How'd you guys like the two lemons? Anyway, there won't be any mature themes from here on out, so don't expect anything big.

...Okay, maybe that's a lie. Enjoy!

Lima sat in silence with Windsickle under the tree that he had selected to sit under. She kept her gaze on the moon, trying to ignore the sounds that her teammates were making as Windsickle finally said, "Nice night, eh?"

The girl nodded, finally having something to take her mind off the erotic sounds of her friends making love. Her ears flattened in annoyance as Windsickle asked, "Something wrong?"

Shaking her head, she replied, "…no…."

"Oh…well, okay then…," he said. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed her opposite shoulder, pulling her close to him. Lima's eyes widened in surprise as he said, "You're…really cute…you know that?"

"…cute…," she repeated. A word that Delta would sometimes call her. She glanced up to him and said, "…thank you…."

Windsickle smiled at her, causing her to blush.

Ever since the date he had taken her on, she had begun to feel something warm well up in her chest. It was a curious feeling; one that she had for Delta when they had first met. But this one wasn't one where she would consider him family, though. This feeling was something completely foreign to her; a feeling she had never felt in her life.

"…Wind…?"

The boy glanced at her, feeling her take his hand. He raised an eyebrow in curiosity, only to blush madly as she put his hand right above her breasts. He began to panic a little as Lima felt his warmth on her chest.

"…It's…warm…," she said. Windsickle took in a breath as he said, "W-well…m-maybe it's…w-well…love!"

"…Love…?"

"Y-yeah," he replied, "Its wh-when you g-get a warm feeling in your chest! O-or when you feel butterflies in your s-stomach!"

"…butterflies…," she said, putting his hand on her stomach. Windsickle let out a sigh as Lima felt something similar to butterflies flying around in her stomach. She felt a little hint of static as his hand went over her skin, tightening up a bit. Windsickle quickly brought his arm up, prepared to catch her if she wasn't feeling well.

"L-Lima!"

She shook her head, looking up at him. Windsickle suddenly felt entranced as he stared into her golden orbs. She blinked several times, cocking her head to the side as she stared at him with increased curiosity. His eyes weren't like Delta's; they were emerald while her partner's were amethyst. His hair was also messier than her black-violet haired partner's as well. Yet, they were practically identical in personality.

"…Wind…."

Before she knew it, her eyes were closed and her lips on his. Windsickle blinked, then widened his eyes in shock and surprise as she pulled away, looking deeply in his eyes.

"Is…this…love…?"

Lima flattened her ears in embarrassment. Windsickle sat in place, astonished at what she had just did. Lima could hear his heart beat begin to quicken. She frowned, taking it as a sign that she had done something wrong.

"…I…I'm…sorry…," she said, her ears flattening.

Suddenly, Windsickle grabbed her by her shoulders. Her ears perked back up as she looked up at him, suddenly feeling his lips meet hers. This time, her eyes widened in surprise as he pulled away, quickly glancing to the side as he said, "I…really…like you, Lima."

The girl blinked in confusion as he said, "S-since…well…I first saw you talking with Delta! I really thought you looked cute and…well…before I knew it, I was thinking about you every day…I wasn't sure if you were dating him or whatnot."

Lima ears began waving in happiness as she kept her straight face.

"Delta…partner…," she stated, putting her head on his chest. It was then that she noticed he was also taller than Delta. Probably by an inch or two.

"Oh! You two are partners?"

She nodded, looking back up at him. Windsickle sighed with relief and said, "Well…at least now I can ask you with a little dignity."

"…dignity?"

"Lima Kerrigan," he stated, "Please be my girlfriend!"

The girl blinked in mild surprise. Girlfriend? Isn't that what Ruby is to Delta? Or Yang to Hotel? To be in a relationship second to only marriage?

Lima dropped her head, looking away. This feeling that she was feeling around this boy. The feelings of love. This feeling that, despite being so foreign to her, felt so right. This feeling that made her complete.

But she couldn't.

She had her team that she was committed to. She couldn't possibly do what Delta and Hotel were doing with Ruby and Yang. She wasn't like them. She couldn't live two lives. She wasn't raised that way.

And yet, here this boy was, confessing to her. She wanted to say "yes" and kiss him again. But at the moment, she couldn't let these feelings distract her.

"Oh…," she heard Windsickle say, "I…guess it's a no then…."

Just then, Lima raised her head again, kissing him by surprise. He blinked several times, but then closed his as she pressed herself against him, pulling away with her forehead on his. Windsickle quickly mentally prepared himself for a huge rejection.

"…Delta…is…my…partner…," Lima stated, "…SHLD…is…my…team…."

Windsickle blinked, then finally began to comprehend what she was saying.

"…My vow…never…abandon…team…," she continued, "…can't…focus…on…relationship, too."

"…so…please…," she finished, looking up at him with a smile.

"Wait…for me…."

Nothing could describe what she was feeling.

Regret.

Relief.

Happiness.

Sorrow.

Yet, Windsickle was comprehending it perfectly.

He smiled, pulling her into a hug as he translated.

"Delta is your partner, and SHLD is your team that you've vowed never to abandon. Yet, despite Hotel and Delta being in a relationship, you don't think you can keep up with one while fulfilling your duties as a team member and partner, right?"

Lima nodded, wrapping her arms around his back.

"Don't worry."

Her ears perked up again.

"I'll wait for you. I won't stop waiting. I'll never stop waiting for you, Lima."
