Priest in love

Summary:

Billy Lee Black has felt things he hasn't felt before and he doesn't know what it is. It is then that he meets a blue-haired girl with her eyes closed, which will make him realize a crazy little thing called love (light AU)

Notes:

This fic begins between several months and a year before the events of Xenogears, apart from the fact that Kelvena would not be a member of the Elements, but an Etone (so, technically she would still work for Solaris). And she wouldn't meet Ramsus until much later

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Chapter Text

Billy was bored. He has just returned home from the headquarters of 'Ethos'. All the children in the orphanage were sleeping soundly. Suddenly, a white-haired girl appeared in the shadows.

Billy: Prim? Prim, is that you?"

Prim: ...(Yes brother, it's me. What's the matter?)

Billy: Prim, I can't sleep. I was thinking that...... what...What would happen if I met a girl? The same age as me? What to do?

Prim: ...(What are you feeling right now?)

Billy: I don't know... Am I in love or what?

Prim:... (Maybe you're just tired) replied

Billy: You're right... it must be stress. I should go to sleep. Good Prim

Billy went to his secret room. What he didn't know was that fate/God/the wave of existence had something for him.

The next morning, Billy returned to the headquarters of 'Ethos' and approached Bishop Paul

Paul: How are you feeling, son?

Billy: A little tired, Bishop. And also. I feel very strange. I think I'm in love, Bishop Paul.

Bishop Paul almost jumped on the roof when he heard Billy's answer.

Paul: In love? !! Billy, are you okay, son? I think you need to take the rest of the day off. Go home and rest. You need it.

Billy: Thank you Bishop Paul

Billy left, while Bishop Paul was smiling

Paul: It's a phase... Billy was growing up to become a man, no longer a boy or a young man but a man.

After Billy got out, he decided to go to Bledavik. He needed new ammunition for his gun. He prepared his gear named Renmazuo, and went to the capital of Aveh.

Meanwhile

A girl about Billy's age with blue hair and her eyes closed was running through the busy streets of Bledavik. She has been running for 5 days in a row and hasn't eaten in that time. She escaped from Solaris because she would be the test subject of the new drug 'Drive'. She kept bumping into people and she mutters "I'm sorry." And "Excuse me." Some thugs were chasing her and received orders from the commander of Geburah to bring her back to Solaris and not harm her. The commander had said something about "she had potential"

Blue-haired girl: I'm so tired. I'm hungry too... But I won't give up... If I surrender, I will be a prisoner there forever...

She kept running. Suddenly she stumbled and the thugs came up to her.

Blue-haired girl: Someone help me please!'

Billy had just finished shopping for his things in the city when suddenly he heard a loud scream. He ran towards the alley and saw the unconscious blue-haired girl, surrounded by 5 men. Billy reloaded his gun in silence and then said

Billy, five thugs against an innocent girl?! I think you guys need to learn some manners!

After 10 minutes, Billy defeated the 5 bullies and approached the girl. His clothes were torn and covered with dirt.

His face was pale and his lips were flesh-colored. Billy checked her pulse and was relieved that she was still alive. He picked her up and carried her towards Renmazuo. Billy rode his gear, praying that she would still be alive. He finally arrived at the orphanage. Before entering, many of the children there watched him curiously. As he entered, Primera greeted him.

Prim:... (Who is she brother?)

Billy: I don't know her. She was attacked by thugs and I helped her. Besides that she shows signs of being tired and not having eaten for days. I am an 'Etone'. I help people in need. Prim, can you prepare a container full of water? I need it to clean his wounds. And some of my old clothes too. Thank you.

Billy said happily and took her to his bed.

Billy: His injuries are serious. Maybe it was that they undressed her using a knife but she struggled and did she cut herself? What a brave woman, and cute

Prim she came into her room with a bucket full of water and some of Billy's old clothes.

Billy: Thank you Prim

The first one left the room. Billy grabbed an Omegasol and bowed his head to the girl so she could drink it. He massaged her neck so that the liquid would flow down her throat. He gently put her on the bed and began to clean her wounds. When he got close to her breasts, Billy saw that there were wounds there, apart from that he kept looking at her there and started blushing

Billy: (Her breasts are small. But they are cute) (Wait!) (Don't keep looking at him there!) (It's wrong!)

