A/N: First of all I'd to thank the wonderful people, MonMonCandie and WishingDreamer5, for their reviews.
Oh, just in case you missed the notes in the first few chapters: this whole fic is the response to my first challenge, by WishingDreamer5. Enjoy.
05: Eyes
He couldn't think of anything else to do. Sure, the sunset was beautiful, but he knew couldn't keep staring at it. He turned to his right to look at his best friend. Her short sapphiric blue hair cascaded past her cheek, blocking her eyes from his sight. "Aqua?" he asked.
In response she turned to look a him. Her eyes were the same sapphire blue as her hair, only a few shades lighter. They looked like two serene ponds of crystal clear water, reflecting the sky, her pupils two sad black swans that were never to meet. But instead of a reflection of the sky, Terra only saw himself, a face covered behind a veil of kindness and strength, but smeared with an ugly stain of guilt. Then his eyebrows involuntarily raised, as his eyes showed two brown grizzly bears roaring back at him. They screamed his name as if they were calling for help, but with a tone of false alarm and a sense of misguidance...
"Terra?"
Terra realised he was staring at her and swiftly turned away, his cheeks blushing bright pink. Stupid, stupid stupid, stupid! Terra kept thinking to himself. Why did I have to go and do that? She's probably thinking I'm such an idiot right now. Stupid! His cheeks blushed even brighter.
Aqua smiled at this and nudged his elbow with hers. When he turned around his eyes were met those same beautiful blue eyes. But this time they showed a tinge of concern. Terra thought of looking away, but then thought better of it. This time it was her turn to gaze into him. He let her.
A/N: Yet another chapter done. If you liked it, feel free to leave a review. And again, thank you guys for the reviews. They're very much appreciated. :)
