A/N: I decided to try this one (though I never played the game), I hope I didn't screw it up. There is fluff, then there is angst. Ack.

She looked down at him, newly received necklace in hand. As if she would ever like him back. Ever. With a huff, she turned around and headed for her room, not saying a word.

There was absolutely no way in Tethe'alla her cheeks were red! And that necklace he had handed her—Ohhh, she was going to throw it out! For sure! Who would want it! It was pink and silver and shiny and really, really pretty and—

"Ugh!" she slapped herself.

...She continued to try and 'convince' herself all the way back, the frequent slapping of a palm into her face and the deadly glare combined with the heated blush adorning her cheeks kept all onlookers far, far away.


Sometime later...

Blood seeped through the cracks in the floor, pooling around her and slowly staining her dress.

I guess this is... The end for both of us...

A damp hand slipped into hers. Decus... I never did tell him how I felt, did I?

There was a cough, then a weak, breathless chuckle. "I always knew you... nngh... liked it."

Her hand gripped his just a little tighter, and she turned her head weakly to look to him. Their eyes met conveying a message only they knew, and she smiled softly. There were no more words needed. You always did understand how I feel, Decus... Even if I myself denied it.

The pink and silver necklace gleamed from its place around her neck as their bodies grew cold.
