Shed Some Light On My Hidden Love

Chap2

A western shinma returning to old grounds in search of a lost friend. Walking through the deserted town destroyed by shinma turning beings into zombies. At the end of the town's boundaries is the sea. The part of the sea that Garline's ship travels often.

The wind laps upon Lava's robes as he comes upon the edges of the shore. Salted air breezes through his hair and thoughts of Garline cross his mind, as a voice from behind beckons him.

"I had a feeling you would come back," a woman's voice says.

Lava turns around to see Lilith standing there.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were to be with Miyu." Lava questioned.

She smirked at him, "You silly fool you. If you had looked closer. If you had only looked closer."

"What do you mean?" Lava asked as he raised his eyebrow confused.

Lilith laughed, " Miyu has no feelings for me. It was only a pass time, I had confused her feeble mind to thinking it liked me. Never you mind about that. I came here to visit Garline. He misses you, you know that."

"I thought you said that he kicked you off because he had no need of you."

"Actually I had a plan to get you two to see each other again. But it always seemed like you both were too stubborn. So I had made that ruse to bring you here. I had a feeling you would come here. Of course Garline doesn't know that I have done this."

"Why should I trust you?"

"I guess you don't have to. But I have a feeling you will. Because you know you want to see him, as he does you." Lilith smiled.

"You think you know everything. Well then you don't know me. I am going back." Lava started walking away, back towards Miyu.

She frowned and ran after Lava, " Oh no you don't. Stop!"

"What do you want?" Lava glared at her.

Lilith took out her flute and started playing a song. The notes filled Lava's head and ringed through his ears. Lava clasped his hands over his ears and fell down to his knees. Struggling he closed his eyes and his body went limp.

"Poor Lava.I was hoping it wouldn't have to be this way. If only you would have went to see Garline the easy way. I am getting tired of him acting all depressed and its all because of you, you meany. Now your going to at the least meet with Garline and make happy happy with him. I don't mind if you just meet with him to make him happy and then leave, but your going to make Garline happy if even for a little bit." Lilith began dragging Lava towards the sea, "Now let us be off now."

Lava woke to find himself on the deck of a ghost ship. Getting up he removes his mask. Lava looks around and sees no one and nothing. Then spots upward on the sail, Lilith staring at him.

"You have issues lady." Lava glared at her.

"I know, but you'll thank me later." Lilith winked at him.

"What is it you intend for me to do?" he questioned.

"Just talk with Garline. he doesn't know I forced you here." She smiled.

"I see. so I figure you don't want me to tell him that bit. So after I speak with him, you'll not force me here again?" Lava raised his eyebrow in question.

"Of course. I just want Garline to be happy. Now go down to the Captain's Quarters and make happy happy with him before I make the crew of this ship take battlement on you." Lilith waited for Lava to move.

Lava shrugged and moved towards the Captain's Quarters. Went through the door and looked down at the figure sitting at the desk in front of him. Garline looked up and his glorious violet eyes twinkled in delight. His middle length hair tied back and his tidy suit shaped him perfectly.

"Lava. So you've come back to the western side? Lilith told me you've come to visit. I am thrilled you have come back to join the crew again. It hasn't been the same with out you." Garline got up from his chair and walked over.

"I am sorry you were misinformed. I have only come to visit not to stay." Lava glanced down ward to hide his sadness.

"I understand." Garline turned slightly and Lava caught the smell of his aroma.

Garline smelled of musk sweetly dulled by the sea air. He looked away and walked over to a chair across from another seat.

"Care to sit?" Garline asked.

Lava walked over to sit beside him.

"I have something to tell you." Garline said.

Lava only stared at him waiting. He wore the same expressionless look he usually always had.

"I miss you, it has been a long time since we once roamed the seas together."

"It has been a long time." Lava stated in a solemn sounding voice and yet his expression changed slightly.

"I just have something important to say to you." Garline's voice began getting softer and quieter.

Lava leaned in to hear.

Garline mumbled something and Lava said, "What?"

Garline leaned in and mumbled again. Lava at the same time leaned in and each bumped one another in the head.

"Ouch." Both said in unison.

Garline moved and pressed his lips to Lava's. A gentle peck and went to slid back into his chair. Lava blinked and before Garline could move back pursued his lips. Both latched their arms around each other. Lava realized what he had done and recoiled.

"I must be off now." Lava got up from his chair and began to turn around.

"I am sorry. I should not have done that." Garline apologized.

"You may have given me a peck but I am the one who had just sucked on your face. I should be apologizing." Lava said expressionlessly.

"Do you.do you?"

"Do I what?" Lava asked.

"Do you have. feelings for me Lava? That was what I was trying to say to you was that I had feelings for you." Garline's violet eyes stared up at Lava.

"I.I don't know what I have. I've got to go. I'll leave in the morning. Maybe I'll see you some other time." Lava turned and walked out the door to sleep upon the upper deck.
