Note: I do not own, but rather have beaten it 3,000 times, Tales of Symphonia. This fiction is rated M for some language, slight sexual content ( not too extreme), and some violence. Sit back and enjoy you Sheloyd/Lloydeena fans and some Zelette Fans) :). Plus I changed some relationships in the group, especially Lloyd and Zelos, and Lloyd and Colette.
Tales of Symphonia: Stay with Me
When the two were about to leave, Lloyd then somehow ended up on his bed, looking up at his ceiling. Lloyd was really baffled on how he was back on his, he sat up and saw that it was morning still. same time as he and Sheena were about to leave.
"Did...Did I just dream all of that?" He asked himself, "But all of it felt so real..." He htne kinda cried a bit cause it was all a fantasy. Bout 5 minutes later, he headed out the door and saw Zelos sitting by the Mizuho Trainign Grounds. He grinned happily, and rushed over calling out his friends name. Zelos looked back and smiled "Hey Lloyd, surprise to see you up so early."
Lloyd scratched his head in embrassement, "Uh..yea...I had a weird dream last night..."
Zelos chuckled and patted Lloyd's back "Ahh it's aight...so I talked to Sheena last nigth before I went to bed, she told me to tell you 'Thank's for the conversation last night'"
Lloyd then blushed a bit, and then looked down in embrassement, "Um...was that all she said?"
"Yep that's it...oh except she was a bit worried that you fell asleep on the way home...so she sat by your side for the night, until she passed out as well." Zelos threw in after Lloyd asked his question.
Lloyd then realizied why it was all a bit too much, he dreamed it after their talk outside Mizuho...this made more sense, cause Sheena looked like she wouldn't give it up after one long talk. Lloyd tehn saw some kind of commotion going on in the training grounds, which made him wonder why Zelos was standing here.
"So..why are you over here?" Lloyd asked when he made eye contact with Zelos.
"Oh...I was watching the rookie ninjas train, andthen they just bursted out into a fight...I think it was about their skills or something..." said the Chosen, as he watched the two young ninjas fight recklessly.
"Hm, interesting..." said Lloyd as he smiled happily.
"You think fighting about barely nothing is interesting?" Asked Zelos, with a raised eyebrow.
"No...cause that what people should fight about...not rascism...strength...or even bloodline..." He said happily, with a light smile.
"Lloyd.."
"Yea?"
"You have a gifted mind..."
"Whoa..why do you say that all of sudden?" Asked Lloyd with a shocked look.
"Cause you look at life so easily, you don't judge a person by their race, power, or bloodline, but by just how they act...I wish my life was as easy as that." He said with a sad look in his eye.
"Is it something you wann talk about...?" Lloyd asked with concern
"Not here...as much as I want to...I don't think I can talk here in Mizuho...but I will hold you up to that chat soon." spoke the Chosen with a slight smile.
"Ok...I'll keep it in mind..."
"Right...hey you should go get the others, we need to go bring Presea to Ozzete."
"Oh yeah...alright I'll see you at the entrance..." Lloyd then rushed back to the house..Zelos watched him go and smiled slightly. 'How I thought Yggdrassial was right about the world...I'll never know...'
------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been over a week...Presea is back to normal, but Colette has been taken away by Rodyle. The group has been sent back to find out where the loctaion of the Rheiards are..but it was on one condtion...Sheena had to make a pact with Volt. This scared her out of the house, and Lloyd followed after her. Lloyd found her by the graveyard of Mizuho crying. Lloyd had never seen her cry before, and it was more pianful to his heart, than seeing Colette cry. He started to approach her, but Corrine looked back, and it caused his bell to jingle, which caught Sheena's attention. She turned her head, witha few tears, but rubbed them quickly when she saw it was Lloyd.
"Y-You..heard what happenend last time, right?" She asked sadly, while holding her legs close to her body.
"Yea...but you have gotten better at it." spoke Lloyd with a warm smile. "I mean, you made a pact with Undine, Efreet, and Slyph...that has to count for something."
"I know...but you could get killed, and it would be all my fault for screwing up." She said when she began to stand up and then giving a sad look.
"Hasn't everything we've done been a bit risky...plus whatever happens...win or lose...no, when we win...cause I believe in you...I know you can do it Sheena." He said with a warm, comforting tone.
"Lloyd...thank you...but what if I fail at making the pact?"
Lloyd pulled out one of his blades, and held it to his face "Then I cut him down, and force him to work with us."
