The End of a Dream

~4~

Fantasy or Reality?

He struggled violently, but he made no progress. It was just no use. His vision was beginning to fade as the lack of air was taking effect. It was hopeless. They were both going to die.

Vincent stared at the limp man that he was carrying. 'I may have to let him go . . . There's nothing I can do. I need to make a decision now or else we'll be too deep fore me to reach the surface even if I do let him go.'

He thought desperately. There had to be something he could do. He thought and thought until he remembered something. He took out a piece of green materia. "Unlitmia!" He said letting out the last of his air supply. 'This better work!' He aimed it toward the bottom of the lake.

A beam of light shot off and propelled the two men up towards the surface. 'Ahahahahahaha!!! It worked! It actually worked!'

The blast brought them to the surface in an instant. The gun fighter gasped for air as he swam to the shore with Sephiroth. He climbed out of the water and lied the other man down. His eyes widened. He wasn't breathing. "Fuck . . ." He mumbled. "Oh shit . . ."

He shook the sliver haired man in an attempt to wake him. "Sephiroth? Sephiroth!?" He couldn't be dead. No, Vincent couldn't accept that. He had put so effort into rescuing him and now he was dead? Had he failed Lucrecia yet again?

"No . . . I haven't given up yet Sephiroth! You better wake up!" He pressed down against his chest repeatedly. Lucky for him, they though CPR in the Turks. He took a deep breath and opened Sephiroth's mouth with his fingers. Without second thought he brought his mouth up to the other man's and exhaled into his mouth. "Come on . . ." He mumbled. He applied pressure to Sephiroth's chest again then blew more air into him.

The ex-general moved slightly and started coughing up water. Vincent sighed in relief. "Thank god . . ." The other man rolled over on his side, shivering in his sleep. "Uh-oh . . ." The gun fighter remembered that he'd been in that icy cold water. "This is just great . . . I need to get him dry before he gets really sick . . ." He also looked at the deep gash that Cloud had gave him. "I need some bandages as well . . ."

He stood up and ran back to where Cloud and Tifa were. "Blanket! Bandages!"

The blonde looked at him, puzzled. "What? Hey! You're all wet!" He gasped. "And you're covered with blood!"

"No shit . . ." He mumbled.

"Hn?"

"Uh . . . Yeah . . . I fell into the lake by accident and I need a blanket. On the way here I was attacked by this giant . . . hairless . . . man . . . squirrel! Can I have some? " He lied.

Cloud nodded giving him a funny look. "Sure. I'll go get some for you." He reached into his pack and pulled out a blanket and bandages.

Vincent snatched the blanket and some bandages from the mercenary's hand and ran off. "Thanks I owe you one!"

"Uh . . . Your welcome?" He scratched his head watching the other man run off again. "Weirdo . . ."

The ravened haired man rushed back to Sephiroth and quickly pulled off his damp clothes and wrapped the bandages around his wound. Then, he pulled the blanket around him. "There."

After awhile, he stopped shivering. He looked so harmless; completely different from the same man who had caused so much pain in the past. Vincent sighed. "Like a baby . . ." He laughed slightly to him self and gathered some tree branches. He lied them down on the ground and casted a fire materia spell.

****

He slowly opened his eyes. Did he survive death again? He sat up and winced in pain. The silver haired man looked down at the bandages that were neatly wrapped around him. He didn't die this time. No, this time he was rescued.

He looked around until he spotted Vincent sitting next to a fire. His clothes were there too, drying. The raven haired man was shivering in nothing but his black pants. Sephiroth walked over to him and chucked the diary at the other man, hitting him on the head.

The gun fighter didn't move. He just sat there pocking the fire with a stick. "Something wrong?"

"You knew about this all a long didn't you Valentine!?"

"Yes . . . I did. I thought you'd like to read it for yourself . . ." He stared at the flames then glanced at the silver haired man. Sephiroth still had the blanket wrapped around him, but it was open, revealing his muscular chest and lower . . . He stopped himself from looking any further. "So . . . How do you feel?"

Sephiroth glared at him. "Perhaps you would like to explain to me why I am nude?"

"You would have gotten sick if I didn't get you dry. . ."

"What happened anyway?"

"Cloud attacked you and you fell into the lake. I had to jump in and get you before you sank. I must say . . . you are quite heavy; almost drowned me . . ." He laughed to himself.

The silver haired man sat down next to him, pulling the blanket tighter around himself. "Why?"

"Why what?"

"What did you save me? We are all ready even from last time. So why?"

He paused. " . . . I made a promise to someone . . ."

"Oh really? Who might that be?" He arched an eyebrow at the shivering man next to him.

"Sephiroth, do you know that rather large waterfall?" He nodded. "You should go there some time . . ."

He narrowed his eyes at Vincent. "You have not answered my question yet, Valentine."

"Go to the waterfall and you shall find out for yourself."

