This was written while I was playing Final Fantasy VI to GBA.

A little pairing that crossed my mind.

Leo watched the imperal with sad eyes.

Kefka was mad, mentally ill. He hadn't always been like this.

He hadn't always had that mad laughter, he hand't always been the kind of man that could poison a whole kingdom without second thought.

It wasn't the Kefka the imperal general used to know, that would crack jokes with him until they were lying on the floor, laughing their asses off.

It wasn't the Kefka that cared for those around him, that had taken care of Leo when he'd been ill.

The magitek experimets had taken its toll on his mind, that was fragile from the very beginning.

It hurt Leo, to see his dear friend like this.

Kefka laughed, and Leo's hand tightened around the sword.

"Kefka, I can't let this go on anymore."

They fought. Leo didn't want to hurt him, he knew that a little bit of the old Kefka had to be in there somewhere.

So all he could do was to dodge.

Soon enough, Leo came up close, and he took the chance to grab the imperal by the collar. His mind was completely blank as he pressed his lips hard against the other's impossibly red ones.

"You know, I used to love you."

Kefka just stared, Leo looked back.

Suddenly, he was gone, and the imperal general was holding nothing but thin air.

When he appeared again, Leo knew there wasn't anything left of the man he fell in love with.

He let himself get pushed to the ground, he let the knife wound him.

"Die, die, DIE!"

Despite the words, despite the laughter, the survivors would tell others about the look on Kefka's face.

The look that only could be described as sorrow.