Sheena then giggled, and hugged Lloyd for his act of kindess to her. "Yea...I will do my best..." She then spoke queitly to herself 'for you..."
They reached the Temple, and fought long and ruthless against monsters, demons, and thunder spirits..until they reached Volt...Sheena trying to form the pact, got a bit pissed off, and yelled at him, Volt then began his assault, and brought them to the ground. Sheena was trerrified cause it was just like when she was 9...she got scared and then saw Volt pass by her, and begin to launch a lightning bolt, when it shot it was coming at Sheena...She closed her eyes to get ready for the blast...but felt nothing, when she opened her eyes..Corrine was in the air taking the shot, when he fell tot he ground, she ran to his side, "Corrine...WHY!"
Volt then started to charge up again, but this time Lloyd dashed in, and reflected it with is sword, which had a Garnet attached to it, so it relfected it as a ray of fire, and it brought Volt to the ground for a while.
"Sheena get a hold of yourself!" yelled Lloyd as he tried to fend off the pissed off Summon Spirit.
"But..." Was all Sheena could get out.
"Volt...lost his faith in people...make the vow, and try one more time...you can do it Sheena..." Were Corrine's last words, and then he passed away, whcih left Sheena crying her eyes out, Volt began his assault again, but Lloyd brought him down with Tempest Beast..
"Sheena, subdue Volt...don't let Corrine's effort end up meaningless..otherwise Volt's Shadow will always be with you." spoke Lloyd, while running out of breath...
Volt then rose up and blasted a lightning bolt at Lloyd, which sent him flying to the wall. Sheena then screamed..cause she was gonna lose her main reason for being alive...so she stood up and then yelled out.
"For Corrine's sake..and Lloyd's sake...VOLT I DEMAND YOUR POWER!" She then rushed in, and attacked Volt with all of her Summon Spirits, while the others follwoed behind her, Zelos attacked with Victory Light Spear, Presea attacked with Devastation, following up with Beast, Regal attacked with Swallow Dance, Raine attacked with Photon, Genis brought Volt down with Stalagmite, Lloyd then finsihed him off with Rising Falcon, which he just learned the other day. Volt then fell to ground in submission..and let Sheena make her pact.
----------------------------------------------------------------
That night Sheena was standing outside the camp, near the Temple, and looking down at the water, she held her body close, and cried. She heard footsteps come from behind her, and then looked back to see Lloyd, this time sh elet the tears come out. Lloyd sat down next to her, and wrapped an arm around her...Sheena then felt so warm..usually if it was any other man, she punch them...but Lloyd...she'd let him do anything.
"Lloyd...I'm sorry..." She said sadly.
"For what?" He asked in concern.
"Because of my reckless behavior...I almost got you killed...I shouldn't be a summoner..." She said sadly, while tears running down her cheek.
"You dork..." Lloyd said with a slight chuckle.
"Why am I a dork?" she asked with concern.
"Because you feel like you failed, but you won...because of your summon spirits..."
"Huh...yea..." She then leaned up against his shoulder, which kinda made Lloyd blush.
"Sheena?"
"Can I just stay here with you right now?" She asked with a depressed tone.
"Sheena..no matter what happens to you, you always have me to lean on for comfort."
She giggled lightly, and then started to fall asleep...but she wrappped an arm around him, and then fell asleep. Lloyd looked down at her, and then picked her up and brought her back to the tent..on the way there, he looked down and saw her restng face...'She looks so beautiful...' He then opened up her tent, and laid her down on the sleeping bag, kissed her forehead, and sat down on the side of the tent, to keep her company..even though she was already asleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Over the next few weeks, Sheena and Lloyd have gotten more attached, they stood by each other sides, fought monsters together, and ate dinnner next to each other. This was making Colette and Genis curious about what was going on...only the adults, including Presea (Since she is actually 28), knew what was going on...the two were destined to be soul mates...even though they did not realize it yet.
They had decided to take a break, and Zelos mentioned a place somewhat south of Meltokio, so they headed south, and found themselves at a Hot Spring...which is something they al lneeded, and good body relaxation. When they realizied that it was a one tub only thing, they had to compromise and go in groups in gender. The Females went in first, they had a great time, they relaxed, talked about the journey, and all stuff that women talk about. Meanwhile in the clear, they were being watched..by Zelos.
