For ColdandLonleyOne, who wanted less angst.
1)Devotion
Those romantics could yap all they wanted about what they thought devotion was, beacuse Vincent knew that real devotion was holding your spouse's hair back as they tried to heave out both sets of thier intestines after having one too many dead goats at Reno and Cloud's wedding, after threating everyone there, including the grooms, that if this got out he would personaly rip thier heads off and put them all in a row in their front yard, yeah that was devotion and Vincent was going to tell Cid that, as soon as he mangaed to get that last bit of intestine out of his throat and maybe take a shower, because he wasn't sure what he did after that twelfth dead goat but what ever it was it involved blue florecent paint and chickens and smelled horrible; see this was true devotion.
6)Star
Vincent's world was cold and black and empty of all but his demons and his sins until that day, that day when a star fell upon him and man with bright blue eyes that allways seemed to be on the future became the center of Vincents bleak little world, just as Luceria had once been his light, like the moon, a cold shining light that captured his mind and heart and held firm, only, he thought, this time was going to be diffrent because when Cid's light fell on him it felt like bieng out in the sun on a summers day, like he was envoloped in a warmth that would never let him go.
7)Confusion
If there was one thing Cid had learned about Vincent it was that more you confused the little shit the cuter he got, even if no one else though a six foot undead gunslinger covereed in blood was anything but terrifying.
8)Fear
It was at the Gold Saucer that they found out the horrible awlful truth about Vincent Valentine: he was absolutley terified of clowns, and the had the bullet holes in the butt of Cid's costume as proof.
10)Bonds
Tonight, as Cid finds himself looking into Vincents sparkiling crimson eyes he thinks on the way's in which he is bound to Vincent, through duty and honor, love and devotion and desire, and curently, his favorite, black leather.
11)Technology
Vincent Valentine had always abhored technology, mabey it was the way he was raised, with his Wutian mother, still stuck in the old country of before the war, and his swordsmith father, who swore vehemilnty that the old ways were best, but still, preconcived predjudes aside, did one really need a phone with more gadgets than any sane human would want let alone use, that could fit up a mouse's ass? (,and did it have to be in pink?!)
19)Heaven
As a child Cid's Mama was fond of telling him that he would go to Hell if he didn't change his ways; Cid doesn't worry though, because he has found his own heaven here with Vincent and he doesn't need his Mama's god to give it to him.
20)Hell (Heaven Cont.)
When Cid follows Vincent into the grave it is a surprise to see that his mother was wrong: there is a Heaven for lecherous, obscene, profane, homosexual pioliots that where grease stained flight suits to church; the only problem is that his baby is missing and you can't have heaven without Vincent, so Cid packs his bags, grabs his smokes and his spear, throws down his halo and flies off to hell to find his angsty little bat.
21)Sun
Vincent thinks that Cid is like the sun, shinning and bright and captivating every who felt his light upon them, drawingh them into the tender embrace of his warm glowing personality, (his demons think he has been hit in the head one too many times).
22)Moon (Sun Cont.)
Cid thinks that Vincent is like the moon: a pale, stunning, eathral beauty that drew you in and held you enthralled as it waxed and wained and never showed you it's true face, and that mystery, that intruige, more than his looks, more than anything kept him watching him, holding him like the moons light until there was nothing in his mind but Vincent, and all the thing she revealed and all the many more things he hid.
24)Hair
Cid loves the way Vincent's hair falls down his pale back and carreses the scars that highlight his porcilean skin, but the thing that Cid loves the most about Vincent's hair is the fact that it only grows on his head and no where else, a fact that makes tasting Vincent's body, his whole body, all the more fun for Cid.
25) Ring
Vincent Valintine, host to demons and weapons, and undead gunslinger who had faced down monsters that made most men shudder in fear, found himself overcome with terror at the sight of the black ring of filth that Cid had left behind in the bath tub at the golder saucer, and he was acctually wimpering at the thought of what his beloved Cidney Highwind had done to the rest of the hotel room.
26) Hero
It made Cid laugh, the color of red Vincent managed to turn, when a starry eyed little boy latched himself to Vincent's cape and firmly declared that Vincent was his hero and he was never letting go.
