A/N: I posted 2 chapters today including the last one because I haven't posted any work in a long time. Sorry if it is becoming out of character.

Disclaimer: I do not own Star Ocean and any of its characters.

Under the moon's light our two heroes are alone. They were together in this still silence.

"Are you okay know?" Albel said as he was wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Yes, thank you." Sophia said quite embarrassed in the position they were in.

Albel was so close to her face now.

"Gosh, he's so handsome." She said inside her mind.

Red started to appear in her face.

"Hey, this maggot isn't half bad. She looks really beautiful when you look at her closely." Albel said inside his mind.

Albel noticed that their faces were close to each other. He didn't mind it at all. And maybe this was his chance to do IT.

Albel leaned closer to her nearing her very tender lips.

Back at Airyglyph…

"I wonder were they are. It is getting dark." Said Fayt in a very worried tone.

" Hey, don't worry. They will return here." Cliff said.

" Yeah, I guess you're right." Fayt said feeling reassured.

Closer….

Closer….

Closer….

His lips were nearing hers. This was it.

Back at Airyglyph…

" I hope Sophia is alright." Fayt thought about her again.

ACHOOO!

Sophia sneezed. This surprised Albel so his plan on kissing her was a failure. She also noticed what he was about to do and it was a bit shocked and a bit disappointed.

Albel's cheeks went red. He let go of her and went near to the mouth of the cave.

"Albel…" Sophia said.

" Go to sleep, worm. We'll leave early tomorrow morning." Albel said as he walked away from her.

" Ah…sure." Responded Sophia.

(Inside Albel's mind)

" Why did I do that!"

" I was about to kiss that maggot."

" I was so close, yet so far away!"

"Hey! Why am I saying this things?"

(Inside Sophia's mind)

" Did Albel almost did what I thought he want to do?"

" Was he trying to… kiss me?"

" Oh, God why did I have to sneeze. That was sooo close!"

" Hey! Why am I saying this things?"
