Chapter 1: Gift

Christmas, nonsense, this stupid holiday. Absolutely none. They say it's about giving and

receiving and being happy, if it was I would be happy too but I'm not. All these lights,

decorations smiles songs just make me want to barf. I often wondered if I was a good boy

if I'd be getting what I wanted for Christmas. A smile comes on my face at that thought.

I must be dreaming your right, I Sepiroth must be dreaming. Santa doesn't have murders

on his list.He'd be too afraid to deliver at my home if I owned a tree.This foolish season I

don't even see why I'm thinking about it so much. I should be on my way to that broken

down apartment I live in. Funny huh, great warrior, to evil dude, to the bottom of the

totem pole. Just as worthless and pathetic as these humans I'm surrounded by. My

apartment building isn't much but not like I care I just sleep there my days are spent

hanging around. After being defeated by Cloud and his friends, I was killed but revived.

You could say I was given a second chance. I'm not so sure why, makes no sense when it

will never be the same. You know the saying Good guys always win, and bad guys lose.

Oh god I'm even starting to think like these people. I just need to rest my silvery little

head. Getting inside my reck of my apartment I make my way straight to the fridge.

Opening the rusty fridge that looks like its been here for absolutely ages, I take one

glance, and make a note to my self. ' Must do some grocery shopping'. Things hasn't

been the best since my last battle, which was 5 years ago but the again nothing ever was

for me. Black boots scuff the carpet as I drag my weary form to my bedroom. I take a

seat near my bedroom window before I take my shower for the night. I watch closely

the city lights, the buzzing of the streets, the people and lastly at the moon. At this, one

person comes to mind, Cloud Strife. I will never forget his blue eyes or his chocobo

blond hair. My insides twist and churn at the thought of him. It happens every time.

Though I rarely admit it to myself, I've always held some sort of attraction to the young

male. I remember first meeting him in soldier days. He was so egar, determined to

become a warrior just like me. He wasn't so cold and shut off back then, but who am I to

speak when I'm the cause of his change. I really need to stop speaking about him it hurts

too much. Would it be a lie if I said I loved him, maybe. It would be a lie if I said I

didn't. I'm so confused I feel a headache coming on, all those Christmas carols from the

apartment next door isn't helping any. Quickly I just grab something out to wear to bed.

It isn't much a pair of black boxers and a white shirt. Lazily I step in the shower

knowing my thoughts will all be plagued by him. When is it not? Every time I think

about him, I think how much he must hate me, despise me. I've killed so many who

wouldn't. Its hard to believe I got a second chance. Every time I remember the almost

hurt and determined look on his face before he gave me my finishing blow; I cant help

but think what if he cares about me just a little. Then all of that is blown away when

visions of our past come to mind. We were never lovers not even friends he wouldn't

care. I need to stop, I really do its not helping the situation. A crazier thought comes to

mind right then as I end my shower session. If that fat guy with the white beard and red

outfit was real, and I was good would he bring me what I wanted for Christmas? I almost

laugh at the hilarious thought, convinced now I've gone psychotic. Pushing my long

silvery hair behind me I step out of the shower stall dripping wet. I glance quickly to see

if I've changed any, and the mirror assures me nothing has. I'm still tall, creamy, lean,

have great abs, hair, smile and eyes. Gorgeous. I almost smile at the conceited thought.

Stepping out into my bed room in the nude a huge box in the middle of the room catches

my attention. Cautiously I approach it. A gift? And a quite large one at that. Red and

white with green bows. Raising a slender eyebrow my curiosity seems to get the better of

me. Surely if its someone sent to kill it wasn't happening. I quickly grab my sweat pants

and slip into them before moving to open the box, sword in hand. I round the box twice

before my hand rests on the large green bows. " Here goes nothing." I tug on the bow

pulling it loose cause the sides of the box to fall at my feet. What I see lying seductively

in the box clad in a red makes my heart leap into my throat. " Cloud?!"
