Zelloyd Romeo & Juliet: chapter.10
While the two were riding their monster cross, the other two continued to fly on the Rheaird, however...Lloyd was a bit worried for the small blond.
"Lloyd, what's up" The chosen asked, noticing the troubled look on his lover.
"I was just thinking…"
"Hmm? What about? Emil and that Richter guy?" He asked.
"Yeah...i just don't really know if i can 100% trust that guy with Emil. But i really want to...because i know Emil has feelings for him…"
"Lloyd, you really are like your dad" Zelos said, chuckling a bit.
"Huh?" Lloyd turned his head, cheeks flushed pink. "What do you mean?" He asked.
"Kratos didn't approve of me, and now you don't approve of Richter with Emil" He explained.
"Uh...well...i don't know, i guess because Emil is younger than me, i feel like i have to look out for him or something...kind of...kind of like a-"
"-A Dad?"
"No, a brother, a friend"
"Sure, sure. Lloyd Aurion" Zelos teased.
"S-Shut up, It's Irving!" Lloyd embarrassed as he argued back.
"Hehe, my bumpkin is so cute when he's mad" Zelos continued to tease.
"Ugh! Take this!" Lloyd grinned, twisting his waist a bit, and pulled on the red locks of hair.
"Oi, oi, oi! Not the hair!" Zelos whined, pulling on the white ribbon of the hero's collar.
"Ack!" The sudden pull choked the hero.
Eventually both stood up on the Rheaird, thankfully not falling off. Lloyd and Zelos childishly wrestled, both had their hands clasped together, both pushing, trying to see who was stronger. Their forehead pressed together.
"You know, he'll be your dad too" Lloyd smirked angrily.
"Heh, at least i'm not about to tell my best friend that fell in love with me" He argues back, sharing the same grin as Lloyd.
"At least i'm doing it, what about you telling sheena?"
"Shut up Bumpkin!"
"Idiot chosen!"
"country hick!"
"Loudmouth!"
"Peeping tom!" Hey, Zelos! He only got that title because of you.
Lloyd suddenly, and skillfully pulled Zelos over,pushing him in the front seat, letting Zelos's back hit what could be the dashboard. He pinned him in place, holding the chosen's arms on the handlebars of the Rheaird.
"Gigolo…" He whispered.
"Master swordsman…" Zelos whispered, as Lloyd was closing the gap between them.
"My gleaming knight…" Lloyd pressed their lips together. Zelos opened wide, longing for the hero's tongue inside him.
"Zelos…" Lloyd broke the kiss. "You mean everything to me" He said.
"Lloyd, you're everything to me…" Zelos replied.
"Lloyd allowed the chosen's hand to go free, feeling them wrap around his neck. He wrapped his arms around his lover's waist, continuing the kiss.
"Mess me up Lloyd" Zelos whispered with a grin.
Lloyd felt the chosen's hands slid down his neck, to his wait and to his hip's undoing his belting, then undoing his own with the rest of the clothing. Lloyd slammed into his lover. Thrusting deeply, roughly and very quickly.
"Ngh...it's like your hunting beast!~" Zelos moaned, pleasure surging through him.
"You're as hot as Explosion" Lloyd teased, going deeper.
Zelos moaned, digging his fingers into his lovers thick brown hair. Lloyd rammed the chosen in a slightly upward motion as to get deeper, farcing the redhead to bang against the cold metal.
"AAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhhh! Lloyd!~" Zelos moaned out loud, while Lloyd grunted "Zelos…!" in response to the chosen.
Slipping the chosen's headband down, letting it fall around his neck. His bangs fell to his face, feeling the hero's lips suck on his soft skin, leaving love bites all over his neck and chest area.
"Nh..ha….L-Lloyd...Lloyd….!" Zelos continued to moan.
"Nn….Zelos…!" Lloyd grunted before sucking on one of the chosen's nipples.
