Okay, part 2 is up. I already have part 3 written, all I have to do is type it and upload it. Which, I expect to be done later today. And I'm also in the midst of writing part 4. This one ends kind of cutely, I think, so yeah. I'll just leave you to it...

Disclaimer!: I don't own ToS, the characters of it, or anything remotely close to it, nor do I claim to.

Part 2 Scene: Heimdall Inn approx. 11 P.M. Day 1

Later that night, Regal sat awake on the side of the bed he and Zelos were made to share. It was all he could do to hold back tears. Zelos sat up and placed a hand on the big man's shoulder.

"You okay, big guy?" Zelos was curious. "Regal, I…I want to get to know you. I may seem like an ass and I may have completely shown that before, but I'm interested in getting to know you better than anyone else." Zelos stared into Regal's blue eyes, his own similarly blue eyes shining back as bright and beautiful as the full moon that could be seen from the window.

"Zelos, you're…You're…sigh" Regal knew exactly what he wanted to say, however he didn't want Zelos to think he was stupid for saying it. "Zelos, you're the only one only one other than Alicia to ever care that much about me. Thank you." At this point, Regal fell atop Zelos, sobbing. Zelos held him in a tight embrace.

Regal began explaining his past; how he grew up living in the streets, his entire life of poverty, until… "When I finally came to Palmacosta, I wandered into a building looking for food. And ten years later, I was head of the company. That's when I met Alicia, Presea's older sister…And…well, you know what happened after that…" Regal lifted his hands and his handcuffs clinked together. He lowered his head.

Zelos realized that to a degree, he and Regal were alike. He hugged him from behind. At that moment, the hotel hostess came to the door. "Phone call, Mister Wilder," she said. Zelos told Regal he'd be back soon and with that, he went to the phone on the reception desk.

"Zelos, you need to come home as soon as you can! It's Seles! She's…she's dead!!!"

"Oh, no…But I…but…AARRG!" He hung up without another word. But his concern did not lie with the fact that his only family was dead. His mind was still wrapped around Regal. He'd never been attracted to guys, but there was just something about Regal that made his heart just melt.

He sluggishly made his way to the room and upon arrival, he heard the rustling of the bed sheets. He opened the door to find Regal staring blankly out the window. "Regal…?" Just the sound of Zelos's voice made Regal come to his senses. By now, the Tethe'allan Chosen had almost completely forgotten the phone call he'd received. "Regal, I know this may sound like something I'm making up, but I fell like…like Alicia's speaking to me. I can…see her. She says she wants you to be happy. She wants you to know she's gone, that she wants you to move on. She doesn't want you dwelling on the past." When Regal looked at Zelos, he saw not the red-headed Chosen, but his beloved Alicia.

Regal hugged Zelos tight, never wanting to let go, the young angel hugging right back with exactly the same feeling. "Zelos, we need some sleep. Come." He opened his cuffed together arms to the bed. Zelos got comfortable and Regal climbed in after him, Zelos shifting due to the added weight on the bed. He placed a hand on Regal's muscular hip.

"Is it okay if I leave my hand here?" Zelos asked, a little uncomfortably, but hoping he'd say yes.

"More than okay, my friend." Zelos smiled, then began to drift off to sleep.

The two fell asleep like this. Regal forgetting the pain of Alicia's death; Zelos forgetting the death of his sister; both to soon after find a new love for eachother.

Lloyd had woken up after hearing the voices of Zelos and Regal in the next room over. "Are they talking like they're friends?" He shrugged it off. His eyes then shifted to the body next to him. Colette's been sleeping like a rock lately…Keeping this in mind, he pulled her closer, hoping she wouldn't notice n the morning.
