Disclaimer: I don't own Candidate For Goddess! NOOOOOO!

A/n: This has yaoi in it. So blah! Also...what is up with authors putting girls as candidates? Only guys have EO blood, (Exception of Teela) if you make a girl have EO, there's a mary-sue right there.

Is told from Clay's point of view. (I know this probably would never happen in a million years, but eh.)

I see you look at him. With that look in your eyes that's hiding something. But I know what it is. I see right through you.

How your eyes sparkle. Just for him and him only.

The fact that you two are very skilled and brave, only makes it worse. Clay. The chicken. Or the nerd. That's all I'll ever be.

I chuckle dryly at myself. We're so different. In so many ways.

You're more outgoing and confident. Perfect. Beautiful. On the brink of adonis status. While I am lanky, non-athletic, and fearful.

My anger at myself has overwhelmed me at times. Why can't I be like you? Why can't I be like you're heart's holder?!

You know that feeling? The feeling of wanting something you can never have? You tell yourself that, but it only makes what you want that much more desirable.

My EX is nothing compared to some others. Sure, I'm smart, but you don't seem to notice.

And then that fateful battle. You lost him. Slowly, you lost him. I felt like rejoicing, but then I felt like crying along with you. To comfort you, if you needed it.

But you never came. You never did.

The other candidates saw it. Zero's not as dense as you think. Hiead caught on quickly. So did the others. They found out.

I love you, Gareas.

So much it hurts.

A/n: WHOA! Caught ya off guard there, eh?
