"I am not telling you what to do, However I believe they should know. They won't be against you just because of your race. I know them, They care about you and they may want to know the real you." Ignis's words played endlessly in her head, As she looked at Gladiolus, Prompto and Noctis as they stood before her waiting curious about what she had to say.

"Just tell us it can't be that bad?" Reassured Prompto.

"What happened to your eyes?" Asked Noctis.

Qedus sighed as she placed her hands behind her back, She looked down staring at her feet trying to avoid eye contact. Despite her fear she looked up at them and bit her lip slowly she spoke. "I'm not from here…I'm from Spira."

"Spira?" Gladiolus asked with one eyebrow arched, "I've heard of it…barely…thats a long ways a way from here."

"Days…it would take almost half a month to reach it…" Ignis said as he got up beside her almost as if he was supporting her by being close.

"I am 25% so to say Al Bhed…my granddaddy was Al Bhed…" she said feeling weight being lifted off of her.

"So?" Asked Noctis as he looked to Gladio then Prompto.

"Yeah why does that matter?" Asked Prompto placing both his hands on his hips.

"Back where I live…most of us are hated. That's why I hid my eyes for so long…I didn't know if I'd be accepted." She said as she frowned.

"But your mostly…human?" Asked Noctis.

"Yes but the hate towards Al Bhed is so big that I was afraid. My father was Al Bhed and human my mother was just human and they were judged because of it…so they moved to Eos."

Each of their expressions seemed confused, Prompto held up his hand to say something but stopped. Ignis stepped forward and began to speak, "The Al Bhed rejected the Yevon religion, Which led to hatred and racism towards them. They also took part in using Machina…for not so wholesome reasons."

"So your eyes…thats…Al Bhed?" Asked Gladio.

Qedus didn't answer but nodded as she now placed her hands in front of her balling them up. "Please don't hate me for this…I just did it to protect myself."

"Aw…Qedus I could never hate you." Prompto said as he smiled pulling her into a hug.

"Me niether…it doesn't matter…" said Noctis.

"Then how do you know Cor?" Asked Gladio his arms crossing and his expression very serious.

"We met him through hunting…Meldacio…he knew my dad." Said Qedus.

"Hm." Scoffed Gladio as he turned way but before he could Qedus pulled him back.

"What is your problem?!" She asked fed up with constant mood swings.

"Nothing just I love how you can't trust me with something so big, I bet Cor knows." Said Gladio.

Qedus's jaw dropped as she was left speechless, Finally after a moment of silence she spoke. "Yes…he does." Said Qedus.

Gladio glared as he shook his head, His disappoinment clear. "I wouldn't have cared…I don't now."

"We are not together." Said Qedus the words noticeably hurting him. Gladio's eyebrows furrowed as his eyes burned through her. "Your whole jealousy thing is getting old. I'm not just another conquest either."

"You think your just a conquest…" His words were tense as he pushed past Ignis and rose his hand to gently grab her shoulder but she flinched turning away.

"There is something between us Qedus! You know it and I know it!" He said. She looked back at him seeing how everyone was becoming uncomfortable.

"Then why haven't you asked me out yet? Why?"

Gladio seemed surprised by her question as he swallowed hard. "There is just to much going on."

"Exactly…so please stop…" said Qedus with a frown as her eyes fell to the floor.

"I'm going back to our room…" Noctis said quietly leaving.

"Please rest…think of your body…Good night Qedus." Ignis said shooting a look at Prompto as he walked out.

"I'm going to…" Prompto said awkwardly leaving the room. All that was left was to ask Gladio to leave, She looked over to Gladio who was staring her down arms crossed.

"You to…" she said sitting on her bed trying not to look at him. She began to hear him walk out, The door shut but then she heard the door locked. She looked over to see Gladiolus standing in front of the now locked door with his jacket off and thrown on the floor.

"What are you doing?" She asked. Gladio didn't answer but instead he slowly crawled onto the bed. She watched looking over his tight chest and every single solid muscle. His large hands pushed her back gently her head resting on the pillow as he got on top of her.

The size difference was a big one, He was a behemoth and she was the size of moogle. His hands rested beside her head as he leaned forward, His lips touched hers gently kissing her. The shock disappeared and became lust as her hands wrapped around his neck, She started to kiss him more their lips crashing against each other. Her tiny slender legs curled up slightly as he lowered himself more.

She gasped as his stiffening length poked her thigh through his jeans. He started to place light feather like kisses in the crook of her neck, She writhed and moaned as his tongue glided against her soft skin. Her legs trembled as he ran a large calloused hand up her thigh spreading her legs apart. He fell to the side of her swooping her up with his free arm holding her into the crook of his arm as his free hand began to yank down her underwear.

That's when it dawned on her she grabbed his hand, " I can't." She said as he laid his hand on her thigh.

"Why not?" He asked his Amber eyes softened and practically staring into her soul.

"My brother he's out there…I don't know where he is."

She said.

"He's not your responsibility…Qedus we will find him tomorrow I promise." Said Gladiolus.

"But…"

"No buts…hes an adult…" said Gladiolus sternly.

"I said no." Said Qedus with a frown, She pressed a kiss to Gladiolus's lips. Gladiolus sighed and threw his head back.

"Okay…fine but what does this mean for us." Asked Gladiolus.

"We will see..." She said as she rested her head on his chest. "I need to focus on Lark…"
