It was storming pretty hard. Everyone had been mostly confided to their homes to avoid the hard rain or..being struck by lightning. Kratos had gone off to visit Yuan and Dirk had gone underground for some work, leaving Lloyd alone at the house. He sighed and leaned against the doorway, looking outside at the rain.

"I hope Noishe is ok."

He tired to glance over at the house where the creature slept. He heard no noises or saw any movement so Noshie must have been asleep.

"That dog could sleep through Sheena and Zelos's arguing if he wanted to."

He grinned. It had been a week. A week since the chosen's birthday and when she said yes. Lloyd wasn't sure exactly what a boyfriend was suppose to do. When he approached Zelos on the subject he became frightened by the flirty details the redhead had giving him and went on about...sexual things. Lloyd then tried to ask his Dad..both Dad's about it. Dirk started rambling on about how women yell and throw heavy objects while the men take it, but it seemed to only be a dwarf custom. Kratos tried to suggest ideas but his relationship with Lloyd's mother wasn't really one to put into words. Expecully when he began to trail off the subject and eyes wonder towards the direction of the grave.

Lloyd groaned and looked off in the distance.

"To bad I can't ask you Mom. Your a women and would know what you like."

He rubbed his neck and sunk down onto the floor boards.

"Maybe I can go see Regal about it sometime. He's an older, mature male. He's had to have some experience."

He smiled when he thought about Colette. What did Colette like now. He couldn't do the same things as when he was her friend. She might think that it wasn't going anywhere and leave him. Losing the angel again was the last thing Lloyd wanted to do. His mind began to wonder again when there was a loud knock on the door. He took it to be thunder but it happened again. The man went downstairs and opened the door to see a soaked blond head and white clothes.

"Colette?" She smiled and parted the hair from her face,

"Hi Lloyd." He opened the door all the way and held out his arms,

"What are you doing you dork. Come inside before you get sick."

She laughed and the door closed behind her.

"I wanted to see you."

"Oh Colette." he rubbed his temples slightly,

"Couldn't you have waited till after the storm."

"Well, I was going to but.."

She screamed and gripped onto Lloyd's shirt at a crake of lightning.

"Are you still afraid of storms?" He asked at the women shaking in his chest.

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." He laughed, running his hand through her wet, cold hair from her face,

"I'll get you a bath ready ok?"

He grinned and went into another room. She heard the water turn on and steam come from the room and a towel hit her in the head.

"I don't want you getting sick." Lloyd smiled, pushing Colette into the bathroom.

"Go on." Colette smiled and shut the door.

"It's so warm! Oh Martel! It's so cute. Lloyd, the soap is shaped like a doggy!"

She yelled from behind the door. Lloyd laughed. He had slipped away from metal work for a while and carved soap when he needed to be distracted. Strangely, they always came out as dogs. There was another flash and a thunderclap and he heard Colette squeal in the bathroom.

"Your fine Colette. Just stick your head under the water. You won't hear a thing."

Lloyd pulled up a chair, throwing some dry clothes onto the table. He reminisced about when they were little. There was a bad storm while they were at school and were stuck there. He must have been bearly 10 at the time.

"Stay calm everyone. We just need to distract ourselves until it passes."

A young Raine said, trying to calm down the class. She was trying to pry kids from the windows, who were watching the storms, or trying to calm the crying ones.

"Hey Genis. I bet if you got struck by lightning you could cast it." Lloyd grinned and the half elf frowned.

"I dought that. I bet if you got struck by lightning your hair would fall." He grinned, playing off the fact that hair sticks up when struck by lightning.

"Very funny Genis." He knocked the boy in the head and looked around.

"Where's Colette?" Genis pointed over at the girl hiding under her desk. Lloyd leaned over.

"Whatcha doing?"

"Hiding."

"From the storm?" The silvery boy asked.

"It's scary." The blond girl flinched a the loud noise. Lloyd crawled under with her and sat beside her.

"It's ok. It won't get you in here."

She flinched agian and wrapped her arms around him. He was the closest source of comfort. Lloyd began to blush as she pushed tightly against his chest.

"I'm scared." She shivered. Genis sighed and looked over at Raine.

"Raine?" He blinked and left the front of the desk to find his sister. Lloyd looked down at Colette as she shivered.

"Here." He took off his jacket and wrapped it around her.

"But what about you?" He shook his head and looked down at his bear stomach

"I always go around like this at home so." He grinned.

"Besides. This desk is by the window so you got soaking wet when the rain came in."

