I quit writing a couple years ago, and the mood has suddenly hit me again. I apologize to anyone who read the first chapter of this story a couple years ago and was disappointed that I didn't continue. Just trust me when I say I had good reason. I'm not sure if anyone still even reads or writes Star Ocean Fanfics anymore, and I really don't remember the game too well anymore. The story will be based strictly off the notes I wrote down way back when.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything which includes Star Ocean.
WARNING! This story will eventually have content of the sexual nature. The fic also has naughty language. Just don't read if you only want hugs, kisses, lollipops and rainbows.
A/N: Italics indicate someone thoughts And I write in bold to make thoughts easier to read. Don't bitch about bold print please.
And another thing, I'm not the greatest writer. There will most likely be numerous errors, because I most likley will not proof read this.
Wicked Memories
(Albels POV)
Albel lay back against a tree which was a small distance from the campfire his companions had erected. He looked around at the idiots laughing and having a good time. What are they so happy about? The sight of the smiling maggots annoyed Albel. Why had they set up camp anyway? These fools think that just because the sky is black, they can sit around and take a break? How are we suppose to finish our objective with this sort of stupidity going on?
Albel cringed when he heard the sound of three of his female companions giggling Mirage had taken something out of her bag that Maria and Nel had apparently found hilarious. Albel sneered. He hated all of his companions, but he especially hated the female ones. In his opinion, women were physically and mentally inferior to men.
Albel turned his head towards the blonde that was sleeping next to the giggling idiots. Cliff was sprawled out on his back, arms wide open like he was about to give the stars a bear hug. Now there's another idiot. Albel detested the blonde, but respected the power he held with his fist. Stupid and strong is better than stupid and weak.
A cool chill swept through the woods, biting at Albels flesh. He shivered slightly, briefly considering moving closer to the fire. He shook his head, angry at himself for even thinking such a thing. I don't want to be near those maggots. Especially the blue haired maggot. Albels eyes shot over to where the earthling sat, the stupid Earth girl Sophia, sitting close to his side. She was leaning in near the young mans ear, smiling and whispering something. Fayt put his hand on her shoulder and leaned in closer, seeming to take great interest in what she was saying. Why don't you just fuck her already? The tall Elicoorian knew he was slightly jealous but chose to ignore it. Albel only glared at them, wishing he could wipe the smiles off of all there pretty little faces. He especially wished to wipe the smile off Fayts face. Albels eyes were glued to that smile, eyes refusing to look away from the boy. Why am I always staring at him! Albels hateful glare moved upward, his eyes coming in contact with Fayts. Albel felt a sudden flush of embarrassment from being caught staring, but refused to shift his hateful glare.
"What's wrong with you?" Fayt asked, obviously a little agitated by the unwarranted hate in Albels eyes.
Albels body jerked a little from the words. Slowly, the Elicoorian stood, not taking his eyes off the Earthlings. "You." He hissed. Turning his back to Fayt, he walked into the woods and away from the campfire.
((((flashback ))))
"What's wrong with you?" Albel looked up at the blue haired boy that was talking to him.
"What?" Albel muttered, a little under his breath. Who is this kid and why is he bugging me? Albel stared at the handsome boy. He looked to be about Albels age, maybe 17 or so. He had short spiky blue hair and two long tails of blue hair that went down to his butt. He had green eyes and an impossibly wide smile on his face.
The stranger sat down next to Albel. "You've been staring at that bush for the past 15 minutes. I thought I'd come over and make sure you weren't in a coma."
Albel just stared blankly at him. He's Gorgeous. Crap! Don't think that!
The stranger waved his hand in front of Albels face, "Whoa. You really are out of it. Are you gonna be okay?"
Blinking, Albel shook his head. "Yeah. I'm fine." What does this guy want? Probably just another asshole trying to befriend the son of the famous General Nox. "What do you want?" he asked, trying to sound indifferent.
" Well, I'm new to the lovely Airyglyph School of Military Arts, and I don't really know where anything is. I was seriously considering wandering around aimlessly for awhile, but when I saw you, you struck me as a real friendly, helpful type. So do you care to help your fellow man?"
Albel half smiled, enjoying the sarcasm in the other boys voice. He would normally tell people to fuck off, but for some reason he couldn't bring himself to say it to the green eyed boy. Maybe if he weren't so damn good looking. Quit thinking that Nox! You're not queer! Quit acting like one and tell him no.
The stranger smiled, "So, yes or no?"
Albel opened his mouth with full intentions to say no. Instead, he uttered, "Okay." Imbecile! What are you doing! Albel mentally slapped himself. I'm such an idiot.
The blue haired boys smile widened, "Great! My names Aaryn." Aaryn stuck his hand out to shake Albels.
Albel slowly raised his hand, curling his fingers around Aaryns hand. "I'm Albel."
(((((flashback end)))))
"There you are!"
Albel turned towards the direction of the voice. Fayt stood to his left, arms crossed over his chest. Albel ignored the boy, refocusing on the leaf he had been staring at for the past hour.
"I was worried when you didn't come back to camp. I thought you might have hurt yourself"
Why would you care anyway? Albel continued to ignore the boy.
"Would it kill you to talk to me!"
Albel turned to face the boy again. Fayt stood there, anger shining in his eyes. Albel gave him an evil smile. "No, but I might kill you if you continue to talk to me."
"You know, I've never done anything to you. In fact, I'm the only person that ever even bothers to try to talk to you. So why the hell do you treat me this way? God! I just don't understand how you can be so…so very…" Fayt ran his hand through his hair, struggling to find the word he was looking for. "so…very…unhuman."
Unhuman? Albel knew why he hated the boy. Fayt had single handedly brought back all the memories that he fought so hard to suppress. It pissed him off. He shouldn't have to feel those things anymore. He wouldn't allow himself to feel those things anymore. He didn't want to remember. "I treat you that way because," Albel said through clenched teeth, "I……HATE….MAGGOTS."
Fayt lowered his head towards the ground in defeat. "Fuck you Albel." He whispered, returning into the woods.
Albel felt a slight twinge of guilt but quickly shoved it aside. He rose to his feet, brushing the pine needles off his legs. I better get back to camp before anymore fools decide to harass me. Albel slowly started back to camp hoping tonight his head would not be filled with memories of Aaryn.
To be continued…
Let me know that there are still Fayt and Albel fans out their so I'll know I'm not wasting my time! Review!!
