"Do you trust me?

"Of course I do…"

Garnet kept tossing and turning in her bed, feeling trapped not being able to freely roll as she pleases. She woke up still feeling tired from her late night reading; however she felt the presence of an unwelcomed visitor in her bed. Trying to break free from its grips, its arms wrapped around her waistline and a mysterious entanglement on her legs. Shaking vigorously attempting to pry herself out, she turned towards the figure noticing a familiar hair style.

"Could it be?" she thought.

Her heart pumping faster and harder as she glanced at the figure. Carefully clearing the hair strands covering the face, revealing the one she had hoped for. Hearing his breath slowly inhaling and exhaling, her wish had come true. She wrapped her arms around his neck pulling his head closer to hers, she smiled. "Zidane…" Without question, she planted a peck on his cheek, carefully massaging his neck wincing in response.

"You always were sneaky…I should've known better…"

She settled herself comfortably with him, slowly closing her eyes as she gazed one last time at her love. Her day was completed with the one thing she had wanted for a long time. In a coincidental moment, Zidane laid a grin on his face as he readjusted himself to hold his beloved closer.

The eighth bell struck the morning of the once sleeping city of Alexandria, her people awakening from their slumber, beginning their morning bouts and walking among her streets. The sun's rays gleamed past Garnet's veils covering her bed as she winced several times before bringing herself up. Yawning and stretching her arms wide as can be slowly opening her eyes groggy as ever can be. She threw herself back on the bed in Zidane's direction hoping to awaken him, only to be greeted by her bed bouncing her back up. "Zidane…?" she glanced around her room wondering where he had gone.

"Was it a dream?"

She uncovered her sheets seeing small remnants of fur from his tail still lingering, sighing with disappointment she brought herself back up. As she began to bring herself off the bed she noted Four Valiant Hearts was left open. "Hmmm?" picking up the book, left on a page that caught her eye.

As she lay in bed, his eyes could not be taken off her, ill beyond her despair for the loss of their only child. "I shan't leave your side; you're all I have left!" he spoke softly. "I know you wouldn't…you mean the world to me…" Rosa spoke weeping for air. They tangled hands together gazing into one another's eyes; tear struck by each other's presence. Cyan had hoped longed to be beside his dear wife while Archades had begun its march to Figaro.

"But you must go…please protect…our fair kingdom…they need you..."

"I need you…"

"I need you…"

Garnet paused for a moment, slowly lowering the book from her face to be greeted by an upside down blonde head. Looking deep into his eyes, she felt hypnotized by his presence wondered why he was not beside her. Zidane carefully places his hands on the back of Garnet's head, slowly bringing her for a passionate kiss that left her breathless. Her eyes closed as she slowly lifted her hands, managing to place them on the back of his head and letting herself fall deeper in his kiss.

"Zidane…"

They slowly pulled away from each other; Zidane spiraled onto the bed landing right beside her. "Does that answer your question from yesterday?" he teased wrapping his right arm around her shoulder. Dumbfounded Garnet looked at him remembering what they had talked about yesterday. It was without a doubt Zidane was always up to his old tricks. Finding various ways to have her be taken by his charms, he won't give up until his goals are met. "I guess…it does?" she said with a hint of a monotonous tone.

"Aw come on Dagger, by now you knew I was going to be here for ya. Don't be so hard on yourself."

"…."

"Dagger?"

"Zidane, I don't how you could've made a better way to make me feel better."

"Huh?"

She lunged herself knocking him onto the bed with full force lying on top of him.

"Whoa where'd this come from now?" Zidane said fidgeting to get back up. "Mine!" she squealed as she wrapped her arms around him. He chuckled and held on to her. "I'm such a stud!" They laid together a little longer before it was time for Garnet's morning schedule.

"You won't be to long now would you?" Zidane asked as he stood on the window edge. "No…only for the morning, I've no plans after Sir Hennings visits the castle with his family. Other then that, where can I find you?" Garnet asked as she finished fixing her hair.

"Where we first met." They both smiled at each other as Zidane turned towards the outside of the window.

"Zidane…"

"Yes?"

"…..Thank you."

Zidane looked over his shoulders glancing at her; it was clear to her that his way of showing his love to her has never changed. It will always be the way Zidane has always shown it throughout their adventures together.

"There's no need to thank me, I always know what to do…"

He jumped out the window, she slowly walked towards the windows and glanced down towards where he had fallen, no where to be in site.

"HEY!" someone screamed followed by a familiar voice. "Oh snaps!" Seeing two soldiers chasing Zidane off castle grounds. Garnet couldn't help but laugh at the situation as he made his way towards the river. "Oh Zidane…you still mean the world to me…"

A/N: Ah, bit of a short chapter, sorry been busy I will admit…work has been beating me down and plus planning on the next anime convention coming up. I just finished up my remaking my Zidane costume so looking forward to that haha.

Anyways I will admit I was inspired by the famous upside down kiss scene from the first Spider Man movie and thought you know, that would be something Zidane would do to Garnet. So if you guessed right, pat yourself on the back! Also another perfect reference to an old Final Fantasy game. In Final Fantasy VI, you must play through Cyan's story to get his reference in this story. It's really sad I will admit! So play VI and see what I mean it's really great! Rosa if you haven't guessed, she's from Final Fantasy IV and is Cecil's lover. She is a playable character in the game and I must say she's really sincere in the game.