He gripped his lover's weapon tightly, however he moaned a bit himself when Zelos gripped his weapon in response.
"Z-Zelos…!" He moaned, pulling his head back.
"Heh...p-pretty good right?" Zelos said teasingly, on the brink of moaning again.
"S-Shut up" Lloyd said before thrusting harder.
"Haaaaaa!~~" Zelos was reaching his limit, feeling his partner reaching his own limit as he felt the large weapon twitch.
"Zelos, i'm...going to…" He grunted.
"Me to…" He huffed.
Both released. Zelos had made a mess all over himself and his lover, While Lloyd filled Zelos up to the brim, embracing him once more.
Embarrassingly, Lloyd ended up having to let Zelos clean him up, and afterwards, cleaned Zelos, both making sure not to fall off the Rheaird.
Lloyd continued to fly the Rheaird, although he was starting to feel more than ready for bed, whereas Zelos on the other hand felt almost reborn he felt so good.
"Bud, somehow i knew you would be the type to sleep right after roughhousing" He teased.
"S...Shut up" He yawned in reply. Zelos chuckled.
"How cute" He kissed his lover's cheek.
"Uh...sorry" Lloyd said.
"For what?" Zelos questioned.
"For doing it with you on a Rheaird in the middle of the sky" Lloyd said, scratching the back of his head, feeling embarrassed by it himself.
"Oh, that...yeah well, just don't do it again" Zelos flushed a red color.
"Heh, okay" Lloyd grinned. "And maybe next time we can do it in the hot springs" He continued to grin, red flushed cheeks as he thought about Zelos looking sexy and all wet.
"Lloyd, i never knew you were such an animal~" He wrapped his arms around the hero's neck, planting a kiss on his cheek. Lloyd grinned like a cute idiot.
It wasn't long before they finally reached Iselia. Lloyd landed the Rheaird, putting it away after him and Zelos hopped off, greeting the two on the big fenrir.
Lloyd questioned Emil, who was leaned so forward that his face was stuffed in the fenrir's main, while the taller man wasted no time in getting off and adjusting his glasses.
"Hey four eyes, what happened to Emil?" Zelos asked, narrowing his brows.
"Nothing." He simply said, walking on ahead.
"Ah!" Emil quickly sat up, cheeks burning red. "R-Richter-san, wait for me!" Emil jumped down, allowing the fenrir to return to his monster pocket and catching up to the half elf.
"Eh? What's with them?" Zelos looked at Lloyd.
"Hmm…" Lloyd's gut told him something happened, he just wasn't sure what.
"Now come on brave hero, let's go find your little buddy" Zelos grinned, before walking away.
"Ugh...don't remind me" Lloyd sighed, following his lover.
Once the four of them entered the village, they decided it would be a good idea to visit the school first...although Emil was feeling nervous for some reason.
"Emil, what's up?" Zelos asked.
"W-Well...i...i guess because it's a school and i had never been into one before…"
"But didn't you come in here before?" Zelos said.
"Y-Yeah...But i was too blinded by my hate towards Lloyd...so…" He lowered his head.
"Oh yeah….right, sorry" Zelos looked away a bit, remembering the slight anger he held towards Emil for that when they had first met…
"Come on, it'll be fine Emil" Lloyd smiled. "Now you can enjoy it for the first time"
"Lloyd….Y-Yeah!" He smiled.
"..." Richter would have just walked in, knowing Emil would have just followed and gotten over it.
"Hey Lloyd...we were here when he told Colette about us"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Why didn't we just tell them while we were here?"
"B-Because...um...i-i don't know" Lloyd scratched the back of his head. Zelos chuckled.
"Lloyd! Zelos! And even Emil!" Genis called out.
"Genis!" Lloyd smiled at his friend..
"Lloyd, what are you doing here? Colette said that you had left already." Raine said.
"Professor" Lloyd turned his attention to the women. "We did...But…" Lloyd trailed off.
