Chapter 1/3.
This is my first fanfic so please don't flame too much.
After we killed Orphan, escaped from Cocoon as it crash-landed on Gran Pulse and Fang and Vanille sacrificed themselves to save us all, I finally realized what had made me so miserable. That I wouldn't see them again for... Well, who knows when we will rise from crystal stasis?
I guess this is my last chance to say what I want to say. No more hesitation. No more sadness. I have to get it over and done with. I've broken, and maybe this will help me finally come to terms with everything that we've done. Well, Vanille, thanks for giving me the help I needed to do this. I'll miss you all...
Calming my nerves and fear, I walked behind her and tapped on her shoulder to get her attention. "Hope?" she asked me, without turning to face me. "Turn around." I told her, in the tone she normally used. When she had, I started speaking again. "Well, Light, this isn't easy for me to tell you, but I... I think I know why I've been so miserable for all this time. I realized who was making me feel like this." "Who was it, then?" Light asked me. All I needed was one word, "You." then I wrapped my arms around her neck and kissed her. Her lips were soft, almost like silk. At that moment we started turning to crystal but I didn't let go. I could happily spend eternity like this. She kissed me back which made me thank the Maker that I had met Light.
I had found peace.