Vincent's shivering was beginning to irritate Sephiroth. That idiot jumped into freezing cold water and almost drowned trying to rescue him . . ."

He suddenly felt the blanket wrap around him. The gun fighter looked over at Sephiroth, a surprised look on his face. "Hn?" Did Sephiroth just offer to share his blanket with him?

"Here."

"I don't understand . . ."

"I owe you . . . Besides . . . your shivering is getting quite annoying . . ." He sad coolly.

"Thank you." The two men sat next to each other in front of the fire sharing the blanket to keep from freezing. They tried to stay awake but sleep finally caught up to them. Sephiroth lied down and closed his eyes. Vincent curled up next to his warm body to keep warm. Soon they were both asleep.

****

"Oh no . . ." The brunette trembled.

'Why?'

"Not again!"

'Why did you save me?'

"Please!! Not again!!!"

'Why didn't you tell me!?'

She looked around. She knew that Sephiroth would appear in the dream again, like the previous times in the past. Then, she felt herself being pushed to the ground on her stomach. Surely enough, the silver haired warrior was there holding her down.

"Well? Did you tell him?" she struggled beneath him, but he held her tighter. "I asked you a question Ms. Lockhart!"

Her eyes shut tightly. "You're just a bad dream! I'm gonna wake up in the morning and you won't be there! You can't kill Cloud anyway! You're dead! I don't know how you survived last time, but this time, he finished the job!"

The ex-general burst into laughter. "Oh am I? I guess you have another message to give to Strife than. Tell him he has to do better than that if he truly wishes to kill me!"

"NO! YOU'RE DEAD! I WON'T TELL HIM ANYTHING!!!" Tifa screamed.

He narrowed his eye at her. "This is no dream, Ms. Lockhart. Trust me; this will all make sense to you in the end . . ."

"Bull shit!"

"Aw . . . Not again!" The blonde shook her awake for the third time.

She woke up and looked up at him. "He's alive!"

"Who, Sephiroth again?"

"Yes!"

He shook his head. "It was a dream Tifa! I killed him again! I'm positive this time, trust me! He's gone! He won't bother you anymore! Just relax and go back to bed!"

"But—" She tried to complain, but then she decided it was better if she just kept quite for the time being. "Ok . . ." She rolled over and went back to sleep.

Cloud sighed. He knew it6 was just a dream but for some reason he still worried. What if Sephiroth couldn't die? How would he ever be able to protect her then?

****

That night Vincent had a dream. He was lying next to Sephiroth, both naked. Their hands wondered all over each other's body. The raven haired man touched the silver haired one's soft muscular chest then nipped his neck.

Sephiroth groaned slightly then slid his hand dangerously close to Vincent hardening groin. The gun fighter bucked his hips towards the other man's hand, begging to be touched.

Vincent hadn't had sex for so long. Hojo's daily rapes were the closes thing, but who'd want to fuck Hojo?

He started sucking and nibbling the ex-general's neck, lovingly. He really needed him. The silver haired man started slowly stroking his cock winning some loud moans from the dark haired one.

He started bucking his hips madly against Sephiroth's hand; he was so desperate. "Please . . ."

"Please what?" He smirked bringing his lips up to his ear. "Tell me what you want Valentine."

"Just fuck me." He bucked his hips into Sephiroth's.

He smirked and started grinding both of their hips together.

"Oh gods . . ." Vincent closed his eyes and moaned as Sephiroth pulled him against him and kissed him deeply.

****

Sephiroth opened his eyes slowly, hearing noises from the man next to him. Vincent was moaning and whimpering slightly in his sleep. "Nightmares?"

Then, he felt his bulging penis buck against his naked erection. "Nope, not a nightmare." He laughed to himself. "He's probably dreaming about one of those women he's always with. Either that flat-chested ninja or that slut Lockhart.

He heard Vincent moan again in his sleep and he started to buck his hips against Sephiroth's wildly. The ex-general groaned slightly and became erect. He suddenly put both his hands on either side of Vincent's hips.

"Oh . . . Please fuck me . . ." He heard him mumble.

The silver haired man glanced down; both of their straining cocks were pressing against each other. He felt the heat rush to his face as he blushed. "Shit . . ." Sephiroth quickly pulled away and got up, blushing. He walked over to his dry clothes and threw them on. "I guess I should head to the waterfall . . . I have a feeling that something really important is there."

He walked back over to Vincent and tucked the blanket around him. He smiled in his sleep. The ex-general laughed slightly than started off towards the waterfall. On his way he began to wonder who Vincent was dreaming of. "It really isn't often for a male to say 'fuck me' to a female . . ." He shrugged and disappeared into the woods.

--Yokai Hansha (When I found the skull in the woods, the first thing I did was call the police. But then I got curious about it. I picked it up, and started wondering who this person was, and why he had deer horns.)