"We forgot some things here, that's all" Zelos said, throwing an arm around Lloyd's neck.
Genis was always a bit jealous of Zelos secretly. Being tall like Lloyd, and most of all...being so close with him, being the special friend that got to travel with Lloyd...Genis had always thought that he and Lloyd were best friends, so why did he travel with Zelos over him? Why did he start leaving Genis out of battle over Zelos?
"Glad to see you two are at least doing well." Raine said.
"And what about you Emil? Where's marta?" Genis asked.
"Huh?" It only just now hit Emil that no else knew about him leaving her.
"Yes, where is she? I assume she would be here since the two of you were so close." Raine said, crossing her arms a bit.
"Y-Yeah...uh.."
"And why is that Jerk with you?" Genis questioned, surprised by the half elf.
Emil was panicking, when suddenly Richter voiced.
"...You must be professor Raine" Richter suddenly approached the women.
"Yes, i assume that Emil told you more about me then if you're asking."
"Yes." He simply replied, scanning the women Emil seems to find amazing.
"...What do you want?" She asked, narrowing her brows a bit.
"I simply just wish to know more about you." He explained.
"...I see." She rose a brow in question.
Genis continued to question Emil.
"Well?" Genis asked once more.
"U-Uh...i..i thought it would be nice if….we...split up" He said nervously.
"What? But i thought you liked Marta?"
"I-I do! But…" Emil glanced at Richter for a moment.
"Hey Genis, let's talk for a minute!" Lloyd butt in, pulling the half elf away from the the blond boy.
"Yeah shorty, we need to talk. You can talk to Emil later" Zelos walked with Lloyd who was dragging Genis outside.
"What? L-Lloyd, Zelos!" Genis flailed to escape. But only to end in vain.
Emil chuckled a bit at the sight of the three, just glad he didn't have to explain the hole leaving Marta for Richter thing.
The three stood outside, the two releasing the boy from their grasp. Genis looked at the two before sighing and crossing his arms.
"So what exactly did you guys want to talk about?" He asked.
"Well Lloyd, tell him" Zelos said, looking at his lover.
"U-Uh...well…" Lloyd wasn't sure what to say.
"Lloyd? What is it?" Genis asked, turning his view towards his friend.
"Well Genis...i'm in love" He cheeks turned a pink color.
"What!? You!? In love!? With you?" Genis couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Yeah Lloyd, who?" Zelos teased. Stand right next to him, he pulled the hero's arms behind him, allowing the hero to feel his ass.
Lloyd blushed, as it was hard to focus on his friend while also being focused on the chosen's ass. Genis could see any of it going on, but knew something was up.
"Uh…." Lloyd, slowly losing his train of thought as his hand continued to feel the soft but of his lover. Genis rose a brow.
"Lloyd, knock it off and just tell me" Genis losing his patients with the hero.
"Genis, Lloyd has fallen for the most, beautiful person in the world!" Zelos grinned.
"You mean...P-P-P-Presea!?" Genis shook in fear.
"Genis, calm down" Zelos sighed. "It's not Presea" Zelos explained. Genis sighed with relief...However, Genis always feared that Presea had liked Lloyd, because...it was always Lloyd that mine Presea smile the most.
"T-Then who?" Genis asked. "No wait...is it...Colette?"
"No! It's Z-" Lloyd quickly cut his words, as his cheeks flushed bright red.
"Z? You mean...ZELOS!?" Genis's jaw practically dropped.
"The one and only" Zelos winked, planting a kiss on the hero's cheek.
"..." Genis couldn't believe it...was he dead? Is this all just a horrible dream?
"Genis…" Worried for his friend, Lloyd patted his friend on the shoulder.
"Hey! Is Lloyd being with me that bad?" Zelos complained.
"Wow...Lloyd, i never thought that idiot chosen would end up being your boyfriend…" Genis tried to regain his composure.
