Eternal Souls
Chapter One: You do know?
Yuan POV

"Yuan,"

It was early afternoon. I felt oddly warm under my covers, which usually never provided much warmth. Had I overslept? Either way, the comfort of my own bedroom cast away any thoughts of oversleeping. I kept my eyes tightly shut, and attempted to drift back into a light slumber. But before I could even drift of into random thoughts, I was poked again.

"Yuan get up, come on,"

I twitched uneasily, and shot up a barrier around me. Of course I knew it was Kratos. After all these thousands of years he still found pleasure in waking me up every morning. It was his routine, as I always called it. But I didn't mind anything he did, as long as he was here.

"What if I don't want to?" I yawned, letting down the barrier and rolled over. I cracked open and eye and starred up at Kratos, clenching my blankets tightly. Kratos crouched down and starred at me face to face.

"Now don't start with that Yuan, you've been sleeping all day, and it's unheathly," He warned. Every time he spoke I could feel his breath. He found pleasure in the most oddest things. But he didn't take his eyes off me. Squinting my eyes, I yawned and starred back at Kratos.

"Since when did you care if I overslept?" I asked coldly. Kratos still didn't take his eyes off me. What was his thinking? Sometimes I wished I could read his mind. I shut my eyes once more, but Kratos poked my face. That was odd, even for him.

"Ow! Why did you do that?" I snapped opening my eyes. I clenched the blankets even tighter as I watched the seraphim. Only a slight chuckle came in reply from him. Laughter? What did he find so amusing?

"We have our whole lives to sleep," Kratos spoke. What did he mean by that? Sometimes he used so many riddles I couldn't even understand the simplest things he tried to tell me. Though lately I found it was much easier to talk to each other. It was a bond I was becoming obsessed with. But after that kiss so many years ago, we hadn't have had shared a 'real moment'. That was so annoying in my mind, I wanted to be close to him. And sometimes that scared me.

"What, were you planning on something?" I asked, darting around the subject. For some reason Kratos laughed, face still right near mine. What the heck was he on? Either he wanted to do something, or he was just being stubborn as hell. I was betting my gald on the last one.

"Humph," Kratos grinned. He usually played around with his expressions. It was hard to read him, he usually never showed his emotions, I envied him for his strong will and cool-head. Kratos tilted his head, as if he wanted me to reply. But what was there to reply to, honestly?

"Actually, I was going to have Lloyd stop by," Kratos chimed. Those sudden words sent me straight upwards in shock. Did he just say he was having Lloyd over! Well he was his son after all, but so sudden? Ugh, I just wanted to be alone with Kratos. Did that sound selfish?

"Lloyd! When?" I asked, getting off the bed and walked over to my bureau. In the mirror, I could see Kratos staring at me. He got up and walked over behind me.

"Does this dis comfort you Yuan?" Kratos asked. Dis-comfort? Why would Lloyd dis comfort me? What was Kratos talking about. I had no clue what his real intentions were. But to think I would be dis-comforted with his son coming over? Did he really think I hated Lloyd that much?

"Of course not," I replied, mind drifting off. I grabbed my comb and brushed my hair back into it's usual position. Kratos placed a hand on my shoulder awkwardly.

"Just checking," He spoke, almost in a song, and left my room. I just held the brush, what was Kratos thinking? Pushing Kratos out of my mind momentarily, I went into the bathroom to spruce up. After I had done my 'dailies' I walked down to the kitchen. Kratos was looking out the window.

"What is he coming now?" I asked casually. Kratos looked over, as if he hadn't seen me enter. He nodded slightly, and went back to gazing out the window. Giving an expressionless sigh, I sat down and grabbed my mug and starred at the table. It was only a few minutes until Kratos gave the look that Lloyd had arrived.

"I'll be um, avoiding the two of you," I suggested. Kratos looked over at me and walked over. He tilted his head and then a kiss was melted between us.

"Don't be stupid Yuan, I'm sure he'll be at least, content to see you," Kratos spoke, smiling. He left to the door and left me standing there. I smirked slightly tuning out everything and drifted off into thoughts. I sat down and yawned, and waited for Kratos to bring his son into the room.

"Dad!" I heard Lloyd spoke happily. I could tell Kratos was overly thrilled. It was good to see Kratos so happy to be reuinted with his son after these past months. The two Aurion's walked into the kitchen. I kept my head low uneasily, I doubted Lloyd had known that we were living together. And even more so I doubted that he knew of our feelings, feelings towards each other.

"Dad, why is Yuan," He began. I looked upward, almost in a trance when my name was called. Lloyd seemed stunned, but confused at why I was here. Shifting glances from his father to me, I could only sigh. I had no fake excuses to come up with.

