OoOoOoOoO
I felt his arms grip me tighter from behind, pulling my body closer to his. His head slowly dropped down to rest at the base of my neck.
"Zel." I said in monotone. We were alone this time. There was no Gourry to walk in on us, he was fast asleep. I know. I made sure of it before getting up to take my bath, wanting to avoid his gaze… or rather, wanting to avoid his lack of one. Zelgadis knew it too… knew Gourry wouldn't be around this time either.
"I told myself I wouldn't love you, Lina." He spoke. I just stood there allowing him to hold me, unable to move away. "I knew you loved Gourry…" My face winced slightly. "…but after four years you two still…" Zelgadis's voice carried off.
I couldn't say anything, and I had so much I wanted too that my mind couldn't decide what should come first.
"I love you Lina…" He spoke against my back. "Not only for what you are, but for what I am, when I am with you."
Authors Note:
This is based off three things… first, a picture I did long ago on DevArt. Then the picture was based off an idea for a scene in this fanfiction idea of mine, that I most likely will never write, and it plays with the idea of Lina, Gourry and Zel in a love triangle. And the scene idea came from a quote I read online somewhere and liked… which is what the last thing Zelgadis says in this scene is, minus him using her name in it.
