Disclaimer: I do not own ANY of the characters of the Final Fantasy universe ( even though I would love to be in it) and this is a love story with future lemons in the process. without further ado, here is the story...

A pair of blue eyes stood proud amongst the darkness that surrounded them as they stared into the ceiling, as if trying to find something that was not there.

" Fujin…" the Blonde boy said as he closed his eyes, trying to find sleep, only to have it run away from him again for the fourth time that week. The young man smiled when he heard his mother's light snoring coming from across the room, and rolled over to the side, staring at the wall that waited for him there. His blonde bangs were in his eyes as he slowly let sleep take him over finally, his breathing slowly calming down and settling.

The next day…

Zell Dincht slowly walked down hallway that led towards the training area of balamb garden, his arms perched behind his head. Ever since the Ultimecia incident, the world had been in a state of turmoil, but was slowly calming down. That much couldn't be said about Zell though. Zell stopped at the front entrance and slowly walked through the door that was in front of him, putting on his gloves.

"well.. at least this is what I can depend on right now…" he said before he ran straight for a grat, it's plant-like tentacles waving in the air as it walked.

Selphie watched from the main hall as Zell slowly walked into the training center for the umpteenth time that week, apparently venting his frustrations. On the outside, nothing would seem wrong for the bundle of energy that was Zell, but Selphie knew. Oh yes, she could see through his façade of normalcy and saw the true problem within Zell. Problem was that she didn't know what that problem was. Ever since their little groups journey to stop ultemecia from committing time compression, the group went through a little forced maturity spurt. It did nothing to them on a big note, but Selphie noticed that Zell had changed the most after the quest, his usual demeanor of boundless energy now evolved into a more powerful, controlled energy that made him look like he was impregnable.

"Sel sweetie what's the problem?" A man with a cowboy's hat said as he put his arm over Selphie's shoulder, making her look up.

"Nothing Irvine… it's nothing…" Selphie let herself get led away by her beloved as she continued to think things over about Zell's condition.

"I'll figure it out… one way or another…"

" Hiiiiyaa!" Zell screamed as he slammed his fist into the t-rexaur's jaw, a big sickening crack could be heard as the huge dinosaur's jaw shattered under the immense force of Zell's blow. The monster fell to the floor lifelessly; its blood seeping out of its split jaw and mouth coating the ground there. Zell took off one of his blood covered gloves and combed his naked hand through his now loose blonde hair, the gel in it long lost its hold on his tendrils of hair that reached his eyes. He then let his mind wander again as he stared into the lifeless eyes of the creature that he just killed.

He had changed. He had already known that ever since the first day that he had returned from fighting ultemecia. It was something minor, but it changed a lot within him when the adrenaline subsided in his veins from the fight with the sorceress from the future. Zell closed his eyes as he let the memory play itself out again.

flashback

Zell was all alone, and his head hurt. They had just finished the fight with Ultemecia, and now they were lost in the time compression. Zell walked around aimlessly, everything dark, desparatly trying to find somewhere to go, and as if someone heard him, he suddenly found himself standing in front of his front door. Zell's eyes opened in relief and he instantly walked in with no judgment, only to be stopped dead in his tracks by something he thought he would never see.

Fujin was standing in front of him, with her usual attire gone, and was replaced with a blue nightie that made her pale skin almost look like porcelain. Zell stood still like a deer caught in the headlights as he saw her come towards him. Her short, silver hair had grown a little longer than before, but only enough so that her hair can cover her wounded eye instead of her usual eye patch.

" hello Alexander…" Fujin said softly as she got closer to Zell who's face resembled a fish out of water.

" how did she know my middle name! I NEVER told anyone my middle name…" Zell said aloud more to himself, but Fujin had heard it and said as she got closer to him, putting her face close to his and putting her hand against the wall next to him, effectively trapping Zell,

"oh trust me Zell…I know way more than that… I know what makes you sad… what makes you mad… what makes you shiver…" she said and as for emphasis she caressed her cheek against Zell's, and bent her head so that she can drop a large wet kiss on his neck, making Zell's heart skip a beat and his semi-erect cock jump slightly as he moaned softly.

Fujin withdrew and said against his lips, her silver hair tickling Zell's forehead,

" Most of all Zell… I know that you're lonely…" Zell nodded and he saw her throw him a small smile that he found endearing and she said in a hushed whisper to Zell as she put her hand on his chest,

'Can I have you?..." Zell closed his eyes as he let the loving tone of her voice plus the words made him melt and his veins go aflame.

" I'm all yours…" Zell barely managed to get out before Fujin kissed him, deep and slow, combing both of her hands through the Zell's hair, making it lose it's gravity-defying style. Zell moaned as he felt her tongue press against his lips and the fingertips of one of her hands tracing the intricate tattoo that was on the right side of his face and he willingly accepted, deepening the kiss. He finally found out that he can move his hands and slowly moved his hand towards her face, touching her face and moving it towards her face, cradling it in his hand as he continued to kiss her. When Zell's thumb brushed against her wounded eye, Fujin jumped by instinct and broke the kiss, her lips swollen and her chest heaving. Zell woke from his bliss filled reverie and saw the look of shame splashed all across her face.

Zell saw that she was nervous about her eye, and saw her bend her head down slightly in order to hide her imperfection. Zell grabbed her hand, which got her to look at his face with her one cerulean orb, and Zell brushed away her hair, revealing her other eye, and smiled as he saw the long, diagonal scar that covered her eye, and Zell said as he went to kiss it,

" my angel…" Fujin couldn't help it and she threw her arms around her arms around Zell, making him swell with love for her.

" I love you Zell…"

Zell then suddenly felt as if someone was pulling him back, surrounded again by depressing darkness. He looked around frantically and saw the sight of him hugging Fujin slowly fading away from him. Zell soon realized that he was in a moment from the future, and he felt his heart shatter to a million pieces as the sight slowly faded away to nothing. Zell couldn't believe what he had seen. Zell would admit that the only feelings that he had for anyone is the Silver haired girl with the eye patch. The woman that always gave one word responses, yet somehow that one word always says more. There was no denying it… Zell was in love with the so called "Ice queen" that everyone avoided, be it because of her, or because of her friends. Zell got out of his thoughts and looked around to see any way out of time compression. It was then that he ran into another piece of the future…
