A/N: A repost from not only Tumblr, but my AO3. This is a Tumblr prompt requested by the lovely Dee_Moyza! Since Selphie is one of my favorite characters, I couldn't resist.
How many days has it been since she was out on assignment? Has it been four days or was it a week? Time seemed inconsequential to her and her squadmates after another successful mission. Everyone was talking about what they were going to do once they had returned. Some wanted to spend time with their families, others wanted to take some of their hard-earned vacation times and some had a partner or two that they wanted to spend time with.
Being a skilled mercenary was an interesting life; deadly, but exciting in its own ways. However, listening to how others had plans to be with those that mattered most to them, a new SeeD inquires softly in the train car, "Tilmitt, is there anyone you want to return home to?" Their voice quiet in the compartment room they shared with three others.
Selphie would be remiss to say there wasn't anyone she could think of off the top of her head. Her home for as long as she could remember was Trabia. She still had plans to return to continue helping in the restoration front. Yet, the question wasn't a matter of where, but of whom.
Her first thought was actually thinking of her audience that tune into her blog and the newly established section forum she implemented. She knows that they were excited to hear her return; captivated by what street-smart or informative wisdom she could bestow on them. Selphie's second thought was of her friends in Balamb Garden, returning to them to talk about her success and trying to plan for them to hang out, even if she needed time to decompress from the stressors of her last assignment.
The final thought caused her features to transform from contemplative to sentimental. There was someone that she was interested in returning home to. To wrap her arms around when she arrives to greet him; allowing herself to be pampered by those strong hands that always comment on how tense she is when returning from her time away. To melt at his passion for knowledge and adventure; succumbing to both of their desires due to their time apart.
Selphie wasn't all that mushy in regards to herself, but the thought of him was mesmerizing.
"Yeah, there is!" She beamed back at the younger SeeD Elite, "He'd be pretty bummed if I didn't come back, so I can't wait to see him."
The other brunette in question, gave a half-crooked smile, "He's really lucky to have someone like you."
End Note: I left this up for interpretation, but the context clues really only give you two options as to who that mystery man could be. Three if you're extra spicy. If you personally asked me, I can guarantee you that it's not the man most people think it is. ;)
