Tales of Symphonia is the property of Tales Namco and obviously I'm not making shit off of this. If I was, maybe I'd actually be happy about my strange inability to get plot-bunnies out of my head.

But... I digress.

(Before you read- I'm going to be twisting up Zelos' mansion a bit. It's a huge house, obviously. It's gotta have more than three rooms! I'll be throwing in a bunch of maids, tweaking the house layout a bit, etc. etc. Like I said, it's a big place. If anyone has any objections, please state so now in a calm, orderly fashion. Thank you.

P.S. This one is a post-game fic.)

Me of all people?

Tale 1- Winter

Zelos sat, albeit bored. It was snowing so hard outside, he and Sebastian had to literally bolt the door down to keep it from blowing open.

He looked at the clock in the living room.

'Two O' Clock... in the morning.'

He yawned and fiddled with a loose string on his glove. He just couldn't sleep.

Sebastian was in bed.

A majority of the maids were in bed.

So why couldn't HE sleep?

'Probably because of that damn snow.'

He pouted and cursed under his breath. He could hear some of the ''nocturnal'' maids scuttling about. The next sound he heard, however, he did not expect.

A loud, frantic knock on his door. A blonde maid hurried over to the door and unlatched it, pulling it slightly open with a creak.

Zelos sighed.

"Who's there?"

He asked, sitting up a little bit.

The maid turned around from the doorway.

"A miss Sheena Fujibayashi."

Zelos shot straight up.

"Open it! Open it up! oh, uh...Hey!" He called to a passing maid, who turned around.

"Get some blankets and hot coco, 'kay?"

The blonde maid allowed a frozen Sheena in as the other maid scuttled upstairs for blankets.

Sheena stood there, shivering and blue. Zelos ran up and hugged her.

Sheena shifted and grunted in disapproval. He let her go and ushered her over to a couch by the fireplace. Sheena thanked him franticly between hurried, quivering breaths.

Zelos shushed her and took the blankets and coco from the maid with a quick. "Cool, thanks, bye."

He covered Sheena with the blanket and handed her the mug with the coco.

Sheena honestly felt a little, well, uncomfortable with all this attention.

"Thanks..."

Sheena sipped the coco and waited for the onslaught of questions...

3...

2...

1...

"Are you out of your freakin' mind? It's, like, negative fifty billion out there!"

He yelled;

"What were you doing out there anyways?

"Do you know what time it is?

"You should be at home in Mizuho, all safe and warm and whatnot!

"What have you been doing sneaking around at two A.M.?

"Are you okay?

"You didn't catch a cold, did you?

"Are you warm?

"Do you need anything?"

By the time he finished talking, Sheena had finished her hot chocolate. She placed it on the end table and calmly answered all his questions.

"No. I'm not out of my mind.

I'm was doing my patrol. Orochi found out about a new terror group supposedly creeping around Meltokio.

It's 2:30 A.M.

I know, but duty calls.

Checking out the threat.

Yes, I'm fine.

No, I don't think so.

Yes, now I am, anyways.

No, no. I'm okay."

She finished and sighed. Zelos' mind successfully processed the information supplied.

"Oh... Well, you still shouldn't be out chasing after terrorists alone."

He scratched his head, unsure of what to do next.

"So... have you visited the others lately?" He decided to try and start conversation.

Sheena nodded, pulling the blankets closer to her.

"Llyod, Genis, Raine, Kratos, and Collette came to see me. Then we went to see Presea and Regal."

Zelos felt a bit a left out.

"Why'd you guys... Why didn't you come see me?"

Sheena shrugged. Zelos frowned. They sat there in almost complete silence.

Zelos suddenly felt a little brave and stole one of the blankets before quickly snuggling up to Sheena. Sheena gasped almost inaudibly, biting her lip and blushing hotly.

Zelos rolled over to face Sheena, laying on his back in her lap. He grinned.

"Until tomorrow."

Sheena huffed down at him, folding her arms. He grinned wider, but that quickly faded.

"Sheena, why me of all people?"

There was a short pause.

"You're the only one who would be dumb enough to be awake this time of night."

Sheena lied through her teeth. Zelos frowned and tugged on her blanket.

"You're hiding something."

Sheena shook her head franticly.

"Yes you are. Spill."

She shook her head faster.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Ugh!" Sheena grunted. He was hopeless. She shook her head more.

"Go on! Shake it all you want!"

"I'm going to-!"

"YES!"

Meanwhile, quite a bit of the maids had gathered in the other room, ears pressed to the door or wall, listening in nosily. Hearing the suggestive noises they were making, some of them blushed, some of them got rather disgusted looks on their faces, others covered their ears, mouths, or eyes, others still mumbled and whispered, and a select few wiggled their eyebrows suggestively, giggling.

The rest of the night went on, and nobody really got any sleep.

Ending on a note-

The first one is finally DONE! I'll be finishing the other ones shortly. Like the summary suggests, these will be short, fluffy little one-shots. The last one will most definitely be a song-fic. The rest, sadly only inspired by songs. If you can't already tell, this entire little collection of ficlets is inspired by Namie Amuro's song Four Seasons. (Better known as the ending for InuYasha Movie 3.)

And no, nobody got laid. If I did that, I'd have to up the rating. (There might be some citrus... later. It depends. Does anyone really want some fruit salad? Please, tell me.)

Now, for what you've been waiting for-

THE NEXT TALE SUMMARY!

Dun dun dun!

As spring approaches, Zelos begins acting strangely. Can the Salvation Army (Aka the Group of Regeneration.) figure out what his problem is, or is it something only he can fix?

Stay tuned for Tales of Four Seasons:

Tale 2- Spring!