"Yeah, but...in a way, i think i've always liked him, i just never quite understood those feelings"
"Well...i guess….i'm happy for you. As long as you're happy, i'm happy" Genis smiled.
"Thank you Genis...that means a lot" He smiled.
"I knew you weren't so bad twerp!" Zelos patted the boy's back before throwing an arm around Lloyd's neck
"But you better not do anything to hurt Lloyd" Genis glared.
"Hahaha! Relax Genis, I'm as loyal as a dog" Zelos grinned. Lloyd sighed, knowing that Genis would be outraged if he knew that Zelos still flirted with girls, however it's only for the Gald Gel's and other such things...at least, that's what Zelos said, and he trusts Zelos….That and Zelos isn't exactly ready for the world to see them together. But Lloyd understood this well.
"Well, i guess we better tell the prof-" Just before Lloyd could finish his words. Emil came running out of the school. Not long after Emil was Richter and Raine giving chase.
"Emil?" Zelos a bit surprised by the three.
"Emil? Professor?" Lloyd also surprised and confused.
"Sis?"
"Emil!" Lloyd suddenly ran off to take chase to the four.
"L-Lloyd!" Zelos followed.
"Oh sure, leave me behind...Wait for me!" Genis complained before also giving chase.
Lloyd couldn't understand why Emil was in such a hurry...But something told him that his friend was more upset than he had ever been.
"Emil!" Richter called out.
"Emil come back!" Lloyd called out as well, noticing that Emil was headed towards the village exit.
"Emil-cahn, let's talk about this!" Zelos said, ready to fall over..
Raine and Genis behind as they try to catch their breath, both not made for this kind of running.
Emil could hear the other's calling to him...But he continued to run.
"What did you do to him!?" Lloyd shot a glare at the half elf, as they ran.
"You think i did this? You aren't very bright." Richter scoffed, trying to focus on running.
"Hey, it's not like you've ever given us a reason to like you" Zelos also shot a glare.
"Think what you will. But i need to find Emil" He said, looking away from the two.
"..." Lloyd let it go, as he was also worried for Emil.
Emil came to a halt at a big tree, As Ratatosk was done letting Emil be emotional…He realized something...something selfish of him deep down...
"Huff….Huff….Emil-chan, y-you okay" Zelos huffed, falling over, trying to catch his breath.
"Emil...what's going on?" Lloyd asked.
"Emil, explain yourself." Richter stood next to lloyd, eyeing the boy.
"...Shut up!" Ratatosk turned around to face the three, glaring as he drew his sword.
"..." Richter narrowed his his brows.
"O-Oi! Why are you pointing your sword at us!?" Zelos asked, surprised by the boy.
"Emil, talk to us!" Lloyd said.
"Shut up!" He looked at Richter. "Fight me." He glared.
"...What's the meaning of this?" Richter rose a brow.
"I-It doesn't matter!" He growled.
"...Very well then." Richter drew his weapons.
"What!?" Lloyd looked at the half elf, glaring.
"Hey, let's not fight guy's" Zelos said, waving his hands in front of him a bit.
"If he want's to fight then i'll fight. You two just stay out of it." Richter said, walking towards the boy, weapons ready.
Lloyd didn't like the idea. But he tried to have faith that maybe Richter had an idea, or maybe even knew what was causing Emil to act this way.
"Alright…" Lloyd wanted to have faith in the man...because Emil loved him.
"Lloyd…" Zelos held Lloyd's hand.
"Let's hurry up and get this over with." Richter scoffed.
"I couldn't agree more!" Ratatosk came at him. As the two were fighting and clashing with each other, Richter realized something...in all the times they had faced off against each other...Emil wasn't just losing out of the lack of strength. But because...he was hesitating to hurt him...and yet, he on the other hand never really held back when fighting the boy...
"Enough!" Richter swung the heavier hand axe, breaking the boy's guard and slashing him down with his sword.
