I sat there, staring away from Him. The shock and hurt in His eyes was painful to see. I'm sure it was for Her too.
"A-are you serious?" He asked Her. I'm sure He was hoping She'd say no, that what He heard wasn't true.
"Yes."
"Is that really true?"
"Yes."
I couldn't look at them. I was still afraid of Her. But even so, I felt like the tears would come. I had spent so much time with them, I still cared for them both, despite my feelings.
"I will upload the coordinates of your target." She looked at me, and I pushed my feelings aside, like I'd been trained to do.
"OK. Thank you."
I stretched my hand out, and She placed Her finger on my palm briefly. The information flowed through my head, like I knew it would.
"I understand."
It was hard, knowing what would happen. I had been taught and trained to suppress my feelings, to put away all concerns and complete my job, my mission.
When I asked to be assigned this task, my superiors were doubtful at first. I don't blame them either. But they instructed me on what I should do, and reminded me that my task came first, that nothing else mattered but to fix this anomaly in Space and Time.
I knew what was going to happen soon. I had witnessed it over and over again.
Still, it didn't make this any easier for me.
I watched Him as he walked up to Her. He stood there, and I knew He was fighting a battle within Himself, one no one could help Him with.
The time was almost here. That horrible, horrible moment. I hated it. I knew it had to happen, but even I questioned why it had to. He was important, and not just because He could protect our timeline.
No, this was more personal.
When I had first met Him, I was always confused. I had just been assigned a mission so important that it baffled me. I wasn't even a proper member, just a trainee who was tossed into something huge.
But He, He showed me kindness. He helped me, stood up for me, and never judged me. I grew to depend on Him for protection, and wanted to do my best to inform Him when He needed it.
He risked much for me, and it was because He was just that type of guy.
What's more was, I was alone.
My superiors had sent me alone, telling me almost nothing but to not grow attached to anyone or anything and to do my task.
So when I saw Him, saw how kind He was, my feelings changed. Even though I wasn't supposed to, I did something that I knew was forbidden.
I fell in Love with Him.
It was difficult. I tried to suppress my feelings, but I couldn't fully control them. The only thing that kept me in control was the one solid fact that we could never be together.
But I still love Him.
It was because I loved Him that I couldn't keep completely silent. I knew what would happen. I knew what the outcome would be.
Even still, I couldn't let it happen without warning. I loved Him too much, I owed Him that much.
And now, the time had come. That last second.
"Kyon watch out!"
