So, there you have it, my first fic in, uhhh, very long. Enjoy! Rant moved to the bottom so I don't scare new readers off…
Zelos sighed softly as he looked at his "bud". Damn Rain and her "buddy system". It always got him stuck in a room with Lloyd. Innocent Lloyd who'd usually change right in front of him. Who'd walk around in a towel, soaking wet after a bath. He blushed slightly at the thoughts.
Lloyd caught his eyes and cocked his head to the side. "Something wrong, Zelos?"
He sighed again and turned to stare out the window. Did she honestly not see his infatuation with the boy, or was she just out to kill the Great Zelos slowly and painfully?
He sobbed in fake self-loathing.
"Oh, why is the world so jealous of my beauty?! I can't help it I was born with a pretty face! And a pretty body, and voice, and–Owww! Lloydie!"
Lloyd rolled his eyes as he grabbed the pillow he'd thrown at his roommate back.
"Here I was, wondering if something was wrong with you, but you're just feeling sorry for yourself for no reason again…"
"Awww bud! I do have a reason! My arm still hurts from before!"
Lloyd snickered. "Well, you kind of deserved that."
Zelos pouted and looked as cute as he could. "I don't think I deserved to get kicked by that gorilla, just 'cause I was looking at his girl! Besides, she wasn't that cute, he shouldn't need to worry about her getting stolen."
Lloyd stared at him. "Just looking, with you hands?"
"Details, details. The point is, I'm soooo sore! I need to be taken care of!"
"Hmm. You want an icepack then?"
Zelos beamed at him. "And a cup of hot soup and then you have to tuck me in and rub my poor arm!"
Lloyd said nothing, just rolled his eyes again and went out of the room. Presumably to get an icepack.
Zelos sighed and flopped down onto the bed. Despite his attempts to act cool, Lloyd was just too kind to not help his friends, even if they weren't really hurt.
But, that was what made him all the cuter he supposed. He lay there for a while thinking about Lloyd.
"Zelos, you've got that funny look like when you're peeping at Sheena."
Tensing, Zelos put his usual grin back on his face and turned to face the reason he'd been having that look.
"Heh, I can't help it."
"Whatever." He handed his friend the icepack "I thought she was downstairs though. Did she come by here?"
"I don't think so."
Lloyd stared at him confused. "You're so hard to understand."
"Really?" The redhead looked at his friend in contempt. "Why is that?"
"Uhh..?"
"… Don't think too hard Lloyd, your head might burst."
"S-Shut up. That's exactly why. One moment you're serious then the next you're not! How should I ever know if I should listen to you or not?"
"Why don't you just always listen?"
"Because most of the time, you're just whining or trying to convince others of your twisted Zelos-logic."
Zelos just grinned at the comment. Lloyd stared at him.
"Now you're the one staring, bud."
"Zelos. Why are you on the bed?"
"To sleep. Why else?"
"It's my turn to sleep in the bed tonight!"
Once more Zelos cursed Raine. Why did she always stick two people in a single person room? Scrooge lived…
"Aww, but Lloydie! I'm hurt! You can't make a wounded man sleep outside in the Flanoir cold!"
Lloyd snorted at him. "I already got you an icepack, and you're not outside, and it's not cold, for Flanoir standards."
Zelos put on the cutest puppy eyes he could muster. Lloyd just stared then shrugged and sat down on the bed.
"I'll kick you onto the floor if you hog the blankets."
"Uhh?!"
It was Zelos' turn now to stare in utter confusion as Lloyd lay down on the bed with him. Finally he snickered softly and ruffled his buddy's hair. "You're really something, you know that?"
Lloyd shot him a questioning look as he struggled to pull the blankets out from under Zelos.
"I mean, not many people would worry about the blankets when they're in bed with me" He flashed his obnoxious grin as his bunkmate turned crimson.
"You- Try anything funny and I'll, uh.."
Zelos looked at him, immensely enjoying teasing his friend. "Yes, go on?"
"uhh.. Well, you won't be worrying about a bed anymore, since you'll be in hospital bed!"
"Ohh, touchy! But don't worry hun, I won't do anything you don't want me to!" And with that he also crawled under the blankets, and slid his arm around his 'hun' who blushed again and murmured something incoherent, but didn't push him away.
As the two fell asleep, Raine watched from the shadows, snickered and made a note in a little scrapbook she always carried around. "Finally, the subjects seem to be showing some progress… Very interesting, yess…"
I hope you liked it, or at least thought it wasn't totally disgusting. Reviews are appreciated as well, but I'm sure you already knew that. Hopefully, the next chapter will be up soon, but I, uh, can't guarantee anything. The Nintendo Wii will (finally) be released here in Holland the 8th of December, so if I manage to get my hands one one I'll be playing Zelda: Twlight Princess none-stop for a week or so.
I want to write a KratosxYuan fic there's a bit of a trauma for me in connection to pairing Kratos up with anyone, since when I first played the game, I'd labeled Lloyd and kratos the hottest bishies within minutes, and, well, the logical conclusion was to pair them up together. I didn't like Zelos my first playthrough. So, I got quite a shock during that little scene over at Altessa's, since I had been too busy mis-interpreting the overly-obvious hints that Kratos was somehow related to Lloyd… Although I admit still enjoy a little incest between them every now and then.
Anyway, I get my regular dose of Kratos-Yuan-ness from my friend Meowzy, with whom I also cosplayed the ToS gang. I was crossplaying as Lloyd, she as Yuan, and the girl who'd later become my girlfriend was crossing Zelos. We had pretty much everyone except Mithos and Martel, it was really fun. We did a Zelloyd act 3.
