Seifer Almasy. Former Knight of Ultimecia. Destroyer of worlds.

He had always been cocky and arrogant. Putting her down and calling her names. She saw now it was all only a mask. Something to hide his true feelings behind.

He loved her.

"Seifer" she said softly.

The word rang in her ears like sweet music. She knew there was only one thing to do. Quistis walked over and slid her hand into his black gloved one. His eyes ignited like fire as a smile spread across his normally cold face.

He kissed her then, passionate. Quistis felt like he was taking her all in. Her soul her being, it all belonged to the famous sorceress ex-knight. She melted in his arms, not even noticing as Irvine silently left the clearing.

The world was theirs, all they had to do was take it. Seifer grabbed her hand and began to run, pulling her along behind him. They ran passed the others, all the way to the beach. Upon reaching there he did not stop, but instead crashed into the water.

The surf crashed around them as they tumbled into the water, their lips meeting. Cool, blue ocean surrounded their hot bodies as they held each other tight. His kiss was fire and passion, it was a need for love. He wanted her in everyway a man could want a woman, he wanted her to keep.

To have and to hold. To be beside forever. Seifer could ask no more then that from Quistis Trepe.

"I love you, Seifer" she whispered when they surfaced. His green eyes stared into her blue for a few long moments. The water clung to her eye lashes like tiny crystal droplets gleaming in the morning sun.

"I've always loved you" he said kissing her again. Warmth and fire roared through her as she felt alive for the very first time.

This was the man she had taught, shown how to use his Hyperion. Quistis had been there when he first junctioned a GF, she he killed his first T-rexuar in the training center. The whole time she had been exasperated by him, he was just wanting to be near her.

This was the man she had secretly wept over when they thought he was dead so long ago. Twice she had thought he was dead, once after the parade. Once after Gilgamesh had banished him in the Lunatic Pandora.

When they were children he would find seashells on the beach. He had spent hours looking for them, looking for the most beautiful ones. Giving them to her at the end of the day. All the kids had known she collected seashells and would occasionally bring her one. Seifer had always been shy, simply saying nothing as he sat it down in front of her. She still had one of them back at the garden, one of the only ones that remained unbroken through it all.

It had been Seifer that had broken, and their love would mend him.

Seifer had always had a romantic dream, Quistis had never once guessed that she would be included in it. He would be her knight, he would protect her when she needed it. He would hold her in the times to come. The times when things got rough and she simply needed to cry. Seifer would become the core of strength she was always looking for, a knight in shinning armor to keep her safe.

And she would become his angel. Saving him from the threatening darkness deep within him. The memories of his past deeds and the judgments to come. She would hold him in the nights to come when he was plagued by memories and night mares.

Quistis knew that it wouldn't be easy when she chose Seifer. With him she was prepared to take on the world.

His love was fire, and she welcomed it. She allowed it to consume her fully, becoming one with him. Each still their own entity but both of them linked by a bond that burned forever in their hearts,

Never once did she regret feeling that flame.
