YUA: Ok, despite not having a lot of reviews for this one, I still think
that this was one of my favorite stories to write. I like Dart and Shana
pairngs, so I might do more of them in the future! And a big thanks to all
of my reviewers! ^___^

No Time For You

"Dart? Is everything okay?"
"Shana...when did we first meet?" She curled up, holding her knees against her chest, trying to recall.
"At...at the market. Our eyes met, and we just became friends from then on."
"What...what sparked your interest towards me?"
"This isn't like you. Talking about your past and feelings. What's bothering you, Dart?"
"Answer me. Please."
"I don't know. Something about you...you seemed...mischievous...you seemed like a troublemaker. As soon as you saw me, something lit in your eye."
"What about that time in the forest? Remember that?"
"With that wild cat? Yeah, I thought I was gonna get hurt! But then you come in save me! Just like you.." We both share a brief laugh, and I get up off the bed, pacing back and forth in front of her.
"Well? What's the matter?" She swings her legs out over the side of the bed.
"I was just thinking..."
"What about?"
"...What..."
"Yes?"
"What...am I to you?"
"What are...? Well, I've always seen you as a close friend..."
"Hm..."
"Now answer me."
"Wha---?"
"Tell me. What is bothering you so much as to wake you up? At this hour, no less. C'mon, you can tell me. I want you to tell me. It's what I'm here for." The fire in my heart is raging now, big enough to burn down Seles again. But my eyes are threatening to douse the flames. I can feel tears beginning to flood my eyes...
"I been wanting to say this for a while now..." I'm staring right at her, and I see her bottom lip is trembling a little bit...does she know what I'm about to say?
"Then say it." Her eyes are shimmering...she must have a few tears coming. Then she must know what's coming.
"Shana...I...I.."
"Say it."
"I love you...Shana." Those words fed the burning fire, fanning the flames, and nothing could put it out. He corners of her mouth are twitching, forming a slight smile. But it quickly fades, and her face is solemn, making me wonder if my dream is going to be reality.
"Dart...I..."She slowly gets up from the bed, holding her face in her hands, crying. I didn't mean to hurt her. Is that what I did?
"What took you so long?!" The next second, she's burying her face into my chest, pounding with her fists. I...I didn't mean to hurt her so much...
"Why did it take you so long to say that?!"
"Shana, I'm sorry..."
"No! Answer me! Why did it take so long?!"
"I...I was..."
"Answer me Dart!"
"I was afraid." She stops pounding my chest, but is still sobbing, and by now my chest is soaked from her crying.
"Dart...I...I thought..."
"Shana?"
"I thought you had no time for me!"
"Hey, hey! No, don't say that!" She's still against my chest, so I take a chance and wrap my arms around her. She seems to calm down a little bit...
"Say it again."
"What?"
"Say it again...please."
"I love you Shana."
"Dart..." There it is again. She didn't just say my name. She reached her arms around me, and I made the embrace tighter, not wanting to let go.
"I love you too." I've been waiting an equal amount of time to hear those words...a tear slips out and runs down my face. Just a single, solitary tear. She looked up, seeing that lone tear, and smiled. I don't know why, but a question slipped out...
"Can I...?"
"Must you ask?" She stood on her toes to meet my face, and closed the space in between our lips. A surge rushed through me, different than the others. A surge of want, care, and love. This is what she's been waiting for. All of our stress and hurt washed away, although, I could still sense a few tears rolling down her face. She broke the kiss, taking a quick breath, and resumed resting on my chest. My arms still wrapped around her figure, I started rocking gently, as if swaying in the wind. She let out another sob.
"Shh, shhhh...what's wrong?"
"N-Nothing..." I know that right now, Albert is either smiling in his sleep or he's standing by the door, smiling to himself. I know I'll be going to sleep happy, now.

YUA: Ah, there we go. A hopeless romantic...yeah, I fit the bill. Bah, so what? It's not a bad thing...is it? Don't think so...hmmm..Oh! Oh! I'll be coming out with a Lavitz/Rose fic is the near future a.k.a. maybe in a few weeks. It was a request by a friend of mine on AOL IM (I don't own it). So, it's for her! ^___^
