Zack sighs
Sephiroth's blood leaves a trail on the floor
Zack picks up some clean bar towels and goes about caring for Sephiroth's last slash
Sephiroth
says, "This is only a clone body. Don't bother with it"
Zack says, "Seph... stop that"
Sephiroth closes his eyes, feeling the blood pool around him
Zack continues to care for Sephiroth's wounds
Sephiroth sighs
Zack
says, "If you wanna be with someone else... go head... but don't hurt yourself cuz of me"
Sephiroth
says, "why not hurt myself? You want to hurt yourself"
Zack says, "Look Seph... people like you"
Sephiroth says, "I know"

Zack says, "Me... They don't even notice Im there"

Sephiroth says, "I do... let me hurt myself..."

Zack says, "No Seph. You hurt yourself and it hurts me more"

Sephiroth says, "then don't feel it"

Zack says, "I have to cuz I love you. That's what love is"

Sephiroth says, "I love you too"

Sephiroth takes the dagger again

Sephiroth says, "that's why I have to pay for hurting you as I did"

Zack says, "Seph I got feelings for the little guy too... stop it"

Sephiroth says, "not just him... all those I played with"

Zack grabs Sephiroth's arms and pins them to the floor

Zack says, "Stop it now!"

Sephiroth says, "please Zack... let me be punished"

Zack says, "No Seph. I'm overreacting about all this.... So stop"

Sephiroth moves the dagger, even though he is pinned, and sticks it into his side

Zack says, "Seph..."

Zack grabs the dagger

Sephiroth closes his eyes as the blood spills out of his side

Zack says, "Damn it"

Zack sets about bandaging yet another wound

Sephiroth starts to shiver

Zack says, "Seph.... Please stop. You're gonna die and leave me alone"

Sephiroth says, "I... I'll ... co-me.... Ba-ck"

Zack says, "No... Seph please"

Zack picks him up and cradles him

Zack says, "Don't leave me"

Sephiroth lies in his arms limply

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

Sephiroth says, "Yo-u th-ou-ght I did be-fore"

Zack says, "Yeah and I raped cloud because of it... First thing Im gonna go after is that kid..."

Sephiroth says, "I me-an... to-ni-ght"

Zack says, "I mean don't die on me..... "

sephiroth says, "I ne-ed to"

Zack says, "Why?"

sephiroth leans heavily into Zack

Zack says, "Seph..."

sephiroth says, "......"

Zack says, "If you're gonna die.... go head.... I'll..... live I guess. I'll... try again with Cloud I guess... but he kinda hates me... and is gonna hate me more when he knows I let you die"

Sephiroth's bleeding stops

Zack sniffles

Zack says, "Seph?"

sephiroth says, "...."

Zack feels for his pulse. sniffles and pulls his lover to his Chest.. or former lover at that

Zack says, "Seph... I didn't.... want you to die... I lost you again... to foolish actions"

Zack cradles him and sobs

Sephiroth's body has grown cold

Zack says, "Cloud'll never forgive me now"

Zack sighs

Zack says, "It's just me and him left now... isn't it"

Zack strokes his fingers through Sephiroth's hair one last time

Zack says, "I'll wait until closing time... to bring you out... don't wanna upset the patrons"
