Journey Through The Abyss
A.N. Here you are...I just hope someone likes it...
Of course I don't own any of the characters...
She was his first love. The one that little boys would fight to the death for, if only they would receive a smile from their eight-year-old goddesses. You know the kind. He supposed he had never really gotten over her, in all the years he had slaved away to prove himself. To Sephiroth, to Zack, to the president, to…Tifa.
But no matter how much the child within him pleaded, he could not hold onto his love for Tifa, when he met…her.
Always when he thinks of her, he thinks of flowers, and pink dresses, churches and strikingly green eyes lowered faithfully in prayer. If the other woman was a symbol of what all boys at the awkward age of puberty ached for, then Aerith was a symbol of what the man inside-the man who wanted desperately to be good and feel wanted-yearned for. To hold. To protect. To love.
Of course, if he thought his last relationship if you could call it that ended fast, he had no preparation for the demise of his newest one. She was gone in a flash of white, silver, and green; always green.
And he was alone again. Alone, to bear the sorrow that he felt, and not even the former love, the one who was more than willing-now-to become his love, could take that hurt away. So he did the only thing he could think of in a state like that.
He rode. Just got on his motorcycle and rode, farther and farther, until he could ride no longer. And as he was about to give up on getting away from the pain, just as he was about to sink into depression and join Vincent in his dark, secluded home…
He saw a weird, black, oddly sad-looking creature. And the last thing he remembered was grabbing for his sword.
If, perhaps he could look into the future, and see his hands clasping small, familiar, alive hands…If he could see green eyes smiling at him like they had so many years ago…maybe he would have fought the upcoming battles with more vigor.
But, alas, he had no power of with which to look into the future.
And he fell.
