'Thoghts'

"Speech"

The lighthouse incident three years ago changed their lives. In a positive way.

Felix, our brown-haired, quiet, cool and not-so-vocal hero, had actually fallen head over heels in love. And not to forget; the object for his affection loved him back.
Piers, our golden-eyed, calm, strong and stubborn Lemurian, had fallen for the Venus Adept. Hard and fast.

---xXx---

Felix chopped through some thick vines, almost mechanically moving his arms back and forth, as he thought back at the time of the journey. It'd been love at first sight. He hadn't believed that was possible before; something so corny and mushy-gushy didn't seam appealing to him at all. But when they "found" Piers in Madras prison, he changed his mind in less than a second. Those golden eyes that contrasted with his aqua-blue hair and the muscular, but yet lean and agile body, sculptured by years at sea. His free spirit definitely didn't belong behind bars in a filthy small cell. Felix temper still flared whenever he thought about the ones putting his beloved in jail. Not to mention, Felix was a bit…possessive over his boyfriend. (Yes! His boyfriend! Only his!) He continued to think while he made his way through the forest.

Piers followed the Venus Adept closely, with his sword unsheathed, ready to attack or defend against any aggressive monsters. Smiling slightly as he watched the back of his lover, he took some time to think back at the moment the first met. The Mercury Adept realized that he hadn't made a very good first impression, being imprisoned like a simple thief or villain and all. But even though he'd seen Felix for the first time through thick iron bars, he'd known that his heart was caught when their eyes met, if only for a second, golden and mysterious brown orbs locked with each other. The hair was spiky and unruly, still was as a matter of fact, and his thin yet muscular frame was tense and alert. Love at first sight.

"Piers?"

THUNK!

Suddenly Piers found himself in a very odd position in Felix arms, cached before he fell flat on his back.

Felix gazed down on the Water Adept. "You were daydreaming…I asked you a question but I got no answer. Isn't it rude to ignore your boyfriend?"

Piers frowned. That explained the dull throbbing on his forehead. "Uh…I-I was just…um…how did this happen again?" Piers stuttered, feeling a bit stupid.

Felix sniggered quietly and pulled his love a bit closer. "I asked you if you wanted to stop here and put up camp for the night. But you paid me no mind." Felix leaned down to Piers ear. "Am I that uninteresting?"

Piers shuddered when the hot air was blown into his ear. He gently pushed himself off the Earth Adept and glared playfully at him. "Stop that you pervert! For your information; I wasn't daydreaming…I was just remembering things."

Felix shrugged with a smirk plastered in his face. "I'm the pervert? You're the oldest one here! Though you've never been polite enough to tell me exactly how old…"

"I can't see how my age would matter Felix. Concentrate on finding the bandits instead." Piers shrugged the age-question off yet again.

"You still haven't answered me Piers. Set camp or not?"

Piers stood still for a moment, closed his eyes and let his psyenergy scan their surroundings. They were currently on Hesperia continent, hunting down some thieves that had stolen a valuable tablet from New Vale.

As the rumors had spread about the Golden Sun and its divine limitless power, many bandits and power-hungry thieves had come to New Vale and searched for remnants of Mt. Aleph and Sol Sanctum.

The tablet was one of the very few things that the elders had been able to save from the disaster. It was supposed to be a special summon, unique for Vale. And, of course, seeing as it was from ancient times, it became a target for these particular thieves. One of them was supposedly an Adept, seeing as he'd used a Sleep-spell to get past the elders in the temple that it wan being kept in.

Felix and Piers was quick to offer their help to hunt them down. Neither of them was happy, living in the rebuilt Vale in peace, with nothing to explore, no adventures to be found. They both longed for freedom, to be able to snail wherever they wanted and see as the new world evolved.

And it wasn't a bad thing that it was only the two of them…

So here they were, surrounded by a thick jungle with only themselves to rely on (not that that was a bad thing). Just like the old days with a new twist.

Piers eyes fluttered open. "There's a small stream a bit further ahead. We can stop there."

Felix looked at him with a strange face. "Why do you always insist on being close to water? And you always seem to find it too…"

"It talks to me, dear Felix. And to further inform you; we are filthy. A quick bath to get rid of all this mud and sweat would be nice and our water bottles need to be refilled." Piers walked past his boyfriend and started to make his way through the jungle.

