Honestly, any time spent with Axel always has deep meaning. Even as friends, Axel always provided the best memories for Sunny.
HOWEVER
Her favorite memory is the time she was finally able to tell the world that Axel and her were together. She had loved Axel for a while before she had confessed her feelings, and even after they got together, they kept things on the down-low because they technically “worked together” and weren’t sure how well it would be received.
But when it did happen, it was kind of a natural thing. The women’s feelings for each other just kind of spilled out, and they rolled with it.
Sunshine thinks about it often.
At least once a week, honestly.
~It happened during movie night on Base.~
There is actually a fantastic fic written about said event, too!
I am not the owner or writer of said fic, so unfortunately I am unable to post it for y'all to read. I will ask the author if they are willing to post it because it’s super cute and fills my heart with so much joy every time I read it 💖🥰

Wake Up Call
After Axel and Sunshine had 'retired' from their positions with the mercenary group, the women found a nice house out in the middle of nowhere to live away from the craziness of society.
Small farm. Horses. Honeybees. A sad garden that Sunshine religiously killed off.
The good life.
Axel had her own garage in town that she worked at a few days a week - just to keep herself busy and to keep her mechanic skills up to par.
Sunny stayed home and cared for the animals, did the household chores, and tortured loved that poor garden.
Axel had taken a few months off to really relax before she had decided to buy her garage. This meant that Sunshine was used to her morning cuddles.
So, when Axel started getting up at the ass crack of dawn to get ready, and Sunshine woke up next to a cold bed, she was a sad, sad girl.
"Axel, why don't you wake me up in the morning, when you get up for work?" Sunshine asked as they were climbing into bed together one night.
"Sunshine. I love you. I'm not waking you up before the *actual* sun shines through those windows."
"But… I love you too, and I want to get up with you," Sunshine pouted, giving Axel unintentional puppy dog eyes.
"Don't give me that look," the mechanic said with a quirked brow, a smile playing at the corner of her mouth as she slid into the bed next to the blonde. "And I want you to get enough sleep, love. Before you get up and care for our home. Besides. I've never left without giving you a kiss," she told her Sunshine.
Sunny sighed in frustration but also knew she wouldn't be any different if the tables were turned.
A couple of weeks went by and Sunny was still pouting.
She wanted to see Axel off to work. She wanted to have breakfast with her.
She wanted to reciprocate that kiss in the morning before Axel left for the day.
So, being the little shit she was, Sunny set the alarm on her watch and wore it to bed that night.
The first time was a bust. She got up at 630 to find Axel had already drank her coffee, eaten her breakfast, and was currently getting ready in the bathroom.
"Geez, Axel…" complained Sunshine as she shuffled into the bathroom, scaring the life out of the poor mechanic.
"SUNSHINE!" Axel squawked with a startled jump. "What are you doing up?!"
Sunshine pointed to the toilet.
"Ah. Let me step out, for you," she acknowledged, kissing Sunny on her way out the door.
Sunshine grabbed Axel's shirt to give her a few more pecks. "What time do you even get up?" She asked, her kisses getting increasingly longer.
Axel answered without giving it a second thought. "5:15" Sunny's kisses were a bit needier than pecks, if we're being honest. They had Axel's brain in a fog.
"Before God. You get up before God," Sunny sassed, pulling a snicker from the other woman.
"Which is why I don't wake you up," Axel replied, poking Sunny in the stomach. "Now use the bathroom and go back to sleep, angel. Before the devil comes after you and those kisses."
Sunshine smiled into one more kiss, but did as Axel requested.
That night Sunshine reset her alarm. And was very excited.
It was 4:15am.
Gross.
How do people live like this? Thought the blonde as she snuck out of bed and down to the kitchen.
But! This was worth it. Axel was worth it.
Sunny finished her little shenanigans in the kitchen and made it back to bed by 5am. She laid in bed quietly with a smirk on her face.
15 minutes later, she heard the tiny beeps of Axel's tactical watch.
Axel sighed and looked over at the sleeping blonde next to her. What she wouldn't give for another ten minutes to cuddle her.
As she went to get out of bed, she felt a hand grab her arm. She turned with a surprised look to see Sunshine, eyes wide, silently pleading for her to stay.
How was she supposed to resist that face?
Axel smiled and slunk back under the covers, as Sunshine grinned and yanked the mechanic impossibly close.
"Ten minutes," Axel said with a chuckle as Sunshine let out a quiet squeal of delight.
Axel laid next to Sunshine, basking in her warmth as the blonde dragged her blunt nails through the undercut of her hair.
"I know what you're doing, Sunshine," Axel snickered through a warning.
"Is it working?" Sunshine smiled, dragging those delicious nails down Axel's neck, making her shiver.
"Yes. And I have to get ready for work," she told the blonde, burying her face in Sunshine's neck and nipping the soft skin.
"But!" Sunshine complained.
"But?! It's already 5:45!" Axel laughed, as Sunny pulled her back to her lips. “I was only supposed to be here for ten minutes!”
Sunshine let out a mischievous giggle, "I know. But you don't have to worry. Your breakfast is in the warmed oven. The coffee is brewed, and your lunch is packed and in the fridge," the blonde told her, nuzzling her nose, and making Axel chase her lips for another kiss.
"God, I love you," Axel whispered.
"I love you too. And you can just stick with calling me Sunshine," She winked.
