A/N: Just so everyone knows, the only reason Sheena didn't chase after Lloyd is because she was still cooking the dinner. Plus, she was…well you'll find out here.

After the meal, Lloyd found that he had no light to unroll his pad. He would have no way of knowing where the rocks were until he lay on them, making it impossible to get comfortable. Finally, he decided he would just sleep by the fire. There was enough light there to pick out the rocks and branches.

Picking up his stuff, he headed to the light, only to find the spot had already been taken. He gulped. It was Sheena.

As quietly as he could, he tried to tiptoe away, hoping to not wake her. Sheena had been awake already and had been waiting for him.

"Get back here, Lloyd Irving." She commanded.

"Oh, hey Sheena. Didn't see you there."

"Shut up and sit down. We need to talk." He sat nervously, knowing she would ask about the conversation with Zelos. He waited for her to speak, but she just looked at him. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore.

"What do we have to talk about, Sheena?" He had barely finished when Sheena had answered.

"You know perfectly well what. You've never avoided me like you did today. What the hell was that all about?" Lloyd looked at his feet and mumbled something inaudible.

"What did you say?"

"I said, 'Zelos said some things I didn't want to repeat.' That's all." Lloyd cringed at the half-truth.

"Well, I want to know what it was. Was it about me? Tell me!"

"Yes, it was about you."

"What about me?" she practically yelled. Lloyd hesitated and looked around to make sure no one had heard her before answering. He knew he should just get it over with.

"He – he told me to tell you about how I feel about you." He said in a rush. Sheena was suddenly at a loss for words.

"He said that?" Lloyd nodded. "Wh-what do you feel about me?" She thought she had her answer when his face turned bright red. Even in the dim firelight it was visible.

"Well, um, I like you…a lot. I-I think I'm in love with you." He shut his eyes and waited for the outburst, but it never came. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Sheena was crying.

"Sheena, what's wrong? Oh, no. I did this, I'm so sorry. I'll leave you alone."

"No, Lloyd! Please, stay. I don't hate you, but why didn't you tell me sooner." Lloyd's cheeks flushed again, remembering the Chosen's words.

"I, um, always thought that you and Zelos were together."

"Me and Zelos? Why in the worlds would you think that?"

"Well, when we were at the Otherworldly Gate, he was the one who got to you to keep you from sacrificing yourself. And, I don't know, I just kinda figured…" He trailed off and Sheena smiled at his innocence.

"Lloyd, I've always liked you. And I guess just like you, I thought you were with someone else."

"Who?"

"Colette." Now it was Lloyd's turn to smile.

"We're good friends and all, but I've never thought of her as anything beyond that. Ever since you and I met, I've fallen deeper and deeper for you." Sheena turned from the fire to cover her quickly reddening face.

"I feel the same way. I almost stopped my assassination attempt when I saw you, but I had a job to do. I couldn't let Tethe'alla down." Face under control, she turned back to look at the young swordsman. Tears started to well up again, making Lloyd nervous.

"Sheena, what's wrong? Did I do something to…" She silenced him with a firm but gentle finger placed on his lips.

"These tears aren't bad. Lloyd, I've also fallen in love with you." Her wide smile was more than enough to make Lloyd break out in a grin. Sheena placed a hand on one of his cheeks, amazed at how soft his skin was. She thought it would hard from all the battles he had been in. Lloyd took her hand and held it in both of his. They looked into each other's eyes for a few moments before Lloyd pulled the summoner into a tight embrace.

Sheena had never felt like she did now. She had never felt as secure and safe as she did in his arms. She moved closer to him and looked at the stars.

"Hey, Sheena?"

"What is it, Lloyd?" She looked up at his face, only to find that he looked anxious all of a sudden. She sat up quickly, her worry showing on her face.

"Um, Sheena? After the two worlds are finally at peace, there is something I want to do." She went silent, forcing Sheena to say something.

"What do you want to do?" Smiling nervously, he responded, "Do you remember when you told me how I could join your village?" Reassured and relieved, Sheena chuckled lightly.

"Yes, I do Lloyd." She lifted her head and looked into her eyes. He leaned down and kissed her. It didn't last long, but it was full of the love they held for each other. Sheena sighed contentedly and was soon fast asleep in Lloyd's arms. He watched the beautiful woman in his arms as she slept, and knew that his life was now complete. He soon fell asleep holding the summoner he loved.

In the darkness, six pairs of eyes watched the two, and as the pair by the fire fell asleep, they were all thinking the same thing. "It's about time."

A/N: Unless someone gives me some ideas as to where to go next, I think I am done. I'm willing to try something else, I just don't know what. Thanks to all those that read this, even if you didn't review. This was my first romance story ever, as well as my first fanfic. I hope you enjoyed it. Maybe I'll try another romance in the future.
