Interlude 04: Promise
Interlude 04: Promise
Sephiroth’s eyes were focused on Zack’s back as they moved up the beach onto the boardwalk, studying the white wing that matched his own black one. Slowly, he reached out to touch it, and his heart fluttered.
Zack turned to meet his gaze and smiled. “I told you before my heart belonged to you.”
It took Sephiroth a moment to understand. “Your heart is in my chest?”
Zack nodded and shrugged. “I thought you were dead. Malchus was safe with Tseng and Riku was safe on Destiny Islands, When I died, I died to meet you, but I couldn’t get to where you were. My heart found you, but my body didn’t.”
Sephiroth frowned. “And you became the Leader of the Order.”
“Huge organizations are usually able to find those they’re looking for.” Zack sighed. “Unfortunately, once I found you, I couldn’t let you know. You had to remember on your own.”
“Those rules are stupid.”
“I didn’t make them.”
Sephiroth frowned at Zack and reached out to take hold of his wrist. “Tell me about Riku.”
“Riku was conceived the day you burned down Nibelheim.” Zack whispered. “Because of the trauma my body received, my pregnancy was somewhat delayed and never showed. When I had Riku, I found Vincent, and he helped me.”
“He told me the story.” Sephiroth replied softly. His thumb ghosted over the back of Zack’s hand. “No one ever knew.”
“He had to be a secret, Seph. If Hojo found him when he was vulnerable, well, what he did to me would be like a slap on the wrist.”
“What did he do to you?”
“Experiments. Mako, mostly. He created Cloud the SOLDIER from me. Just like Genesis and Angeal.”
Sephiroth snarled softly. “He would have created me through my son.”
“Or tried to create what he wanted you to be.” Zack said. “But he’ll get his, Seph. Right now, you and I need to concentrate on what we have to do here.”
Sephiroth slowly nodded and pulled Zack close to him. He crushed their mouths together, loving the taste of his lover and realizing he had never forgotten it in the first place. Zack pulled back after a moment and grinned.
“We can do that after.” Zack joked. “Now, we have to fight.”
Sephiroth’s green eyes narrowed. “After?”
“Promise.”
“Well then.” Sephiroth cracked his neck and called Masamune to his hand. “By all means, lead the way.”
Zack smiled a Cheshire smile and led the General into the city and into battle.
