#BRING BACK MY BEAUTIFUL JAEGER PILOT WIFE

[lilacyennefer]

Forever is a long time

Anon asked:  “8) “I just wanna lay in your arms for the rest of my life.” With Raleigh Becket please ❤️

A/N: Raleigh Becket, my baby, my sunshine, my hubby, and my comfort character, who I love more than anything. I really love writing for Raleigh and I really loved writing this, so I only can hope that you guys will love it as much as I do. Raleigh really does mean so much to me so I tried to perfect this as much as I could, and I only can hope that I succeeded.

WARNINGS: none, it’s a bit melancholic in some places, but it’s mostly fluff

It’s not easy to carry the burden of saving the whole world on your back, knowing that billions of lives are depending on you and Raleigh. 

But it’s over now, you saved the world with your drift partner, Raleigh, and after many, many tests, both of you were okay. 

But the trauma you went through doesn’t go away quickly, you know it will take years, and you’re not even sure that it will disappear. 

The only reason why you haven’t gone completely mad yet is that you have Raleigh, someone who shared the same experiences with, and most importantly, your mind. 

Once you have been in someone’s head, there isn’t much to talk about. But it’s okay, you think. The comfortable silence you share with Raleigh is better than anything, knowing that you have him, and he has you.

Because that’s the truth, even though you know each other for a few weeks, your minds and hearts are connected, you’ve became one. 

Ghost drifting is an interesting experience, you’re no longer connected to a Jaeger, to a machine, to connect your minds, but somehow your minds still find a way to connect, share memories again, and current thoughts, hopes, and dreams.

Because both you and Raleigh have hopes, and maybe dreams now, that you got your future back. And of course, it’s with each other. Both of you are dreaming of a future where you’re together, and you’re finally happy, and you don’t have to worry about monsters coming from the sea to destroy you and your world. 

And this is what you’re doing right now, laying in bed with Raleigh, silently, thinking about your future with him. You don’t have to tell him what you’re thinking, your minds are connected again, so he knows every thought running through your mind, every memory, every feeling, and you know his. You don’t know yet where you will go after the Shatterdome closes for good, none of you have a home, nor family, but you have each other. 

You have each other, in each other’s arms. 

With your ear pressed to Raleigh’s chest, you can hear his steady heartbeat thumping against you, your head rises every time he breathes.

He’s here, safe. 

You try to push away the memory of you hugging Raleigh’s body, thinking he’s gone, and you lost him too. But then he finally breathed “You're squeezing me too hard.” against your neck, and the euphoria you felt when his words finally reached your brain, telling you that he's here, with you, and he’s fine. 

You forever will be connected to him, with your minds, and heart.

You feel Raleigh hug you closer, pulling you even closer to himself if it’s possible, since your bodies are already pressed together.

“I know.” is all what Raleigh whispers against your hair, breathing your scent in, allowing it to fill his lungs and relax his entire body, and soul. 

“I just wanna lay in your arms for the rest of my life.” you whisper against his chest, placing a soft skin on his clothed muscles. 

“You will. We have all the time in the world.” Raleigh told you.

And it was the truth. You had a lifetime to spend with each other, and so you did.

After the closing of the Shatterdome, Raleigh and you moved to a small town in Alaska. That’s where he was from, and he wanted to go back, so you agreed. It’s not like you had anywhere else to go, but even if you did, you’d have followed Raleigh anywhere.

You belonged to him.

You belonged together. 

So you bought a small cottage house in a small town in Alaska, close to the sea what Raleigh was insisting on. You didn’t have to ask why, you knew it already, you knew from memories, not yours, that your house is looking at the same beach where Raleigh landed with the Jaeger alone, after he just lost his brother, Yancy. 

The house was small, but really lovely. It didn’t have any other houses nearby, it was pretty far from the city, but not too far, and the beach was close, plus you had your own garden which Raleigh loved. He kept himself busy in the garden, he grew his own vegetables, which he was really proud of, and loved to cook with them. 

And you loved Raleigh’s cooking, oh you really did. You loved to sit in the kitchen with Raleigh while he was cooking, talking with him about anything and everything, and you loved to eat everything he cooked, because to your surprise, he was a good cook. 

