Reflections in the Heart

Disclaimer: I don't own FF9, I own my muses and my sword, that's it peoples.

A/N: It's the start of a new semester…which means I need to get to work on the side-fic for this and Diamond Heart…and everything else I haven't updated . Which means not only do I have a lot to do but I have no time to do it…sighs Anyways I'm looking for a Beta-Reader for the side-fic, anyone want to apply?

And yes I do know that this chapter was supposed to be Garnet...But I wanted to do Steiner first.

Deep Reflections(Steiner)

I should feel angry.

The Princess fell in love with him, he who has no heart. I told her time and time again, he's a heartless rogue who'd rather slit his own throat than feel the slightest romantic feelings towards her. She just looked at me and smiled, saying softly that she couldn't help but fall in love with him, after all it was expected of a princess to fall in love with her hero.

She does not understand, she is blind to everything but her love for him. She cannot see the pain in his eyes, the sorrow that hides behind his smile. They are the exact same age, yet she is naïve and innocent whereas Zidane knows all to well the horrors of the world.

She believes that her life is like a fairytale simply because she is a princess, that Zidane will simply fall in love with her because that's how fairytales go. I'm seriously considering leaving her alone with Quina; I've seen the looks the cook gives her when she thinks my back is turned.

I just wish she'd understand this is not a fairytale this is real life and loving him will only lead to sorrow. It will cause her a pain greater than anything else, for the one Zidane truly loves is…Kuja our enemy.

And some people think I don't pay attention.

BloodyChaos: "Well…that was different. I usually portray Steiner as a clueless blonde…"

Zach: "…but you're the clueless blonde."