Billy came out of his "not so holy" thoughts and put a towel on top of his chest and started cleaning it. After a while, he finished and dressed her in his oversized black T-shirt that was above her knees. She decided not to let her wear her clothes because they were dusty and too small for her. Almost at dinner time, she woke up and Billy came to her. The girl was trembling with fear

Blue-haired girl: Who are you? !!

Billy: I'm Billy Lee Black, you can call me Billy. What's your name?

Kelvena: My... my name is Kelvena.

Billy: Nice to meet you Kelvena

Kelvena: What... What is it that you want?

Billy: Listen. Me...

Kelvena saw a gun on the table and grabbed it to point it at Billy. Although Billy was surprised that she grabbed him with her eyes closed

Kelvena: Please!... Get away from me!

Billy: Wait... I don't have any...

Kelvena: I know well what you want. Take me back to that place and lock me up there

Billy: Listen. That gun is not loaded. And listen, i no want hurt you

Kelvena: (I have no other choice... i have to open my eyes)

When Kelvena started to take off her headband, someone entered the room. It was Prim who looked a little scared at the scene

Billy: Prim!

Prim:... (¡¿Brother?)

Kelvena: Who... Who is she?

Billy: She's my younger sister. Primera

Prim approached her brother to defend him. That's when Kelvena started to lower the gun to put it on the table, and tears started coming out of her closed eyes

Kelvena: I... me... I'm sorry! I didn't want to... I thought that... I'm really sorry!

Billy walked up to the girl, and grabbed her hands

Billy: Don't worry, I understand you're scared. I saw that those bullies were harassing you, so I decided to intervene. You were unconscious too, so I brought you here. We're going to eat anyway. If you want, you can join the dinner

Kelvena didn't know how to react until she heard her stomach growl, a reminder that she went 5 days without eating. So he accepted the invitation. The three of them sat down at the table. Billy prayed thanking for the food and then they started. Although she was too hungry, Kelvena ate slowly

Kelvena: I'm really grateful. Although there are no words to express it

Billy: Relax, no problem. In addition, it is also part of my job as an Etone to help others... Okay. Being Etone or not, I would have helped you

Kelvena: I see that there are a lot of children here

Billy: Yes, they live in this orphanage

Kelvena: It's very sad, they should be happy with their families

Billy: I know. I decided to open it some time after our mother died

Kelvena: I... i'm sorry about that

Billy: Take it easy

Kelvena watched Prim and held out her hand to him

Kelvena: Nice to meet you, Prim. I'm sorry I threatened your brother

Prim:... (No problem. I know you were scared)

Kelvena: Is something wrong?

Billy: After our mom died. Prim has not spoken again

Kelvena: That's sad. But I'm sure she'll talk again one day

Billy: That's what I wish. Only God knows

Kelvena: You mentioned that you work as an Etone. What is that?

Billy: They are special priests who work at Ethos Church. Apart from helping others, they are in charge of eliminating monsters called Wels that plague the entire Aquvy region

Kelvena: It sounds pretty brave

Billy: Thank you. Let's just go to sleep. You must be tired. I'll guide you to my room. I'll sleep on the couch. Tomorrow we will go to the Ethos Church Headquarters to see if they can help you

Kelvena: Wait! !!! You don't have to do it! You sleep in your bed!

Billy: No. You are a guest

After accompanying Prim to her room, Billy took Kelvena to his. The blue-haired girl lay down on the young priest's bed. And Billy lay down on the sofa. They both had thoughts about the other

Kelvena: (I'm speechless. I escaped from Solaris first, only to end up being saved by someone my age. Should I let my guard down? I don't know him. But Billy seems to be a nice guy, plus he runs an orphanage to help the kids. I'm going to trust him)

Billy: (Wow, Kelvena turned out to be someone nice. He really looks like someone who went through something difficult. I'll help her... apart from that... she looks very beautiful)

They would both sleep with flushed faces at the thought of each other

Notes:

Ok, Billy is my favorite Xenogears character, and Kelvena (or Cherubina) is my favorite Element. Then I realized that I could make good chemistry between the two. And after reading a fic where the same situation of Billy saving Kelvena happens (which only has one chapter) I thought I'd make one. The first three chapters would be Kelvena's new life, and chapter 4 or 5, would begin the events of Billy's character arc in Xenogears
