AN: In the words of Seplhie...." WHOOOO-HOOO!!!" I'm ALIIIIVEEEE!!!!Just let me check my shoes, and we're all set!
My first ff8 fic would HAVE to be a tragedy/angst, wouldn't it?
Weird that html isn't working...
I wanted to be with you
The rain poured incessantly, turning the snowy ground beneath his feet to a muddy slush, the minister droned on incoherently in the backround, and the weeping of those around him saturated the air.
He felt numb, as if his insides had frozen solid.
Quistis was dead.
Even now, as the ceremony dragged on around him, and her casket was being lowered into the ground, the words sounded like a lie, an elaborate farce...Quistis was about to jump out of the casket, and everbody would be laughing at his surprise.
Only she wasn't jumping out...and no one was laughing...
This just wasn't right! This wasn't supposed to have happened on her birthday! Things like this never happened!
The sickness itself had been abrupt...she had never recovered from the trying battle with Ultimacia....but then...she had seemed perfectly okay only a week ago!!
Obviously she wasn't though, or she would still be here with me now!
With him...no...that was wrong...Rinoa was the one at his side...he had driven Quistis away.....she had wanted to be close to him...and maybe, if he had let her...she would still be alive now.
I was just too afraid...I was a coward...I didn't want you to hurt me again, like Elle had...don't you see??
He shook his head, fighting back tears, silent pleas could do Quistis, or himself, no good....not anymore...not ever.
He might have loved her, looking back....but he had been so terribly afraid to admit anything of what he felt...and then Rinoa....
" I'm sorry, Quisty....I'm sorry..." He whispered, shaking his head, " It wasn't supposed to end this way."
As the Minister ended his speech, and Quistis' friends and former comrades began to stray, he lingered...gaze fixed on the lonely mound of dirt, wishing futilely for her return....vainly hoping that she could hear his last apologies.
" Squall...it's time to leave..." Rinoa whispered suddenly, touching his shoulder.
He nodded numbly as she walked away, expecting him to follow her.
He lingered only a moment more, and whispered softly, the tears finally escaping his trembling grip, " I wanted to be with you."
End.
AN: Well, this was slightly strange...heheheh...I don't know why that reminded me of FFX's Tidus(in one of his many narrations)
guess I'm playing that too much?
Oh well, at any rate, I tried to make that as 'cannon' as possible, and I, myself, believe a Squall/Quistis relationship would have been very possible...;
Ciao.
