Hey, Shiftry-Chan speaking!

I know most people use the "_" in second person POV stories, but I think they're tacky, so I'm using the name "Akari Fujiwara" instead. Some quick info about her. She has a boy dog named Waya and a younger brother named Naraku. I know that I put Waya in Regal's but I don't think I added in Naraku at all. I can guarentee Akari coming up again in the future.

I admit, this collection of short stories isn't my best work, but I hope you will still enjoy them :)

They aren't in chronological order at all, so you can read whatever ones you want. This one is Lloyd's, the others I included are Genis, Zelos, Regal, Emil and Richter.


"Akari, I'm sorry I had to make you worry." Tears were cascading down your face as you suddenly jerked you head around.

"L-Lloyd! I-Is that y-you, Lloyd? LLOYD! TELL ME YOU DIDN'T DO ANY OF THE THINGS THEY SAY YOU'RE DOING!"

"Akari, I care about you so much, but even to you, I'll have to leave that question unanswered. This is something I can't quite explain…"

"Lloyd…why do we even have this silly boyfriend/girlfriend status if we can't even exchanged information like this?"

"A-Akari? Dating Lloyd? You should've told me!" Marta squealed.

"What the hell are you doing dating a worthless murderer like Lloyd?"

"Marta and Emil, would you both be quiet? I can explain everything later. Right now, I want to know. Lloyd, did you murder all those people in Palmacosta? You should know that I don't go around dating murderers. I know we're not boyfriend/girlfriend anymore, but-"

"Akari, please don't say that" Lloyd begged. You just looked at Lloyd shocked.

"What makes you say that? I asked you if you murdered people in the way you most despise, but you refuse to answer me? What the hell happened to you Lloyd?"

"Akari, there are things that I can say, and there are things I can't say. But among the things I can say, one of them is 'I love you'. And I really do mean it" You blushed.

"Lloyd?" Before you knew it, you were out cold. When you came to, you were lying on a sandy shore and it was dark out. You gazed up into the sky and noticed multiple stars blinking in the sky. At that moment, you completely forgot that you had no idea how you got there and what had happened to Lloyd, Tenebrae, Marta, and Emil. "The stars…they're so beautiful" you said, captivated by the stars. You looked down from the sky only to find a sparkling diamond ring placed in front of you. Lloyd was down on one knee. You gasped. "Oh Lloyd, what is going through that head of yours?"

"Just marry me," he said. He sounded annoyed. You figured it was because you were lying unconscious and he had to wait until you regained consciousness.

"Look Lloyd. I'm not going to just marry you. If I ask you a question, and you ref-" Lloyd caught you off guard by kissing you. You pushed him off.

"I didn't do that. You should know that! Who do you think I am?" You laughed. You walked up to him and gave him a big hug. You looked up at him afterward.

"Aw, Lloyd! How can I stay mad at you? I love you Lloyd. I'll become Mrs. Akari Irving, but just for you" You said, teasing him.
