This is just a collection of one-shots of actual moments in the game, but heavily rewritten with more fluff! For all the Sheelos/SheenaxZelos fans!

Just a heads-up, Zelos acts slightly OoC for some moments, (a little more compassionate and stuff) but is still as pervy and sarcastic as he is in the game.

Prepare yourself, this first chapter contains quite a lot of fluff. :D Enjoy!

Otherworldly Gate

(Zelos' POV)

"…And eventually ended up in Sylvarant." My Cool Beauty Raine finished. I was having a really tough time understanding this. So these two were born in Tethe'alla, but were teleported to Sylvarant via this funky circle of stones. Seemed a little far-fetched at the time.

"Then this time, let me send you to Hell instead!" Great, it was that Kuchi-whatever guy.

"What the hell is this guy blabbing about? I mean, he's from Mizuho and is friends with my voluptuous demonic banshee Sheena." I thought as this guy and the Pope's minions popped out.

"Avenge your parents? What are you talking about, Kuchinawa?" I finally heard Sheena say. So now this Kuchinawa guy is involved with the Pope. Damn. Doesn't this guy and Sheena go way back or something?

"Kuchinawa! Please! Don't drag them into this! I'm the one you despise, right? Then I'm the one you need to kill!" What the hell is she getting herself into?! Sheena can't just sacrifice herself for us. I won't let her.

"Sheena, don't talk like that!" Lloyd said.

"It's okay. Kuchinawa, just…" There was no way in hell I was gonna let Kuchinawa lay a finger on Sheena. That's when I decided to take action, just as this weird beam thing shot from the moon. I was confused at that point, until I realized that was our key outta this situation.

"Enough of this, Sheena! Lloyd, everyone, hurry!" I sprinted over to Sheena, grabbed her hand and pulled her with me to the centre of the circle. Lloyd and the rest followed. Just as I had hoped, we were transported to the declining world of Sylvarant.

Well, the whole group looked pretty shocked to have gone from Tethe'alla to Sylvarant in a split-second. Well, to be honest, I was a little surprised too. But, I was more focused on Sheena's safety than anything else.

"Zelos! Why did you butt in?!" Sheena practically yelled at me just as I approached her. I wondered how she could be so upset with me, just moments after I saved her life. As she kept lecturing me, I looked over to Lloyd and the others, who were discussing what to do next. I took this opportunity to talk with Sheena. "Zelos, are you even listening to me?!" she finished.

"Sheena, I wasn't going to let you die back there!" I told her. It must have been pretty surprising for her, becaues I wasn't using my usual sarcastic tone. I tried my hardest to sound comforting and honest. It was a little difficult to be honest. "So, I just had to butt in." I finished. It was weird, even for me… Concerned and considerate? That's not usually how I roll! I wasn't acting normal at all.

"Zelos…I'm sorry for getting angry at you. And, uh, th-thanks…" she said, while hesitating her words. I couldn't really tell how she felt at that moment, whether it was awkwardness or shyness from my more-considerate-and-compassionate-than-usual behaviour. I really hoped I didn't make her feel awkward.

"Just, don't do it again. Ever. I might not be able to protect you a second time around." I said as I took a step toward her, without realizing how close I got to her. To my surprise, she didn't step back as I thought she would. (She had a fear of me groping her or something...heh.) To my even greater surprise, she placed her arms around my shoulders and HUGGED me! Something I thought would only happen once in a blue moon, or never… All I could do was hug her back, and resist touching something I probably shouldn't touch. It was that moment that I realized a few valuable lessons; if you really want to get to a girl's heart, you gotta show her you care about her. Plus, that entourage of chicks that follow me around in Meltokio? They probably don't give a rat's ass about me. All they care about is my status as the Chosen of Tethe'alla, and for my amazing looks. I also had a gut feeling, telling me I feel something much more for Sheena than a flirtationship. Unfortunately, despite all this, if I starting acting all compassionate and nice all the time, THAT WOULD TOTALLY CRAMP MY STYLE!

"OKAY you two, snap out of it, we're going to Palmacosta!" said Lloyd. I completely forgot we weren't alone... Talk about awkward. Even so, Sheena and I trailed behind the rest of our group.

"So, would it hurt to give me a kiss or two?" I said, being myself again.

"Zelos, you were acting all nice to me five seconds ago just to get to me, weren't you?! Grr, I can't believe I fell for that! I even hugged you!" Sheena yelled, as she tried to catch up with Lloyd and the others.

"H-hey, Sheena! Sorry, I just-" I started to say, but she had already joined the rest of the group. A little while later, she looked over her shoulder and our eyes met. I think she smiled, but I might have just been imagining things.

I hope you guys enjoyed it! There will be more one-shots coming up, so stay tuned!
