Unfortunately for Aqua, Terra wasn't sure what he should say. This was not something he knew how to handle and while he knew it was impossible he wished he had some sort of warning that he was going to be hit by this today. The one question rolling around in his mind now was Well, what do you feel for her?

He could remember very recently protesting to Linkara that they were just friends but...was that really ALL they were. Surely by now there bond was deeper than that but could he label it as something like...like what Aqua was implying? He knew that, in the past, he had looked at her differently, as someone more than just a fellow student. Honestly, if he compared what he felt for her with what he felt for Ven, well, there was no comparison. Ven was like a little brother, a best friend he could fall back on but still someone he felt he needed to keep an eye on. But Aqua...Aqua was different. He could look at her and see her strength and beauty and know that she was someone special.

And he wasn't sure he deserved that. It hit him, as he stood there in stunned silence watching Aqua watching him try to find something to say. He couldn't SAY anything to her and she deserved more than what he could give her...Minako to for that matter. What future did he have anyway?
