Worth

Meek, unsure, voice soft and scared.

"I-I d-don't know."

So scared.

Harsh green eyes glint in the fluorescent light of the office.

"Don't know what Cadet?"

Face burning, body shaking in terror. Didn't know this man, never knew this man before now.

I'm sorry…

"I-I-I d-d-don't k-k-k-"

"STOP STUTTERING!"

Head snapping up, eyes wide with fear and blue eyes brimming with tears.

Silence.

Oh god, forgive me, please.

"I think that will be all General." The man in the blue suite says, standing from his chair and walking past the nearly broken Cadet towards the doorway.

ImsorryImsorryImsorry.

Green eyes soften as soon as the man leaves and the sound of shifting leather fill's the office.

"Cloud…"

One step forward and one step back, cat and mouse as old as time and life itself.

"Cloud." Firmer this time, green eyes fixed on the retreating youth.

Dummy, stupid idiot!

Tears roll down cheers turned pink with humiliation.

How could I have been so stupid!

Strong hands grab narrow shoulders and pull the youth into an embrace of warmth.

"Cloud…" Softer this time, a hint of desperation hidden but somehow making it through with that one word alone.

Never wanted, never loved.

"I'm sorry,"

LiesliesLIES!

Finally the youth breaks down, clinging and sobbing into that cruel warm embrace that could break him with a mere flick of the wrist.

Weak, childish and ignorant of everything the universe has to cruelly tease him with.

"Shhhh," Gently, slowly, leather gloves tip the youths face up and one that should knew better, the one that holds all the cards, bends down and softly kisses away the tears, feels the burning warmth of cheeks beneath his lips and berates himself for hurting such an innocent creature he had no right to hold.

Don't understand, don't understand; The mantra running through the blondes head as he tips his head up, mouth parting open and eyes the colour of a clear sky closing at the feel of lips against his.

Warmth, dummies don't deserve such warmth.

Chokes back a sob at the flick of a tongue seeking permission against his lips and squeezes his eyes tightly.

Dreaming, this isn't real.

Blue eyes open and the youth pull's himself away from the older man, hands rising to push against the strong chest.

I'm so stupid…

"Cloud," Hands move to cup the blondes face, brushing aside stray tears. "I have two faces."

Dummy—what?

Confusion shines brightly in the Cadet's face, puzzled expression staring into the Generals.

"One face is for the public, for the soldiers and the battles."

Felt the pounding heart-beat underneath his fingertips.

"The other is private and for you alone."

Mind blank and eyes wide.

"Me?" whispered, body frozen.

Warmth in such green eyes; can't help but stare in awe.

"You,"

I'm... not worthless…?

Feels tears sting his eyes but this time for a different reason.

"Me." Whispered so reverently and felt the hands slide to his waist, tugging him back into that sinfully warm embrace.

"You."

End.

Its hard making myself purposely depressed, damn it!
