Time for a oneshot! I've never done one before, but this idea just came to me once, and I just had to write it. People who don't like the couple shouldn't read, I guess. For a timeline, I guess you could stick it in before the actual events of Tales of Symphonia.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Tales of Symphonia, or any of its characters or other related material. Poor me...
Unknown to the Other.
The beautiful ninja assassin Sheena stood in the main hub of the beautiful city of Meltokio. She never forgot to stop and appreciate it's beauty, even if her reason for visiting was urgent. It just had this attraction about it, that drew you in until you had to stop and look at your surroundings. It was always breathtaking.
Sheena wished it would all go away.
All the ourity of the buildings, the happy atmosphere, it all mocked her internal feelings, of despair and unhappiness. The main reason? The man standing only some yards away, although surrounded by what appeared to be every girl in Meltokio, and half a dozen who weren't. Although the man was obscured by all these girls, Sheena new it was the Chosen One, Zelos Wilder.
Everyone who ever saw them when they talked to each other would think that she despised everything about him, because she was always yelling at him for his comments, especially the ones about his so-called "hunnies." The real truth was, Sheena didn't like his playboy attitude because she wanted his affection to be turned only towards herself. She wanted to be the only "hunny" Zelos wanted.
'But let's face it. It'll never happen.' she thought sadly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zelos looked around at all the girls crowding around him. Although outwardly he acted as if he loved all the attention, inwardly, he really didn't care. All these girls affection for him was no more real than the love his own parents had for each other. They all wanted him for his title, more than anything, be it his skills, his intellect, or his looks, however good they were. They all wanted to be "The Chosen One's girl."
All except one.
Zelos didn't always used to be a charmer, even with his title. As a kid, he always spent his time thinking about a single girl. The one girl he ever truly liked, more than anyone else. He'd have done anything, anything, to attract that assassin, Sheena Fujibayashi. However, after several disasterous first attempts, in which he usually ended with a slap mark on his face, and sometimes something spilled on his clothes, he seemed to give up on it.
Soon, girls began to flock to him, once he changed from a depressed mood, and used the same tactics used on Sheena on other girls. But it was all a mask. Zelos never really cared for any of them, just as they never really cared for him. Try as he might to forget, Sheena still stuck out in his mind.
It was ironic, really. Zelos, the Chosen, charmer of girls from the entire world, had trouble charming just one single woman. Almost every day, including this one, he just wished that all the other girls would leave him alone, so that he could once again concentrate on Sheena. Maybe she had changed from all those years ago.
'But let's face it. It'll never happen.' he thought dissappointedly.

AUTHOR'S NOTE
It's short, I know, but it is my first oneshot, and they're never really that long either, unless people place spaces between sentences a lot, or use a lot of talking.
Anyway, I really hope you enjoyed this oneshot! R&R, please! See ya!
