Sephiroth gazed at Cloud, wondering what he would think. What he would do in this situation. Part of Sephiroth wanted to scream, wanted to destroy everything in the world. That part of him not yet touched by insanity cringed away from Cloud's face as it slowly gave up its fight to survive.
Another part of him wanted to keep Cloud, just like this. Sephiroth had never had such acceptance until he had met Cloud. And would never have it again.
His hair, his eyes…everything about Cloud was beautiful to Sephiroth. He hoped that his actions didn't destroy whatever they had between them.
"Cloud…" Murmured Sephiroth, bending over to whisper in his ear, "...I'm sorry…"
He lifted Cloud's body part way off the bed and slipped into the sheets next to him, knowing that he would never again see the love in his eyes when he looked at Sephiroth. But this was the only way it could be. Cloud could not hate him for what he was going to do.
Cloud would be with him forever, as it always should have been. Even though he wouldn't be there to see it…Wouldn't be able to share part of his life with him.
He kissed Cloud's blue tinted lips lightly, and raised the dagger to his chest.
They would be together, always.
The End.