"If you want to ask me something, I suggest you address me," I spoke bitterly. I wasn't one to bond with Kratos' son. He was a reflection of the darkest point in Kratos' and our lives when he felt he couldn't reveal to me what was bothering him. And another point was that Lloyd was naive, naive beyond ignorance.

"Why are you here then?" Lloyd asked. Kratos looked at me from behind his son. Attempting to tell me something, I just couldn't make out what it was. I glanced up at the brunette swordsman and flickered a look of amusement.

"That is for me to know," I replied, skipping around the question. Thinking for a moment, Lloyd shrugged, I could tell he felt akward. I was one of the reasons Kratos didn't go along with Lloyd on his journey, and I was starting to think Lloyd was seeing that.

"Lloyd, how has your journey been going?" I silently thanked Kratos who had changed the subject. Only an averted glance showed he had saw that I appreciated his gesture. Lloyd looked back at his father, now starting to forget I was even there.

"Great! So far we've collected hundreds of exsphere, soon all those lives lost can finally rest in peace," Lloyd spoke with a slight content look. Hundreds Of Exspheres? But still, I doubted he had even collected a fragment of all the exspheres out there, although he had collected a large amount so far.

"That's good news," Kratos replied cooly. I shifted uneasily as Kratos looked back over at me. How would I slip away from this conversation. In my mind I thought of reasons to escape.

"I'll be outside with Noishe," I spoke trying not to stutter. Kratos nodded but Lloyd seemed utterly confused with our motives. I walked out the door and sighed. This was such a nuisance.

"Heh," I sighed and sat down on the bench outside near the river. It was such a n ice day until Lloyd came. Did Kratos really think I approved of the double swordsman? It made no sense whatsoever. I had always used Lloyd as a tool against Kratos, but they never saw it that way. Never once did.

"Yuan?" I tilted my head to hear who had said my name. It wasn't long until I realized Kratos had followed me outside. He was standing at the door, looking over at me, as he usually did. I closed me eyes and just thought for a few moments on what to say.

"What do you want? I thought you were with your son?" I asked bitterly. I hadn't have meant to say it so, crudely, but it was just the way I felt. Lately it seemed his son was more important then me. Which I could understand, he was his son after all.

"Yuan, stop acting like this," Kratos replied, without emotion. Stop what? What was I doing that Kratos so earnestly wanted me to stop? I sighed and glanced over at the auburn haired angel, with defiance in my eyes.

"Stop? Stop acting like what?" I asked, with a hint of amusement. I could tell Kratos had picked up on my comment. Sighing, he walked over and sat down next to me, with what seemed like an annoyed attitude? Why was he annoyed with me when I should be the one annoyed with him!

"Ever since I told you Lloyd was coming over you've acted shallow towards both of us, is something troubling you?" He asked. Troubling me? Ha! Of course something was bothering me. I didn't like Kratos thinking of anything but me, as strange as it sounded. But of course, I doubted I should tell him how much I felt for him. As it stood, he just thought we had feelings for each other. Not the type I was feeling. That thought made my stomach sick as I glared back at Kratos.

"Shallow? Nah. Nothing it bothering me! You're overeating," I spoke, trying to sound sharp and care-free, but of course, lying and acting wasn't my strong suit. Glancing over to see what Kratos replied with, I could only see the faintest amusement in his ruby eyes.

"You know you can tell me," He spoke softly. Tell him? When his son was here? That'd be suicude of the worst kind! Yea, convince your feelings have grown even stronger towards him when his son is waltzing around who has no idea of any of this.

"I'm not going to say anything while Lloyd is here," I spoke harshly. It was true, I didn't want Lloyd to know anything of this. He was just a pesky fly that wouldn't take a hint and leave. Why couldn't he make like a tree and freakin leaf? I felt sick to my stomach once more.

"Lloyd won't care," Kratos spoke, trying to sound reassuring. Sure thing Kratos. Lloyd wouldn't care to find out his father and worst enemy were in love. Gosh, was Kratos this dense or was he just trying to make me feel better? Either way, he wa failing. Failing miserably.

"I'm sure he wouldn't," I replied. insensitively to Kratos. He seemed stunned at my response. What was there to be stunned about? He knew I always kept my thoughts and feelings locked up in my mind. A duh.

"Come on now Yuan, everything will be fine. Things will be better what he leaves, promise," With that promise he extended a hand and placed it on my shoulder. Things will be better? What was he getting at. Things would be better. Was that some kind of riddle Kratos was tricking me with. I just couldn't pry at it. I tilted my head and sighed helplessly.

"I hope so," I replied bluntly. I wasn't in such a joyous mood, and I could tell Kratos knew that. Without another regard towards my thoughts, he gave a modest smile, as if he had said too much, then got up and left back inside, leaving me once again alone, without an invention to come back in.

With a sigh that held a bit of anguish, I closed my eyes and drifted into thoughts. Thoughts about us.