Your garden also had a shed, in which Raleigh spent a lot of time in, he was still struggling with his insomnia, so you often woke up to an empty bed at nights, and without looking, you knew he was in the garden, doing whatever he did.

You didn’t ask, and you didn’t want to. It’s not like you had any secrets from each other, not after you’ve been in each other’s heads several times, it was more about giving each other some privacy, and complete trust. 

On your birthday, you woke up to an empty bed again, but you could smell some amazing scents coming from downstairs, you knew that Raleigh was preparing your favorite breakfast for you, and you waited for it in the bed. You didn’t have to wait long until Raleigh appeared in the bedroom with a tray, your favorite breakfast and a cup of tea on it, with a beautiful rose in a vase in the middle. 

“Happy birthday, my love.” Raleigh smiled as he sat down on the bed next to you, putting the tray in your lap.

“Thank you.” you give him a sweet, lingering kiss.

After breakfast he wanted to show you your birthday gift, so he led you downstairs, outside to the porch, his hand covering your eyes the whole time. 

“Open your eyes.” you hear Raleigh’s voice close to your ear.

When you opened your eyes, you gasped. 

There was a swing bed hanging from the ceiling of your porch, made by Raleigh himself. 

“Do you like it?” Raleigh asks nervously, and you turn towards him, tears in your eyes.

“Raleigh, are you kidding? I love it so much, thank you!” you wrap your arms tightly around Raleigh’s neck, hugging him close to you.  

“I saw in your memories how much you love these things. So I built you one.” you feel your tears fall from his words.

“No one ever did something so beautiful for me.” you sob into his neck, and you feel Raleigh’s arms tighten around you.

“I have one more surprise for you.” he whispers and kisses your forehead before he pulls away from you. 

Raleigh cupped your face in his hands, they were rough from the months of wood work, but you loved it. 

“After losing my brother, Yancy, I felt so lost. I didn’t have anyone, and nothing made sense. I was alive, but I wasn’t living, I was sitting in self pity, and I felt miserable, and lost hope. Until I met you. When we were in the Kwoon, fighting, and felt our minds connect for the first time, without any machines, it was just us. I knew it. I knew we were something special, and after we piloted Gipsy Danger for the first time, and we really had our minds connected, it was confirmed. I started feeling hopeful again, even though the world was ending, I felt somehow happy that I found you, and we could spend our last few days with each other. But we saved the world, and you saved me. And I’m forever grateful for that.” You see Raleigh pull a small, velvet box out of his back pocket before he kneel down in front of you. “Would you make me even happier, and become my wife?”

You were fully crying by the time Raleigh asked THE question, all you could do is nod furiously.

“Please, say it.” Raleigh asked you with a desperate voice and hopeful eyes.

“Yes! Yes, Raleigh, of course!!” you don’t even wait for him to put the ring on your finger, you jumped into his neck, sobbing. 

Your wedding was small, it was only you and Raleigh at the town hall, none of you mind it, but both of you wished your loved ones would be here. But it wasn’t possible. 

Years passed, and you made this small house your home with Raleigh. You expanded your little family first with a black, stray kitten Raleigh has found one day, you immediately adopted him. The kitten adored Raleigh, and Raleigh adored the kitten, he followed Raleigh everywhere, and he was always sitting with him in the kitchen when he was cooking, watching Raleigh’s moves.

The two of you went into the town more often, actually you made friends, and everyone knew who the two of you were.

Heroes. 

Heroes who saved the world. 

You were mainly friends with families with young children, but the kids didn’t know who the two of you are.

And that’s good like this, you thought. And Raleigh agreed. 

They were too young to remember the horrors of a Kaiju feared world, and their parents didn’t talk to them about it. 

And that’s okay. It’s over now. 

Many nights spent with little kids lead Raleigh and you to the decision that you should have a baby on your own. In any other circumstances, you’d have never brought this up, but you have a future now. 

A little over a year after you and Raleigh started trying, your son, Yancy was born. Deciding the name was easy, although Raleigh was too shy to bring it up first, but he didn’t have to, you told him you wanted to name your son after his brother. Raleigh cried when you told him this, making you cry too, but he happily agreed. 

