A/N: Okay, I am going to have to temporarily up the rating to PG-13 to make up for Zelos. Also, as I am writing this before the actual story, I really don't have much clue as to what I am going to be doing. –Insert several minute pause- Well; I just got an idea that might work. So, I had better start before I lose it.
For the moment, I am alone. Don't have any shallow girls throwing themselves at me in an attempt to get with child so that I will be forced to marry them. Not that they ever will, mind you. That's because I can't, have kids I mean. Every last seed in me is dead. When I think about it though, that may be a good thing. I wouldn't make too good a father; or a husband. And you know what? That part of me, the one that realizes that, really envies Lloyd; because he'll be both. Watching him spin around the dance floor with Sheena, it's pretty easy to see just how much he loves her; and also just how much she loves him.
Looking back on the first time that our little group of heroes found out about them, the others were so ridiculously worried about my reaction. Come on, I may be a rich playboy, but I am not the type to go into a maddening fury of jealousy. Not that I'm not a little jealous mind you. I mean, come on, did you expect me not to be? I've been trying for years to get into Sheena's pants, and then along comes Lloyd and gets her to fall in love with him without even trying. It's enough to infuriate a guy. But it doesn't, because their good for each other. I think I realized that the first time I met Lloyd. His personality, the way he fought so hard to help his half-elf friends, I knew that he would be perfect for her. The only problem was that he was too dense to see it on his own.
That's where I came into the picture. I began to step up my pursuit of Sheena, all the while trying to get my oblivious bud to notice the more attractive sex. And I'll be damned if it didn't work. Within a couple of weeks, Lloyd was coming to me and trying to subtly ask me how to pick up chicks. Even if there was only one that he was interested in. Not that he knew it at that time, mind you. Then, it started happening, Lloyd began pulling away from my cute little angel and started getting closer to my voluptuous hunnie. Not that she was complaining, no, she was getting just as close to him. And look where they are now.
Whoa! That's weird. They were dancing just a second ago. I'll ask around and find out where they went. Wait, never mind asking, I found them. They've headed outside; guess they wanted some quality time alone with each other. Huh, wow, is it really that late all ready? Must have been thinking longer than I had thought. Hmm, no matter, guess I'll just have to hurry up and find someone to spend the night with. Now let's see, who should I…whoa, better scratch that thought. I wasn't the only one to see them leave. Gah, that's the only bad thing about Lloyd and Sheena being together. It's broken poor Collette's heart. Guess I'll be spending the night making sure she has someone near her. And not like that, either. Geez, come on, even I have some morals. Oh well, there's always tomorrow to get laid. I'll just have to make up for tonight, too.
A/N: Well, before you ask, they were at a ball being held to commemorate the re-unification of the two worlds. Note, also, that I am not really thrilled with this chapter, but I think I'll live. I figured that this one would be about the hardest to write. Possibly second to Collette's, but only because I severely hate angst. But that isn't because of the way I felt he would react. But more because of his 'player' status. That meant that there had to be conflicting feelings running through him and that I would have to decide which of the feelings would win out, while finding a way to give the other it's time in the spotlight. Anyway, the next chapter should be better, I hope. And it should be out by tomorrow morning. Thanks.