Colette leaned back against the desk and smiled.

"Thank you Lloyd." Lloyd rubbed his head.

"You look tired."

"I am."

"Go ahead and take a nap. I'll make sure the storm doesn't get you."

Lloyd grinned but didn't stay awake long. The steady breathing of his friend was hypnotising and he fell back against her, falling asleep. Her chest was soft and warm and he liked hearing her heartbeat.

Lloyd smiled, coming back into reality.

"I've liked Colette that long?" He looked down at his glove less hands.

"She's was so soft. Huh..I wonder if she..." He shook his head and blushed violently.

"What are you thinking about?! Why in the world would I want to hold Colette like that. She's my girlfriend, not some hunnie that can be played with like Zelos would do."

He pulled at his collar, thinking about some of the things Zelos had told him. He was beginning to feel those urges the redhead had talked about.

"Damn you chosen."

He got up so fast he didn't see Colette standing there and bumped into her.

"Lloyd. Are you ok?"

He pulled at his collar more, seeing Colette wrapped in a towel. He had seen this before when they stayed at a hot spring Zelos was familiar with but it was different. Colette was 19 now, not 16. Her body was more mature then back then.

"I set some clothes out for you to change in until yours are dry." He thrusted them into her hand and pushed her up the sitars.

"I wait down here."

She blinked and looked at the clothes in her hands.

"What's wrong with Lloyd?" She looked down at her half naked self and smiled.

"Aww. I didn't know Lloyd was so shy. I wonder if that will makes things...difficult. Well then. I'll just have to toughen him up." She grinned.

Lloyd sat at the table, his fingers nervously tapping on the wood top.

"Stupid! What are you thinking? Get those dirty thoughts from your head. It's your GIRLFRIEND remember."

"Lloyd. Can you come up here?!"

Colette yelled. Her voice raised in the middle of the sentence when lightning flashed.

"Don't worry Colette."

His thoughts were shattered now. He was upset at the fear in his lover's voice. He looked at her sitting on the bed. She was wrapped tightly around a pillow.

"L loyd."

She chocked, trying to stop herself frowm shaking. Lloyd glanced over at his balcony door and pulled the doors shut.

"Is that a little better?"

He looked up at the dark sky. He didn't know for sure but it was fairly late. He hoped his Dads were ok. She nodded and Lloyd tilted his head slightly, looking gently at Colette.

"You know what this reminds me of?"

"What?"

"That one day at school, when there was that storm and you hid under your desk." The blond nodded.

"I remember. Then we fell asleep and Raine couldn't find us and Genis forgot which desk we were under."

She smiled and it faded quickly as she jumped to her feet at the thunderous sound. Lloyd quickly grabbed her shoulders and set her down.

"It's ok Colette. I'll make sure the storm doesn't get you." His deep voice echoed in her ears over the faint sound of thunder.

"You said that same thing that day also." Lloyd nodded.

"You remember what else happened?" She reached up from her pillow and pulled Lloyd's arm to sit beside her.

"You sat beside me with your jacket around me. You didn't care about not wearing a shirt." Lloyd blinked.

"Your memory never seizes to amaze me."

Lloyd smiled and notice her unbuttoning his jacket.

"What are you doing?"

He frowned but didn't fight back as she pulled his arm through the sleeve and wrapped the jacket around her shoulders. She laid on the bed and put the pillow behind her head.

"So warm."

She smiled and closed her eyes, flinching at the flashes and sounds of the storm. Lloyd's eyes followed her silhouette from her head to feet, his face growing flush. Colette had many curves that Lloyd hadn't really seen before. His pajama's brought them out under their soft material.

"Colette."

She opened one eye,

"Aren't you going to fall asleep on my chest like that day also?"

She asked. The angel was obviously trying to recreate that night. Apparently, she held onto it tightly. His face remained flushed as he looked at her chest. He wasn't thinking dirty thoughts but they looked so soft and inviting it embarrassed him.

"I don't mind."

She repositioned herself and Lloyd's body acted while his brain yelled at him. The brunette head rested gently against the soft breasts and his blush began to vanish. They weren't like Sheena's but they were perfect to him. While yes, her chest was softer, it still had that warm feeling and that heartbeat. Colette rubbed his head like she had seen Kratos do sometimes and his eyes closed.

"Colette."

"Yes Lloyd."

"Your hot."

He said before going asleep. The former chosen blushed and then smiled. She hadn't even noticed that the storm had died down.