Raleigh was a partner in your pregnancy as much as he could, he helped you in everything. 

This wasn’t different when it came to giving birth, he was by your side the whole time, helping your son to the world. 

When Raleigh held his son in his hands for the first time, he cried, and promised the boy that he will protect him no matter what, and he forever will keep him safe. 

And he did. 

As the years passed, Raleigh was an amazing father, and you an amazing mother. 

Years turned into decades, you grew older and older with Raleigh by your side, your son grew up, and he got married. A few years after his wedding, his first child, a little girl, was born.

Your grandchild. 

Raleigh and you were grandparents now, and the world was still safe, thanks to you.

A/N: I only realised after several readings that I, by accident, gave Raleigh a black cat and made the cat watch him while he cookc, which is exactly what Charlie has talked about in an interview when he said his black cat always watches him cook. This is just me rambling about how he really lives in my head rent free.

Ok but like

Im just??? Pacific Rim Uprising was a TRIP man and I for the life of me can not NOT stop thinking about it still....

Could it have been a better sequel?? Hell fucking yeah it could have been

Could there have been better and MORE characterization besides a few characters who DID in the end of the movie?? Definetly yep

Could they have better played it out the plot if not rushed to screening and obvs messy rushing for EVERYTHING to be in there for lore?? Absolutely

But sadly uprising is what we got and I have obvs mixed feelings BECAUSE of said....

A LOOOTTT could have gone better for this movie but I will say this

Pacific Rim Uprising still had that interesting quirkiness and FEEL of a fighting giant monsters movie.

Did the first movie play it out better?? Maybe and tbh there was still quit a bit of messy lore here and there with the kaiju even with the first movie and DONT you lie to me about that yall, you know Im on the dot about it in that sense.

BUT!!!

For all for TRYING to go for a sequel in the first place for a movie tHAT HAD A PRETTY SOLID ENDING IN THE FIRST, Im happy they tried to expand the lore, the Kaiju, *glares at deknight* SOME characters arcs and ofc the jaegers!!!

Jake and makos sibling interaction, Jake and nates *god bless the ice cream scene*, Newts and Hermanns sadly placed "we could have had it all" interactions, baiscally probably canon gay and bi characters *coughs* With a side of ploy relationships *cOUGHS* aND fucking??? remixing the main music AND the old jaegers??!!!

I could at least tell that DeKnight and many others had really INTERESTING takes on the pacific rim world and lore than just the fandom. YES THERE ARE SOME PLOT HOLES WITH THAT SAID TOO BUT!!

Sequels never turn out the best part of a 3 piece movie structure sometimes.

Oh there are PLENTY of them that ABSOLUTELY HAVE and have made me proud to this day, BELIEVE ME!!

Buuutt some do fall flat on their fucking faces no matter how hard they TRIED to be more out there, more main stream and more anything??? If that makes sense??

Basically everyone on here has a valid point on why uprising was basically a really good AND a really bad movie. Now tbh Im really hoping we get an interesting and amazing 3rd movie in the end to CUT UP those lose ends we have now thanks to uprising in the somewhat plot pr DOES have still.

I WANT RESOLUTION DAMMIT!

I WANT MORE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!

I JUST WANT MORE OF WHAT BOTH THE FIRST AND SECOND MOVIE HAVE INTO ONE THIRD ONE THAT WILL MAKE THIS SERIES END ON A POSITIVE NOTE!!!

And so far, from Guillermo at least producing to DeKnight being very open with loyal fans and even fucking shippers *like holy shit who knew??* of the fandom ideas, I think were gonna have just that. I really think they all will take what they can from these reviews and fans WHO REALLY FUCKING CARE ABOUT THE PR WORLD AND LORE and reeeaallyy try to see what they can make to be the better movie in the end.

I HAVE A LOT OF FAITH WITH MOVIE NUMBER 3 NOW SO PLS DONT DISAPPOINT DEKNIGHT MY DUDE!! Please try to pull through as much as you can so you can show everyone in the end that uprising was just a luke-warm start.

Movie 3 is gonna be the real kicker and I honestly cant wait!! 😜😜😜
