This is a completely random one-shot. I came up with this idea while taking a shower. Weird, I know right? Anyway hope you enjoy R&R!
"Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty until this night." Selphie Tilmitt read softly to herself, as she proceeded her elegant stroll, along the shores of Destiny Island. She was still wearing her school uniform, and her impractical hairstyle blew gently in the cool, evening breeze, as her eyes continued to scan the words on each page. The sun was a deep orange, preparing to set, while the sky was a beautiful collision of the colors pink, yellow, and purple.
Sighing, she read aloud, "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet." Closing the book, she pressed it against her heart, "How romantic."
"Romance?"
Turning around, Selphie's eyes caught sight of a serious looking man who wore a long, black robe. His hair was black and grey, and his eyes almost identical to gold. Over his right eye he sported an eye patch, and he had a large, jagged scar running across his left check.
"Who are you?" Selphie questioned quietly, as the man grew closer.
"Just a nobody. The name's Xigbar."
"Nobody?"
"Yeah. We're what remain of those who have lost their hearts to the darkness; those who have become heartless."
"Heartless?"
"You really don't know much do you, girl?"
"Hey, I know plenty! You're the one rambling about nonsense! And my name is Selphie, not girl!"
"Rambling? As if! I just wanted to ask you a question."
"What is it?" Selphie asked, quickly calming down.
"I want to know… what exactly love is."
"…"
Bewildered and confused, Selphie turned toward the man, who awaited her answer, "Well, love is a very hard thing to explain. I suppose it is an intense feeling of deep affection, but there is much more to it than that. Why do you ask?"
"You see, us nobodies don't have any hearts. That's why were known as heartless. It's kind of ironic how we still experience few emotions, although I've yet to experience love. You see, you are a somebody. Somebodies have hearts, and feel ever last emotion. We nobodies can never be somebodies, no matter how hard we try."
"So you've never loved anyone?" Selphie asked surprised.
"…"
"Come with me," Selphie said, as she motioned for him to follow her, "I have something I want to show you."
"This is known as the Paopu Fruit. Legend says if two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what." Selphie explained, as she handed Xigbar the Paopu Fruit in her hand.
He hesitantly took it, placing it in his robe, before slowly turning away.
"You're leaving?" Selphie asked shocked.
"Wouldn't you like to know," Xigbar laughed.
"Wait, Xigbar."
"What do you want?" He replied
"Will you remember me?"
"As if!" He scoffed, but stopped when he saw Selphie's saddened face, "As If… I could ever forget someone like you." And with that he was gone, leaving a smiling Selphie behind.
Did you like it? I think I liked how it turned out. Any other pairing? Let me know.
