A Flower for My Love – Purity (Warrior of Light)
"Sorry, Light." She tossed her pink hair over her shoulder. "I don't think Vaan can look after himself. Actually, I don't think Laguna could either." Lightning laughed slightly, her blue-gray eyes not leaving my face. "I appreciate you asking me to team up with you, though. Me, with the whole team's leader." She chuckled again, striding away.
I don't know why I'm so disappointed. I don't know why I actually care about something other than the goal—winning. Defeating Chaos.
But I find myself following her, almost lost without a smile from her. When she's on patrol, I'm almost saddened if she refuses my company.
Keeping vigilant watch on the battlefield is lonely work. At least life still grows here, though. Flowers bloom, incredibly, matching force with the darkness—growing through cracks, gripping firmly with their roots.
The white ones are my favorite. The purity of their fragile petals is more than enchanting and sometimes I can't help but pick a few.
Maybe I could give one to Lightning. Maybe she wouldn't mind.
When I finally approach her, it's almost rehearsed. Almost. I feel almost intimidated by her, as if I'm just a young schoolboy giving a dandelion to his teacher.
"I picked a flower for you." I clear my throat awkwardly, staring at her shoes rather than her eyes.
"Light?" She queries, a bit quieter than usual. She tilts her head and takes the flower gently.
"I hope you don't believe I'm too forward." I almost run off when she turns away, but she looks back with a gentle ferocity in her eyes.
"Not at all." She takes a slight step forward and the whisper of her lips brushing my cheek is all it takes to set my heart beating.
So a vessel of light was bestowed with a more human heart.
