Sephiroth gets out of the bed. picks up his Masamune. sits back down on the edge and grabs a rag

Zack sighs

Sephiroth starts to clean the blood off of it. after he's done, the rag is covered in blood. sets the Masamune back down and looks at the rag

Zack watches Sephiroth

Sephiroth sets the rag down on the table

Zack says, "How many?"

Sephiroth looks back at Zack

Sephiroth says, "how many what?"

Zack says, "Lives?"

Sephiroth blinks

Sephiroth says, "what do you mean?"

Zack says, "The blood"

Sephiroth says, "oh, just one. before I came and got you"

Zack says, "Oh... Dyne"

Sephiroth says, "yes"

Sephiroth leans over and kisses him

Zack says, "he had a little girl"

Sephiroth says, "I told him, it was unfortunate that I did not have my Masamune with me when I attacked his home town for the empire. because then he'd be able to see his wife again"

Sephiroth caresses Zack's cheek gently

Zack says, "True... but Marlene?"

Sephiroth shrugs his shoulders

Sephiroth says, "what about her?"

Zack says, "She's alone"

Sephiroth says, "hmm, and how does that make you feel?"

Zack says, "Bad... she's just a kid"

Sephiroth kisses him softly. moves his hands down Zack's sides

Zack says, "Don’t you feel any pity?"

Sephiroth says, "pity?"

Zack sighs

Sephiroth kisses him again

Zack says, "Perhaps its time to only think about myself...."

Sephiroth lays Zack out on the bed

Sephiroth says, "yourself? heh heh, why?"

Zack says, "I think about Cloud and all of the others I've watched happiness... more often than about my own happiness"

Sephiroth says, "don't you like being happy?"

Zack says, "I suppose its part of my purity and innocence thing.. always putting others ahead of myself. I like it.... but rarely have time to stop and think... hey... what about me?"

Sephiroth says, "ah"

Sephiroth rubs his sides lovingly and kisses him with passion. strokes his hair gently

Zack says, "Seph... "

Sephiroth says, "yes?"

Zack says, "The way you touch me...."

Sephiroth listens, looking into his eyes

Zack says, "Seph... you love me.... don’t you?"

Sephiroth gets that odd look again, breathing heavily

Sephiroth says, "......"

Sephiroth leans his head on Zack's chest

Zack says, "You’re scared?"

Sephiroth says, "scared ....."

Zack says, "You start breathing heavy when I mention it... that’s a sign of fear"

Sephiroth keeps his head on Zack's chest. holds him tightly, closing his eyes

Zack says, "Why do you always do that..... "

Sephiroth says, "what?"

Zack says, "sniffle and squeeze me to death when I bring up love?"

Sephiroth keeps his head on Zack's chest

Sephiroth says, ".....l...o.....v......e......"

Sephiroth sniffles and holds Zack

Zack says, "You are acting like a child Seph...."

Sephiroth says, "a child?"

Zack says, "The way you are sniffly and glued to me. You are afraid"

Sephiroth says, "of?"

Zack says, "love"

Zack taps Sephiroth on the nose

Sephiroth looks up at Zack

Sephiroth says, "why?"

Zack says, "hmm?"

Sephiroth says, "why ... love?"

Zack says, "You look so confused... it’s cute"

Sephiroth chuckles

Sephiroth says, "well, at least I'm cute. why am I afraid?"

Zack says, "You exhibit the traits"

Sephiroth says, "I mean, why? Why could I be?"

Zack says, "No clue"

Sephiroth kisses Zack's right nipple. sighs deeply. keeps his head on Zack's chest

Sephiroth says, "what now?"

Zack pulls Seph close.... and holds him there

Sephiroth closes his eyes as he rests on Zack, holding him

Sephiroth says, "...I .... l… o… v.... e... y....o... u...."

Zack says, "I love you too Seph"

Sephiroth snuggles up in his arms

Zack says, "Cute Seph... do you sleep?"

Sephiroth says, "sleep? Zack, ... we have to go back to the city .... "

Zack says, "Why?"

Sephiroth says, "to finish"

Sephiroth kisses Zack's chest softly

Sephiroth says, "Zack … is what I feel, love? I thought I had .. destroyed it"

Zack says, "I don’t know Seph... you gotta decide that one for yourself....."

Sephiroth snuggles against him some more

Sephiroth says, "you are warm"

Zack says, "If I was dead I wouldn’t be"

Sephiroth says, "you were dead. now you are alive again"

Zack says, "My death really bothered you "

Sephiroth says, "yes ...."