'Man, why do they have to wear towels?' Thought the peepling Chosen, then fell back in shock when he falt a tap on his shoulder, he spun around and saw Lloyd. "Oh..hey Lloyd."
"Zelos...what are you doing?" asked the veru curious teenager.
"Heheh, checking out the ladies...look through the hole here..." said the Chosen with a somewhat playful sinister tone.
Lloyd with his curiousity, looked through the hole and saw the girls and blushed beet red, he was about to yell, but shut his mouth, and turn back to Zelos, who was holding back his laughter from the look on Lloyd's face. Lloyd then playfully punched him in the arm, and they headed off back to the house. Meanwhile at the springs, Colette looked back in the direction of the peep hole, Sheena turned to her, and tilted her head in confusion.
"Something wrong?" She asked curiously.
"Huh...oh nothing...just thought I heard some snickering just now." She said while looking back at Sheena.
"From my guess, I'm thinking it was Zelos.." spoke up Raine with a somehwat annoyed look at the thought of it. Presea nodded in agreement.
"Yea...but sounds like he left."
"Hopefully..."
After the boys had their turn, it was night time, and the gang was just too relaxed to go anywhere. But as for Lloyd, he wanted more time in the hotspring, so he snuck out of the house, and hopped in the springs with his shorts on, and just sat in the tub and relaxed...'If only we could spend time like this...but life has a time limit...'
He then heard some footsteps, and looked back , and he then blushed beet red...it was Sheena...wrapped in a towel, and her face was blushing like crazy as well, but saw Lloyd was in shorts, and sighed with relief, quietly to herself.
"Oh...I didn't know you'd be here too.." She said somewhat quietly, but also with a very nervous tone.
"Uh..I didn't know anyone else would be here too..." He then twidled with his fingers, and then looked up with a raised eyebrow.."Do you wanna come in..or are you..." he said while gesturing his finger to her towel, she looked down and somehwat giggled.
"Ohoh, don't worry, I have a suit under it...' She then kinda blushed at his question, cause Lloyd was thinking about her body probably..which kinda made her feel a bit nervous, and shocked 'Wow...he really is not oblivious...' , she then nodded with a light smile 'Sure..." she then removed the towel, and was in a purple like bikini with the sides being held together with thin strings, Lloyd blushed a bit, and started to hide the blush, but relaized it was dark outside...so it may not be noticeable...Sheena then slipped in the pool, and sighed with relief.
"Ahhh...I haven't sat in a hotspring for a long time...welll expect this morning..." She said with a consent like moan. Lloyd then tilted his head in wonder.
"You mean there are more of these?" He asked curiously.
'Yea..Mizuho has one, but it's kinda hard to see since it behind a small wall, and a couple of big rocks..and I heard that there is one in Atlamira somewhere, but only Zelos told me about it..so I don't know if he's right or wrong."
"Wow...you know it's wierd, we don't have a hotspring in Slyverant."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I think the hottest pool I've heard of, was a certain piece of the Oasis in Triet."
"Wow...how did you guys relax then?"
"I'm not sure, but my dad told me, that they usually have a place where you can get your back and shoulders massaged."
Sheena smiled happily and with excitement "Oh I always loved a good massage...Mizuho has something like that, but it's kinda weird...umm..." She then blushed a bit.."Could you..."
"Could I what?" He asked trying to get Sheena to finish her question.
"Could you massage my shoulders, they are a bit sore..." She finally finished with a very deep shade of pink on her cheeks.
Lloyd then felt his cheeks get kinda warm, but then mustered up his courage, and nodded "Sure..."
Sheena was kinda shocked to hear that from Lloyd, but smiled. She then swam over to Lloyd and turned her back to him, Lloyd then stretched out his fingers to get them relaxed too, then he started to reach for Sheena's shoulder, but his hands were shaking like crazy. 'C'mon Lloyd, you can fight an angel, and fight a stronger swordsman than you, but can't massage a girl's shoulder?' Then he felt his hands on her shoulders, and began to massage softly, then started to increase the pressure to a pleasureable state. Sheena felt like she was in Vinheim (AKA Heaven, for you who call it that), she moaned soflty, which kinda made Lloyd blush, cause the moans sounded like the ones from the dream he had in Mizuho. But he continued to massage her, but then she nudged him, as a signal to move down to her back, when Lloy'd hands went lower, she bent her back a bit, to help Lloyd geta a good grip on it, she moaned some more 'Wow...his hands feel so good...hopefully he doesn't go lower...or hopefully he does...' She thought to herself, but then felt weird, cause she wanted to get goosed..usualy she always against that, but something about Lloyd...she trusted him, and cared for him...in fact, for a while, she has gotten very attached to Lloyd, much more that she did when they first started to fight together...it grew a lot more after Volt's attack.
