Location: Sheena's room in CC
Rating: Not sure...
Time: March 30th
Description: Yamazaki has something to tell Sheena. Something important.

It had started out as a simple conversation as Sheena posted a picture of her new kitten and asked for names for it--since she's been having a tough time coming up with one on her own.

She had received several good suggestions, including the ones given by Zaki, but picking one--or many--from them would have to wait.

He had said something that concerned her--about why she would want to spend any time with him, but before she could explain further that her answer--that she liked him--was the truth, he had said he needed to talk to her about something important.

It must have been pretty urgent, too, since he was already at her door, causing her concern to deepen. Rushing over, she opened the door, her eyes narrowed with worry.

"Zaki? What's going on?"

Don't have the right?

[She stops as he continues, and a gentle smile touches her lips. She reaches for his hand to pull him to the sofa. This looks like a talk they need to be sitting down for.]

Don't deserve? I think I disagree with that. I want you here, okay? Now, tell me again what's going on, please?

[Yamazaki lets Sheena to pull him at the sofa, averting his eyes and stares at the floor.]

I've met a young man and...we had a conversation, and...

[No, he can't speak about this to Sheena!]

I just...feel the same way for him as I feel for you. And this is not right. Not fair. You should be the only one for me, that's what I want, but...it just doesn't work yet.

Oh, I see.

[She'd like for him to talk to her about it so he can get his feelings out in the open (look who's talking), but she won't push.

Instead, she puts her fingers under his chin and forces him to look at her.]

You can't always help who you fall in love with, Zaki. But, does he feel the same way about you? [She doesn't want to see him hurt if it's only one way.]

No.

[Yes this is so simple and painful, but it makes things less difficult for Yamazaki.]

He has someone. And I told him I wouldn't look for him again.

[These are the worst moments of his life. Being beaten up was half as hard like this.]

Please...don't be so kind to me. Hit me. Yell at me. Do something terrible to me. Just stop being so kind.

[Sheena watches him, concerned. He is really upset by this, and she won't do anything to make it worse.]

Zaki. Zaki, listen to me.

[She reaches up and brushes his hair back before putting her arm across his shoulders to gently pull him to her.]

I...think you've beaten yourself up enough over this. I'm not going to add to it, okay?

O-okay.

[If Sheena wants to see him calm and collected, he'll do it. That1s the least he must do for the girl after all the things he'd done.]

But what would we do now? What will you do now?

[She takes a few moments to run her hand over his back in a comforting manner.]

I haven't yelled at you or hit you, so isn't it obvious?

[She may be a little hurt about him being in love with someone else, but she's smart enough not to dwell on it--especially if he isn't.]

I see. You're right.

[A small and shy smile appears on Yamazaki's face. After all, it was obvious from the beginning of this nightmare.

I love you, but I understand you want to end our relationship. You have the right to go and find a better man. It won't be hard for such an awesome woman like you. And don't worry, I won't be mad.

[Or did he misread the situation again?]

[Sheena's jaw drops as she stares at him, before lightly whapping him on the head.]

You, Zaki, are an idiot. [Her voice is soft, but stern.]

I never said I wanted to end our relationship. In fact, I want it to continue. So, don't let me hear you say anything like that again, okay?

[Yep. He misread them, all right.]

[Yamazaki carefully places back the jaw where it belongs, and nods.]

Yes, yes, I'm an idiot, and that's why...

[What did she just say? WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY???]

You...don't want to...throw me out on the window, or make me drown into the toilet or chop me to pieces and cook dog food of me?

[She gives him a wry look.]

Do you want me to throw you out the window? I'm on the third floor, so it might be painful when you land.

[Shaking her head, she turns so she can face him.]

Zaki, why would I want to do something like that to you? Because you love someone else? Or because you're not a man anymore? And to be honest, I'm not exactly sure what that means.

You're being up front with me about this right from the beginning [Well, almost], so I'm not about to punish you for telling me the truth.

[Now, if he had waited, or she had found out months from now--then he'd be dog food.]

[Yes, a part of Zaki thinks it would be better if Sheena thrown him out on the window, but the bigger part of his mind says something else. He wraps his fingers around the girls wrist and pulls her to the coach, next to him]

Thank you.

[Sorry, Zaki, she doesn't quite agree with you on that.

With a small, surprised laugh, Sheena joins him and snuggles close, her fingers lacing with is without hesitation.]

You're welcome.

[She waits a moment before reaching up with her free hand to gently brush his hair back.]

You feeling better?

I don't get Sheena... XD But I'm glad she doesn't leave the silly boy :D

She acts on her feelings and instincts. And her feelings are telling her this is right. :D

It must be hard to play her XD

Sometimes. :D Irony: Having to think about someone's instant reaction.
