Disclaimer: Not mine. Wish they were. Here's another Ars Amatoria theme story. Just in time for Valentines day. They are only short, something unusual for me, but unlike Dagmar I don't mind writing short, sharp little fics. Please, enjoy. Angel Mouse, February 2006.
Ars Amatoria Romance Challenge: Secrets
By Angel Mouse
Bridge POV
I have secrets.
So many sometimes it gets overwhelming and I tend to loose myself in myself just so I can retain my sanity in these insane times.
I pick up secrets without even trying when I accidentally touch someone's skin. I pick up there hopes and dreams and secrets.
I don't like secrets, especially ones that aren't mine. I have too many of my own demons and nightmares to fight let alone everyone else's. Like the fact Syd's scared of spiders and freaks out about them. Or that Jack is afraid he's going to let everyone down or that Sky is petrified one of us will get hurt and he can do nothing to stop it. As I said, I don't like secrets.
But the only person who I don't mind sharing my secrets with is Z. She understands me sometimes more than I understand myself. She somehow knows when it's all too much for me and I need some space and she'll drag me out of the Academy so I can go somewhere quiet and focus myself again.
But there is one secret I won't share with her and that's my feelings for her.
After all, a person has to have some secrets to themselves.
