He woke with a start. His breath quick and shuddered, sweat crawled over every inch of him. He was alive. 'Alive?' He touched his chest, arms and face to make sure he could feel. 'What happened?' Fear crept into his mind, 'what happened?' He looked around the darkness trying to find an explanation, everything was still and normal. His school books lay in a heap on the floor, covered by his clothes from last night and her clothes. 'Where is she?' It was then that he noticed the breathing warmth beside him. 'Had it been a dream?' He touched her bare back, tracing his fingers along the indent from her spine.

She awoke; her large eyes looked back into his, "Mmm, feeling frisky again?" Agua asked, arching her back to his cold touch. Her chest pressed tighter into his mattress and her lower half rose slightly.

"Damn it," Terra muttered, he turned away, hoping to hide his erection. 'I can't get hard from looking at Agua; she's almost like my sister.' He blushed, and yet she twisted around, her bare breasts inviting him to come closer. 'What happened last night?' Terra inched closer to her before he realized what he was doing, like a gravitational pull brought his mouth to her skin. He kissed her neck, feeling the soft skin in between his open lips. His teeth grazed her slightly and she sighed, he bit her lightly, testing to see what she would allow. 'No!' he stopped and backed away. "I can't…" his words drifted off.

Her brow furrowed, "What's wrong, my love?" She sat up and tried to comfort him. But he moved away at her touch. He picked up his pants from the ground and pulled them on without a word. Terra left his own room and shut the door. 'What happened?' He asked himself again

His feet found their own way to the staircase; he went down a flight and into the kitchen. Ventus was at the counter, slouching as he ate his breakfast. "Hey Terra, do you know where Aqua is? She isn't in her room…" He said and put a spoonful of cereal in his mouth.

Before he could think of a cleaver lie, the words all spilled out of his mouth, "She's in my room." Terra closed his mouth and clenched his jaw, hoping Ven wouldn't notice anything weird about that.

"Oh, did she ever find that thing last night? I know she was searching for something, and when she went to your room, her search seemed to stop."

"She found… a thing, I don't know if it was what she was looking for." Terra walked to the fridge and opened it.

"Jesus man, you have battle wounds on your back!" Ventus rushed over to Terra and traced the apparent claw marks. Ven pieced it all together, "Oh…um, well… I should probably go train." He left the kitchen, leaving his cereal bowl on the counter.

Terra sighed, and closed the fridge before he could pick something to eat. His stomach growled in protest and he opened the door again. He reached into the egg carton and took out two of the ovals. The pan had been left on the burner, probably from Master Eraqus. The stove clicked as he turned on the burner, and the pan sizzled as he sprayed the anti-stick spray. He cracked both eggs in the pan and stepped away. The bread was on top of the microwave, in a wooden box. As the bread toasted, he flipped each egg and waited for it to cook before he put cheese on them.

Two hands wrapped around his waist, and he felt the warmth of a body against his back. He jumped a little, and the hands dropped. "What's wrong with you? Ever since this morning you've been acting very strange…" Aqua breathed, trying to meet his gaze.

He looked away, and finally at her, "What… exactly happened last night?" Terra whispered, barely audible.

A puzzled look crossed her face, "You're joking right?" then seeing that he wasn't, "Well, I came in looking for my notebook, and you more or less threw me to your bed… and then we had sex." She sounded surprised, as if she herself didn't really believe it happened. "How can you not remember that?" She was offended.

"Of course I remember," He lied, "I just wanted to hear it from your lips." He took her by the waist and drew her body to his. His lips pressed against hers for an instant. He turned and shut off the burner to the stove. He slid one egg on a slice of bread and handed it to her silently, then took one for himself. He realized that he couldn't ask Aqua what had happened to his memory, he would see is Master Eraqus had an answer.

Aqua's eyes never left Terra, and he felt it the whole time. He tried to focus on eating, so she wouldn't think that something was wrong. "So, Terra… I realize that you want to keep this whole ordeal quiet, and I've been thinking about that as well."

"I do? Oh yes, It would make the most sense if we didn't talk about it to anyone." Terra took another bite and waited for her to say something more.

"Well, I think I agree with you, we should probably keep it away from everyone, and just see each other in the night." Aqua fidgeted with his fingers, as if to say she didn't really feel that way. Terra could see her lack of faith in that statement.

"I don't know, I've been thinking about it too, and I guess it's better to be out about it now rather than later. Ventus already saw the scratch marks you neglected to tell me about when I left my room this morning.

"I thought you knew they were there… I mean, I did scratch you pretty hard… What was wrong with you this morning? Did I do something wrong?" Aqua's head tilted down, almost in shame.

He lifted her chin, "Not at all, but nothing gets in between me and food," they both laughed at that. He took her hand, "You're cold." He smiled and pressed her hand to his chest. "Let me warm you up."

"I think I know a better way to get warm." Aqua leaned in and kissed him, placing her hand on his thigh. Terra flinched from the unexpected advance. 'but then again, we did have sex, so this should be nothing to her,' He kissed her back, and slid his tongue in her mouth.

"Ah-hem," Ventus cleared his throat loudly upon entering. "Look guys, If you're relationship is going to fuck up our team, then just quit it. Seriously, Terra, you said you were going to keep away from the public display of affection shit." He took his cereal bowl off the counter and put it in the sink. Turning the facet on he continued, "I told you that I'm okay with this, but you both know what would happen if things went sour, so just keep it away from Master Eraqus for now." He walked out of the kitchen with loud angry footsteps.

"So you did talk it over with Ventus?" Aqua asked, removing her hand from his thigh.

"I guess I did, it must have slipped my mind when I looked into your beautiful eyes." Terra said, 'What bullshit, will she actually believe something so stupid?' She blushed. 'It worked?'

"Let's go back to your bed." She said, tracing her finger down his arm.
