Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy 8...no, wait I do...no I don't.
Everyone knows it's from SquareSoft, so why do we even have to write this
stuff at all? Anyway, like I said: NOT MINE!!!! NOT MINE!!!! NOT
MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~Prologue~
She watched his silhouet. Standing at the end, his coat flapping around his body, because of the strong wind. As she looked at him a feeling of longing took hold of her. In her hand she held a note. A note for him. She looked at it and stuffed it in her pocket, wiping the tears from her eyes. The wind blew colder and she went inside. On a table there lay two bracelets.
'I should'nt.' She thought.
But as she glanced out the window again, looking at his sad frame, she knew that this was the only thing she could do to make him see. One of the bracelets was stuffed in her pocket. There she felt the note again. Taking it from her pocket she tore it up, holding the pieces tightly in her hand. Tenderly she took up the other bracelet. She held it close to her face, giving it a light kiss.
'Seal us.' She thought.
She walked outside again. He was still there, gazing out over the sea. It made her so sad inside to see him like this. He looked broken, alone. But he would never admit this.
'Tomorrow, I will be gone. You'll never know...why I left. If I go, I might never see you again...no...I will be back.'
Slowly she loosened her hand and the wind caught the little shreds of paper. She watched them fly away into the dark night sky. Then she heard him sigh.
Walking over to him, all feelings of doubt disappeared. She put her hand on his shoulder, comforting him.
"I miss Balamb." He said.
'His voice, so strong, yet so weak.' "Yes. Me too." She answered him.
He seemed to need her to say this, because he sighed deeply: "Will you both stay with me? Always? I...I can't be alone. I need my friends."
He was making her promise she wouldn't leave...but she couldn't tell him so. Knowing that tomorrow...
"Yes. Friends." She said, turning away, letting her hand slip off his shoulder. But her words seemed to have encouraged him, because he was smiling now.
"Yeah, that's all I ned. Friends, like we always have been."
She looked at him, his face alight with happiness. Taking the bracelet she held in her hand, she tied it to his wrist. He gave it a curious glance.
"Friendship." She said, though her mind said differently. Quickly she stood on her toes and gave him a peck on his cheek.
He whispered her name, taken by surprise. But as he looked at her he suddenly felt something he had not felt before, at least not for her. Love. Without thinking he bent down and kissed her. Long and deep. His hand subconciencely travveled down to his own pocket, taking out a box he had carried with him for such a long time. He had once meant this for the ravenhaired angel, but now he dropped to his knee and offered the box to the girl before him.
"Marry me." He simply said.
She smiled. 'This is what I wanted.' And without answering she put her arms around him. He got up and pulled her close against his body. She smiled and snuggled up closer to him. She took his wrist and pointed at the bracelet.
"Forever bound together." She said.
And he merely smiled dreamily at her. Nodding his head. Feeling he was the hapiest man alive.
