Love like never before

Chapter 15: SEIYA POV

After the party I went home and took a bath. Even though it was silly and I knew there was nothing there I scrubbed at my body like it was covered in dirt. I just felt so wrong. I tried not to think about any of the stuff that Terra pointed out. I really didn't want to even consider the thought that Ruby was lying to me. In fact I refused to believe it on that note. But the other stuff that was pointed out was a little harder to ignore. I blamed myself for everything but I'm wondering if I should have. Like with the cheating thing. That's immediately the option she jumped to when I couldn't tell her. Did I look like I had that type of reputation? Ok I admit that I like flirting a little bit, but I wouldn't go further than that, and certainly not in the middle of a relationship. I mean Ruby is the first girlfriend I've  ever had, why would I cheat? Maybe I should just go out with Terra if only to put all these doubts away. I won't have any if I'm dating someone else......right?

"Ugh! I wish she  never would have said anything!" I groaned and sunk my head under the water,hoping to drown out all these stupid thoughts.

Two weeks later:

I was in the house alone watching tv when there was a knock on the door. I got up to answer it to see Ruby at the door. I looked at her surprised, I definitely wasn't expecting her..

"Oh hey. What are you doing here?" I asked her smiling,softly.

"I just thought I would see what you guys were doing." She said looking at me, smiling back. I opened the door wider so she could come in, and closed it behind her.

"Well I'm watching TV but Yaten dragged Taiki to some store." I say laughing as I walked into the living room.

Ruby laughed as she followed behind me and sat down on the couch by me, sitting her bag down.

"I'm sure she loved that." I looked at her and smirked, raising my eyebrow.

"What do you think?" I asked skeptically, and we looked at each other and laughed.

"Also you know you have a key. You don't have to knock." I tell her laughing.

"Well yeah, but it doesn't feel right to just walk in." She says smiling.

"It's not like we won't know you're there." I say laughing.

"You will?" She looked at me confused.

"Powers remember?" I say laughing.

"But I thought only Yaten could do that?" She asked.

"We each have it to some degree, but hers is the strongest. She's the only one who can sense people using the stars. What this is, is more of a presence that feels familiar to you. We all recognize your presence, your aura. So you wouldn't surprise us if you showed up in the house all of a sudden." I explain grinning at the end.

"Well that.... makes sense I guess." She said making me laugh.

"So what were you watching?" She asked. I shrugged looking at the tv.

"Anything that looked good." I say chuckling. I looked at her and handed her the remote.

"You can pick something." She smirked taking the remote and started flipping through channels.

RUBY POV:

I was sitting there watching tv with Seiya, or at least I think she was watching the tv. Or trying to watch the tv. She was looking at it but I could tell she wasn't really concentrating on it. She looked to deep in thought.

"Hey." I said to her to get her attention. She looked over at me but her eyes weren't fully focused, almost dazed.

"Seiya?" I looked at her closer and grabbed her hand and squeezed it. She blinked and shook her head slightly.
