Disclaimer: This takes place after Sexual Preference and before part two of that chapter. This is for all ov you who want to know about who raven really is and what's been going on in her life. (U know who you are.) She is based after me. Of course. (Smiley face) But anyway, don't know em, don't own em. Peace, Jess (Raven)
Flashback
Seifer looked at Raven who was asleep beside him and admired her child-like looks. She looked the same, or almost as she had when they met at the garden two years ago...
*
Raven was 16 when she arrived at Balamb Garden from earth. Her uncle, some kind of god from Earth, sent her to the Garden for some training.
In her and Seifer's fight she beat him quicker than he's ever been beaten before. Seifer laughed sheepishly at that memory. He remembered that very well. She was a real bitch then. And she was strong. She was strong now but not like then.
And back then she had longer hair, about mid-calf length and paler than white, almost translucent. Now her hair was shoulder length and a snow white color. Her eyes had changed too. They used to be a real pale violet color, much like a young orchid but now.... Now they were a dark, almost black-violet.
He felt nails dig into his chest and he looked at raven. Her nails had grown considerably, almost half and inch. She used to have real bad nightmares too and it seems she still had them.
She was only at the garden for about a year and a half but Seifer had fallen hard and fast for the young warrior. He loved her and when she left he hoped to Ifrit that he would never be so gullible for a pretty face again. Especially hers.
Until a letter had arrived for him to go to Earth. Her uncle, the war god of Greece, had started a school for warriors and him and his rival, Squall Leonheart, had been accepted.
And it HAD to be her waiting on them at the transport dock. He knew he'd fall harder than ever for her when he saw her again but her never expected tears. He never ever cried, not even when he had gotten his scar but he just couldn't hold it inside any longer.
He also had promised himself that Squall would never see him weaken but when he looked at Squall all he saw in his face was a knowing. Like he understood their relationship better that Seifer himself ever could have hoped to.
And in that instant, in the transport dock surrounded by strangers and hugging raven tight against him he understood destiny, love and what it means to have, and be, a soulmate.
