Hi. XD

Sidestory: Why They Never Could Last
-
They said they were getting distracted, reckless; and that was true.
Yet there is always another truth behind a truth.
Loki frowns; Lidia steals.
Loki smiles; Lidia gives.
They were the two people least prepared to make that change.
He was an emotionally stunted assassin; she was an immature and mischievous thief.
Definitely not a good match. They weren't SUITED. They obviously wouldn't last.
That is the truth.
They couldn't deal with the consequences of their actions.
That is the truth.
There is always a truth behind a truth. And perchance, another behind that.
But how could anyone be afraid to love?
-
The night was dark, quiet, and cold. It seeped under the skin through the whispers of the breeze, singing of the end-of-summer. The sky showed the first faint slivers of dark blue-gray.
It was time to wake.
Lidia stood up, stretching, and winced.
"Ow."
"Are you all right?"
Loki's voice could have been carved out of stone; his eyes told of little more.
"Perhaps I should not have been so … rough."
She brushed it aside, winking at him like a naughty child.
"Naw. S'okay, I liked it."
Snigger.
"An' I mean, who'd have thought stony old skeletor freak could be sush an animal in the sack? Heh."
She didn't even blush. It was an old joke.
"But you hurt."
"I'll be fine in the mornin'."
The horizon was shot with streaks of fire.
"It is morning."
She looked up, turning around.
"Not until Knighty convinces Sleeping Bratty that it's time to rise and shine it isn't."
"…"
He opened his mouth, but she pushed on, not noticing it or the sudden tension.
"But anyhow… gotta go…"
She trailed off and turned around, as if unsure of whether or not to continue, but this time, he was the one to look away.
"...so, see ya. Bye."
Nod.
So she left, and they both pretended that they didn't give a damn.