"You know I don't like wate-OUCH!" Felix gently rubbed his stinging cheek where the branch had hit him. He glared at Piers. "You did that on purpose!"

Piers looked back at him with an innocent face. "Don't badmouth my element Felix! Now come on and hurry up! The sun will set in approximately three hours and we need to have a camp by then."

Felix grumbled and followed the blue-haired Lemurian, this time with his senses on guard for more branch-flinging. He would get his revenge in one way or another...

Luckily for Piers, he couldn't se the mischievous smirk on Felix face.

Putting down the packing, Felix watched the Mercury Adept walk calmly down to the small but pretty fast flowing river. He himself, plopped down on a patch of thick grass, a safe distance from the water but yet close enough to hear and see if Piers got any trouble. Not that he would, it was, as he said; his element. But anyway, it's better to be safe then sorry.

It wasn't that he didn't like water. He was grateful for the cooling liquid quenching his thirst, he liked the feeling of it trickling down his hair and back, washing away the dirt and to be on a boat and watch the sun set over the open sea with Piers by his side. That was actually the best form of water. His very own Water Adept, the son of the sea himself.

But nonetheless, water didn't seem to like him.

After being swept of the deck and down into the water by a giant wave, and getting pulled out of the ocean by Piers one to many times, Felix had built up a respect and a slight…distrust for it.

"Felix! Get down here!"

Said Venus Adept snapped out of his thoughts and quickly located the voice that he knew so well. "You know me better than to ask that, Piers hunny. Though you can feel free to walk around like that more often…"

Piers blushed in a deep cherry-red and lowered his bare torso in the water, until the chilling, but refreshing, liquid almost touched his burning cheeks. "Shut up! I'm not so sure I want you in here anymore…"

"Fine by me." Felix waved his hand. "I can enjoy the view from here."

Piers snorted. "It's only because I love you that I can put up with your tongue."

"Love you too."

Felix returned to fixing their tent, humming a soft tune while glancing even so often at the bathing Piers. Said Lemurian didn't miss the thought-to-be-subtle looks he got from Felix. He walked up from the water, still with bare chest, and sneaked up behind the brown-haired Adept.

"I don't need you to watch over me like my mother Felix." He said while wrapping his muscular arms around his boyfriend. "I can defend myself quite good.

Felix turned around to face his captor. "I know, I know…I just don't trust this place to be safe."

"It's because it isn't. Neither was our whole journey. Felix, these monsters will bother neither you nor me." Piers let go of his protective koi and turned to face the supposed campfire. "You do know that three sticks alone won't burn for very long…if we even can set them on fire that is."

Felix looked over at the small sticks he'd gathered before his eyes had averted to watch over the Lemurian. "Hn. I guess Garet and Jenna was good for something beside being stubborn and violent."

Piers chuckled. "Don't be so mean Felix. You stay here and fix some food, while I gather some more wood." He noticed the look in the piercing brown eyes. "I won't be gone very long and Serac will be with me too keep me safe."

The little blue djin popped up and chirped happily, as if trying to convince his masters lover to let him go. Not very convincing since he was about the size of a small football, but Felix sighted and waved his hand, motioning that it was okay. "I don't like the idea of splitting up but you're probably right. I hate when you're right…"

"I'm always right." Piers smiled and began to put on his dry clothes.

He heard Felix voice mutter. "Stubborn Water Adept. I swear, if I knew you'd be like this I would've left you at home."

"After all the long, lonely years in Lemuria, you're a nice change of object to tease. Put up the rest of the camp now and I'll be back in a few."

As he embarked once again into the thick forest, Piers exhaled and let his senses relax. The peace that the sound of flowing water gave him and the stillness and silence of the woods was calming and purifying to his mind.

There was too much of this in Lemuria and too little in the outside world.

Frowning he realized that this was maybe…a bit too quiet. Almost like everything was…sleeping?

He took a good look around. 'Traces of humans…' He saw the broken branches and the marks of footprints in the grass.

"Serac…be ready."

Piers held his sword ready for battle and the djin perched itself on his shoulder.
