Breathless

Disclaimer: Its funny how annoying this one little paragraph gets.
And how blanked I am for a funny idea for a disclaimer right now.
I guess I wanted to prove I can do more than FF8. (Even though I
used to write some X-men and Sailor Moon and I have Star Ocean and
Original fics at Fanfic.net.) Oh well, variety is the spice of life
they say...

Mary trailed behind Rutee. "Come on. Stahn wanted a day off Rutee.
Don't spy on him, K?" The three were resting in Harmantz before
heading off to their next mission, to go teach a kid to fight. Of
course Rutee had planned everything, like she always did.
"I'm not gonna follow him! If you don't wanna go out, then just stay
here!" Rutee stormed out of the house leaving her friend behind.
"That wasn't nice Rutee." Atwight said as Rutee carried her out and
they trailed Stahn as he headed for a park.
"So? I just want to go for a walk, okay?" Rutee walked faster behind
him, then when she saw he had stopped, she sat down and watched him.
~I've never seen anyone fight better than Mary and me before. Even
when he just sits or talks to us, everything about him leaves me
breathless. How he listens, and cares. He helped me even though he
didn't know me. And he's sincere too. Sometimes he seems a little
to naive for his own good, but since he has me, he doesn't have to
worry about that. I wish, I wish that things could stay like this
forever. But he wants fame, and fortune, and he just seems like the
type of guy who always ends up as the hero. As someone's knight in
shining armor. He'll never be my knight though. Not because I don't
want a knight, but because he, and everyone else, sees me as this
strong individual who doesn't need protecting, or help. And me? I'm
basically a frawd. Trying to be strong, with dreams of just getting
fame and becoming a lens hunter. Lens hunters. One of the least
respect positions. Sure they are respected for killing monsters,
but they're thought of as thieves. Maybe thats what I want. I want the
appearance of being a thief, a thug. That way I can be tougher than
I am.~ Stahn moved to watch some children play. Rutee moved, and hid
in a spot closer to him.
~What if he did love me? I think thats what I want. But what would I
do then? Would I join in his dream? Would I come along and hang on
his coat tails, gaining a little fame of my own, as we went off to
do what heroes do, saving the world? Or would he... would he care
enough to abandon his dreams and destiny of greatness for my feeble,
small, and unimportant destiny to one day run a nursery with the money
I get from Lens Hunting... I don't want that for him.~ Rutee saw
Stahn hand one of the children their stray ball, and ducked when he
looked back in her direction.
~And yet I've convinced him to join us. Cut him off and led him
around. I convinced him to come here. I don't want to drag him into my
fate, but somehow, without trying or thinking, I am.~ Stahn spotted
her anyway and called out to her.
"Hey Rutee, I didn't know you were coming out too. Want to walk around
together?"
"Sure Stahn." Rutee got up and walked to him. ~Who knows, maybe instead
of leading him astray, I'm leading him to what lies ahead of him.
That's what I'd like to hope at least...~

[the end]
I know its short, but I've only gotten past to the point where Baptista
dies so... I can't write much. Still, please R&R and be kind o^-^o lol.
