Gundam 00: Alle/Marie Headcanons

[ninthfeather]

 I hear it was sapphireswimming’s birthday recently, so here’s some headcanons for her favorite Gundam 00 pairing (mostly fluff, with bits of angst):

 

When they’re kids in the Institute, they spend hours just trying to convey things besides words through their quantum brainwave connection.  Allelujah tries to remind Marie of what sensation and movement feel like, while Marie tries to share the faith she feels…and occasionally the lack of sensation, when the Institute’s tests get too awful.

 

A few of the SSI scientists who are human somewhere under all of the layers of “following orders” think that they’re cute, and work out ways to make sure that Alle and Marie’s budding friendship never gets too much attention from the higher-ups.  It makes them feel slightly less guilty about everything else.

 

Allelujah and Marie are pretty much constantly together in their down time during the weeks after Marie first comes aboard Ptolemaios.  Actually, they get a little too wrapped up in just being together and Alle forgets about explaining a lot of what Marie should know about Celestial Being, which causes some confusion for Marie.

 

Most of CB thinks that they’re adorable, but the most dedicated supporters are Milena and Ms. Sumeragi–the ship’s resident romantic and Allelujah’s surrogate older sister.  They’ve been known to run interference for Allelujah and Marie when they’re trying to have time alone. 

 

After the war ends, when they’re travelling the world, they are mistaken for a married couple in the very first hostel they visit.  Allelujah blushes and sputters.  Marie very calmly answers “Yes, this is our honeymoon.”  It takes an incredible number of incidents like this for Allelujah to realize she might be dropping hints.
