A lot of times, you wonder what you are to Sephiroth. His friend? His worst enemy? Just a person he tolerates?
It’s hard to say; your relationship is something undeniably weird, cultivated mostly on the battlefield and in Shinra training rooms. It’s by no means toxic—or is it? Because sometimes you find yourself pulling mean pranks on him just for the sake of it. His confused expression always cracks you up without fail. Of course, he makes sure to get you back twice as hard, because the great hero Sephiroth could never let his reputation be tarnished by the likes of you.
It’s very clear to all—even Zack, who just joined—that the two of you are very close. Your actions, the way you just seem to relax whenever Sephiroth walks into the room, and the way he just seems so light when he talks to you, all that proof points to a loving relationship. But is it true, romantic love or just a close, platonic friendship where Sephiroth finally feels comfortable enough to tell a dry joke for once in his life?
No one in Shinra knows.
Not even you know how he feels.
But you know how you feel about him, and you know that he is quite literally, your everything. Your best friend. Your closest confidant. Your worst enemy. Your sparring partner. The guy who always has an infinite supply of hair ties. And of course, your biggest crush, but that part is a secret.
So, when you find yourself in the middle of a burning village, with Sephiroth standing in front of you, the blade of his sword coated in the blood of countless unidentified individuals. You’re naturally afraid. But then he holds out his hand and offers you the world, but you’re not interested in the world, the world can suck it for all you care. He knows that.
You’re interested in him.
He’s your everything.
How could you ever deny him?
