The song that brings your heart to mine
After sitting half-way through one of her college classes, completely bored out of her mind, Lina Inverse turned to look out the window.
She expected to see the usually cars going by, a few white clouds in the sky, the ocassainl passer by, but instead...
There was...XELLOSS!
Lina began to panic!
What if someone saw him! Some reporter or some fangirls! They would surely go after him.
Xelloss winked at her from down below in the street, tossing his keys in his hand and leaning against his way too expenisve car.
He motioned for her to come.
"Oh god.." said Lina under her breathe.
She suddenly got up from her seat.
"Uuhhh...teach? Sorry..I've gotta go!"
With that she ran out the door of the small classroom.
"LINA! Where are you going?!" London called after her.
...
When Lina reached the street she almost ran into Xelloss.
"WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING!" she shouted.
"I missed you, so I had to come see you." said the violet haired man cassuialy.
From up in the classroom, everyone in her college math class was staring down at her and her literal rockstar boyfriend.
"YOU COULD BE SEEN BY SOMEONE AND BASICALY MUGGED YOU ASSHOLE!"
"Well..that's just the price of love." he said with a smirk.
"Get. in . the. car." said Lina.
"Can't I have a kiss first?" begged the Mazoku.
"GET IN THE FUCKING CAR!"
"But I-"Xellos began, Lina cutting him off.
"Go." Lina's look took all the fight out of him, and he turned and went, Lina following.
...
When Lina and Xelloss had gotten a safe distance from her school, she glared vicously at her boyrfriend.
"Mind telling me why you didn't think that one through?" she asked.
"I just wanted to see you thats all..."
"XELLOSS YOU IDOIT! Don't you know some fangirls or some reporters could see you? Did you just think it'd be ok? That somehow NOBODY would see you?!"
"I guess I just wasn't thinking..."
Lina turned away from him.
"Bastard..." she said under her breathe.
"I'm sorry.."
"It's just after all these years of you being wiser and older than everyone else you'd think that you'd be better at thinking things through!"
Xelloss had to force himself to concentrate on the road instead of just leaning over and giving her a big hug. He had barely done anything but still he felt so terrible.
The two sat there in sielence until Lina finally asked:
"So where are we going..?"
That was it.
Xelloss suddenly pulled over the car.
"What are y-"
He cut her off quickly with a kiss.
Her eyes widened in suprise.
Then he pulled away gentley and leaned his head on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry.." he whispered.
Then he got out of the car and handed her the keys.
"You can drive yourself back to school. Just give the keys to Zelgadis."
"Hey..wait!"
Xelloss walked quickly away from the black convertable.
"She doesn't like me.." he said to himself. "She just doesn't want to hurt my feelings..I know it. And after I thought being in love was changing me for the better...I just...I just assumed too much."
Tears began spilling from his eyes.
"I have to think things through. I can't be so reckless or I'll upset Lina-chan again."
He finally came to his apartment building, when he was sure no one was around he teleported straight to his bedroom.
"She would be better off without me. I'm too dense and too reckless and she needs someone more reliable. I know it. Living in this world has changed me for the worst."
He curled up into a ball and let the tears fall letting everything go.
"I can't talk to Lina-chan anymore..I-I can't hurt her."
...
When Zelgadis got home that evening he didn't see Xelloss in his usual perch on the coach where he would usually sit and drink his tea and scribble in his song book for hours on end.
He did that EVERY FREAKING DAY!
If he missed his song writing time, you knew for sure something was wrong.
There wasn't even any tea cups in the sink.
And he had had a good day too!
He and London had had a good date and she had explained to him all about her family history. He was in such a good mood and now Xelloss had to go and ruin it with his whining!
He was probably just pouting about some stupid little thing.
But when he opened the door to Xelloss' bedroom he realized just how wrong he really was.
His songbook lie closed on the floor untouched.
"What's wrong with you?" said Zelgadis coming quickly closer to his friend.
Xelloss said nothing to him. He only fell sielent and kept the same position.
Zelgadis grabbed his arm.
"Hey Xelloss whats up?" he said.
He shook him a little.
Still no response.
If Xelloss wouldn't answer the chimera there really wasn't much he could do, so he left the room to leave Xelloss in his misery. It was his choice, if he didn't want his friends help Zelgadis wasn't going to force it on him.
...
The next day London came over the the apartment to pay a visit to Zegadis.
They sat in the living room and watched a movie for a while, then Xelloss came out of his room, and walked through the living room, his expression blank, putting his leather jacket on and walking out the door.
"Whats wrong with Lord Xelloss?!" exclaimed the blonde.
"I have to idea, he hasn't spoken to me since yesterday. I asked him what was wrong and he didn't even look at me."
"Oh no." said London, looking concerned.
...
Lina had called Xelloss at least five times since yesterday and he hadn't picked up once.
She was begining to worry.
Had she said something that upset him?
She hadn't been the nicest the last time they had talked, but that was only because she was worried about him. He was being reckless and she simply wanted him to be more careful.
She was out on a walk when she saw Xelloss sitting by the lake looking out on the water.
He looked really deep in thought, but Lina needed an answer to why he wasn't picking up his phone.
"Hey Xel!" she called out to him.
No reply.
'Maybe he didn't here me.' she thought.
She walked over to him and sat down next to him.
"Hey." she said with a smile.
No reply.
"Xelloss?" she said.
No reply.
"HEY!" she said, grabbing his arm.
He broke away from her and got up and walked away.
"XELLOSS!" she called after him, running to catch up to him.
He walked faster.
She caught up again.
Finally he was so annoyed he teleported away.
Lina was shocked.
Was he that angry with her?
She called him again.
Voicemail. Shit.
She called him again.
No answer.
She walked quickly back to her apartment in panick mode.
She called again.
Voicemail.
Finally, Lina just assumed he was mad at her and eventaully he would get over it.
She went to bed with her thoughts flying.
What if this was his way of breaking up with her? They had only just started going out!
She couldn't lose him too.
...
Three days later the Secrets were having another concert.
London managed to snag them frount row seats again.
Lina had put on her sexiest red dress and red lipstick and made her hair look as shiny as possible in hopes of grabbing Xelloss attention.
London was giggley and fangirling with all of her friends.
When the stage lights came on, Xelloss was in his normal concert wear.
"Good Evening my little angels, it's great to have you again tonight." he said, with a little less enthuastasm than the last time Lina had heard him.
The crowd still went wild just like last time.
"You know, love can really do strange things to you, thats what this new song I'm going to sing you is about."
Before starting to sing, he looked around the audience until his eyes landed on Lina.
His eyes widened in shock.
"Xelloss?" said one of the girls in the band.
Tears started spilling out of his eyes.
He covered his face as his sobs shook his body.
The audience was sielent.
Lina was shocked as well.
Was he crying because of her?
He ran off the stage with the rest of his band members staring.
Some of the fangirls began whispering.
Zelgadis ran off after him.
London looked very concerned.
What the hell was going on?
