No... No, Fujin, don't think that! I love you more than anything else in this world. Oh... don't think that! Dammit, no. Why? I know I'm an awful lover... Or even if I were classified as one... but... I do love you. Really... Fully... Truely... All the way. Why do you think otherwise? Is it because I'm an egoistic bastard who doesn't show what he really feels, but just the oppisite? I'm sorry, Fujin. How can I convince you otherwise?
"I'm sorry, Seifer." She says.
"N-no... its not... your fault... it's mine..."
"Seifer..."
"Dammit, Fuu, I'm so sorry... I do love you... so much... I don't know how I can get you to believe it, but I do..."
"...I don't know, Seifer... I just feel that way... I just... I just always loved you... and I knew you would never love me, but... then you said you did, and it was so hard to believe...!"
"...Fuu. I need you to know... and believe this." I didn't know what I was saying or where the hell it was coming from, but the words and feelings just tumbled out of my mouth.
"I love you... I do. I'd give my life for you. I need you... I need you to love me... I need you to know that you are first priority in my life... and you have been for quite sometime..."
"Seifer..." She placed her arms around me, and I held her, not wanting to let go, ever. But then, I felt something cold against my chest... something wet. I gently pushed Fujin away from me and stood in the moon light. A cold wet liquid spread across my chest. It was blood, but not my blood.
"Seifer?"
"Fujin, you've got to go to the hospital... you are bleeding."
"What?" She looks down at her shirt, and sees that she is bleeding right through her stitches. Fucking Leonheart.
~~~
The doctors at the hospital fixed Fujin up, and said that if she wanted to go home, she had to remain in bed all day, not wanting to risk loss of more blood. It was just turning daylight when we got home. I told Fujin to sleep in my bedroom, I don't know why, but she did what I told her to.
"Fuu, I gotta go to work."
"Seifer. You didn't sleep. Just call in and cancel."
"I can't. I gotta work the weekend or we aren't gonna be able to pay anything this month."
"Just have Raijin work late."
"Nah, can't ask him to do that. And still, it won't be enough."
"...Seifer."
"...Bye, Fujin."
"Ugh... bye." I exited my bedroom, and Raijin and I left.
~~~
Work was exceptionally horrible that day. I was tired, and felt awful. Not to mention the stitches in my stomach, which hurt like hell. I had to get them out today, which meant I had to come home later. I'd just have that done at the Dollet Hospital.
When I finally got home, it was 3:00am. I was so fucking tired. I just wanted to plop on the sofa and sleep, but, I didn't. I walked into my room to check on Fujin. She was sleeping and I walked over to her. I unbuttoned the top button of her shirt to make sure she wasn't bleeding, and she wasn't. I sighed a sigh of relief and tossed my trenchcoat in the closet, along with my Hyperion. I sighed and looked in the mirror, forking my fingers through my hair. It was then I realized how cold my room was. I tossed my gloves on my dresser and walked over to Fujin, who shuddered as a cold breeze entered through the open window. I laid a blanket over her, and shut the window. I walked into the living room, and feel asleep on the sofa.
The next morning I woke up feeling like shit, and I had an awful headache. I called in sick at work and plopped back on the sofa. Raijin walked over to me.
"How's Fujin?"
"She's fine. Don't bother her."
"Ah, alright. Shouldn't you get ready for work?" I sigh, annoyed.
"...I'm not going. You are gonna have to work late."
"What? I can't! I've got a date with Toni."
"Raijin! We need the fucking money, so work late. I'm fucking sick, and I can't work! I already worked my ass off yesterday... And I didn't even sleep, alright?! Damn, and no more sex with Toni in this house. Go to her house." ...
"I'm not workin' late, ya know?!" He left.
"...Fucking bastard." I muttered, walking into the bathroom to get dressed for work. After I got dressed, I called in saying I was working. Damn, life is so hard... Fujin must have emerged from my room while I was fumbling through the medicine cabinet for aspirin.
"Ugh, fucking aspirin. Fucking Leonheart. Fucking Raijin... Fuck! Have we no fucking aspirin?!" I muttered, not realizing she was standing in the doorway.
"I can go in today... I feel better. My neck doesn't hurt as much anymore." I turned, surprised she was there.
"N0... thats okay... I'll be fine."
"Seifer, really." She walked over to me and put her hand on my arm, reaching into the back of the cabinet producing a bottle of aspirin.
"I can go in." She finished.
"No way. I'm not gonna risk anything... I'll try to come home early."
"...Hm, alright. But, if you feel worse, come home." ...She sounds so... caring. Like a wife, almost. Pushing the thought out of my head, I downed three aspirins and nodded.
"You want some coffee?" She offered.
"Yeah, that would be nice."
"Okay."
~~~
While patroling the central square, I got dizzy and was K.Oed fighting a monster off. Once revived, my partner, Joe, suggested that I go home.
"No way, man."
"You look kinda pale though."
"...I don't care."
"It can't be good for you."
"Neither can losing my house."
"But, Almasy, you never get K.Oed."
"Oh well."
"Really, just go home! I'll cover for ya, and say ya worked the whole time."
"Joe, I'll be fine."
"No, really, mate, get yer arse home."
~~~
I got home at around 11pm, and Fujin was laying on the sofa, flicking through channels on the television.
"You're home early."
"Yeah..."
"Raijin's out with Toni."
"So that bastard didn't work late... hmph."
"Guess not... Um, Seifer, how are you feeling?" ...Like shit.
"Better."
"Thats good. My neck looks like it's healing well."
"Yeah? Lemme see." I tossed my trenchcoat and gloves on the coffee table and sat next to Fujin, who showed me the stitches.
"Yeah, they look a whole lot better."
"Mm. Did you ever get yours out?"
"Yeah, yesterday. I have a huge-ass scar too..." My voice trailed off when she frowned.
"...Sorry." I muttered, thinking that I had gotten her worried about getting scars.
"N-no, you didn't do anything. ...Um, I should probably get the ones on my arm removed soon, right?"
"Yeah."
