Loke walked quietly along one of the many stone paths around him. The stars around him seemed to shine that much brighter and he smiled. Everything was so much better without the looming threat of rejection. His fingertips brushed over his lips and he smiled a little bigger, hers had been there just hours ago but he could still feel her warmth, her arms around him, he could hear her quiet breathlessness as they pulled apart and he wanted to kiss her again. She was the only woman who had ever made him this giddy, he felt like a kid again and he wasn't complaining. He looked up and saw a petite figure walking towards him, Aries.
"Hey Leo, I've been looking for you!" The small spirit was quiet and shy, she had only started to gain her confidence back as she was finally with a good wizard. He waved at her and slowed down.
"Aries, how are you?" He asked politely. Things hadn't been the same since Lucy had acquired her key. Loke and Aries has been exclusive since well before Karen, but since he had been banished from the celestial world he had developed feelings for Lucy and Aries had moved on. They had gone on a few dates after he had returned but the spark had been lost. He had definitely loved her, she was a sweet girl but things had changed and she didn't seem to surprised to find the spark lost. She had told him that she hoped he found happiness again and they had been a little distant since then.
"I'm well, but I needed you to pass a message on to Lucy for me, I'm sure you'll see her before I do." She looked a little dismayed but she quickly snapped out of it, "Lyra and I are going to be gone for the next two weeks," she blushed, looking down, "I hope that won't be an issue but we're going on a vacation of sorts." She smiled playing with a strand of hair. Loke smiled,
"Of course, I hope you two have a good time." He spoke softly, if his intuition was correct, Aries would be a lot happier with love in her life once more. Aries beamed up at him,
"Thank you! I heard rumors about you and Lucy, is it true?" A glint of sadness flashed in her eyes but didn't last long, it was only natural to feel that way, when they had been together they had been in a world of their own, he had felt fiercely protective of her and she had felt almost completely dependent on him even though he encouraged her to be more independent. He chuckled,
"Ahh things spread quickly don't they?" He blushed slightly, "I confessed to her last night how I felt and she reciprocated those feelings." He ran a hand through his hair, "we kissed." She smiled up at him placing a hand on his arm,
"I'm glad you've found happiness Leo."
"Thank you Aries." She waved as she started to wander off back down the path she came from, he waved back and started walking again, he missed Lucy like crazy and was excited to get back to her.
