Dear Squall,
I
suppose it's a waste of time to ask you how things are going, your
life's all over television, after all.
So let me cut straight to
the point of this ridiculous letter. I'm not going to beg for your
mercy, but still, I hope that you can find it in yourself to forgive
me, if possible even forget me. Forget all about me, forget what we
ever might have had together, forget all the things I ever did to
you.
But before you do that though, know that I'm sorry. I
probably should have told you before, but I love you and I'm sorry.
I
realize that this letter is laughable and what I'm asking of you even
more so, I've probably already cursed myself a thousand times by the
time you're reading this, but I still hope you'll give me what I ask
for here, it's the last I'll ever ask from you.
So forget about
me, forget about this shitty letter and have a great life.
With
love,
Seifer Almasy.
It was a week after he'd sent his
letter, an act that he now considered absolutely foolish, that
Seifer's doorbell rang, a most unusual occurrence. He answered the
door with some trepidation, only opening it all the way when he saw
who it was.
"I can't forget."
"I should have known."
They
hugged and stood in the doorway for at least five minutes, not
moving, holding each other tightly, making sure that this surreal
situation didn't just exist within their minds.
They went inside
then, never completely letting go, stumbling their way to Seifer's
bedroom, promising without words, as they wrapped their bodies around
each other, that they'd always remember.