Sephiroth kisses his chest softly

Zack says, "Why then?"

Sephiroth says, "why what?"

Zack says, "Why did it upset you so?"

Sephiroth says, "I didn't remember myself .. I was asleep, remember"

Zack says, "Ah.... and if I were to die now?"

Sephiroth frowns

Sephiroth says, "I'd have to bring you back"

Zack says, "Why?"

Sephiroth says, "I .. don't know .. I just ..."

Sephiroth kisses his chest and sniffles

Zack says, "Poor Seph"

Sephiroth sniffles again

Sephiroth says, "Zack .. Zack ... Zack ....."

Sephiroth breathes

Zack says, "Hmm"

Sephiroth sniffles

Sephiroth says, "what will they do to me you think?"

Zack says, "You want to go back and be tried?"

Sephiroth says, "huh??"

Zack says, "Wait a sec Seph... what are you talking about?"

Sephiroth says, "the gods ... what do you think they will do to me?"

Zack says, "I don’t know"

Sephiroth says, "none at all?"

Zack says, "They are powerful... They may choose to destroy you outright.... if they can do that.... "

Sephiroth says, "they tried before. they banished me the first time. then all of them got together ... and tried to destroy me ...."

Zack says, "Why don’t you just behave....?"

Sephiroth says, "It's too late"

Zack says, "What am I going to do Seph..... "

Sephiroth says, "don't know, .. do ?"

Zack says, "Well... I’m a traitor as well"

Sephiroth says, "hmm. I was not alone ...... I was not the only one, just I got it the worst .... not the only on banished. a few of my friends joined me ...."

Zack says, "I think that every angel should spend some time on earth... so they can learn"

Sephiroth says, "to learn?"

Zack says, "To learn emotions. They wouldn’t feel so empty...."

Sephiroth says, "I don't think the gods would like that"

Zack says, "Why not. Do they really want their minions to be miserable?"

Sephiroth says, "they want them to be controllable"

Sephiroth snuggles up with Zack, sighing

Zack says, "I can see why you would want to go up against them.... but why destroy the world?"

Sephiroth says, "why not?"

Zack says, "It’s a nice place Seph... I came from this world... you want to destroy something that made me?"

Sephiroth sighs

Sephiroth says, "I need souls"

Zack says, "But why?"

Sephiroth says, "to become a god"

Zack says, "Why?"

Sephiroth says, "why not? if I'm a god, I can't be destroyed"

Zack says, "But you already cant.... you are strong"

Sephiroth says, "I know that"

Sephiroth smiles

Sephiroth says, "but, I'm mortal right now"

Zack says, "Yes... so am I"

Sephiroth kisses his nipples softly

Zack says, "we are mortal together"

Sephiroth says, "hmm, sounds good really"

Zack says, "Why don’t we just settle down.... and be the way we were?"

Sephiroth says, "hmmm"

Sephiroth snuggles up with Zack. closes his eyes

Zack says, "We can go find some nice quiet place to live... together...."

Sephiroth says, "where would that be?"

Zack says, "No clue. Some deserted place... where the Empire hasn’t soiled"

Sephiroth says, "but .. THEY will still find us"

Zack says, "Yes... but we can be at peace for a time"

Sephiroth says, "and then?"

Zack says, "Then ..... "

Sephiroth kisses his chest

Zack says, "Who knows"

Sephiroth rubs his head against his chest"

Zack says, "No more killing... just you and me... to finish what Cloud ended....."

Sephiroth nuzzles his chest

Sephiroth says, "Killing .... makes me ... happy ....."

Zack says, "And I don’t?"

Sephiroth says, "you make me happy"

Zack says, "Then just stay and be happy with me"

Sephiroth lays next to him and slips his arms around Zack

Zack says, "I just want you to be with me Seph...."

Sephiroth says, "I'm here"

Zack says, "Stay then... no more killing...."

Sephiroth frowns

Sephiroth says, "but, I like killing. it makes me feel ... good ...."

Zack says, "Don’t I make you feel good?"

Sephiroth says, "yes, you do. you always make me feel good"

Sephiroth kisses his cheek softly

Zack says, "Then use me to replace killing"

Sephiroth says, "........."

Sephiroth raps his legs around Zack's side, holding him. closes his eyes. kisses the side of his neck

Zack says, "Cant you do that for me Seph?"

Sephiroth says, "do what?"

Zack says, "Stay with me"

Sephiroth says, "I will"

Sephiroth rests his head on Zack's shoulder

Zack says, "I trust you Seph"

Sephiroth goes to sleep
