FFVII and all associate characters (C) SquareEnix
Fare thee well love, fare thee well love,
Far away, you must go
Take your heart love, take your heart love
Will we never meet again no more
Cloud ducked his head against the bitter wind as he dismounted the gold, rucksack firmly strapped just above the buster sword. He should have come sooner. Putting it off certainly hadn't made it hurt any less.
Far across love, far across love
O'er the mountains and country wide
Take my heart love, take my heart love
No one knows the tears I've cried
The cold wind drifted past the cliff in a mournful song, as if it, too was paying homage to the dead. It whipped his hair around, the sharp strands biting and stinging skin that was already raw. Not even mako could protect him from this winter. Thirty years, and all the Planet had done was die. Each year was colder than the last, and the scientists declared that it wouldn't get better anytime soon. Not that it mattered.
So I'll drink today love
I'll sing to you love
In pauper's glory, my time I'll bide
No home or ties love, a restless rover
If I can't have you by my side
He caressed the small green globe in his hand, feeling it warm even through his gloves. A prolonged spell would hurt; ripping from his MP stores to continuously feed the Fire2 that wasn't designed for was he would use it.
Decisively, he snapped the ball into his mistile and flung his arm out for the spell. A stream of golden fire lashed out, heating the large sword until it glowed and he didn't have to hold the spell to feel the heat. He collapsed to his knees with a gasp, sweat trickling down his face and gelling in the subzero temperatures. Resolutely, he pushed himself back to his feet and pulled his left glove off, and undoing the latch from the materia's slot.
Oh, come back love, oh come back love
The sun and moon refuse to shine
Since I've gone love, gone away love
This lonely girl has had no peace of mind
With a practiced surety, he slipped the warm orb into the slots on the great buster tenderly, ignoring the sever third degree burns on his palm and fingertips. The mako would heal it all. It was slightly dangerous, but doable. And he wanted it done. It was only right.
So I'll drink today love
I'll sing to you love
In pauper's glory, my time I'll bide
No home or ties love, a restless rover
If I can't have you by my side
Removing the pack, he carefully extracted the glass container that Reeve had constructed for him, and the delicate beauty it protected inside. In a short while, the ground had thawed enough that he was able to dig in the soft mud with his hands. It took a little time, but he managed to create a deep enough hole to plant the small, delicate flower he had rescued from Aeries church before the snow had really set in. It really did look perfect, bathed in the ever-glowing light of the Fire materia.
Fare thee well love, fare thee well love
Far away, you must go
Take my heart love, take your heart love
Cloud lay down, head next to the small puddle of melted water and his best friend's keepsake. Gently, reverently, he pulled out a thin chain from his heavy cloak. With a deep sense of longing, he gazed at the pair of objects dangling from gold.
We will never meet again no more
He kept gazing even as his eyes closed. Those two objects he would never let go of, not for anything. Even in death, no one could take them from him.
We will never meet again no more
The bitter wind whistled among the cliffs, singing out a despairing dirge for the last swordsman, clutching the rings he had once shared with his love.
.

We will never meet… again no more?
that IS the sixty-four thousand dollar question isn't it? but i'm a hopless romantic, so of course.
up to you to decide if I killed off our favorite blond swordsman.
