Ch 11
99
(where you are)
I lean on Zell's shoulder for support. This trip to Trabia will be the
last time I ever leave Garden. But before I die, I have to let her go.
Garden gave her to me. But she's alive and she ants to be free.
(I'll miss you Squall.)
I'll miss you too Shiva.
(I'll always remember you.)
Thank you for everything. I-
(No, thank you. I never thought I'd be free again. I never thought I'd
meet a man of your integrity. Any other would have passed me on.)
How long since you've been free?
(Centuries. Thank you for bringing me home.)
I don't know how to say goodbye.
(Then don't. You truly are an honorable man. He'll be waiting for you.
I know.)
Thank you.
I stepped away from Zell's supporting arm. Leaning my head back I closed
my eyes, and let her go.
My flesh turned icy, then scorching. I could feel her pulling free of my
mind, like untangling the roots of a tree. My world spun and my vision
grayed. I fell on Zell's arm before I could hit the ground.
I don't know how Zell managed to half carry me. He's 100 now, and if I
live two more months, I will be too.
I don't think I have that much time. I don't think I'll make it to 100.
Letting Shiva go took the last of my strength.
I closed my eyes and leaned back in the Ragraok. Lillith had flown us
here. Now, sitting tired and weary, I'm dreaming.
I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between 10 and 20
He was staring at me, the arrogant bastard! I glared at him. If only he
knew how beautiful I thought he was. Fuck! Why do I keep thinking about
stuff like that? Still, I wish I knew what it was like to kiss him.
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are.
I'm 22 for a moment
And he feels better than ever
I held Seifer as he slept. Hours before he had given me his final
submission. No one can contend now that he belongs to me, and that I
belong to him. He truly is my soul mate. My silver cord leads to his
heart.
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
Things will be better now. My angel is back. The battle is over and we're ready for whatever comes next.
15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 50, there's never a wish better than this When you've only got 100 years to live
I opened my eyes briefly. Zell was resting as well. He sat across from me. His eyes too, were closed.
I'm 33 for a moment Still the man but you see I'm of age. A kid on the way A family on my mind
I stood in the doorway and watched Lillith sleep. She's so small. Seifer came up behind me. Wrapping his arms around me, he kissed my temple.
"I love you." He whispered.
I turned and kissed his soft lips. Then, tracing the outline of his lips with my fingers, I smiled.
"You make me complete." I whispered in response. We stood in the doorway watching our daughter sleep.
I'm 45 for a moment The sea is high and I'm heading into a crisis, Chasing the years of my life
Amon, he haunts my thoughts. He wants Seifer to be part of his life. Seifer want nothing to do with the man. I'm torn on the subject.
It brings back bad memories for Seifer. He spends more than half an hour with Amon, he spends the rest of the day brooding. I just wish something would give.
15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose Yourself within a morning star
We landed at Garden. Zell and I went to our shared apartment. When Quisty died six months ago we moved in together. We share the bedroom; it's just easier that way. Plus, we're kinda dependent on each other.
"I need a nap." I told Zell.
"You and me both." He smiled.
He felt it too. I'm on my way back to Seifer.
Zell helped me into bed and I closed my eyes.
15 I'm alright with you 50, there's never a wish better thank this When you've only got 100 years to live
I've lived a wonderful life. I can pass on now. Seifer is waiting for me. He promised.
Half time goes by Suddenly you're wise Another blink of an eye 67 is gone The sun's getting high You're moving on
Where did the time go? My life... the years... when? I'm so tired.
I'm 99 for a moment Time for just another moment And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are
It's getting hard to breathe. Zell held my hand. My eyelids felt heavy, like they had weights on them. I'm dying.
15 there's still time for you 22 I feel her too 33 you're on your way Every day's a new day.
I walked out the door to the orphanage. The sun shone on my hair. I was young again. Walking down the narrow path to the beach seemed to take forever.
I opened my eyes one last time. Zell grinned at me.
"Tell Seifer I said hello."
"I will" I whispered.
15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to choose 50, there's never a wish, better than this When you've only got 100 years to live
My boots slid into the sand as I walked. I could see them. Rinoa, Selphie, Irvine, Quistis, and Seifer. He was there, just like he promised. I ran the rest of the way down the beach into Seifer's arms. His lips met mine in a fiery kiss.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too."
