He always smiled to everyone – a bright uncaring smile, lighting up even the darkest corners of ones life. He would stop in the halls chatting away and bouncing on his heels. Grins, affectionate touches, small good natured pranks – he was the friend everyone wanted, needed. Zackary Fair was the bright sunshine under the artificial lights of Shinra.
He wasn't fake, didn't hide a dagger behind his back, wasn't scheming, cruel… No, he was above all of that. He was a gentle man, despite the fact that he could probably kill someone without trying really hard. He was childish and happy – oh so happy. All unicorns and butterflies really.
He was always there when you needed him, hell he was there even you didn't need him 'Just to make sure, you're all right spiky'. His hugs always were warm, always protective. They infected people with the same enthusiasm that Zack possessed. Even Sephiroth wasn't immune to the puppy's charm.
He was everywhere all the time – saving a damsel in distress one second, flirting with the secretary the other, wrecking havoc in the Turks' break-room the third. People loved him for that. Sure, it did get tiresome from time to time, but then he would grin and all was well again.
He was gentle too, but I think I already said that many a time. Look at me repeating myself all over. However, that was what stood out about him the most. He was tall and large (compared to me at least) – he did fight with a giant sword after all – but never did he fail to control his strength, never his touches crossed the line of butterfly soft: even his glomps were controlled. Yes, they were sudden and embarrassing, but always so soft, so loving.
And then the doors closed.
He would switch - a complete 180 degrees turn around. He was still gentle and loving… So painfully loving in his own cruelty.
His caresses would be soft, loving. His hands would ran on my skin barely touching as if being near something fragile, something that needed to be cherished. Light nips would mix into the soft touching. Then all of sudden his teeth would sink deeper, ripping at skin, drawing blood. Like a vampire he would suck it, smudge it all over the area before biting again. His hands would turn rougher, his motions more violent. It always hurt so much. Every time I cried, but he would just whisper to me softly, apologize and continue. It hurt so much but in the end he always made it feel better, made me feel complete and warm – why did have to be caring when he was this cruel?
Still, no matter how it hurt, no matter how many times I would have to experience this, it was all right. His other lovers - one time trysts or just simple flings – even his girlfriend – professed how gentle he was, how loving always taking care of their needs first before his own - a true gentleman inside an out. They'll never know just how vicious Zack could be. It doesn't matter. I will be fine. I don't mind suffering like this, because this side, this animalistic side of him… I am the only one who ever saw it. The cruel side of him is the only thing that is mine and mine alone. He can smile to everyone as much as he wants, but I alone will see this rare streak of possessive cruelty. I'll never let go of it no matter what, because it is the only thing of him that is completely mine.
A/N: I do believe there is a manga out there which has a similar idea/plot line. I can't remember who written/drawn it or what's the title. So I apologize for any plagiarisms – it is not intentional. And another thing I apologize for is my writing style – too rushed, to general, to much of bull-shitting around. I can't write anything detail to save my life *sigh*Thank you for reading though
