Flowers…Yes…he was like a flower…
A great silver flower in bloom…
In Spring…he would be there…grand and beautiful…but then…Winter...he was gone… he withered away from my heart…from my life...
-----------------------------------------
"Sephiroth…I-I don't want you to go."
His green eyes looked into my own, paler green eyes, "Relm…"
I looked away. The Midgar slums surrounded me and I wished to look back into his eyes and be free of the pain around me, "SOLDIER is dangerous though, right?"
"Probably."
"Then, why?"
He sighed, "Before he left, Professor Gast suggested it to me…and I think it might be a good idea."
"Why?"
He stared at me. This time he looked away…as if even he didn't know, "Why do you care, Relm? What does it matter if one more man leaves these slums?"
I watched him stand there, his features showing courage, annoyance, and…something like…I dun't know…like he was troubled by something…
How could I tell him? How could I tell him how I'd admired him since he began living in the Sector 3 slums five years ago? How could I tell him of pain I'd felt inside when he would talk so often of joining SOLDIER? How the very mention of it made tears come into my eyes?
"I just…worry about you, Sephiroth."
He gave me an odd smile, "You worry a lot. I'll be fine. I'll…I'll send you a letter every month."
"Week."
"Two weeks."
"Fine." I said.
He looked at me with concern, "You okay?"
I smiled, "You know, you were my first and only friend here."
He placed his hand on my shoulder, "Like I said, you worry too much. It'll all be fine, so cheer up."
"You're not very good at consoling, you know." I chuckled as I began to cry.
He sighed again and ran hand through his hair. My reluctance to let him go seemed to bother him…So that's what was troubling him…I couldn't stand to see him that way.
Me? I didn't matter. I knew that. But he…he was strong, powerful…he deserved more than these slums…more than me…He deserved freedom.
I stared at the stone road beneath me, "Go."
Sephiroth looked at me in shock, "W-What?"
"Go. Join SOLDIER. See if I care. Maybe we were better off without you."
"Relm..?"
I shoved him back, "Just get the hell out!"
He looked at me, then at the plate above us, "You should see the sky sometime instead of wasting your life in the slums. Follow my example and leave this all behind. Find a place more suited for a gentle person like you."
I didn't once watch him leave, nor do I believe he ever looked back. I listened to his footsteps grow more distant…and I knew that I would never see him again…