"Promised you I'd be here."
"I know, I believed it." I looked at my friends. We were all young again.
Irvine grinned and we all hugged. "Now we're just waiting foe Zell."
"He'll be here soon." I smiled at Quistis. I realized then, I wasn't dead, I was home
Zell's POV
I'm the lat one. Tonight, after Squall's funeral, I'll join them. I've fulfilled my promise I made to Seifer fifteen years ago. I watched over Squall for him.
It's the magic that's been keeping me alive. A Hi-potion every four hours is what keeps me going. I'm taking my last one now.
Lifting the vial to my lips I swallowed it in one gulp. This shit has always tasted nasty, so it came to no surprise that it still does.
I opened the bathroom door and stepped into my apartment. I glanced in the mirror. The old, tattooed man looking back at me didn't seem like myself. I'm old.
I picked up my jacket and walked to the front gate. I'm going to Squall's funeral. He'll be buried with Seifer at the Edea's orphanage. Well, it's not edea's anymore, but it is an orphanage again. The others are there.
A small, short, private ceremony. He wouldn't have wanted anything else. Just friends and family. There was no preacher. He'd just wanted people to say good bye on their own. I couldn't cry. There wasn't a point. I'll see them all soon enough.
The sun hid behind the clouds as I stepped up to say my goodbye.
"Well Squall, There's nothing I can think of to say. You were my best friend. And you're gone. But it doesn't matter, I'll see you soon." Into the hole I dropped two carnations. One for Squall, one for Seifer.
Lillith, her children, and grandchildren said their goodbyes. I stood and watched. I can feel my body going. I should take another potion. I won't. It's time for me to go.
Long after everyone had left, I stayed. Ellone will pick me up in an hour. By then it will be too late for even the magicks, and I'll be on my way home.
I don't know how I know, but we'll be there together. The salt breeze reminds me of my youth. They'll be there.
I closed my eyes. Not much time now.
"Dad?" I turned at looked at my daughter.
"I know." She helped me into the Ragnaok. We flew towards Garden.
"I've stopped taking them." I told her. "I'm going to die soon."
She nodded. Ellone knew about my struggle to stay alive. "Do you want to go to sleep?" She asked. She had tears in her eyes.
"Yeah." She helped me to my room and into bed.
"I'll miss you." I told her.
"I know"
I closed my eyes.
"Goodbye" I heard her whisper.
I ripped open the door of the orphanage and ran down to the beach.
"Took you long enough." Quistis threw her arms around me, her golden hair flying in the wind.
"I had to wait for Squall."
"I know." She kissed me, her tongue tracing the crease of my lips. I opened my mouth and plunged my tongue into her mouth. When I pulled away Selphie was grinning at me as she helped Irvine grill something or another. Squall and Seifer stood by the lighthouse holding each other and watching the sea.
We're all home now.
A/N I promised Kristy along time ago that the next Fic I wrote would be for her. She loved to read my Seifer x Squall yaois. She dies last September in a car accident. This story is for her.
Anyhow! On a lighter note! Thank you's for other people!
Devon Sunslinger. I love you hon. I'm glad you let me read things to you and run ideas past you. Hopemia: thanks for sticking htouhr the story, title change and all. Hter'e actually a story behind it... but it's boring so I'm not gonna tell...I dod go check out that fic, and I'm loving it so far. B.N. I'm glad you loved this so mucxh. I actually thinking of expanding on the idea and doing a story from each couple... maybe even each person. I'll do different ages for all of them so I can lay out whole other stories..... *gets evil idea* And any other peole who actually left reviews.. I love you!! *huggles* Lots of love.... Keep your eyes peeled for whatever may come next.
Oh yeah... I ge top turn this entire thing into tone of my college professors rather than doing a paper. I fear for the man's sanity after reading it. But that meant that this whole story will e edited eventually and I promise I'll post the fixed versions of chapters.
Until next time space cowboy......
Ps. I used Five for Fighting's One Hundred years as the song and inspiration for the title. The name Amon is from Witch Hunter Robin and if you haven't watched it you should!! Ther's proably a ton of radom things I've forgotten too so... cut me some slack.. I may be god, but I'm not the god of perfection. Jeeze!
