Sephiroth holds him tightly in his arms. Presses his lips to his and kisses him deeply. Strokes his fingers through Zack's hair

Zack says, "Mm... Seph I miss you"

Sephiroth says, "miss?"

Zack says, "Nothing... just love me like you used to"

Sephiroth says, "used? *looks confused*"

Sephiroth kisses his cheek

Zack says, "Don’t worry Seph"

Zack nuzzles at his neck... leaving tears there

Sephiroth looks at Zack

Sephiroth says, "what's wrong love?"

Zack says, "you’re gone...."

Sephiroth says, "I'm right here love"

Zack says, "You can’t even be real in my dreams as I was for you.. you’re just a representation... not the real thing...."

Sephiroth says, "hmm"

Sephiroth wipes Zack's tears away

Zack presses himself tightly against Sephiroth

Sephiroth holds Zack, cuddling him

Zack says, "Its so hard.. I have to be a leader for them..... to ... destroy you… when all I ever wanted was to be happy with you...."

Sephiroth strokes his hair

Sephiroth says, "you were happy with me though, right?"

Zack says, "Yes... very"

Sephiroth says, "doesn't that count then?"

Zack says, "But it hurts to know you won’t even be there for me.... when I’m dead again"

Sephiroth says, "....."

Zack says, "Should I look for someone to fill the void?"

Sephiroth says, "I don't know. I'm .. gone?"

Zack says, "Yes my dearest.. you are gone... you only live on inside my head"

Sephiroth says, "how could I be gone?"

Zack says, "You were part.... of something... created.. and destroyed so easily"

Sephiroth holds Zack tightly

Sephiroth says, "why??"

Zack says, "I don’t know.. it just used you while it couldn’t destroy.. it slept... No more silly questions... let me just hold you...."

Sephiroth says, "alright. hold me and never let go"

Zack says, "And try and be content with the fact... that I can pretend......"

Zack holds Sephiroth.. and cries weakly.. because even pretending does nothing to ease his pain

Sephiroth holds him, rubbing his shoulders from behind

Sephiroth says, "do you hurt more then I did when you died?"

Zack says, "I don’t know Seph"

Sephiroth holds him

Sephiroth says, "I don't want you to be alone"

Zack says, "I know you wouldn’t have wanted me to be, but you had no control over what happened"

Sephiroth kisses his cheek

Sephiroth says, "I know"

Sephiroth nuzzles his neck

Zack says, "At least... I got to hold you one last time"

Sephiroth says, "Held me in your arms"

Zack says, "whilst you faded away..."

Sephiroth says, "into nothing?"

Zack says, "Yes"

Sephiroth says, "but your memories?"

Zack says, "How can I lead them.. when I can’t even lead myself? I have you.. and the good times we had together in my memories"

Sephiroth smiles

Sephiroth says, "you have something"

Zack says, "Yes… I’m going to try and find another Seph..... "

Sephiroth says, "love, what will happen .. if you don't lead them?"

Zack says, "They will all die....."

Sephiroth says, "everyone?"

Zack says, "I have to help them.. even though... Rufus is helpless"

Sephiroth says, "really? is he?"

Zack says, "Well... I’m not sure. He'd be cute if he wasn’t missing an eye"

Sephiroth chuckles

Zack says, "But he is cold and heartless"

Sephiroth says, "and yet Cloud can love Reno who's got no eyes. yes, there is that"

Zack says, "Cloud and Reno... are adorable together... they are pulling each other along"

Sephiroth smiles

Sephiroth says, "what will happen if everyone dies?"

Zack says, "and Cloud.. he's gonna be okay now..... I fixed it so he could eat... Ah... if everyone dies... this world.... becomes nothing. I never understood evil... yeah... they’re gonna rule.... but who wants to rule a barren world"

Sephiroth says, "what world?"

there is laughter

Zack frowns

Sephiroth vanishes

Zack says, "Now I know I’m not purposely dreaming that... No....."

Zack makes a small cry

Sephiroth says, "heh heh, my poor dear Zack, what ever am I going to do with you?"

Sephiroth puts his arms around him from behind

Zack struggles

Sephiroth says, "you do not seem to understand at all"

Zack says, "Understand what?"

Sephiroth says, "What I'm going to do"

Sephiroth keeps him in his arms

Zack says, "And what is that?"

Sephiroth turns him around and grins at him

Sephiroth says, "think about it .... "

Zack says, "About what?"

Sephiroth says, "Or did even they forget the long ago reasons?"

Zack says, "Stupid cryptic demon... And what do I have to do with any of this?"

Sephiroth says, "you're here"

Zack says, "Would you mind taking your paws off of me....."

Sephiroth says, "why?"

Zack says, "Light and dark do not mix....."

Sephiroth chuckles

Sephiroth says, "and yet ......"

Zack says, "and yet?"

Sephiroth suddenly the scene twists around to one night with them lying in bed long ago. Zack laying his head on Sephiroth's chest

Zack says, "That was before you were... dark"

Sephiroth says, "before?"

Zack says, "Or the space in-between... hey...."

