Everlasting Release
I remember her walking along, not a care in the world. That lovely hair of hers up in its usual twist, bouncing along, as happy as her soul was.
She was a vestal virgin, untouched by the world.... Pure.
Cloud, you fool...She loved you with all of her heart. And you took it for granted, to be with that tramp who isn't 1/10's the woman she was...
She's lucky that I saved her. She would just have been hurt by your callous rejection.
You admired me so much, Cloud. So why is it that you got the one thing I wanted, and you tossed it aside like a piece of trash? She deserved better.
Did you hear me, Cloud? She deserved better.
You killed her long before I did...with your cold apathy and endless devotion to that bar hussy. You led her on, took advantage of her pure selfless soul.
And the pain I dealt her was much less than she would have received from you. Only the pain I gave her was physical, not emotional. I tried to make it quick...
Why did I kill her? Because no one in this world deserves her.
She's too pure to stay here and be soiled more than she already is by this cruel world.
She was a precious jewel, dropped from Heaven and onto the landscape of Hell.
And I returned her to the Heaven to which she belonged.
I didn't deserve her, and neither did anyone in existence.
She was too divine, too holy to be tainted with the lusty desires of mortal men. I love her, but my love would have destroyed her. It was better this way.
I did not murder her. I merely gave the angel her wings.
Author's Note: What, you thought I can only write Gundam Wing romance? Hehehe. Technically, this isn't romance... but, whatever. I'm a huge Sephiroth/Aerith fan...and this fic practically wrote itself. I know that it doesn't really make sense, but Sephiroth wasn't exactly the most mentally stable guy...I think that it makes sense in a twisted, psychotic way. Or at least I hope it does. ^_^ This won't be the last Sephiroth/Aerith fanfiction you'll see from me, either. Please r/r, but be nice... I don't take criticism well!
