Chapter Two: The Bonded Dream

"Mr. Alien, do you believe in destiny?" asked Dita as she set her dread into a cruise, Hibiki through for a moment as he glided at Dita's side. In truth, he really didn't believe in destiny since his life never had depended in it. He felt that destiny was something people say when they can't predict their own life's.

"Mr, Alien?" she said. Hibiki snapped out of his thought and shot a quick glance at her dread.

"Yeah, whatever." he said without thinking. He didn't want to explain to her that destiny wasn't in his vocabulary. "So, what's wrong? I know that you didn't act the way you just did because you just wanted to ask me that?" he said. Dita smiled, a new feeling came over her. Even though Hibiki was somewhat a jerk at times, she quickly realized that she could talk to him about anything. This being one of them.

"Um, do you ever take the time to think that just maybe... even though we came from different planets and have different origins, that we could be together? Like that thing Misty likes to say... boyfriend and girlfriend?" she stuttered through her sentences. Maybe what she said was a little too suggestive. She had expected Hibiki to start yelling but instead she heard a slight laugh. She blushed, was he laughing at her? Hibiki couldn't but help but laugh, not because of her question but for her serious tone that never really sounded like her personality. No, to him it was just a nervous tick.

"I'm not laughing at you if that's what you're thinking. It's just funny that you mention that, you see. I couldn't sleep because I had a dream about us." he said rubbing his head, he sounded very stupid when he was trying to keep his cool. Dita felt her heart nearly jump out of her chest when he finished, an immediate spark went off in her mind.

"Did you say 'dream'?" she asked.

"Yeah?" he answered.

"Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about, I also had a dream. If by any chance, does this dream include the destruction of the Nirvana?" she said. Hibiki nearly froze from that, it took him all of 5 seconds to analyze the question and to think it over.

"Wait a second? Don't tell me you had the same dream?" he said.

"Uh-huh. I remember it so well, I can even remember the very last syllables you spoke to me as if it actually happened. It's strange, it didn't feel like a dream more like an old memory." she spoke. Hibiki disregarded the last few words, and focused more on "the last few syllables you to spoke to me" part. He knew what he was going to say, hopefully she didn't catch on to it.

"Is it true? Hibiki?" she said finally. Wow, she actually called him by his name. He shut his eyes and hoped for the best.

"What?" he spoke in a whisper hoping she didn't hear it.

"What you said in that dream? Do you... love me?" she said. Hibiki's vanguard stopped in space, Dita noticed the sudden mood change and stopped her dread which was tailing him. Deep silence separated the two, making the recent conversation vanish with time. Hibiki stared at his controls, he felt his blood rush rapidly into his cheeks as he struggled to find the right words to say. Besides feeling intensely embarrassed he had another feeling dwelling inside him that he couldn't explain. Maybe he should call this moment, destiny. The trouble was he couldn't show this new emotion, he said the only thing that popped into his head.

"I... I don't know." he spoke. He couldn't see Dita's face from where he was but he knew she was disappointed, his new feeling faded away. This was the most awkward 15 minutes of his life. Before he could say anything else, he spotted Dita's dread speeding off back to the Nirvana. She must have been upset, he could blame her. He knew she was trying to win his affection, only that he didn't know how to handle it.

He arrived back in the men's quarters shortly after, wondering if he would run into Dita on his way there. He came to his bed which was still messy but this time, a heart shaped card laid neatly on it. He inched towards it, a curious look pasted stupidly on his face. He sat next to the card and eyed it suspiciously, on its face was scribbled "To You" in a italic font. He grazed it with his finger, he didn't want to open it. For whatever reason, he felt it was best if he didn't. Screw that. He picked up the card and opened it, the card was rather plain as the only thing was written was, "Meet me in my room". He tossed it over his shoulder. Dita was getting much harder to figure out, especially after his nightmare. He remembered, just moments before his dream had ended he remembered holding onto Dita, the feeling he had talking with Dita in his vanguard was present as that time as well. With the exception that he felt very comfortable with it. Love was a hard thing to show, especially to the opposite gender.

He walked slowly to the other end of the Nirvana keeping a constant look out for Misty, she had a tendency to stalk him without knowing it. Luckily, he hadn't seen her as he made his way to the Women's quarters. He turned a few corners and went down a few corridors until he reached his destination. He stepped in and spotted Dita sitting on her bed, her hands rested neatly on her lap. She looked up and gave him a weak smile before motioning for him to enter.

"What do you want?" he asked crossing his arms.

"I just thought we should talk more about this, sit here." she said patting an empty space next to her. He was reluctant at first but after looking into her beautiful yet pleading eyes he gave in. He sat but when he did, she moved closer to him. Her face very close to his. She closed her eyes and leaned in, there was no way to avoid this. He leaned his head away but found that she was coming closer, with that Misty entered through the door. A sad look displayed on her face.

Holy crap. To tell the truth this was unplanned, but as they say. An author tends to get caught up in their own story. Review. And if you don't mind send some likes and dislikes.
