A/N: Hello everyone! Smurf2005 here with a new story (actually, it's more of a drabble). It has been nearly a month since I last posted something, eh? Well, I got this done just for today, because I had to stop by the library and print off a coupon for Payless Shoe Source so I can buy shoes for my cousins wedding which is next Saturday. Anyways, about my story, this is a Tales of the Abyss story. I bought it on September 8, and I am just at the point where they went to check on Shurry Hill and they found out that a few... people were still alive. I thought three of them died in that avalanche on Mount Roneal! Yes, I am taking forever. I had trouble finding a few places and I keep it on pause for a long time. Anyways, this story takes place after the Absorption Gate. And Tear is starting to realize her feelings for Luke. She loves him, I know she does. Anyways, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Tales of the Abyss. Namco does. If I owned it, the experience and gald you get from monsters would be higher...


When It Happened

He has changed a lot. Just like he said he would. I was right to believe in him, though sometimes he can revert back to his old self and whine and put himself down. But, after we scold him for it, he apologizes for it. It is kind of hard to believe that when I first met Luke, he was a spoiled, arrogant person who knew nothing of the outside world. Now however, he is strong and he knows what he must do to save the world. It must have started after Akzeriuth, after Jade and the others went with Asch. I was in Yulia City, with Luke still sleeping. After Luke awoke, we argued a little before he finally agreed with me and cut his hair. I told him I would always be watching him to make sure that he was telling the truth. But, it has been nearly a month since we defeated my brother. I am not watching him now. I have no reason to. We set out to accomplish what we wanted to. We lowered the Outer Lands. Now, however, all I feel is a loneliness in my heart that I had never felt before. As I stand outside among the flowers, I reflect on my feelings for Luke. Perhaps I love him. That is the only thing I can think of at this time. Maybe I will write him a letter. I won't tell him I love him. I will save that for another time. I'm just not sure when it happened.

The End


A/N: So, what did you all think? Yes, this was just a drabble of the feelings Tear was starting to have for Luke. It was kinda like my Someday where Zelos reflected on his feelings for Sheena. Yes, I know it's short, but, I hope you all like it. I am looking for something to happen between Luke and Tear soon! And my cat is annoying me by rubbing into my back and allowing her tail to hit me in the back of the head. I'll mess with her tail. She hates that. Haha! Anyways, please read and review. As always constructive criticism is welcome but flames are not.
