Why do you look at me like that, Xelloss? Do you suspect? The feelings I have for Amelia.. they’re all just an act. Do you know? No.. of course you know.. you know everything. You’ve seen how I cry at night because of this cursed body.. but then you must also know how I feel about you. I can’t explain what you do to me, you damned fruitcake.. Do you feel the same, Mazoku? I can’t help but wonder... can two monsters feel love? It’s not right, believe me, I know, but I can’t help how I feel. Amelia, I’m sorry if this news breaks your heart.. Lina, my friend, I’m sorry I’m so terrible.. Gourry...get Lina to explain all of this to you. Xelloss.. your eyes may scare others, but they entice me.. Gods help me, they excite me. Can I be the one you tell all your secrets to?
I’ve made up my mind. Tonight, I’ll tell you. I can’t keep secrets like you can; maybe with time. You’re easy to find tonight. Maybe it’s because you know I’m looking for you, but for whatever reason you’re there, in the darkness.
"Xelloss.." I’m surprised at how my voice sounds until I realize I’m crying. Slowly, you smile. Damn you! You’re mocking me, aren’t you?! Before I can storm off, my secret silenced for another night, you’re so close to me I can practically feel you, your eyes boring into me. I open my lips to speak but you silence me with your kiss and it’s sweeter than I could’ve possibly imagined. My entire body is over heating and the tears are rushing down my cheeks as you hold me in your arms and whisper
"I know."
Of course.. you know everything, don’t you Xelloss? "You do." It’s more of a statement than a question, but you smile nonetheless and nod, saying what I never could.
"I love you too."