"AGH!" Ratatosk cried, falling over, bleeding in a multiple places.
Lloyd hated not being able to do a thing, and was only able to continue to watch thanks to Zelos holding his hand the hole time. Zelos found it hard to watch…
"D-Damn…" He grunted, trying to sit up.
"What are you doing fighting all of a sudden? Much less holding back." He scolded.
"S-Shut up…!" He threw his sword, only to miss by a long shot.
"Now stop acting childish and talk. "He scoffed, staring down the boy.
"Why….Why can't i win!?" He yelled, shutting his eyes tightly as he dug his nails into the earth.
"..." Richter continued to watch the boy.
"And you...you would have killed me a long time ago if it wasn't for all of these people around me, along with this face you love so much!" He glared, holding back the tears.
" !?..." Richter was shocked to hear this, as his eyes widen for a moment.
"I mean, you would have done anything for Aster, even killing me…!" Ratatosk shook, unable to hold back the thin stream of tears.
"Emil…" Richter now understood the boy's reason for lashing out.
"E-Even if we had been friend, you would have still loved him more then me..!" Red eyes softened to green,dropped their gaze to the ground, tears streaming down his face.
"..." Richter wasn't sure what to say.
"Even after all the time we spent...all the feelings i had for you….you honestly tried to kill me for Aster...you...you even admitted that it was only my face that stopped you before….." He cried harder, putting his hands to his face.
"Emil…" Richter didn't know what to say...Emil had been right, it was all true….But was it still true anymore? Richter had decided to let go of Aster, letting him rest in peace...though it's not like he had much of a choice…
Lloyd and Zelos looked away, feeling the pain for their friend. There was nothing they could say...
"I felt like such a monster for killing Aster...b-but after coming to love you so much...i...i feel more like i monster then i did before, because i….i started thinking…maybe...maybe i was better off killing aster to be where i am now with you…!" He sobbed.
"I-I've never felt this way before...a-and i it's wrong of me to even think such a thing...especially because i know how much you loved Aster…" Sobbing, the boy explained hidden and hurt feelings that he had been bottling up for so long.
"..." Richter would have normally been angry hearing the summon spirit say such a thing about killing Aster...But...He had come to love the summon spirit, and enjoyed the time he spent with both sides of his personality's...in fact, Richter sometimes forgot his goal in killing Ratatosk because he enjoyed his time with Emil so much, feeling so carefree and...Happy.
Richter kneeled down to the boy, and wrapped his arms around him.
The boy had a surprised look on his face.
"Emil….I loved and always will love Aster...But...But if losing him means being able to make all of these new and wonderful memories with you...then...i don't regret a single moment."
"R-Richter-san…..?" Emil couldn't believe what Richter was saying.
"Emil...I will always treasure Aster...But maybe knowing him was just a big part of leading up to this moment...to meeting you."
"R….Richter-san you…." The boy clung to the man's coat, looking up at him with a runny face.
"I love you Emil…" He wiped the boy's tears, and held his face gently before kissing him.
Emil returned the kiss, so many feelings overflowing.
Lloyd and Zelos both shared a smile, relieved and happy for the two, knowing that it would be okay to leave the two be, and silently made their exit and returned to Genis and Raine.
"I'm glad…that ended so well" Zelos said.
"Yeah, i guess...i'm glad i put my faith in Richter" Lloyd said, smiling a bit.
"Yeah, who'd a thought that guy would actually have a heart behind that cold ice" Zelos said jokingly, receiving a small chuckle from Lloyd.
"Lloyd." Rained greeted them. "What happened with Emil?" She said. But her eyes glanced at the two hands clasped together.
"Richter, he…" Lloyd closed his eyes for a moment. "Emil's going to be just fine" He smiled.
"I see...and is there anything else you would like to tell me?" She said, staring at Lloyd's hand that was rubbing Zelos's as they continued to stay clasped together.
"Huh? O-Oh...that" Lloyd blushed.
