P.O.V Interchanging.
Lloyd scowled as he stamped the iron into the ground sdo the tent wouldn't collapse on him. 'I can't believe I have to spend the night in a tent with him.' Lloyd thought to himself sourly.
Flashback
By the time they reached Luin, it had only been late afternoon. They were able to secure lodging, and a few of the shops were still open so the girls went shopping with Genis. Lloyd had been in his room on his bed, dozing lightly. But after awhile, he got bored and decided to go see if there was anything to eat.
Unfortunately on the way down, he bumped into Kratos. The tension started building once again, and the onlookers held their breath. They didn't want to get caught up in a brawl. But Lloyd just turned, to stalk up the stairs again, only to trip and fall backwards, colliding into Kratos with a grint and end up in a heap of arms and legs at the bottom of the stairs.
Blushing with embarassment, Lloud got up, fully intending to make his escape while Kratos picked himself up off the ground, when the owner of said inn, prompty threw them both out, on the grounds of fighting.
When the Professeur, Colette, and Genis finally got back, they were tired after shopping, which meant they weren't too happy with being thrown out. Even after apologizing profusely to the innkeep, the two 'trouble-makers' were denied entrance into the inn, and finally Raine decided.
"You two are going to go work out 'whatever it is' that's being going on with you two." She said, while shoving their camping equipment into Lloyd's arms.
"There's nothing going on with--ow!" Lloyd was cut off as Raine smacked him upside the head with a glare.
"We've all felt the tension between you two. Now I don't know or want to know why, but one thing's for sure. It's distracting, tiring, and must be dealt with. So you two will camp outside town until you have dealth with the problem." Raine ordered, tapping her foot with a glare.
"But..but!" Lloyd stuttered, but Raine help up a hand with a firm glare on her face.
"Not until you've dissolved the tension. Is.That.Clear?" She demanded, and Lloyd gave a dejected nod.
"Good, now go set up camp. It'll be dark soon." She directed before slamming the door shut. Lloyd sighed.
"I guess we better get moving." He muttered, turning onto to see Kratos already half-way down the street.
"H-hey! Wait for me!"
End of Flashback
Lloyd sighed at his misfortune, as he put away his pack into the tent he would be sharing with...Sighing again, he decided he needed to get the fire started before it got too dark. Pulling back the flap of the tent entrance, he stepped out and froze.
Kratos stared at him from across the clearing, eyes half-lidded. Lloyd swallowed the lump in his throat as the tension settled around them once more.
"I..uh.." Lloyd started, but KRatos turned and started walking away.
"I'll stand guard tonight." He stated simply. Lloyd bit his bottom lip before blurting.
"I'm sorry!" Kratos hesitated mid-step, paused, then turned around to give Lloyd a slanted look. Lloyd flushed red from the intense stare.
"I..uh...I'm really sorry..I.." Lloyd stumbled, as he searched for words that could convey his meanings.
"It's understandable." Kratos replied. Lloyd frowned.
"What...?" Kratos gestured vaguely in Lloyd's direction with one hand.
"You are young. Impulsive. It was instinct for you. It didn't mean anything." He stated impassively. No emotions revealed in his face or voice. Lloyd felt his eyes narrow in disbelief.
"What...? Impulse..? Instinct!? What are you trying to say!!?" Kratos said nothing, and Lloyd only stared back heatedly.
"Wha--!? Who do you think you are--!?"
"What do you want me to say?" Lloyd blinked confused, shocked out of his sudden rage. Kratos ddin't move, but repeated himself, face icy.
"What do you want me to say?" Lloyd looked away from the other man, face flushed and an odd stinging sensation at the back of his eyes.
"I-I don't know...I just didn't want it to mean nothing to you!" He exclaimed. Kratos hesitated, face dropping to stare at the ground before coming back up to Lloyd's face.
"Why...?"
Lloyd looked surprised , eyes widening as his gaze was drawn back to Kratos's face. He desperately tried to find an answer inside of himself that he could put into words. Words that would tell the other man what he wanted to say.
The silence was deafening.
Finally Kratos relaxed, and dropped his gaze from Lloyd's. Lloyd felt the tension seep away.
"I understand."
And with that, Kratos turned and walked away.
