Author's Note: I love Jenos (not as much as Train though) and I love the fact that I think Jenos and Shaolee would be extremely cute together...So, there'll probably be hints of something between them...
He sat in a corner alone...Alone once again...Why did he come??? He's not a drinker, nor is he the age to drink yet, but this was a friend of his. His right hand moved quickly to his heart.
'What is this?' he thought as his hand gripped his shirt over his heart.
As of late, his heart as slightly been hurting, but it would only occur when his friend would leave his side or be around someone else.
'This is unacceptable...I'm an assasin...I am not suppose to feel like this?' he scolded himself.
His eyes laid across to the other side of the bar and saw his friend talking to some blond of course. Her dress was short and black. 'Careful there...She may be the real easy type.'
"Strawberry wine for a beautiful lady." he said tilting the bottle and filled her glass.
"Why thank you. What kind of job do you do, Mr. Hazard." she smiled.
Smiling back, he finsihed the last sip of the wine in his glass. "My business affairs are secret my dear. It's best you not know." he poured himself some more of the sweet smelling Strawberry wine. The aroma of it brought back memories and nearly dropped his glass. 'I haven't thought about that time in months.' he thought.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Huh?" his brown eyes looked at her brown eyes. "Um...Yes, I am fine. Would you like to leave?" As he scooted the chair away fromt he table, he felt a hand touch his shoulder.
"We hafta go." said the voice.
"Let us continue this another time my dear." he flashed her a charming smile and rose from the chair.
"Would you like my number?" she called.
"That won't be nesscary. I'll find you." he yelled back.
Outside was a bit chilly, but he felt warm knowing his friend was beside him. He was the taller one of the two and besides he hasn't had these feelings since that night.
The aching in his heart had stopped once they were out of the bar. "We got a call. Belze wants us to go to Train. Jenos are you listening to me?"
"Yes, I heard you." came his reply.
Turning his back now facing Jenos' face. "We better hurry."
"Shaolee.." he called.
"What is it?" he stopped.
"Nothing...Let's go get Black Cat." Jenos Hazard watched as Shaolee Lin walked ahead. A black car awaited them both at the end of the street and they got inside.
How was Jenos to tell him the truth. Yes, it's true, he was seeing someone right now, Rins to be exact, but these other feelings were making themselves clear now. What could Jenos do now???
