A/N: One of my promised pairings - Rythna. Just basically a conversation between the two, while Rythian has been trapped in a glass cage by the one and only crazy scientist Lalna.

"You'll have to let me out of here eventually." The voice broke through the silence, even if it was muffled behind glass. It caught the blonde's attention, giving him something to think about apart from all the numbers and statistics.

"Why?" The scientist glanced at the Enderborn through the glass. He was just sitting in the centre, watching Lalna carefully with his glowing eyes. "What's to stop me from keeping you in there?" Lalna asked. If he could see his mouth, Lalna would've sworn Rythian would have been smirking.

"Because you love me." Lalna blinked, taken aback. He felt his face turn red, glancing away.

"I-I have no idea what you're going on about." He muttered. "I have no feelings for you, Rythian. You might feel something for me, but I'm sure it's just anger anyway." Lalna pointed out. The laugh caught him off guard. He turned back to the Enderborn, who was curled up slightly from laughing. Once Rythian had recovered, he sat up and looked at the scientist.

"Wow, and I thought you were supposed to be smart." His eyes held the glint of teasing, causing Lalna to blush more. "Maybe I feel that way about Sjin, but you..." The Enderborn snaked his way to the edge of his glass cage, pressing his hand against it. "You...I can't resist you." He whispered, gently pressing his forehead against the glass. Their gazes were locked, and Lalna could do nothing about it. Those captivating eyes...who COULD resist? He slowly walked over to the glass, pressing his own hand against it so it mirrored Rythian's. "And you can't resist me." The words were hushed, making Lalna listen harder. Lalna clenched his hand into a fist slightly.

"..." His cheeks were dusted red, as his eyes eventually broke away from Rythian's. "...Why? Why do I love you so much?" He whispered. Rythian moved so their gazes met again.

"There doesn't need to be a why. It just is." He replied. "Now, let me out of here. It hurts you as much as it hurts me." He added quietly. Lalna turned away, trying to ignore the Enderborn. He didn't want to be manipulated so easily by his love.

"I don't understand. We used to hate each other, but now...how is this possible?" He flinched when a pair of arms wrapped around him. Lalna glanced over his shoulder, seeing the familiar Ender eyes.

"You didn't exactly reinforce the glass. I could get out any time." Rythian whispered, kissing Lalna's cheek through his mask. "Now...just relax. It's just us two. We can enjoy this." He nuzzled his head against Lalna's, his arms holding him close. Lalna rolled his eyes, cursing to himself as he enjoyed it. He wanted to know why he felt this way. But, apparently, there was no answer. So instead Lalna just let it happen, his own arms around Rythian's form. He rest his head against Rythian's chest, listening to the heartbeat. Fingers ran through his messy blonde hair, soothing him. "Just us two together. Let's enjoy it, Lalna."

A/N: A bit short, but it's sweet. Considering my mind is more in fantasy/angsty-ish kind of mode, I'm impressed with myself xD Anyways, enough from me. Hope you enjoyed it~
