I really feel the need to update to keep my 'alerter's' happy in regards to this fic. I chose Seasons Call this time. It feels very Tieria ish. Be warned for a slightly angsty Tieria.

9) Seasons Call


Tieria felt restless.

Defying the whirling wind,
I am searching for the lost season.
Even if it's only a little, it is towards the direction I'm aiming for
that vivid memories provoke me.

Why did he feel like this, why was facing his more human side so conflicting?

He felt as if he was defying the crew, VEDA, and especially Lockon... Lockon didn't deserve someone as broken as he was.

It was then that he was overwhelmed by his memories and feelings for Lockon. Hands all over his body, the feel of skin on skin, the bites at his shoulders, the pulling of hair, and the love and companionship that he oh so desperately needed.

He needed Lockon. Tieria wanted him mind, body, and soul.

Always, throughout my body,
you run about and seem to overflow.
That's why I'm not afraid, even tomorrow,
because I always feel you in me.

Tieria felt a presence next to him.

"Your thinking some pretty deep thoughts, I can almost feel your thoughts coming off you in waves."

"I was... No- I..."

Lockon was surprised, that was the first time he had ever seen the man at a loss for words, but there was a first for everything.

"Tieria?"

It was a quiet whisper, but Lockon heard it none the less. I think I love you.

"You... wait- what?"

"I know that you heard it you idiot, don't make me repeat myself!" Tieria shouted, completely embarrassed.

Lockon embraced Tieria, and he felt a wetness on his chest. Tieria was crying. He was shocked and humbled all at the same time.

"Look what you've made me do now." Tieria had an annoyed expression, but by looking in his eyes Lockon saw a trace of something more friendly there.

Tieria never had a chance to say anything more, as he found his mouth quite preoccupied by another, identical piece of human anatomy; and as if nothing had ever happened, two bodies instead of one, continued walking along the same path.
