Why?
Why did we have to die?
I mean…We weren't the best people but…But all we wanted…Was someone to play with us-Someone to stay with us-Someone to pay attention to us.
Kadaj…He said this was the best way. He said that if we did this, you would like us. He said you wouldn't leave us again…
But…But I was wrong, wasn't I? You only ever paid attention to Sephiroth. He was your favorite, wasn't he? You liked him best. You played with him. You always went looking for him. You paid attention to him. Why was he your favorite?
Maybe…Maybe you didn't like us…But then…Why do you like them? We can see you, you know.
You play with them. With the furry red one and the little kitty-king and the kids and the tiny ninja girl. You play with them, so why didn't you play with me?
You stay with them…With the children and the long-haired girl. With the blonde man who smells like smoke and the black-haired man who is bathed in red, and the crude man with brown skin and a metal arm. You stay with them…Why didn't you stay with me?
You pay attention to them… You can't take your eyes off of that girl, the one with the soft eyes and hard fists. You smile at her, and at the others… When the cloaked one talks, you listen. When the small one jokes, you laugh with her. Even the little children earn your attention…So why didn't you ever pay attention to me?
All we ever wanted…Was you. So why? Why do you like them and not us?
Why Cloud?
Why didn't you play with me, Big Brother?
Why didn't you stay with me, Big Brother?
Why didn't you love me, Big Brother?
AN/ Yeah…I don't know exactly where this came from, only that it is the result of about four hours of sleep, two hours of drill practice after two midterms, a full pot of coffee, and a rewatching of Advent Children for about the twentieth time. Yay for drabbles!
Oh, normal is Loz, italics is Yazoo, and bold is Kadaj.
