Shared Feelings
Written by Terra Trepe

Chapter 15: Tears of Truth

His mind filled with rage, he strode through these silent corridors with hasty steps.

This furious man's strong steps echoed on the some faraway and empty corners when he walked along this long corridor, passing many silver doors on his way, not really thinking where he was heading.

Even when had no clue where all these rooms and never-ending corridors lead to, as he had only vague memories from the times he had spent here at the Galbadia Garden, Seifer didn't really care about it right now as he continued his fast walking.

He was pissed off. Why? Well, even Seifer himself didn't exactly know the reason for his behaviour, but he knew this was one of the effects she had on him.

Quistis Seifer wasn't really angry toward her, but he was angry to himself and to these feelings that constantly roamed inside him and made him do these acts, that even he didn't understand doing.

She was too much for him to handle. These all different feelings tangled to each other, forming this very complicated net of emotions that always got triggered from her acts.

Quistis keeping on walking after him, her delicate steps sounding clearly smaller than his sturdy ones, she tried to approach this man's mind with her silent call, truly wanting to explore all the things that went inside his somehow anguished mind. But he gave her no respond, keeping up his pace that started to become too fast for Quistis to keep up with.

Seifer, please. Talk to me. Tell me what you are thinking. Her voice was music to his ears, that soft and smooth voice so full and this time very warm and reaching.

What do you mean with that Almost surprised to hear him talking after this long silence, Quistis lost the track of her mind for a minute, now actually pondering what she had meant with it.

I just You seemed somehow angered about something.

Seifer kept on walking, this time playing with her words. He knew perfectly what she meant. He had just a few minutes ago walked away from her rudely, when she had mentioned Squall's name.

He was angry, but didn't see any reason to tell her that.

Are you angry at me? Her voice twinkling with suspiciousness, she once again tried her best to keep up with his speed.

He didn't answer anything, but instead, he turned to the silver door to his right and walked into the classroom it was leading into, Quistis following his steps right to the middle of the classroom where he stopped.

Looking the room through with his searching eyes, Seifer tried to look the room from any exit. There was no door here other than the door they had just entered through.

Seifer turned again with a twirl of his long trench coat and ignored the timid but concerned Quistis who was standing almost next to him, the end of his coat caressing her legs with a passing touch.

Her gaze followed him all the way through the classroom to the door they had just passed through from, but this time she wasn't following him. Even when Seifer tried to give the expression that he didn't care, he stopped right in front of the silver door, before it was going to open up.

He turned around this time, trying his best to cover his true feelings with the frustrated and uncaring face, when he sighed lowly, looking into her eyes with mildly stern gaze: Are you coming with me

The way his words flew to the air, catch her ear. His tone of voice was really visible and she could sense that he was acting some kind of act. He was trying to cover up something, but what

I won't come before you tell me what's wrong.

There's nothing wrong

You don't need to lie to me, Seifer

Suddenly feeling nervous from this situation, Seifer tried to recall the times when he was able to talk almost from anything. Not even a single memory came to his mind.

Could it truly be that he had ever felt like being able to talk about things honesty and not unfairly?

Why did you come here, Quistis His question having a timid tone she had ever before heard, Quistis felt suddenly unable to say anything.

Did you come here because of Squall His eyes passing through the floor, Seifer bit his tongue from asking that question. The question wasn't really important at all but the answer was going to be really weighing on him.

She raised her eyes to search his, as she tried to get some kind of picture what was going on his mind. If she just knew that he was as confused and in the same hurtful state as she was, this would have been easier for her to do.

I came here because of you, Seifer Her voice straining and cracking bit at the end, Quistis chewed her lower lip, as she tried to fought up the tears that burned on her eyes now.

Looking up to her eyes, Seifer felt shocked and relieved at the same time.

One tear slipped down her cheek slowly, catching his eyes and mind. The reason why she was crying was hazy to him, as it was to her too, but he suddenly felt like crying too.

When she looked up to his emerald eyes, she realised that she had never before felt like this. Quistis had thought she loved Squall like this, but now she could feel the difference better than ever before.

The relationship between her and Seifer had changed very much these past hard months of their empty lives, and she was more than keen to discover that they had found this very unique and strong bond between themselves that would never brake apart, no matter how far away they would be from each other.

Quistis wanted to be open with him about the emotions she had kept hidden inside herself She wanted to tell him everything.

How much she had feared she would never again see him.

How much she had missed him, his warm and gentle touch against her, touching her the way that had the power of melting even the biggest ice berks.

