Just a little warning before ya start reading. This fic is a Zelloyd. For you oblivious types that means there will be vast amounts of gayness at some point. So please, if that freaks you out, don't waste your time reading it. If you read it anyway and decide to flame, that just tells me you're afraid to come out of the closet. This is my first fic, so reviews would make me feel fluffy.

Oh so fluffy...

I disclaim it all. It wasn't me. Blame the Japanese.


Ludicrous Misconceptions

Chapter one: Attack of the Violent Demon Banshee

It was a crisp autumn night. The group had decided to set up camp after an exhausting day of traveling through the unforgiving wilderness. Everyone had turned in early after the usual meal of meat stew (cooked by Regal of course), with the exception of Lloyd who had volunteered to take the night watch.

Raine was dozing peacefully next to the camp fire as Genis lay curled against her. A few feet away a sleeping Colette had wrapped herself from head to toe in her sleeping bag. Regal had fallen asleep with his back propped up against a large rock, an open book resting in his lap. On the other side of the camp fire, Zelos hugged his blanket as he mumbled incoherently in his sleep. Presea had fallen into an unsound slumber holding a makeshift pillow over her head to attempt to drown out the chosen's obnoxious sleep babble. Lloyd sat quietly next to the Sage family with his legs folded under him. He stared blankly into the blazing fire, blinking every so often to fight off sleep.

Sheena laid awake separate from the others, her gaze fixed upon the brightly lit stars of the clear night sky. She was unable to quiet the various thoughts that ran rampant through her mind, and it was maddenly irritating. Reluctantly, she sat up and rubbed the back of her head before reaching over to snag the pack that she had been traveling with. She unfastened the straps that held it shut and opened it to peer inside. A small, folded piece of paper she hadn't noticed earlier that day grabbed her attention immediately. Her head tilted ever so slightly in a curious fashion.

"Wonder where this came from." She spoke to herself quietly.

Taking the paper into her hands, she unfolded it find a brief letter written inside. She held it up at just the right angle to catch enough light from the campfire to read it. Her eyes widened as she paled considerably.

"What the HELL!" she practically roared as she jumped to her feet swiftly.

Luckily she wasn't loud enough to wake anyone, though it was enough to shake Lloyd from his daydream. He directed a glance to a thoroughly pissed off Sheena as she stalked past him towards a certain sleeping redhead. The faintest hint of a mischievous smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"ZELOS! Wake up!" Sheena hollered down at the sleep talker as she gave him a shove with her foot.

The chosen was rolled onto his back from the forceful nudge, and cracked an eye open to peer up at the furious woman who was looming over him. He opened the other eye and sat up to flash one of his typical sly grins.

"What can I do for you, my fiery hunny?" He questioned casually, acting as if Sheena wasn't shooting him a death glare.

"Get up." She replied shortly as she continued to glare at him darkly.

He let out an overly vocal yawn before getting to his feet, brushing away some of the dead grass that clung to his clothing. It was then when he realized just how enraged the summoner was. She stood with her arms stiffly at her sides, her hands were clenched into fists, and a noticeable blush was hot on her cheeks. In one hand she clutched a scrunched up piece of paper.

"Do you really think that I'd…y-you…" she began to stammer out as her blush darkened.

"Hmm?" Zelos blinked in confusion, tilting his head a bit.

Her palm swiftly connected withhis face, leaving a bright read handprint on his cheek.

"YOU PERVERT!" she roared before storming off, dropping the crinkled paper.

"Owww... Sheeeenaaa, what'd I do!" he whined as he placed a hand to his reddened cheek and pouted.

He noticed the letter she had dropped and bent over to scoop it up. He smoothed it out a bit and scanned over it. His eyes grew wide at the letter's contents.

Sheena,

The cool and sexy Zelos has an offer you simple can't refuse. Tonight after everyone is asleep, meet me by the river. Be sure to come prepared for a night of guilt-free, mind blowing sex. It can be out little secret, 'kay?

Yours truly,

Already naked

Zelos looked completely lost. He knew he didn't write the letter. Granted it wasn't a bad idea, but none the less it wasn't him.

Then who…

A sudden fit of uncontrollable laughter erupted from a certain twin swordsman, causing him to nearly fall over. Suddenly it was all very clear.

About two weeks ago Zelos played a rather embarrassing prank on Lloyd, which started a little war between them. The two had playing pranks back and forth since then, and Zelos (who was obvious better at this sort of thing) always seemed to have the upper hand. Lloyd often woke up with carrot shavings in his hair, sticky rice in his socks, and at times various objects stuck up his nose. The chosen even went so far as to place the teens hand on Genis' behind which they slept, which caused an awkward scene the next morning.

Zelos glanced over at Lloyd, who was wiping tears from his eyes as he attempted to calm his laughter. Apparently paybacks are hell.

I'mma kill that little...

The younger male looked over to him with a goofy, lopsided grin plastered on his face. Zelos' anger dissipated quickly. He hated to admit it, but it was a surprisingly well thought out prank to come from someone like Lloyd. Clearly the redhead's sense of humor was rubbing off on him.

"'Already naked', huh?" a playful grin was directed towards Lloyd.

Once again the twin swordsman exploded into laughter while gripping his now aching sides.

"Laugh it up while you can, Lloydie." Zelos commented in mock warning, "This isn't over yet."

He winked in his usual flirty manner before settling back down to return to dream land. Lloyd managed to quiet himself so he could catch his breath; a lopsided grin was still visible.

"That okay," the younger male replied, though he was speaking to himself mostly "I'm just getting started."


A/N: More to come. Expect to see four or five chapters.
