Disclaimer: I do not own the song or the characters it is being used with.
Alright, this is my first songfic, and I really hope you like it. Please don't be too harsh since it is my first. No flames please. They are pointless. But if you like it, please review and tell me!!
Song: My Immortal, by Evanescence (if you haven't heard the song you really should. It's one of the saddest and most beautiful I have ever heard.)
Cid and Vincent from Final Fantasy 7. (don't like them together, don't read this, you HAVE been warned) This takes place two years after Sephiroth and Meteor have been destroyed. It's also a few months before Cid ends up in Traverse Town to all you readers who are familiar with my other fic. ^_^ Please enjoy.
Evanescence: My Immortal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vincent stands in the basement of Shinra Mansion, looking at his coffin with Cid standing next to him.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
He pictures the day he was locked in the coffin, and waking to find he was utterly alone.
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
He starts walking back to the coffin, but Cid grabs his arm.
These wounds won't seem to heal
He holds out his golden arm, and Cid takes it, shaking his head.
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
He sees Hojo leaning over him, laughing, before the lights dim around him.
Cid pulls Vincent close to him, looking into his eyes.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
He reaches up and gently brushes away the tears spilling from Vincent's crimson eyes.
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
They are alone in Cid's room, Vincent tossing in his sleep, waking to scream. Cid grabs his shoulders and holds him, comforting him.
And I've held you hand through all of these years
Their memories flash back to two years before when they were still battling Sephiroth and Meteor.
But you still have all of me
Cid pulls Vincent into a warm embrace, kissing his eyes gently.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Vincent pictures the first time he saw Cid in Rocket Town, smoking a cigarette and leaning over a broken airship.
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
Vincent moves towards the coffin again, but Cid holds him tighter, burying his head in Vincent's chest.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Vincent winces and falls to his knees as he once again sees the horror that he has become in a mirror on the wall. Cid falls with him, still holding him.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
Cid kisses the fresh tears away.
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
Vincent struggles to get away but gives in and collapses into Cid's arms.
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
Cid begins rocking Vincent slowly, tears flowing from his blue eyes, Vincent sobbing, his arms wrapped around the other man's chest.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
Vincent murmurs to Cid through his tears. "I've been alone all along." Cid shakes his head, answering. "You're never alone."
When you cried I'd wiped away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
Cid stands, pulling Vincent with him. "Let's go home." He says gently, wrapping his arms around the taller mans waist, and pulling him out the door with him.

I really hope you liked it. I don't know if one was done like this before with this song, I checked but I didn't see any. Anyway, I got the idea when listening to my Evanescence CD, (which rocks!!) and cried while I wrote this. Hope you like it. ^_~
