[ Sephiroth was still smiling because there were just-- ]

So many things.

[ But he would help her. First, by answering one question. She didn't know that, of course, and he wasn't going to say it. All part of the game. ]

Ask me.

[ancientflower]

[Ask him... Just where did she start?

Aerith considered her options, regarding the man before her with an uncertain expression.]

Tell me those things? All of them.

[never_a_memory]

Haven't you been listening?

[ Sephiroth's stroked his thumb along her jaw. ]

I've already told you so many of them.

[ancientflower]

[Her breath caught, but her gaze hardened. No, she wasn't going to be undone by a touch. No matter how gentle it was...]

I've listened... But you're avoiding my questions.

What do you want with me, Sephiroth? Tell me?

[never_a_memory]

[ Ah, now there was a real question. Although she refused to understand all that he had said to her so far, perhaps this would make sense to her.

Sephiroth leaned in until his lips were right by her ear and whispered. ]

Everything.

[ancientflower]

[It wasn't that she refused to understand, it was that she couldn't understand. Sephiroth wanted them dead. All of them dead. The whole world dead. He was their enemy.

Wasn't he?

She didn't know anymore.

Aerith brought a hand up to press against his chest once again as he leaned in closer. And despite her best intentions, her eyes fell closed and a shiver travelled the length of her spine as warm breath flowed over her ear. The fingers of the hand at his chest curled until she was gripping at the leather bindings.]

... But... I have nothing.

[never_a_memory]

[ It was as if that small hand pressing against Sephiroth gave him new life. Yes, it was a sign. He knew. She was his soulmate and destined to complete him. His eyes weren't clouded now, and though everyone had their role he saw hers clearly. She belonged to him in a way no one else ever could.

It was different...seeing her like this, and he found that he enjoyed it. He would just as easily have enjoyed tormenting her, but that's how Sephiroth's version of love worked. Either way, she was all that was on his mind and it showed in subtle ways--the way he leaned into that touch instead of away, the fact he inhaled when he didn't need to breathe at all. ]

You are everything.

[ancientflower]

[How could that be true though? This was crazy. It was insane. It was beyond the rational.

But he was so so close and leaning in closer. Aerith turned her head slightly, eyes half opening... and caught sight of where her hand was. And what was puzzled what she saw there. Because there, at his chest, was a strange glow... A glow that, with a slightest of hesitations, she reached for. The tips of her fingers grazed the skin there in a dazed sort of way.]

... Are you hurt...?

[never_a_memory]

[ Now that felt unaccountably good, as if Sephiroth truly had a body and she were touching something fundamental within it to which no one else had access.

Tension eased across his whole frame and that was when he realized that, actually, he did feel more present and more real than ever before. Was this a result of her proximity? Or her touch? ]

I've never felt better than here with you.

[ It was just a statement of the facts. Sephiroth wasn't trying to imply anything by it. As in life, so in death, he had no idea how that would come across. ]

[ancientflower]

[And yet he had tensed when she'd touched him. So his words and body weren't lining up.

Aerith couldn't draw her hand away. The strange glow was captivating in a way she couldn't explain. It wasn't something she had expected to see, and had clearly missed several times. But her grip on Sephiroth had moved a little of the leather to the side, enough to expose more of that glow to her eyes.

She touched it again, since Sephiroth claimed he was unhurt. A feather-light brush of fingers until she went ahead and pressed her whole palm to it.

What urged her to do, Aerith didn't understand. But a voice inside of her said she should. That if she did, things would become clearer... Since she was so used to answering those voices, she did what they asked of her.

A feeling like static almost made her pull her hand away. A gasp later and her eyes had closed once more, tighter now, as a wave of dizziness caused her to sway unsteadily upon her feet. Aerith felt lightheaded, her heart was beating so fast... The tips of her fingers tingled. Itched. Ached to grab hold of Sephiroth.]

What... what have you done to me?

[Breathlessly she spoke. But she knew he wasn't doing anything. She knew, even without having to ask, that something else was happening. Something bigger and much, much older than either of them, pulling them closer together.]
