Summary: She loved you once.

Note: Set after T&T, the third game. After that, it's all AU. By the way, this story is also in second person.

"I loved you."

It's strange how only a few simple words cause your world to come to a crashing halt. You suck in a breath and suddenly have the impulse to reach out to touch her, to feel soft skin and silky hair and look into eyes to see if they are still filled with that childlike innocence she held because my God, she loved you, she loved you, she's right there all you need to do is reach over the table and –

"Once. A teenage crush, but I'm sure that it was a super serious one. Super, super serious." She giggles and her cheeks turn a pretty pink color.

It's also a few words that remind you that your fiancée is coming to this diner in ten minutes or so to talk about names for the growing life form in her body. Your fiancée hopes it's going to be a girl, but Maya says it's going to be a boy for sure. You think it's going to be a boy too. You close your eyes and try to forget, forget everything the girl across from you has just said because why didn't you notice before, why? It was obvious but you always had to stupidly look away and the small voice in your head is now yelling at you, screaming the words she loved you. Maya smiles and now the voice has multiplied and morphed into the faces of people you know chanting the same words over and over again.

She loved you.

Once.

The first of a hundred oneshots/drabbles focused on Phoenix and Maya. Do they have a couple name? Cause if not they seriously need one.

Maynix? Feenya? Hmmm...
