Impossible

A Oneshot

Her fingers encased the trigger of the firearm, unsettled nerves bursting into the air with every squeeze and bullet that escaped from the gun and her hand—target practice. The drawl of everyone else's voices faded into the background, incoherent to her hassled brain. As if in some sort of film, fleeting images crossed her minds eye: of perfectly tamed blonde hair, piercing eyes, and that immaculate white coat….

Another sigh, another bullet.

Every glimpse of his flawless features and it's as if any man she's ever loved before has been presented to the backburner—they could never compete with such perfection. Yet that's her only blockade—that and he's Rufus Shinra.

She imagines herself as the impoverished, childish girl pressing her face against the thick glass of the toy store, admiring what she could never have of the expensive contents inside.

He's the stars and she's the fool in the skyscraper, reaching out for what she already knows will never be captured.

He's President of ShinRa Electric Company and she's a mere Turk, her only duty to protect him, not to love him.

One last sigh, one last bullet.

He'll pass her, her heart skips a beat, but Elena knows, no matter how far she outstretches her arms, Rufus Shinra will never be attainable.

Hope you enjoyed! Yeah, I actually love this pairing, but I didn't want to write an epic fic about it, so I wrote this. Plus I wanted to try out my use of comparisons... BADLUCKbram (check out her fics!) knows how that turned out... Anyways, please drop a review and tell me what you think, or at the least use some form of communication to tell me that you liked it or disliked it, whichever.

Thanks for reading!