Sephiroth chuckles

Zack says, "Like an Oreo!"

Sephiroth says, "you are a fool"

Sephiroth holds him in the bed

Zack says, "You were dark.. Masamune goes bye bye.. there’s the creme filling.... then you’re dark again"

Sephiroth says, "interesting thoughts .. but so wrong. remember? I was always dark ...."

Zack says, "You loved during that time... you weren’t dark at all. The dark does not love. Imagine... the dark in love with the light......"

Sephiroth says, "you were the heart"

Zack says, "Hmm?"

Sephiroth says, "remember?"

Zack says, "I don’t quite get it"

Sephiroth says, "the love was all because of you"

Zack says, "And why was I loved?"

Sephiroth shrugs

Zack says, "You let your little facsimile get out of hand?"

Sephiroth says, "well, that's why I destroyed it"

Zack grumbles

Zack says, "Do you mind?"

Sephiroth says, "mind?"

Zack says, "you are still touching me...."

Sephiroth says, "heh, don't like being touched now Zack?"

Zack says, "Not by you"

Sephiroth chuckles some more. strokes his fingers through Zack's hair

Zack says, "Stop..."

Zack growls and pushes Sephiroth away

Sephiroth pulls him back

Zack says, "Let go damn it! I know.. I'll just wake up...."

Sephiroth says, "now, why'd I want to do that?"

Sephiroth grins

Sephiroth says, "not yet"

Zack says, "You are making a mockery of all I ever had with him"

Sephiroth says, "hmm"

Sephiroth pins Zack under him

Zack says, "Now I think I know how Cloud felt"

Sephiroth says, "oh really?"

Zack kicks at Sephiroth

Zack says, "Get Offa me!"

Sephiroth says, "no, I don't want to"

Zack says, "Great... I’m gonna get screwed by a demon... why didn’t they brief me on this??"

Sephiroth says, "demon .. hmmm, why do you call me that?"

Zack says, "That’s what you are"

Sephiroth chuckles

Sephiroth says, "one winged angel. ....."

Zack says, "At least this is just a dream"

Sephiroth says, "but, I'm really here"

Zack says, "You aren’t violating my real body"

Sephiroth proceeds to do a few things to Zack that would have had him moan a few years back

Sephiroth says, "your soul is more ....."

Zack grits his teeth

Zack says, "Damn it Sephiroth... let me go!"

Sephiroth says, "why?"

Sephiroth does some more of that

Zack grits his teeth again... trying not to give Sephiroth what he obviously wants

Sephiroth does a few other things that feel very good

Zack says, "mmmph....."

Sephiroth says, "you're soul ....."

Zack says, "never..... you aren’t going to break me... I’m not a poor kid like Cloud"

Sephiroth says, "sure .... heh heh"

Zack struggles

Zack says, "never...."

Sephiroth keeps him pinned

Sephiroth says, "you're mine"

Sephiroth grins

Zack says, "no......"

Sephiroth says, "any way, it's not the world I want really ...."

Zack says, "then what is it?"

Sephiroth grins

Sephiroth says, "I'll be able to take over once I get a whole lot more in my collection"

Zack says, "Then what?"

Sephiroth taps Zack's nose

Sephiroth says, "you know already"

Zack says, "no I don’t... say it"

Sephiroth kisses him

Sephiroth says, "What will I be when I get all those souls?"

Zack says, "A god...."

Sephiroth says, "right"

Zack forces himself not to return the kiss

Sephiroth says, "immortal. you will not be able to destroy me"

Zack says, "no....."

Sephiroth says, "heh"

Zack says, "not mine.... not me... not ever....."

Sephiroth says, "hmm? not your what?"

Zack says, "my soul... will never be yours"

Zack hisses

Sephiroth says, "It already is ....."

Zack says, "Screw you it is... my soul is mine...."

Sephiroth chuckles

Sephiroth says, "poor Zack, you don't remember do you?"

Zack says, "Don’t remember what?"

Sephiroth strokes his fingers through Zack's hair

Zack says, "I gave my heart and soul to him... not you"

Sephiroth chuckles again

Sephiroth says, "you seem to be forgetting something though"

Zack growls

Zack says, "It’s not a technicality.. you are NOT the one I gave myself to"

Sephiroth says, "everything of 'his' belongs to me"

Zack says, "I do NOT belong to you"

Sephiroth strokes his cheek

Sephiroth says, "yes you do. An unexpected benefit of being asleep for a while"

Zack says, "No! And who else do you own?"

Sephiroth says, "think about that one a second. all you poor people ... pledging your souls to me .... "

Sephiroth chuckles

Zack says, "You leave that kid alone! he's been through enough of your shit already"

Sephiroth says, "I know he has"

Sephiroth traces his fingers down Zack's side

Zack says, "Stop that!"

Sephiroth chuckles

the dream changes to Zack standing alone in the castle from the mindscape. there is a dead body of Sephiroth laying on the ground though

Zack says, "least you aren’t fondling me now"

Zack blanches. kneels down and examines the body

Zack says, "Seph.... my Seph...."
