"The two of us will be together again. That time will surely come..." ~From the Filipino song "Maghihintay (Will Wait)" by Gabbi Garcia and Christian Bautista

Waiting was something that Hammie wasn't sure if she could do for a long time. There always seemed to be a certain duration when it comes to her waiting time that would frustrate her sometimes.
In any case, it wasn't something she was quite fond of whatever she does. And yet she couldn't understsnd the reason why she was able to do it because of a certain someone.
Looking at the view of the space from the Orion's bridge was enough to calm Hammie for a while. It was something that had been helping her when she really needed to sleep but couldn't think of something to calm herself down. Of course, everyone needed it. But in her case, it was something she was deprived of.
It had been a week since Stinger and Champ set off on a journey to hunt down Scorpio. Though she was quite aware of Stinger's skills as a warrior, that didn't ease her worries at all.
A sigh escaped her lips and looked out the window of the Orion's bridge once again. As she took out her Chameleon Kyutama from her pocket and looked at it quite intently, her mind was only uttering a prayer in hopes of letting it reach her comrades currently in a dangerous journey. But more importantly, she was praying for the safety of the man that never left her mind all this time.
"You'll come back safe and alive... Right?" she uttered with a bitter chuckle soon after.
What was she thinking? It wasn't like her to be this pessimistic. And yet...

Somewhere on Earth, Stinger couldn't help staring at the night sky. He was fascinated by the fact that even though the planet was already under the Jark Matter's rule, it seemed that it didn't stop nature from showing its beauty that he, and even the other Kyurangers, knew was one reason why the place was something worth liberating.
The stars alone had already proved it.
Though the reason why he was staring at the night sky wasn't only because of the stars, but also because of Hammie. Taking out his Sasori Kyutama from his pocket and stared at it for a while, it seemed that he wanted to convey his thoughts for that certain woman through it.
Of course, he knew it won't be conveyed that easily just through the Kyutama. But something told him that doing so was enough. He was aware of the danger his self-imposed mission could bring to him and Champ. But he had to settle everything about his past if he wanted to move forward and continue his role as a Kyuranger, as one of the chosen saviors of the universe.
He could only achieve that if he was able to do that task. He wanted to find the closure that he needed.
For Hammie's sake, as well.
One more look at the night sky strengthened his resolve. Yes, Stinger couldn't see the Orion from there where he knew Hammie was currently staying. But the shining stars alone was his proof of that. Weird thing for him to think of, and yet it still felt right for some reason.
"I'll come back... I promise..."
And it was a promise that he firmly uttered with Hammie in his mind, most of the time.
Now that wasn't a bad thing, right? If it was for her, then he got no complaints.

There you go.
Now I think this one turned out to be simpler than the other two Stinger/Hammie one-shots I wrote. Not much romance, as well. Or maybe none at all. But I'm still glad I wrote this one.
Okay? Happy reading, everyone!
