Last time:
"I guess...it's Zelos' turn again." Lloyd said slowly.
"Yup. My turn." Zelos said, oddly serious. "Ok. I pick...SHEENAAAAAAA!" His goofy and perverted grin once again returning to his face.
"Me!" She demanded. (thoughts) Oh, Jeeze. He's gonna do something rash. And I...like it. Wait, what am I thinking? He's probably going to...let's NOT go there. I hate it. I hate HIM. I hate THIS!
Now:
"Yes, you, my Violent Demonic Banshee. Truth or Dare?" Zelos asked.
"Truth. I won't risk you daring me to do something that suits you." She retorted, a grumpy expression. But inside, she picked truth because she was afraid she might get out of control if Zelos dared her to do what he wanted.
"Ok. Do ya like me?" he asked. "And not just LIKE. LOVE. Do ya love me? Do ya hate me?"
Sheena blushed. "I...I said dare!"
"Technically, that's cheating. But since you're my favorite hunny, I'll let you. I dare you to...follow me." He motioned, walking outside.
Sheena felt her stomach do a flip. Goddess, what the hell have I done? But she followed like she was told. Before she stepped out the door, she said, "Guys, if I'm not back within 2 hours, come find me." They all nodded. She walked out the door and closed it behind her.
Zelos lead her thorugh the streets of Meltokio and finally stopped in a deserted alley in the Slums. He turned around and said, "Sheena, how do you feel about this? Or...about me? Tell the truth." (Prepare for fluffy moment!)
Sheena searched her mind for a retort. "You told me this was a DARE."
"Yes. I only let you cheat halfway. You still got a little bit of truth to tell." He smirked, but it wasn't his usual grin; it was a gentle one.
Sheena looked down at the ground. "I..."
Zelos raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"I... like you alot more then I let on." She admitted slowly. "And about this. It makes me feel...so awkward. Because...I'm afraid. Just like I was of Volt before. I'm afraid to tell you. I'm afraid that...I'll be..."
Zelos put his hand on her chin and brought her face up to look at him. "You're afraid that you'll be what?" He looked tenderly at her and stared into her eyes. His tone was soft and assuring.
A stray tear escaped from Sheena's eyes. Crying. She was crying. Something she hadn't done since she had lost her Grandfather to Volt. She found him again after she had found Lloyd and the others. But then, just like so many time before, she held her tears back. Most of the time, it was Zelos. She loved him so much, but the way he was. The way he flirted. The way he acted. She acted so cold to him. She concealed the way she felt. She concealed her affection. He always made her jelous, he was with so many women, but she still loved him. She still felt for him. For the Chosen. For her companion. But this time, she didn't have enough strength to hold back her feelings. She couldn't do it anymore.
Zelos stared at her. It was a kind stare. Mixed with sadness and most importantly: Love. He released her chin and hugged her to him.
Sheena gasped. Was this her dream? Was this what she had been waiting for, for so long? She buried her face in his shoulder and let a decade of tears and pain from him, that had been bottled up, flow out. She hugged him back. She hugged him. Yes. She hugged him tightly and hoped they could stay like this forever. Forver frozen in time with Zelos. With the man she loved.
"Sheena, you do, don't you?" He asked her gently, still hugging her.
Sheena kept sobbing. "I...Zelos...I...I love you, you idiot!" She yelled.
He smiled kindly. He let go of her and took her chin in his hand again. He stared into her brown eyes and they were red and puffy.
"Zelos, you idiot!" She yelled at him, she lurched forward and their lips met, rather roughly.
Zelos was surprised, and his eyes opened wide. He returned the kiss, wrapping his hands around her slim waist. (It's a beginner kiss, perverts.)
Zelos, though he had gone beyond a chaste kiss before, didn't take advantage of Sheena. She was his only REAL lover. All the others, it was just simple lust. It wasn't love. But with Sheena, it was just the opposite. She loved him, that was clear now. And it had been clear to him that he loved her.
Sheena pulled back and rested her head on the hollow part of his shoulder. She sighed and snuggled closer.
"Sheena, I feel the same." he told her softly.
Sheena looked up at him, a gentle smile on her face. She reluctantly let go of him. "Zelos, we should go back. I told the others that if I wasn't back in 2 hours, they should come and find me. We've been here pretty long."
"Yeah. You're actually right, my Violent Demonic Banshee."
Sheena smiled.
"You're not gonna...hit me? Or insult me? Or attack me?" He asked.
"Nah. We're...No. I'm not." Sheena told him softly.
Zelos smiled and took her hand. "I won't forget, Sheena."
Sheena smiled and wiped the last tear from her face. "Me neither."
Zelos smiled. The moment, sadly, didn't last long. He slowly manuvuered his hand over her...butt. (IT'S TALES OF SYMPHONIA MIROKU STYLE!)
Sheena slapped him. "Don't ruin the moment."
"It couldn't have lasted a little longer?" He complained sarcasticly.
Sheena raised her hand, threatening to hit him again.
"Sheena!"
Sheena turned, hand still in the air to find her former companions.
"Hi, guys." She said lamely.
Lloyd looked at the position they were in. "Zelos, I thought better of you. I didn't think you would try to ra--nevermind. It's a good thing Sheena's strong and Zelos is a whimp!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. I wasn't trying to ra--" Zelos began, but he never got to finish, due the a ninja hand slapping him across the face.
"Let's get back to your stupid mansion," Sheena said lamely. She walked over to the others and waited for them to leave. When her and Zelos were alone, she said, "I still love you, ya pervert." She winked and ran after the others.
Zelos smiled to himself. "So do I."
