shockwavexpulsar Jumping onto his desk, she sat next to his stack of papers and sprawled out on top of them so that he couldn't get to them without first paying her attention. [M!A] |
“…What the hell are you doing? Get off my desk!”
Really, who decided memory-draining summons were a good idea.
|
shockwavexpulsar She hadn't seen him cry before, never even fathomed the idea of if. Not that he was emotionless, but that he was too stubborn to give in to his emotions. Feeling the moisture on her shoulder, she pulled back a bit to kiss his forehead. "It's okay." |
He continued to sob into her shoulder, unable to speak. We saved the world; is this the price that we pay to have done so? To be broken and miserable for the remainder of our days?
Why?
|
shockwavexpulsar "Your big sis is here." She wasn't Ellone and never would be, but the two shared that same bond, in their own way. And as Squall fell apart before her, she did her best to keep him standing. Her arms wrapped around him, hand pushing into his hair. |
“I’m… glad that you’re alive.” Now his body responded, hugging her back tightly. “I was worried… I thought… everyone was…” His face felt wet- was he crying? When was the last time he’d…
He couldn’t remember.
|
shockwavexpulsar "Even if your perception is being altered, mine isn't! Listen to me, Squall. I'm real. I'm here!" She reached out to touch his face. "Calm down." Her other hand gripped his clothing, tugging him closer. "I'll take care of you." |
He could feel her hand on his face, the pull of the fabric of his clothes drawing him nearer to her. “Quistis…” What does it matter? If she’s dead, she’s still here, taking care of me, and if she’s alive… “I…” His head dropped, and his resistance left him.
|
shockwavexpulsar "Touch me, Squall. Feel that I'm real if you don't believe me." She held her hand out to him. He was acting very strange. Was it because of her? Was he that scared she'd die? |
“I can’t even trust that! I don’t know what’s true. Someone has been altering my perception. Even if I think that you’re real, how can I know for sure?” The magic seemed to have wore off, but even so… how can I trust that to be true?
|
shockwavexpulsar "No, I was really beaten. That was no illusion, but my healing process was due to some kind of unknown magic." |
“Show me you’re real. I can’t… I’m still not…” If that could happen to me… what if she’s in my head, torturing me?
|
shockwavexpulsar "I'm fine now. You've done a good job." |
“Fine?! I just found you bleeding out in a dirty alleyway. You’re… not dead, are you? Is this just more of that feeling from earlier? That illusion that Garden was destroyed?”
 |
firaequis "Garden? What the hell are you talking about? Garden is fine. Everyone is fine. Why are you looking like you bombed the place yourself?" |
“It’s gone Seifer. I watched it.”
