In Public
"Zelos, people are watching!"
The redhead just smiled and leaned in to kiss Lloyd again. The last kiss had landed on Lloyd's ear since the brown-haired had turned his head the last second.
"So?"
Lloyd pushed at his boyfriend's shoulder, trying to keep those seductive lips away from him. His other hand was caught by Zelos, entwining their fingers.
"Zelos! They're looking at us!"
"And? I don't mind."
"Well, I do!"
The pair was standing in the middle of Meltokio's many streets, people passing all the time. Zelos leaned backwards, away from Lloyd.
"It bother's you?" he asked, one eyebrow levitating. The brown eyed looked away, a hint of red tainting his cheeks.
"Yes…"
Zelos let go of Lloyd's hand, detangling their fingers and crossing his arms over his chest.
"Are you ashamed of me? Of us?"
Brown orbs darted to blue gems, only to turn away again.
"No…"
"Then what's the problem..?!" Zelos wheezed, trying to hold his temper and not cause a scene. He was an emotional person, and more than ever so when it was something that had to do with Lloyd.
"I… I… But what will they think of us?" Lloyd whispered, staring down into the ground.
Zelos snarled.
"Who? The total strangers passing us in the street?"
The redhead immediately regretted his words. His tone had been sharper than he'd intended, and has seen Lloyd wince. Blue eyes softened and he carefully placed his hands on the other's shoulders.
"Lloyd, hun, I'm sorry, I didn't mean…"
The brown-haired flung his arms around Zelos, burying his face in the Chosen's shoulder. Zelos put his arms around Lloyd's neck and slowly stroke his hair.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to force you into anything, okay?"
Lloyd made a small sound and nodded. An older couple was looking oddly at then, and Zelos gave them a long look before returning his attention towards the young man in his arms.
"It's just that I want everyone to know that you're mine. You have no idea how many times I've had to
stop myself from grabbing you in the middle of the street and kiss you."
Lloyd laughed a little and momentarily tightened his arms.
"Okay?"
Lloyd nodded again and they let go of each other.
"It's okay with me if you don't want to, hun." Zelos said, not making any attempt to touch the other.
Lloyd stepped close and wound his arms around the redhead's neck, smiling.
"But… here I was, standing and changing my mind," Lloyd whispered. Zelos smiled widely and placed his hands on the other's hips.
"Sounds perfectly fine with me… And you know, people should just be happy for us. Their Chosen's gone monogamous, they should dance with joy."
Lloyd smiled before their lips met, there, in the middle of the street.
