Seifer.
Kissing me. Here, now. In the middle of the Garden. What was *I* thinking?
I don't know.
Why was I still standing here? Why didn't I just pull back and imprint his face with Ergheiz? Why am I letting him kiss me?
Damn. I knew I liked it.
The way my hands were tangled in his hair, the way I was pulling myself closer and tighter into him, the way my lips were parting for him.
Damn. This was so familiar.
He pulled back and watched me. 'Do you remember me *now*?' he whispered. At first, I was confused. Remember ...
They hit me harder than Ultima. I almost fell to the ground until Seifer caught me and held me to his chest.
Floods, rivers overflowing, memories returning.
Us, Seifer and me, sitting under a tree, relaxing. When we were about fourteen or fifteen. A little before we joined Garden together. Me leaning back into Seifer's chest, his arms around me. How protected I felt, how comfortable, how ... loved.
Quezacotl. The thunderbird had taken away my best memories. Making room for his flowing wings.
Damn.
I looked up at Seifer, still carefully holding me. I leaned up and kissed his lips, reluctantly pulling away.
'I've hated you for no reason.'
'I hoped that bugging you might bring back your memories. I refused to junction the GFs because I was afraid I would lose my favorite memories ... of you.'
'Seifer ...' Tears started to roll down my cheeks. 'I'm sorry.'
'Just kiss and make up.'
