"...Why?"
It was just a simple question, but enough to make Sephiroth pause as he walked away.
Whispered, barely audible, but loud enough for his mako enhanced senses to pick up.
"Even now, after all that has happened..."
Sephiroth sighed gently. In a way, he almost wished things had turned out differently, but they didn't.
"Why can't I hate you? Why do I still care?"
Sephiroth folded his arms, and replied,"You never said you cared..."
A soft laugh echoed throughout the room.
"Thats because, you always hate."
He looked at Sephiroth with a mixture of anguish and longing, before his eyes slid shut, a single tear finding its way down his cheek, before falling onto the stone floor.
"I never hated..." he muttered quietly, pausing to turn his head and look at Cloud before murmuring, "I always cared. I thought it was you that hated."
A pained smile graced his face, before he turned away and left, his footsteps echoing on the stone floor...
A/N Just random cloud/sephiroth drabble. Very short. Came to me at 1am in a dream, and demanded to be written down. Read and Review if you can? Thanks.
