Author Note: Hey guys. This is my second Sephiroth/Zack fic. This one came to me when I was looking up L and Light pictures from Death Note. On it, Light was kiss L and it said I can taste my own death in your kiss, and this was born.

Kiss of Death
Every time I kiss you Seph, it's like I taste my own death. It's like your lips are a poison that is slowly eating away at me. But, no matter what I do, no matter how much this poison of yours eats away at me, I can't help but enjoy your sinful kisses.
They set me on fire, and make my blood boil. It's like I die when I'm not with you, near you, and when I'm with you... I feel alive, whole and wanted. But... when we join in an intimate dance and kiss...I can taste it. I can taste the coldness, I can taste the death.
I don't know why I fell this way or even taste it. But with each step we take towards Niblehime, it gets stronger. The coldness of you lips and touch, the way you go all stiff when I touch you, the way you are distancing yourself... I still might be alive, but it's as if I'm already dead without you.
I can feel my heart breaking in the reactor as Genesis tells you what Hojo did to you. I want to reach out and hold you and call Genesis a liar, tell him your not a monster, that Hojo is... but I couldn't. The words were stuck and no matter how hard I try, I can't force them out. That night as you hold me close and kiss me, the taste of death is so much stronger I want to chock, but I don't, I let you full me with more of that poison I love to hate. I let you hold me as if I was the only thing keeping you sane and I think I am.
Sometime that night after I fell asleep in your warm yet cold arms, you left. I didn't find you until late the next day. I found you Seph, in the ShinRa mansion's basement going through Hojo's files. You start telling me about Jenvoa, your mother, and how Hojo put her cells in you while still in the womb. I'm so lost that for once, I do what you tell me and leave you alone.
The next time I wake, I smell fire. The whole village of Niblehime is on fire and you're the one who did it. I call out to you... but your eyes... they...they scared me. For the first time in my life I'm afraid, not of you, no I could never fear you I love you to much for that, it was for you. You had so much hate in those pretty green eyes I wanted to cry.
I followed you to the reactor and you hurt her. You hurt Tifa. I don't know why you did it, but you did. With the village on fire, people screaming and dying, and poor Cloud and Tifa, who you hurt, I still couldn't bring myself to hurt you. I did what I always do and I kissed you.
This time, the taste of death was accompanied by the warmth of metallic copper, blood Seph, my blood and I... I was bleeding because of you. Even as I flew down the stairs of the reactor, my blood following like a crimson cape after me, I...I still love you. Even as the dark takes over me, I still feel your kiss, and I think it's ironic how we meet with a kiss, and we... we end with a kiss, a kiss of death.