"I Knew my beautiful honey would be jealous" Zelos said dramatically.
"Well?" She rose a brow.
"Well, you see sis...Lloyd and Zelos are going out" Genis said.
"G-Genis!" Lloyd growled a bit.
"I…..I see….." She said. "I just…...well….i suppose that i'm….happy for you" Pale as a ghost, Raine tried to be supportive of her student, although it's not like she didn't see how close they were two years ago.
After waiting a bit for Emil and Richter to return, Raine ended up letting Emil and Richter stay at her and Genis's place for the night, while Lloyd and Zelos stayed at Dirk's place. They all said their goodbyes, since they would be splitting up in the morning, and knowing how little Richter cared for any of them...sadly. They knew Richter and Emil would be the first to leave in the morning.
"Hey dad, i'm back again" Lloyd grinned.
"Again boy? Well, just as long as you two remember the rule" He said, as he hammered a piece of iron, which looked to be a sword.
"Yeah, Lloyd. Remember the rules" Zelos nudged his lover, reminding him about the last time they were here. Lloyd flushed a bright red.
"I-I know" Lloyd looked away, as Dirk seemed to be catching on to them.
"A-Anyway, i want have something i want to do" ?Lloyd said before heading upstairs into his room. Zelos watched him, slightly confused since Lloyd didn't tell him anything about having plans for the night...so what was he to do?
"S-So…" Zelos watched Dirk craft.
"Look pretty boy"
"Zelos" He corrected.
"Look, Zelos. I know my son likes you and all. But don't even think about doing anything dirty under my roof, or you'll be sleeping under my hammer" Dirk said, suddenly seeming like a huge buff as dwarf as Zelos nervously nodded.
"I-I understand mr Dirk, you have my word" Zelos smiled, afraid for his life.
"Good, because i heard from Lloyd how perverted you are." He said, going back to his hammering.
"Well um...i'll leave you to your work" Zelos smiled before making a quick exit out of the house...He looked at the night sky for a moment before heading towards Anna's grave.
"Hey...Lloyd must really mean alot to you right? After all...you sounded like a really loving mother...so i want to be straight with you. Lloyd means a lot to me too...He believed in me when no one else could hardly even smile at me, He even spoiled me with nothing melon fruit cocktails after i told him i liked melons" He chuckled a bit.
"He told me he wanted me to live...to stay by him, and that he would be too worried about me wanting to do while fighting Mithos and even lose because...because of how worried he would have been for me...He saved me, he made me never want to run away" He smiled.
"So i hope you don't mind. But, i plan on staying with your son for as long as i live...Of course i promise to make him happy" Zelos put a hand to the grave stone.
"I'm also starting to see how Kratos knocked you up with him so easily. That boy of yours has some skill that took me at least a week to get at" He flushed red.
"Heh, i bet Kratos swooped a beauty like you off your feet too. The moment i started traveling with Lloyd, i found myself wanting to just...follow him to the ends of the earth" He chuckled.
"Anyway, i-" Before Zelos could finish, He heard a voice call him "Zelos!" Turning around, he saw Lloyd approach him with a smile on his face.
"Honey, what took you so long? I almost ran off with another women" Zelos said, obviously joking. But still managed to make Lloyd feel a little jealous.
"Sorry, just had to get some stuff real quick" He smiled.
"Well, next time tell me you got plans before leaving me with that scary dwarf" Zelos complained.
"Haha, alright" Lloyd took Zelos hand and turned to the grave stone.
"Hey mom, just wanted to say that i met the love of my life like you did" He flushed a pink color.
"Lloyd" Zelos flushed a bit.
"I love Zelos, so i hope that you're okay with that" He said. Turning to Zelos, he wrapped his arms around him, planting a kiss on his lips. Zelos returned the kiss and put his arms around his lover's neck, slightly embarrassed by how much Lloyd seemed to be the man in their relationship, more so than he originally thought.
