4)How Soon is Now?


I am the son, and the heir, of nothing in particular.

What was VEDA really, and how did it choose the people they needed. So when this Neil- no, when Lockon Stratos was chosen, Tieria new that they wouldn't ever get along. And, that VEDA was one sadistic bastard when it wanted to be.

He was Irish, and he was charismatic. He was also very attractive, but Tieria never allowed himself those thoughts.

I am human and I need to be loved, just like everybody else.

So the first time that Lockon called him cute, Tieria thought he was just hearing things. The third time it happened, Tieria decided that no matter what anyone thought, he liked it. But he would be damned if he let anyone know, especially Lockon Stratos.

The tenth time it happened, Tieria made sure that Lockon new. And the result was something that both would remember particularly well. So, after Tieria had shut him up rather forcefully, with a certain facial feature, Lockon never called him cute again.

Well, at least when anybody was in the vicinity.
