Oh yes...
Seven AM, thinking about you
Wondering if the thoughts I'm feeling you feeling too.
Like a newborn child, soft to the touch
Baby, is it possible to love someone so much, mmm...
I wish, I may,
I wish, I might be that certain someone
You wish for every night
If you knew what I knew
You wouldn't say what you said
If you knew what I knew
We'd be together instead
Of you breaking my heart
(Breaking my heart)
With things that aren't true
My lady, yes, (My lady, yes, my lady)
If you knew what I knew
Ah...Ah...Ah..
Ahhh...
Time passes by
The only tears I cry
Are filled with this illusion
Fears I have inside
Like a lost soul
I feel like I'm all alone
(All alone)
If only I could feel your pain

I can't help but to roll my eyes as I watch my teammates and fellow B Squad cadets. The two of them have been driving me nuts for months now with the way they've been acting around each other. It's like they've reverted to twelve-year-olds instead of the seventeen and twenty-year-olds they are.
Ever since Sky started ignoring Syd last year, and treating her like crap, Syd's reverted to being a major pain in all our butts. She's crabby, whiney, and snobbish when we're around each other in public, while in private I see the intelligent, caring woman she really is. And I lay the blame at Sky's feet.
You see, my stubborn, pig-headed, stuck on being Red Ranger roommate, who is currently staring Syd from the corner of his eye as he sits on the couch working on his model airplane, is in love with our equally stubborn, whiney, SPD Princess. And right now, they're both driving me nuts because they're trading insults. This isn't new, but what no one else sees is that they are so in love with each other it's unreal.
The three of us have sort of developed a routine lately. We're nasty, snide and grouchy with each other in public, but in private, we all soften just a bit. Sky gets less critical of Syd's performances in training, even if he won't cop to it or even acknowledge it. Syd's less whiney and more thoughtful. And me, I can stop being a grouch because my powers aren't going wonky on me as much when they're being nice to each other. Unfortunately, those instances are far and few between lately.
I can't help but smirk now. Sky's watching where he's painting his model now while Sydney sits at her easel, brush in hand, her eyes focused on something over the top of the canvas. I can only smirk when I realize it's Sky she's staring so intently at; Syd's been working on the painting for a few weeks now, having to rely on her memory and stolen glances at her subject. If Sky only knew what she was working on, he'd freak out.
Sitting here, feeling whatever they're feeling, I can only wonder how much longer before Sydney will finally break through all of Sky's shells. My female teammate is already aware that she's in love with our unofficial squad leader, while Sky's either aware and fighting being in love with her, or he really has now clue. Either way, I'm going to strangle them soon.
"Stop whining!" I hear him hiss at her.
"Stop being a jack ass!" Syd shoots back before turning and stomping out of the room.
Yeah, this routine is getting old. I think I'll strangle Sky first.
