Chapter One: When Zelos is bored….
I don't own Tales of Symphonia
-----
Zelos was bored. Not that he would let anyone else know, but he was bored. Genis and Sheena were idly chatting away. He wanted to crawl upstairs and go back to bed, but no. Raine insisted he be a good host and let Genis stay with him in Meltokyo while she went to Sybak to fulfill her maniacal rune tendencies. Of course, Genis didn't go anywhere without Lloyd and Lloyd was rarely ever seen without Collette.
The thought of the blonde Sylvaranti chosen annoyed Zelos somehow. He suppressed the burning feeling of jealousy when he noticed that Sheena was staring at him funny.
"What?" He asked, annoyed. Sheena shook her head, "You've…been making weird faces for a couple of minutes." He looked at Genis who nodded his head. Zelos shrugged, "Just thinking..." A smirk returned to his face, "About my vulu-" He didn't even get the phrase out before Sheena's fist collided with the top of his head. He clutched his head in pain, his fingers tangling themselves in his own wavy red hair.
"You never change, you damned Chosen!" She said, annoyed. Zelos whined in complaint, "You always hit me!"
"Because you always say something stupid!" Sheena yelled at him. Zelos turned away, a pout on his lips, "Hey, I didn't ask to babysit." He crossed his arms. Genis gasped in mock surprise, "Is the great Zelos, bored!?"
Zelos shook his head, "No, I'm not."
"If you're so bored, then go do a booty call or something." Sheena glared, sitting down and crossing her arms.
Zelos perked up, "Do I detect a note of jealousy?" He relaxed back into the chair before saying, "Besides, every woman in the world is in love with me. The thrill of the game is over."
Genis put a hand to his head, "You mean to tell me you've seduced, every woman in the world?" Zelos gave a small nod, "More or less. Every now and then I find a human hating elf. So no game there."
Sheena gave a huff, "You're so…so…augh!" Throwing her hands up and then crossing them again. Anger was clear on her face. Zelos felt strangely satisfied. It was too easy to mess with Sheena. Then she turned her eyes on him. He could feel the devious woman's mind working up an evil and diabolical scheme.
"Are you willing to bet on that?" Zelos sighed, "Sheena, it's no contest. I've already won them all over."
"You can make anyone fall for you?" She said, her face holding a giant triumphant smirk, which only made Zelos shake his head, "You'd only loose."
"I choose who you have to get. And you have to do it, no 'if's, 'and's, or 'but's." Sheena said. Genis had shrunk into the background, not liking the intensity of the glares being passed around.
"Fine. So who will you pick? You? Let me tell you, to win you over, I haven't been trying." Zelos smirked.
Sheena's face darkened with dark triumph, "The loser has to be the other's slave for three weeks."
"How long do I have to win this person over?" Zelos asked. Sheena gave a dark laugh and shrugged, "Take a year for all I care, you'll never be able to do it."
"Alright, fine, a year. But tell me, who is it?"
The suspense had built in the air. It was nearly visible. Sheena gave another smirk and took in a breath. The whole world seemed to be on the edge of their seats, waiting to hear the answer.
Her reply came out so soft that Zelos almost didn't catch it at first. Then the name sunk into his brain and he visibly paled.
"Lloyd."

Wow, one of my shortest writings ever. I surprised myself.
So yeah. I realize, someone already did something similar to this. At least it started with a bet. It's not going to be anything like that.
Hmmm….I wonder if anyone who read my story 'Aisubeki' is going to kill me. I feel too lazy to even post a chapter there, telling people that I've got major writers block on chapter 8. I just keep writing myself into a corner. Like I start typing and then I'm like, 'no….no….Stop, or I'm going to- DAMN, writers block!' Oh, woe is me. But I came up with this little idea that I wrote down in my notebook.
So yeah.
