Moments

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the FFXIII characters, and if I did, Serah would not be Snow's fiancée! Also, since I know very little of the actual story, I apologize for any inaccuracies that exist, but it's fanfiction, so it's ok, right?


Sorry – Part 1

"How could you let him get away?!" Lightning shouted with seething anger. "That man could have had valuable information on finding out where Serah is and how to get her back!"

"The guy was really fast alright! Damn! You know speed's not my thing! I turn my head away from him for one second, and before I realize what's going on, the bastard kicks me in the face! When I came to, he was long gone."

She was so angry that she was ready to punch him in the face, repeatedly! "Is that ALL you have to say for yourself? You're the one who lost Serah in the first place, and if your carelessness prevents us from saving her, I swear I'll-"

"Lightning…I'm sorry ok…for everything! I'm sorry I couldn't protect her, I'm sorry I let her become a l'Cie, I'm sorry I let that guy get away, I'm sorry!" Snow shouted in anguish, releasing all the guilt he had been carrying with him.

Lightning stopped in her tracks, shocked at what she just heard.

Snow sure did talk a lot, but this was the first time she ever heard him say those two words.

All she could do was stare at him; for the first time since she met him, the 6 ft man looked small and vulnerable, his head down low like a quivering child with a guilty conscience. After a long pause, he finally broke the silence.

"…I can't do this without you, Light. I can't save her by myself."

It was strange. Just moments ago she was about to murder this man for his careless mistake, but now all she could do was feel sympathy for him. She slowly reached out her hand and gently touched his. "We will save her…together. I promise."

Snow sighed, feeling a slight weight had been lifted off his shoulders. "Thanks, Light."


Note: I was just remembering how Snow said that he could save the world and Serah, and so I decided to write something based on that.
