What About Me

Sighing, I brush back my blonde hair and run my hand through the spikes. My clear blue eyes scan the little corner store. I stop in here everyday after work, mostly so I can see him, the one that appears invisible to everyone but me. His long platinum hair falls to his waist, thin and perfect. Everyday, it's identical attire of jeans and a t-shirt, today it's black. He gets the items he wishes to purchase and goes to stand in line, just like every other day. Most days, he'll be cut in front of, ignored, and if things go too far, he's talked down to. I don't watch him to pity him or to feel better about my own shitty life and boy is my life a pile of crap, I watch him out of a longing to comfort him. To give both him and I the thing we want, to not feel cold and alone anymore.

I don't need to work, but I do because of my pride. I'm set for the rest of my life, thanks to my wealthy, dead parents. All these unhappy people I see...make me feel bad about how easy I have it.

A cry sounds in my ears, followed by a flash of silver. The man standing above him turns back to the counter, paying for his goods and leaving without another thought on the matter. I step away from the shelves and kneel down beside the man. I leave the things he's grabbed in the store, on the floor and help him up. Ignoring the looks from the various people still in the store, I walk him out and to my car. Despite him being taller than me, I can tell he feels smaller than an ant. But without complaint or question, he climbs into my light blue car.

I drive us to the beach. From there, we exit and walk down to the shore. He stays close to me, never straying too far, and for some reason, it doesn't concern me in the least. The tall man continues walking until the water laps at his scoffed, ebony boots. Striding up behind him, he turns around instantly. Those eyes of his are so...unique. The light and dark greens swirling around his pupil seem to dance with his silent mood.

With the sun already set and the moon on its way up into the sky, spots of yellow decorate the ocean. Several fireflies drift in between us, lighting up the sharp angles of his face. Reaching behind my neck, I unclasp the chain. He automatically catches the jewel on the end in his hand, where I place the rest of the chain before hooking it around his neck.

"Thank you..."

"My name's Cloud."

"Sephiroth." he whispers.

Surprising enough, tears trickle down his cheeks, falling over his small smile. I reach up and brush them away with my thumb. "Why are you crying?"

"Because I've always wondered, 'What about me?' and here you are..."

Lifting my hand, I trail my fingers along the side of his face, my fingertips ghosting along his jawbone and down to his chin. "It'll be alright. I'll take all the love you can give and I'll give it right back to you." Arching up, I press my lips to his as he winds his arms around me.
