This is my very first fan fiction and I'm not about to ask for anyone to go easy on me because any self respecting writer should know that criticism is a good thing… off of that tangent…
First and foremost this is a Selphie-Seifer fic (because honest to God I hate it when people don't post it right from the get go!). This is one of my favorite pairings but much to my dismay it is rarely written about. Day and in day out I hope to find a new Selpher fic floating around here but I hardly ever come across one and when I do its rather disappointing.
After much thought I finally decided to write one because I got really sick and tired of waiting around for someone to write a Selpher fiction actually worth reading (I have found a few good ones… but ONLY a few).
Of course, credit is where credit is due, I'd like to thank Square Soft (Square Enix these days) and all those who contributed to making Final Fantasy VIII. The characters and ideas are their creation and not mine.
Finally, on with the story, read, enjoy (hopefully), and feel free to provide helpful criticism whenever you feel it necessary.
November Rain
Prologue
The wet sand scraped the cobblestone as he slowly drug his feet. He wasn't really walking, just tiredly letting his feet catch him before he fell with each and every step. The cold began to creep up around him and bite at any flesh left vulnerable to the bitter wind. Where as most would hug themselves in attempts to retain heat, this man did not, he just left his arms dangling lifelessly at his sides. The chill was sneaking through any crevice it could find, which on the tattered rags the man wore, they weren't all that hard to unearth.
The man seemed to notice none of this as his gaze remained forward while he slowly continued walking. Not a sound in the sleepy streets except for the wet sand beneath his feet, when the man halted and turned his attention to a small puddle. His eyes seemed mesmerized as he stared at the puddle, as if he was waiting for something to happen and then came the ripple. He released a low and heavy sigh and closed his eyes as icy droplets made themselves apparent on his skin. "I hate the rain…"
