Ice: Just something I thought of awhile back and finally could put down. One shot thing. Just whatever. Enjoy! And of course, blah blah blah, don't own anything, blah blah blah.


It was a quiet, uneventful day on the Diplo. Fayt had been mostly keeping to himself in his room. It hadn't been long since their battle with the Creator and he was still trying to recover. A lot had happened and his mind was constantly racing. He barely noticed Sophia walking in.

She gazed at him, not wanting to break his thoughts, but wanting to talk to him all the same. She shuffled restlessly in the doorway unable to say anything. Finally she bit her lip and walked up to him as he rested on the bed.

"Fayt, I want to talk to you."

"Oh, Sophia, I didn't notice you there," he replied looking up at her.

"That's just it really… I feel like you don't care about me like you used to before all this happened."

"What makes you think that?" he asked as he sat up.

"Well, you seem so much happier being around Nel and even Maria. I see you laughing with them like you used to with me, but I haven't been able to make you laugh since before the events on Hyda IV…" said Sophia as she sat in the chair across from the bed.

"Sophia…"

"Do you like them because they're as strong and smart as you? I'm not the strongest girl, but I try my best out there! If that's what it takes for you to look at me the same way again, I'll do it."

"It isn't that…"

"No one here even likes me. You don't seem to either. Why did you bother saving me then?"

"You know we needed you to be able to fight the Creator."

"So it was just about using me? I can't believe you…"

"I didn't mean it like that… We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. We owe you a lot."

"Well no one seems to bother thanking me or anything. I just get looked down at like everyone is something special and I'm not."

"I'm sorry, Sophia. I really am." Fayt hung his head as he tried to figure out where she was getting these ideas.

"I don't think you even know how I really feel about you. You're not just a brother to me anymore. Fayt, I love you. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. I owe you my life and I want you to know how I feel. I think it's only right I tell you." Sophia started to cry as she stood up.

"Sophia, I love you too. Things have just been crazy since Hyda IV and losing my dad. I haven't paid you nearly enough attention as I should have. It's my fault. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?" Fayt asked as he hugged her, unwilling to let her walk away with tears.

She looked up at him, "Of course I forgive you. I've always loved you, but I never knew how to tell you. I guess everything just started to bother me lately. I'm sorry, that wasn't really fair to you."

"I was the one neglecting you. I'm the reason you started thinking about it. I should have paid more attention to you at least. I'm sorry. I guess I didn't know how to tell you either…"

Sophia smiled as she hugged him back. A weight had been lifted from her and her mood instantly changed to the happy young girl she had been before the accident on Hyda IV. Fayt even seemed to be feeling better with a clearer head than before.

The two stayed in their embrace, too happy to want to let it go. They never knew when it could end, and they didn't want to miss a moment.


Ice: I don't like Sophia a lot, but I had this idea and this is how it turned out. Fun. Tell me what you think. Might have a couple others like this with other characters coming soon. We shall see.