Meanwhile, Lloyd was getting into it, and contiued on, seeing that Sheena was enjoying the massage, but then he lost track of how low his hands were..cause he was looking at Sheena the whole time...he kept moving his hnda lower, then he felt his hnads starting to massage something that was very...soft, the he saw Sheena's expression, which was wide-eyed, and beet red faced, he then looked down and saw his hands were on her butt. he then pulled his hands away with a beet red face, and a nose bleed. Sheena then saw his face, and giggled. She playfully shoved and started to tease him.
"Lloyd Irving...I knew you were a courageous man, but whew...you have guts.." She said with a playful evil glare, but made it look serious enough to scare him.
Lloyd then started to back away with some nervous chuckles, and then tried to make a jump for it, but Sheena grabbe dhis ankle, and pulled him back with a playful evil laugh. She then dunked his head in the water, and pulled him out a few seconds later, he coughed up some water, and tackled her playfully in the water, she was giggling the whole time. About a few minutes of wrestling passed by, and they saw how late it was getting. SDo they hopped out of the water and headed inside, but before they headed into their rooms. Sheena pulled to her, and she kissed his cheek. Lloyd grew a bit a red, and chuckled nervously.
"Uh...what was that for?" he asked with a blushed face,
"Hehehe, for the massage..and the wrestling match..I haven't felt so relaxed, and child-like in years." She said happily.
"Oh, I had a great time too, we should do things like that more often.." Lloyd said in agreement.
"Yeah...I'm sure something could be arranged...same time, same place?" She asked with a happy smile.
"You got it!" He said a bit loudly.
'Shh..don't wake the others." She said while covering his mouth. She giggled at him, and kissed his cheek again as a form of goodnight, and slid into her room while looking back at Lloyd.
Lloyd smiled happily, and slid back into his room, he was sharing it with Zelos that night, who looked like he was asleep. So he then laid down on his bed quietly, and let out a sigh of comfort. He then heard Zelos chcukle lightly. "So...where were you Lloyd?"
"Huh...oh I was at the spring.."
"By yourself...?"
"Umm...y-yea..thats right..."
Zelos sat up and raised his eyebrow, and then grinned. 'Lloyd, you don't really know how to lie good don't you?"
"Uh uh...no I don't, I was with Sheena."
"Oooh...so what did you do?'
"I...I uh..I gave her a massage."
Zelos then grinned, and gave a thumbs up "Nice job, what else?"
"Um...I accidently goosed her."
Zelos chuckled himself to the floor, and came back up, and smiled "Nice...what did she do after you goosed her."
"She..dragged me into the water, and started to wrestle with me."
"Wow, really? Huh, she nice to you, she knocked me unconscience when I do that."
"Yeah., and then she kissed my cheek as a thanks, and a goodnight."
"Lloyd, you are one lucky bastard."
"How's that?"
"before I gave up on Sheena, I tried for 3 years to get with her, and only got a hugh..you have known her for only half a year, and kisses your cheek..."
"Wow...I'm sorry.."
"Hah, what are you sorry for, you are so much better for her than me anyway, she needs a man with courage."
"Huh...you are just as courageous as me.."
"Well...that may be true, but you have a unique quality that she might adore."
"Yea, you could be right" Then Lloyd started to yawn. "Well I need to get some rest, Good Night Zelos..."
"Yea..Good Night"
They both fell asleep peacefully, but in Sheena's room, she was holding herself, and with a big grin on her face, she officially knew it, she was in love with Lloyd, she wanted to tell him so badly too. And, she wouldn't be scared, cause she can see it in Lloyd's eye, he loves her too...and sshe pined for him...to be her first time...she was hoping it happenend tonight, but just didn't wanna do it in a hotspring. She sighed a bit sadly, and then wrapped herslef in a blanket and fell asleep. Dreaming about Lloyd and her, by themselves on a mountaintop, holding each other watching the sun fall...this was the side she was scared to show Lloyd, cause her life was all about bravery and strength...but action frail, and emotional like Colette, was too much for her. Maybe the day they are alone, she'll let it out.
'Lloyd...sleep well...'
