turned to admire her sweet face before putting pen to quiz.
