Summary: Dearka thinks about the relationship between Miriallia and Tolle.

He resisted the urge to smash the glass frame he held tightly in his hands. She never smiled like that. At least, not around him. But yet, in the photograph she was wearing a smile so wide it seemed almost unreal. Her eyes were twinkling with true happiness. Why had that guy been able to see her like that? Why couldn't his eyes be blessed with a smile like the one she wore in the picture? It was of a boy with brown, slightly curly hair. His eyes were squinted in such a way that their colour couldn't be determined. She stood with her arms wrapped around his shoulders. There was a waterslide in the background. They looked so happy. He wanted to tear out the eyes of whoever had made her so happy. 'Zala handled that for you.' He reminded himself. He didn't understand why he felt the way he did. He would have expected to feel happy knowing that she had been happy, but instead he felt possessive. No natural should have been good enough for her. She deserved so much more. But, she was a natural, so why shouldn't she be happy with one? His knuckles tightened around the frame, threatening to crack it. Society would twist his own views around. She was a natural, and therefore not good enough for him, a coordinator. He was clearly superior. But not to his eyes. No, he needed her to love him. He didn't know why, but he needed her to feel as happy around him as she had around the one before him. He couldn't settle for anything less than that. A sharp crack drew him from his thoughts. The frame had cracked around his right thumb, and spider webbed out from there, covering the face of the man in the picture. Someday, someday he would replace him. He needed to.

A/N: A little darker than usual, but it got me going. I was actually planning on making this a humor, but the plot bunnies disagreed.
