Undiscovered Light
~*Selphie*~
I pulled away from Irvine and blushed. I felt guilty for kissing him.
My guilt was washed away though as he moved close and kissed me. Irvine kissing me! Me, Selphie.
When he pulled away I blushed a deeper red. Seems like everyone's been blushing tonight.
"We'd better get out before Squall sees us." He grinned. "I think he'd like revenge for the teasing we gave them." His arm was still on my shoulder.
I was trying to make myself speak but for some reason I couldn't. Me, Selphie, unable to speak! That's a surprise.
So I simply smiled and he grinned back. We walked out of the balcony just in time to hear Rinoa asking, "Where's Irvine, Selphie and Quistis?"
"Here! ...Where's Quistis?" I asked them.
"Isn't she with you?" He asked and frowned.
"No, she was but when the Garden landed she disappeared, I think she went outside." I said. "But I stopped and figured she might be with you guys."
"You wanna go out? Maybe we'll find her." That was Squall talking to Rinoa.
"Irvy, let's go too!" I said to him.
He smiled his fabulous smile and said to me, "Fine."
"Hey, I've got an idea..." I said mysteriously.
"What?" He asked me. His expression told me he knew I was up to no good.
"Are you willing to risk... well, are you brave enough?"
"After battling a sorceress I think I can take on whatever you are about to suggest." He grinned.
"Fine. Let's go out from the balcony!" I said, gleefully.
"Balcony?!" He asked, shocked but still happy.
"Sure. We just climb down the railing and jump down the rest of the way. It'll be easy!" I said to him.
"Oh, alright. Whatever you want, Sefie." He said.
I ran to the balcony and pulled Irvine behind me.
"Okay, you first!" I said to him.
"What!? This was your idea. Ladies first." He replied.
"Oh, don't be such a scaredy-cat!" I said to him.
"Well, why won't you go first since you're so brave?" He asked.
"Because, I don't think you'll follow." I pouted.
He grinned. "You look awfully cute when you
do that."
"Irvy!" I said, exasperated.
"Really, I'll follow!" He said.
"Fine, but I'm taking your hate just for insurance." I said indicating the black cowboy hat on my head.
"Okay." He said brushing a hand through his hair. The stars sparkled above them and Irvine's eyes twinkled with delight.
I started to make my way down the railing. I jumped on a ledge and yelled, "Irvy! Come on down!"
"Coming, Sefie!" He yelled back.
I saw him start to make his way down the railing like I had done.
I smiled, remembering what had happened that day.
"Guys! Where are you?!" My voice echoed into the silence and I got no reply. I was trapped in time compression with no way out. Love, friendship, courage... I remembered these were what I needed.
"Sefie? Are you still here?" I heard someone call. IRVINE! My mind screamed, only one person called me Sefie.
"Irvy?" I whispered.
"Sefie, it's me... I think Zell and Quistis already left. Come on, we can make it back!" He told me, I could almost feel his encouraging arm on my shoulder even though I couldn't see him at all.
"But where...?" I whimpered. The darkness was beginning to frighten me though I tried not to let it show.
"The orphanage! Where you and I used to play all the time..." He said.
"But we hardly remember that place. That was when we were young... The GF's made me forget a lot." I said softly.
"It's okay..." He said comfortingly. "All we need is, friendship..." Friendship... of course we had that... "Courage..." Was I as brave as I thought I was? I hoped so... "Love."
Love... that one I was confident in. Maybe my love was strong enough for both of us to make it home...
I closed my eyes and wished to be back in the place I loved, with the person I loved...
I opened my eyes and found myself staring at Irvine, in the orphanage.
"Irvy!" I squealed and jumped on him.
"Sefie!" I had made it and just jumped on the ground. "Are you down yet?" Irvine was calling me.
"Yup!" I yelled back. "Get down here!"
"Fine, coming!" He jumped... and stumbled and landed on me.
"Ah!" I shrieked. "Irvy!"
"Woah, sorry!" He said apologetically. "I'm really sorry, Sefie." He stood up and pulled me to my feet.
"It's fine... I'm fine..." I said, giggling.
He sighed. "Good, I'm glad."
"I don't think I can say the same for your hat though…" I took it off my head, there were soil and grass stains from the fall. "Sorry, Irvy…"
"It's okay… As long as you're fine. I've got more hats anyway."
I smiled. "Glad you're not mad. I think I heard Quistis awhile ago. Come on!" I pulled him in the direction of the voice I heard.
"Where are you, Quisty?!" I kept calling.
Finally, I heard a reply.
"Here." I followed the sound of her voice.
"There you are!" I bounced towards her. "What were you doing?"
"Just... thinking." She said distractedly.
"Well come on!" I pulled her and Irvine back to the Front Gate.
I noticed Quistis staring up at the sky and glanced at Irvine.
He gave me a smile.
I smiled at him too... I gave him a smile... along with my love.
