I find this ironic....if you know me, my favorite pairing is
Yuffie/Sephiroth, and here's this Tifa/Sephiroth fic!!! That's not ironic
in itself, though, what's really ironic is that the person I'm writing this
for is a dedicated Tifa/Sephiroth fan and she's writing me a
Yuffie/Sephiroth fan.
Ahem. ^^;;; enough rambling!
[flashback]
A voice, taunting. "She's dead now, aren't you going to make your move?"
"You killed her." Anger.
"She was in my way. In yours too, wasn't she?"
"I didn't want her to die!"
"Now you have your chance with Cloud."
"Damnit, I don't want him." A pause. "Not this way, not by death."
"You don't want him at all." Taunting, again.
[End flashback]
'Now Cloud is mako poisoned, Aeris is dead,' thought Tifa, 'Just great.'
She turned to the forest from the small clearing she was sitting in near Mideel, and said loudly, "Just WONDERFUL, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is."
Tifa was surprised this time. "Why don't you leave me alone!" she yelled out in frustration, staring into the icy emerald eyes of Sephiroth.
"Because I love you."
"No you don't."
Sephiroth glared at her, and grabbed her, making her face her, "Don't you dare tell me what I feel! I know better than you!"
Tifa glared back, but let her body go somewhat limp to let him know she understood.
"Yes, I knew you'd understand," sighed Sephiroth. "I don't really want to hurt you, but you must realize by now that Cloud seriously can't care for you. Whereas..." A pause. "I can."
~As I sat here Sitting in silence The wind whispered by in pain~
"How can you?" Tifa asked, "Love that is." She paused. "I mean, you are trying to destroy humans, yet you claim that you love me."
"Ah, it is complicated, my dear, but it all works out." He looked at her meaningfully, "If you let it."
~I realized something As I look back I realized now~
"Cloud, he," Tifa said, "He's always...there, when I need him, but he never...realizes that I want him to be more than a friend. And here, you, my enemy, come, and tell me you want to be mine........"
"And we love each other."
"I love Cloud." That response was automatic, and Tifa almost regretted saying it. Sephiroth grabbed her again, lifting her by the shoulders until she was eye to eye with him.
"Tell me that you love Cloud again."
~I think I'm in love~
Tifa said nothing.
He shook her. "TELL ME!"
~But nobody knows~
She dropped her eyes, and whispered, "I love .......you."
~I think I'm in love~
Suddenly, he dropped her, and she landed on the forest, where she didn't bother to get up. After a minute, she looked up.
"You're crying......?" asked Tifa incredulously, looking at Sephiroth.
Indeed he was.
"Why?" She asked.
~But nobody knows~
Sephiroth turned away from her. "You said you loved me. You said you loved me when you could have said you loved Cloud, and you said you loved me." He was desperately pulling himself together. Tifa came and wrapped her arms around his waist, holding him gently.
"Even if I'll never admit it again," Tifa said softly, "It's true."
