A/n: So I did something a little different for this chapter... Don't worry! We'll get Ix POV eventually. I just want to set things up more first!

Chapter 2

Luxury’s pov

I was just back from fighting a slime monster when I next saw Jacques. He looked gorgeous as usual with his chocolate brown eyes and pale skin; and I just couldn't believe what he'd told me last night, so I took the opportunity to walk over and ask him.

“Jacques, did you mean it?” I asked him. He turned those beautiful eyes on me, but a tiny frown marred his lovely face. “You've really given up on...on everything...to find your True Love?”

“That's right, Luxury,” he replied. I shivered when he said my name, just like always. I feel so much more alive when he's around. “I'm searching for True Love. If someone like me can even find it.”

I wasn't really sure what he meant--didnt he know that just seeing him made my heart beat faster? But he didn't continue, so I tried to be as courageous as he always is, and asked, “Jacques...do you have anyone in mind?”

“No,” he said bitterly. “I'd know by now if my True Love was someone I'd already met. I'm probably destined to be alone.”

Oh.

“I,” I said. “Jacques, I...I always thought that, well, that if you loved anyone, then it'd be me! I mean, we have so much in common—”

“Not anymore, don't you see?” he interrupted. “I've given up sleeping with people I've just met—”

“I could give it up too, for you!” I cried. I meant it, with every fiber of my being. “Jacques, I...I love you.”

“And I love you,” he replied, and I stopped breathing, “but only as a friend Luxury.”

“But, but, but we've slept together…”

Jacques laughed bitterly. “So what? We've both slept with most of HQ! And you're not in love with anyone else, are you?”

I had to admit that I wasn't, but didn't that make this so much more special?

Apparently not, because he managed to end the conversation and leave a minute later, with a kiss on the cheek for me. I lay right down to cry there in the corridor when he was out of eyesight.


A/n: aw, poor Lux... unfortunately, this isn't her love story. Maybe sometime I'll write a story about that, but it's not this one!!

No preview of the next chapter this time... I'm still getting through what I previewed at the end of the last chapter! It should've said "preview of following *chapters*", probably... Heh :)

Don't forget to review! I love yo know what you think...and the more reviews I get, the faster I write!!!
