Hark! I'm going to try a couple of serious LoD fics now. Here for your amusement is a Lloyd/Albert slash. This takes place in Gloriano in disc three.
'The nerve! Leaving me behind!' I was fuming. The other Dragoons had left me in the cave in Gloriano. Why on earth would they leave me behind?
I kicked a loose rock across the floor and heard, instead of a clicking, a groan.
"Uhnn... Wha? Ow..." The deep voice could only belong to one person.
"Lloyd!" I exclaimed. The last person I wanted to be stranded with and here he was.
"Good morning?" Lloyd asked sleepily. He ran a hand through his silver hair and sat up looking at me. "Albert? Where's everyone else?"
His armor was layed aside and his chest was bare but for the form fitting vest he always wore. It highlighted his pecs so well-
What am I thiking?! Dear Soa, Lavitz was killed by this-this- monster! How can I be thinking about his muscle definition?!
"Albert?" Lloyd was looking up from replacing his armor now. "Are you alright?"
"Fine." I'm not used to curt responses. I'm also not used to being in the same room as my lover's killer.
"No you aren't." He went back to his armor. "I killed him and I'm not sorry. In all fairness, he was trying to kill me-"
I don't know what came over me. I lunged at him. He was caught off guard, but with my bare hands, I wasn't doing much damage. Once he got himself together, I was easily thrown off.
"Now is that behaviour fit for a king?" He smirked. I'd have liked right then to wipe the smirk off his face but merely glowered at him.
"Oh come on. I'm not trying to egg you on. We obviously need each others help to get out of here. I know this place inside and out and you know your friends. We're going to have to find them, because I have the divine moon objects." Lloyd's calmness was starting to infect me and annoy me.
'Ah well, revenge is best served cold.'
"Look Albert, are you coming or are you just going to wallow in self pity?" Lloyd was standing at the entrance to the cave.

"Footprints! These are definitely Kongol's. Hard to miss those." Lloyd was talking to himself. I refused to talk to him period.
"Aren't you going to make yourself useful?" He asked. "We've found footprints and you still won't talk to me?"
I stayed silent.
"Alright then, just so long as you follow along. I wouldn't want to leave you behind..." He trailed off. He was aiming for an outburst of anger and I knew it.
"I hate you." My words were calm and measured. He got the message and stayed quiet for a bit. We marched on, following the footprints.
**********************************************
"Well that's strange... why do they end here?" Lloyd was a little ahead and looking at where the trail seemed to end. I caught up quickly, trying to quell the alternating anger and despair.
"They went down there." Again my sentence was even and cold. I looked over and wondered just how they could have done it.
"That makes sense! So you do have a use!" Lloyd clapped me on the back. I jumped foward and realized there was no ground left to support me.
I fell and slid down side of the mountain. It was almost exilirating and for a few seconds, I forgot why I was there.
I landed heavily in the snow at the bottom causing a flurry everywhere. I lay back and shut my eyes savouring the brief solitude...
"Banzai!" I heard. The cry was followed by a hearty laugh and Lloyd landed just centimetres from where my head and shoulders were.
"What are you doing down there?" He asked. He extended a hand to help me up. I brushed it away.
"So I suppose you don't want to know anything about where you are?" He asked.
"Not from you." I replied in the same cold measured tone.
"Alright, but if you ever do come around and realise you're being a self absorbed prat-"
I cut him off by lunging at him again. This time I had my spear, but not the benefit of surprise it seemed. Lloyd erected a barrier around himself, which I ran into. It forced me back and I nearly fell on my own spear.
"You've really got to stop that. I can't keep making sheilds." Lloyd said calmly.
"How the hell can you be so calm?!" I snapped all of the sudden. I don't know why. "How can you just stand there and act like nothing important happened?! You're an evil bastard and you-" I choked and collapsed to my knees in the snow, "you killed him!"
I forgot everything I was ever taught about not showing weakness, about not showing anger, about everything. I was crying and I knew it and I didn't care. I was in the middle of nowhere and no one would hear me scream here.
I felt a hand gingerly place itself on my shoulder. I allowed myself to be gathered into a warm embrace.
"Lavitz..." I whispered.
Joyous! Chapter one! I move fast, so be warned.
