Reflections in the Heart

Disclaimer: I don't own FF9, I own my muses and my sword, that's it peoples.
A/N: Has anyone else noticed that these all seem to be depressing in some way shape or form? Which, for me is really, really odd…I blame my history teacher and my various beta readers.
Warnings: Same as the first chapter.
Tearful Reflections (Freya)
The sorrow in his eyes mirrors my own.
It is different yes, but it's still there. A pain just as deep and as dark as the ocean hiding itself in the eyes of this cheerful boy.
How does he do it? How can he get up every morning with this pain and laugh and smile at the world like he does? How can he continue on cheerfully when his heart has be clove in two?
He's strong, much stronger than I could ever be. It hurts, it hurts so much. Sometimes I find myself unable to breathe because of the tearing at my heart. It's never ending, ceaselessly ripping me up inside.
At least there's hope for me, because there's a chance that my dear Sir Fratley is still alive somewhere. Judging from the haunted look in his eyes Zidane has no such hope. It tells me that whoever it was abandoned him, leaving him to face this cold world alone.
I shall learn from his strength, sharing his pain when it grows too much because out of all of us only I truly understand what he's going through. And maybe someday I too can learn to face the world with a cheerful expression on my face.
If I ever find out who caused that look in Zidane's eyes I swear I shall rip his or her heart out with my bare hands.

BloodyChaos: "…One of my Beta-readers said it was melted marshmallow sweet fluff, but then again she's really weird…Not like I can talk though. And I will be writing a separate fic for this as soon as I have free time. Thanks for reading, please review and tell me what you think."
