I think that's about when I realized that I had feelings, other than that of friendship, for Cye
of the Torrent. Warrior of trust.
~Flashback~
I yawned and slid my sunglasses down, watching the other guys wrestle in the water.
"Aren't you gonna go out there?" Mia asked, hitting my arm playfully. I smiled and laid
back down, my hands behind my head. "Nah, I thought I'd work on my tan." "So we come
to the beach, and all you do is lay there?" She looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"You're kiddin' me, right?" I asked, turning my head to look at her. She shook her head,
her reddish-brown hair bouncing with the movement. "You should talk." I grinned, and
looked back up at the clouds. Mia sighed, and I knew she had rolled her eyes at me.
"What are you lazy bums up to?" Cye teased, laying on his stomach between where I was
laying on my towel, and Mia was sitting in her chair.
"Waddya mean lazy? Layin' here, gettin' a tan takes a lot of hard work. You have to know
just how long to lay there before turning over and tanning the other side." I retorted, perring
over my sunglasses at him. Cye rolled his eyes, although smiling, and looked over at Mia.
"What about you?" he asked, opening and starting to drink a can of soda he had just gotten
out of the cooler.
"Hm. I've been watching you guys. That takes a lot of hard work too, ya know." she
replied, wiggling her toes in the sand.
"Yeah, I bet it does." Cye said, his voice full of sarcasm. He finished his soda and dropped
the can in the little pile next to the cooler. I raised an eyebrow.
"Goin' for a world record there, Cye?" I asked, taking a sip of my Dr. Pepper. Cye just
smirked at me.
"Come on, Mia." Cye pulled her out of her chair, and toward the water.
"What about him?" she asked, trying to pull her arm out of Cye's grip. He waved his hand
at me.
"He needs the tan!" he said, grinning.
"Thanks a lot, Cye." I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.
"You're welcome." he shouted over his shoulder as he and Mia waded into the water. I
watched him for a minute before realizing what I was doing. I admit I had looked all the
guys up and down before, but I tended to do that to Cye a lot. I ignored my thoughts and
turned onto my stomach. I took my sunglasses off, no longer needing them to block the
bright yellow sunlight. I could feel the warm sun burning my back as I closed my eyes. All I
could think about was Cye and how damn good he looked. I saw his washboard stomach
and muscled chest before mentally slapping myself. Wait a minute! He's one of my best
friends... not to mention a guy! I shook my head as if clearing it of those thoughts. It didn't
work. Damn. I had a crush on Cye. I closed my eyes tightly. Not good. Definitely not
good. What would the other guys think?
Hell, what would Cye think? He'd probably laugh at me. Besides, from my point of view,
he wouldn't find out. Mainly because I was too scared of his reaction to tell him.
I sat on the couch in our hotel room, watching the t.v. Well, that's what it looked like
anyway. We had come back inside a few hours ago.
Everyone else was either talking, reading or watching t.v. I glanced up as Mia laughed, to
see her playfully push Cye. I swallowed hard, refusing the urge to show any type of
jealousy. I forced my gaze back to whatever was on the t.v. I didn't even know.
"Cye, I have a question." Mia's voice brought me out of my thoughts.
"Hm?" Cye licked his fingers, getting all of the chocolate off of them. He had this weird
liking for strawberries dipped in chocolate.
"Why don't you have a girlfriend?" she asked. Great. You had to ask that didn't you? Now
he was probably gonna tell us about some girl he's been sleeping with, that we didn't know
about. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Cye, waiting for an answer.
"I'm gay." Cye replied, after a minute, shrugging nonchalantly. Eyes widened, jaws
dropped... and I fell off the couch. He glanced my direction, popping another strawberry
into his mouth. He swiped his finger along the inside of the bowl and started licking the
chocolate off it. God I wish he wouldn't do that. It was extremely arousing. Finally, he
broke the odd silence. "Why do you look so surprised?" His gaze switched to me. I sat
there, dumbfounded.
Everyone else looked at me. I opened my mouth to say something, but closed it instead. I
didn't know what to say. "I mean, it's what you wanted right?" he asked. All I could do
was sit there and stare at him. I felt so stupid.
"H-How did you..." I finally found my voice, but Cye cut me off. "I always watch you,
whether you notice or not... besides..." he shrugged.
"I'm the one that always notices that kind of thing, remember?" I nodded slowly. He put a
hand on either side of my face. "I love you." he whispered, before kissing me. His tongue
slid into my mouth, making invisible patterns.
I was so stunned, that I didn't do anything at first. Slowly, realization hit me, and I started
to kiss back. He smiled softly at me when we finally pulled away. I smiled in return, no
longer paying attention to anyone else in the room at the moment.
"I love you too." I whispered back. He smiled again, and leaned in to kiss me once more.
~End Flashback~
...and I was completely and utterly shocked when I came to realize that he reciprocated
those same feelings toward me. Rowen of Strata. Warrior of Life.
I shut the journal and put it back in the desk drawer, before cracking my knuckles. "Come
on love, or we're going to be late." Cye said, from the doorway. I looked over my
shoulder at him and nodded. I got up and grabbed my jacket off of the back of the chair I
had been sitting at, before going to the movies with Cye.
I hope everyone liked it! Tell me what you think!

There ya go!
