- be kind, english is not my first language-
Imagine this scene After the pact with volt.
Sheena has been isolating herself a lot, not talking to others, Always walking ahead of the party. She Took the nightshifts for 2 days not being able to sleep, having this Time alone to let it all go by herself, silencing her sobs to not wake them up.
On the third evening, Lloyd being very worried for his friend, kindly reached her, a hand on her shoulder
"- Sheena, tell me if i Can Do anything.. " he said softly.
Sheena, did not say anything for a minute, looking at the floor, hidden behind her bang.
" ... Sorry, i just need some Time.. "
Then she walked away as to Say she would be; again, taking the shift. Lloyd sighed then turned to zelos. The redhead, who secretly observed the ninja since then ((since the begining tho, anyway)), Saw his bud's struggle then decided to go After Sheena.
"Nice try Bud" he said, briefly placing a hand on Lloyd shoulder while walking past him.
She was there, sat on the ground, kinda hidden behind a thin tree. Her knees to her chest and her arms crossed on them; with her gaze Lost far away in the horizon. A kind wind brushed her face as to calm her down a bit as she closed her eyes and took a good breath.
Zelos walked as softly as he could until getting by her right side. He stood right here for a second or two, not saying anything, then sat close to her, in silence, gazing in the same direction.
Her eyes still closed, she knew who was there, she was used to his presence, but she didn't want to deal with his teasings right now.
"- if you are here to make fun of me, you Can go back to the camp. I'm really not in the mood and you know it very well... " sheena said, Her voice trembling as she contained the tears.
Zelos didn't reply nor reacted, he simply gazed at her, giving her some Time to accept him by her side. She did not complain at all.
They sat like this for a moment, in silence, with all the calm sounds of nature arround them and sometimes some voices were heard from the camp but nobody else came.
Zelos reached a hand in front of her, she heard the soft cloth of his glove near her so she opened her eyes.
- Why for? Told ya i'm not-
- Just trust me, please" he cut her
His cerulean eyes were soft, not teasing, he was dead serious and gentle looking at her.
Sheena hated those eyes, she hated them for being so honest sometimes, she hated them for loving them that much...
She sighed, and put her hand in his.
Then before she had a Time to think about what happened, Zelos pulled the Raven haired woman into his strong arms, then hugged her.
She wanted to get out of his embrace but as tired as she was, wasn't strong enough to set free.
"- Zelos let me go" her voice cracked as tears came up quickly to her eyes.
Again she felt as a burden, she didn't want to bother others with her grievance, they still had to get Colette back and it was more important.
" - Sheena, i know you, I waited long enough for you to grieve alone. Everyone is worried, i am worried. I may not show it but yes, i am worried, a lot. "
He tighten his hug so she felt secured enough without feeling stuck. Then her hand set and clinged to his arms gloves. Zelos knew she felt secured enough now, he knew she would let go soon. His chin layed gently on her hair and continued with his deep calm voice
" - you don't have to carry that burden alone, WE are here with you... I am here for you ..
Let us help you princess... "
And then she began to cry, it was all she needed to hear without even knowing. She needed someone to reach her, she needed her dear friend to help her although she denied that a lot. She needed him, his kindess hidden behind the philanderer he was..
Relieved she finally let herself cry, Zelos smiled, a bit of guilt for making her cry though, but he knew she needed it. So he held her tight for a minute or two, as long as she needed to feel better.
And voilà! I sometimes sketch little stories as this one on my sketchbook - or a part of it-
I Hope you'll like it. Tumblr may be a good social to share those soni may do so more often 😊