How much she wanted to touch him too, try to repay him even half of the pleasure he brought to her with his caring touch.

That she wanted only him

Seifer, I When her heart soared from these many deep emotions, she tried to search her lost voice, but didn't find any words known in this planet that could describe this passion that she had searched for her whole life.

Deciding that she didn't need to say anything, she came closer to him, settling her heart to show her emotions in this simple but very meaningful touch. She leaned up closer to him, her eyes flattened into emotional slits, few tears overwhelming from her blue eyes.

Seifer's eyes detected hers from the same feelings he felt toward her and for a first time ever his emerald eyes were openly showing his real soul.

She closed her eyes now, her ruby lips searching his as she started to closer up to him. His half closed eyes were full of emotions, as he grazed her lips with his smooth gaze, looking that soft curve that followed the outlines of her silk like lips that he now wanted to seal with his.

Finally presenting her searching lips with his thin ones, Quistis body squirmed closer up to him with a soft sigh, as he enveloped her body into his arms, giving her a shelter from herself.

She felt her legs giving up on her as she started to move gently her soft fully lips against his in this slow motion. If Seifer hadn't been holding her in this gentle but robust embrace, she would have surely lost her balance, as she couldn't even feel her legs anymore.

The undying sparkle inside them both, started to burst more wildly now, sparkles going through their all senses, feeling like some of them were making their way out of their chest in the twinkling wave of shivers.

His eyes were open this whole time, examining her reactions and feelings she felt, and he could see she was in the same heaven he was right now. Seifer felt so warm in this emotional moment, only this time truly knowing that she was the one for him. The painful tears slipping down on her cheeks only confirmed that she was hurt She needed someone special and it had started to appear that Seifer was the one to be that one.

Those tears he saw, although they were very painful and hard to go with, they were beautiful and honest They were tears of truth

Never again he would let her go Never again, that he had promised.

Her silent sobs getting unbearable now, as the overflow of all the sealed feelings coming out at the same time weighting her mind, she broke this very emotional kiss up and hid her slightly blushed face against his shoulder.

A deep sigh left out of his chest after he had taken a deep inhale of air and Seifer now looked down to her face, seeing the tears flowing out of her eyes and gracing down her silky cheeks. Her sweet and now very vulnerable looking facial expressions were filled with silent anguish, as she cried softly against him.

In a gentle stroke, Seifer slid his hand up from her waist to her back and brushed her closer up to him. Carefully going down to sit to the floor, he guided her safely down with him, their bodies not separated for even a second, as she kept herself close to him, her hold of him never loosening.

Finally in a sitting position, Seifer had his legs open, his right kneel pointing towards the air, and Quistis was sitting between them, repositioning her legs over his left one that rested along the floor.

Seifer supported her back with his right hand as she started to move closer towards him, this time her face facing him.

As she laced her other arm behind his neck, she hid her face against the soft fabric of his black vest, and closed her tearful eyes down as she landed her other slender hand against his abdomen.

Seifer had her so close to him, as she was practically on his laps, and Seifer felt a little heated from this feeling of his lovely angel so close to him, so reachable for his touch.

Why are you crying?

Looking down to her drifting and softening expressions on her peaceful face, Seifer saw her breathing slowing down seemingly, as she drowsed into sleep she had deserved.

The many hurting tears had left many flows of wet traces, now only one tear slowly sliding down on her cheek.

Unconsciously, almost like in hypnotised state, Seifer leaned towards her peaceful face, stroking that one salty tear away from her cheek with his yearning mouth. The bitter taste of the tear tasted salty inside his mouth, teasing the back of his tongue as he retreated his face away from her.

He kept looking down to this sleeping form of the angel that had lost her beautiful wings, and he silently pledged himself never to let her have those tears again.

These every single emotion, no matter how small or big, confused him lightly. He had never before felt anything like this, not even about Rinoa and he didn't know how to go with it, as he had truly thought that what he had for Rinoa was the closest thing for love he could ever experience.

But Quistis She had changed everything.

I think I've learned to love, Quistis

His words were rough from emotions and he felt his eyes filling with tears he had never before let out. The inner damn somewhere inside him had broken down, but she was already asleep and couldn't respond to him

Even when her consciousness were somewhere far away from here, she brought comfort and warm to his anguished mind only with her present.

Moving his hand to her delicate neck, he gave a soft tousle to her hair as he leaned his head to rest against hers, some of his silent tears sliding down to her hair.

Softly closing his eyes, Seifer was guided into utterly contented state of peace by the warm sensation of her body and the lovely fragrant of her hair filling his senses.
