Hey there :)

I know I should probably focus on my other story, but I FINALLY beat ToS and the idea for this fic just wouldn't leave me alone. Well it's just a short Oneshot and I'm sorry for any gramatically mistakes. Also I think Sheena and Zelos might be a bit OCC, too. -.- Sorry for that.

Anyways on with the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Tales of Symphonia, if I did I wouldn't have to write Fanfics...

Routine

She couldn't sleep this night - again. Like every night since he - since that day.

In the daytime it was okay. Her life was busy, being the new chief of Mizuho and everything. She had enough to keep her mind occupied with.

But at night.

She hated the nights with a passion. She was all alone then. There was nothing to keep her thoughts from trailing to him. Nothing to concentrate on to stop the pain.

A deep sigh cut through the silence. Her sight focusing on the stars once again.

Somewhere out there was her beautiful angel.

Somewhere.

Drifting in space on a lonely deserted planet. Punishing himself for things-

Tears threatened to fall. Again. Like every time.

Footsteps approached.

The same routine every night.

"Hey", someone quietly greeted her

"Hey", she greeted back.

And then no more words were spoken, as the former Chosen of Tethe'alla slowly started kissing his way down her neck.

Pleasure began to take over her mind, pushing all unwanted thoughts about the other man - no, angel - to the back of her mind.

It was just a routine. But these hours with Zelos took away the pain in her heart somehow. Even if only a little bit.

She still remembered the first time. The words he had said. 'It's just to make you feel better. No emotions attached I promise.' No emotions attached... 'Just tell me to stop if you don't want it.' She still remembered the look in his eyes, eyes filled with sadness, even if she didn't want to understand it back then.

She felt her own climax approaching, heard him cry out above her. Then it was over.

"Zelos..." she whispered, as she lay in his arms, looking at the stars - once again.

"Hmmm?", he asked, his finger drawing lazy circles on her back.

"Do you.." She swallowed. She felt horrible for using him the way she did. "Do you love me?"

Again this sadness in his eyes. She knew it, she just had to hear it from his mouth.

"You do don't you?"

The boy underneath her just closed his eyes and said nothing.

"I'm sorry." Sheena whispered. "I'm so sorry for using you. For... for not being able to love back. I'm such a horrible person"

Zelos just lay there silent. Something wet hit his face. He sighed. Then he sat up, holding the summoner close to him.

"Don't be sorry.", he whispered, brushing away her tears with his thumb. "Of course I love you after all you're one of my hunnies." he flashed her one of his trademark grins. "So", he whispered. "Please don't worry about me okay? I'm happy if you are happy."

"Z-Zelos"

"Hush, don't speak"

And she didn't.

She just lay in his arms, looking at the night sky.

Thinking about the angel, she could never have, who was so far away. And thinking about the one in whose arms she lay. Her favourite pervert. The one who was always there for her although she hurt him so much.

A bitter smile graced her lips. Yes, he would always be there for her. And she would just continue to use him.

After all he had practically given her permission to do so.

After all it was just a routine.

AN: Not very long I know. Sorry for that but I hope you liked it. Please Review!
