Now, while everything he’d said was true, there was a reason they’d even bothered getting their hands dirty for something as mundane as that. No, it wasn’t because she wanted to be seen as ‘good,’ although maybe Surge would. They were just in the way, kicking up dirt where they shouldn’t be, and somehow it reached even her ears.

Somehow.

It wasn’t like a certain someone’s involvement with a certain group hadn’t been the cause of it all or if they did keep updated with the strange environment there.

    ‘ You make it sound like it’s a difficult task. ’

She smirked like a cat with a bird between their teeth.

   ‘ Unfortunately, I’ve got my hands tied with some psychic ‘things.’ ’

UH OH! THERE HE GOES, FALLING RIGHT ONTO THE GROUND! Too bad he was too distracted from getting all of these nice new rocks, now they’re on the ground because of this surprise attack from the other Champion!

The day had finally arrived.

He had been preparing the past few days, and had waited until the early hours of the morning to put it all together.

After many long hours, the psychic made it back to his room just as his colleagues began to stir. When they went to their respective rooms, offices, gyms, or went looking for certain objects, they would be greeted by the annual tradition.

It’s like her heart stops. Right there. Karen’s blood runs cold and her body stays as frozen as her heart feels in that moment staring at him. Tell him secrets..? The one man she wanted and craved attention from since her time starting as an elite? Surely every girl has her secrets, but Karen’s were bigger.. deeper and hurt Lance far more than he probably could have guessed.

“ I guess all I’ve got to lose is you. So it doesn’t really matter does it? I can’t promise you’ll enjoy what you hear Lance, but please don’t hate me.. I can’t beg you enough to not.” At least her heart will finally be free, even if it ruins her again.

“I’m so scared all the time that I’ll lose what I made for myself. When I was a girl, my brother died and I lost my home and family. It was my fault or so my parents wanted to believe and they didn’t have a use for my anymore. Or... well. My father didn’t have a use for me anymore..” She puts an emphasis on it, hoping it would catch to the champion. “I regret to mention that since then, my biggest fear is that I’ll some how make you also come to hate me so much.”

“My next secret is something you’ve probably already known but.. I love you. Not in the school girl crush, or admire you from a far. I really, really love you Lance. I love everything that is you, being with you and hearing you at my side. I’ve known for so long that it’s practically a rehearsed song in my head, playing over and over when I think of your strong hands holding mine and holding me close. I’ve never wanted a family because mine was so broken but.. truthfully.. if you asked me to be yours forever. Having a family wouldn’t be so terrible...” Which made the next secret unbearable to mention.

“We would be dating by now if that were actually the case.”    

Giving Lance a BIG hug (that would probably crush most people) in return, Clair was about to question just why he’d decided to show up. If something had gone wrong and --- right, she was right.

She shivered at the very idea. 

There was nothing more terrifying than Grandfather’s urges. It was a miracle their family didn’t have more branches than it had with the way Grandfather operated. The old man was in his early three digits and he still managed to put fear down the dragon master’s spine.
