Fanfic Title: Ambivalence

Game: Final Fantasy IV

Pairings: Edge x Edward, Kain x Cecil

And the people who have me on alert for KxC probably looked at this and went, "OMG another KainxCecil—wait, what?" I know. But give it a go, yeah? I've already fallen in love with this pairing. Also, this was originally going to be just a long one-shot, but I got all inspired (because of Ally; she knows what she did) and also didn't want to spend too much time working on it because I was so inspired and wanted to get something out like today. So you get chapters instead. Huzzah. Please enjoy.

Summary: Changes that affect life come in the days after Cecil's crowning ceremony. AR. EdgexEdward. KainxCecil.

Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Final Fantasy IV and I make no money from writing this.

Warnings/Notes: boy-boy romance, FFIV AR, fluff, possible OOC, snippets of one-sided EdgexRydia and EdwardxAnna. Setting—shortly after FFIV's ending. Just without the wedding and Kain leaving. Yep. As if I haven't spun that one before.


~**Prologue**~


She was gone. It was a pretty difficult thought to wrap his mind around. Without her here, this celebration was slightly less entertaining than it should have been. Though, when looking back at some of the parties in Eblan, this was fairly tame in comparison.

Still, without her here, this room lacked the pretty face he really wanted to see.

He'd had the pleasure of her company for only a few minutes after the crowning ceremony was over. He talked to her during that time, which he would admit was more like outright flirting on his end than actual conversation. But then she left, back to the Feymarch most likely.

She could have stayed if she wanted to. Everyone who didn't live within Baron's walls and had come for the ceremony was allowed to stay as guests for the next few days before making their respective trips back home. Cecil was generous enough for that much at least. Instead, she chose to return to the underworld, as if she couldn't stay away from it for too long. The whole thing was extremely disappointing.

Sighing to himself and playing with the rim of his glass, Edge found himself going down the same line of thought he usually went to whenever she deflected his advances.

She was just playing hard to get. She would come around eventually.

Rydia would come back and he would get another chance.


Author's Notes: You know, before now there was absolutely nothing filtered under Edge and Edward. Nothing at all. Yep. keadeblue264: Forever breaking new ground. Or just doing weird things. I'm more willing to go with the latter. Please Review.
