Starting from close to the end of the truth being told to te boys...
"I understand that what I'm saying is hard to believe...but I can prove it."Lexi was explaining. Proving it was a good idea but they already took so muc in and we can't spill everything. It's against our oath as guardians.DAMMIT! Now I have to stop her!
I elbowed her,"Enough." I hissed. The guys had puzzled expressions over me clamping a hand over Lexi's mouth. "Everything she said is true, we just need you guys to avoid us until we have time to figure out how to fix this." I told them, very close to beating them senseless, then crying for hours on end.
I looked at Near, vaguely aware that Lexi was looking at the other two. They nodded towards Lexi while I was transfixed with Near. They glanced back at me.
"But, technically, we can't..." Matt said, walking over to Lexi and pulling her up to her feet. Near nodded slightly, I noted, watching him from the corner of my eye.
"No, we really can't..." Mello agreed, both of them walking Lexi to the door. She glanced at me and mouthed, 'HELP!' but I was too busy studying Near to respond.
"You guys are kinda important to us..." The others said in unison, opening the door. Near nodded again.
"So, we need to keep track of you..."
"Even if it's dangerous..." Matt kissed Lexi left cheek. Her face turnig red as she blushed.
"B-Bu---" She sputtered, but Mello cut her off.
"Right.." He kissed her other cheek. I wish Near would do that as both her and my cheeks turned beet red.
"B-But!!" She glanced at me. I mouthed 'Go on! We'll talk later! I'm busy, go use my room...' Then I glanced back at Near before she closed the door to her room.
Everything was quiet in the room until Near finally got up and walked over to where I was sitting on Lexi's bed. "Do you really want me to ignore and avoid you?"
NO!!!" Yes," I say, my voice no more than a whisper," I want you to forget about me, and love," I flinch, "someone else."
I look down and listen to his breathing quicken, his hand is over mine's a second later. He wants me to look at him...I turn my head away.
He uses his free hand and puts it under my chin, he turns my head so that I was looking right into his eyes.
"NO." it was soft but final, "Not now...not ever." He takes a deep breath before he says, " I...I..." he takes another breath and says once more, "I love you, now and always. I am not going to give you up because my life is put in danger because of it."
He starts smiling slightly, "I've never said that to anyone," he chuckles, "but for you, it sounds right. I love you more than anything no matter who you are, what you do, or what danger you are in." He leans in and kisses me before I could protest I started kissing him back.I'm sooooo weak. I said that I wasn't going to do this. I said that we were going to avoid this no matter what and...I give in just like that, just by a kiss. UGH!!!! I'm an idiot, but a rather happy one..
He pulls back after a little longer and asks me, "Do you love me? Do you want me to leave? What do you want me to do because I'll do anything you wish?" There was determination and hope in his eyes.I should say I want him to hate me and forget me but...I can't do it. Dammit!! I'm one hell of a person. I'm supposed to be the Protector, that was my guardian rank. Lexi is the Warrior, she fights for her people and her beliefs and I protect everyone. Doing this would go against my oath. Well, Lexi is always saying I need to be more selfish. I guess this is a perfect time to be so.
"I want you," I take a deep breath, "I want you to love me and keep me safe." I looked down, that was extremely selfish. Near goes onto the floor in front of me so that we were looking at each other, "Your wish," he says with a huge smile, "is my command." I slide off the bed into his arms and start crying. He pets my hair..."everything is okay as long as you're with me" he kisses my hair and waits until I'm done. After that we just sit there for a while. Someone knocks on the door, and Near and I walk hand in hand to answer it. Before I even open the door however, I turn back to Near and kiss him on the cheek, "Love ya and see ya tommorrow." He smiles and says, "Likewise" into my ear.
I open the door and Lexi walks in, Near gives her a quick hug then leaves. Lexi looks rather shock but returns it and says, "Bye Near, " as he passes her.She turns to me, "Enjoy your conversation?"
"Yeah," I giggle, "how could I not?"
