AN: I left the pairing in this intentionally ambigious as not to alienate the many fans of various Cloud pairings. Also, I couldn't make up my mind of who I wanted him to love. Please read and review so I'll know what to improve. Thanks. :D

My heart beats for you.

My heart beats only for you.

Every waking moment, every conscious thought, every cell in my body, mako-infused or not, is for you. Ever since I took my first breath, I lived for you. You were always locked in my mind, my heart, my soul, even before I knew it. When I first saw you, it was like all the pieces had fit into place. I had found my one, my only. You were my first love, my true love, my only love. If you had asked it, I would have gladly spend another five years being experimented on in Nibelhiem. I would have thrown myself into the Lifestream. I would have spent my entire life with Geostigma, if only for you.

My greatest sin was letting you go.

I spent so many years looking for my light, only to find I allowed it to be extinguished so long ago. It was then I realized that with you gone, my life was gone. There was no reason for me to remain here any more. It was time to reunite with you. It was time to go.

I left Fenrir behind. I left everything behind, except for myself, the clothes on my back, and my sword. The days and nights blurred together as I walked there, the place where you died. It was only fitting that I'd shed my life and join you where I ultimately failed.

There was no hesitation, no goodbye for what I would miss out on, no tears. I fell where you fell, a blade in my heart, you in my mind. It didn't hurt as much as I thought, but then again the pain of your loss overtook anything I felt since then. I was just cold, and alone, a physical representation of my mental state all these years. Then, things began to change.

Then, my heart beat again.

Then, I saw you.
