Kratos PoV

I smiled slightly, looking down at the body next to me. Weighted lashes upon lightly tanned skin, not a single imperfect feature. He was the picture of an angel, so perfect and delicate yet unknowing of his fate, of the cruel harshness of the world.

'So like I once was, the world has shown me a fate worse than death. I do not wish this upon him, but I fear I can do nothing.'

Movement by my side caused me to gather my thoughts. Looking down to find brown eyes, so eerily like my own, staring at me in confusion.

"…Kratos? What's wrong?"

"…"

"What were you thinking about?"

"Nothing is wrong, return to your resting."

"Why do you never answer my questions Kratos?"

"What I think about I none of your concern Lloyd." I say with more force than I had intended. I wince, instantly able to see the pain my harsh words have caused. I sighed,

"Lloyd…" I start, but he cuts me off before I am able to get another word in.

"No Kratos don't apologize, you're right, what you think or do is none of my concern. I should stop acting like a child and worry about myself." He looked away slightly.

I sighed again; he's trying to guilt me into telling him. Unfortunately for me, he knows my weakness and is using it quite skillfully.

'But what can I tell him?' Lloyd isn't as stupid as people think. I can see a lot of cunning and he is also a very subtle manipulator, very much like…no I can't think about him. I must keep my head here, not in the comfort of a time long gone. I have a feeling Lloyd knows I'm not what I seem to be, one wrong word and he'll figure out everything. That is one thing I cannot allow. I sighed again; it was becoming quite a habit.

"Lloyd, I was thinking of how you looked so very much like a fallen angel, full of grace and beauty." He smiled slightly.

"You're lying, but it's enough." He nuzzled his head against my chest lightly.

It was my turn to smile, the smile I only show to him. I leaned down and took his lips to mine.

'Yes,' I thought, 'maybe it is enough'
