Characters: Lloyd, Colette

Rating/Warnings: K; mentions of Zelloyd.


"Hey, Lloyd?"

A drifting, lilting voice; curiously sweet with a bitter pang woven into the aftertaste.

"Yeah, Colette?"

"I... Why do you... Why Zelos?"

An eyebrow lifts, a brow creases. There is no answering voice for a long moment, and both figures sit in utter silence. Breathing is not permitted.

"Colette, I'm sorry."

"N-no, it's fine, I just... I still..."

A sturdy arm reaches out and settles gently on quaking shoulders, brushing soft blonde hair aside. They do not face the other; words are exchanged in hushed, hummingbird voices, flitting out between their knotted tongues and tight lips.

"...I love him."
