Only You. | KH/FF One-Shot Book

fair. - 「angel」

"Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm weak
Maybe I'm blinded by what I see
You wanted a soldier but it wasn't me
Cause I could never set you free
So fly on your own
It's time I let you go
Go go"

He was in love with you once.

Sadly, you were just another chapter in his story book. He fell out of the love he had for you, finally deciding to close you up. You were helpless, almost broken down when he left you.

Zack Fair was his name, your used-to-be knight in shining armor. You met him while he was walking around the slums of Midgar, specifically the one you usually hung out in. You didn't live in this particular slum, no, you just spent your time there whenever you had the chance to.

You were crouched down, caressing the petals of a growing flower in one of the crevices of a building. Your light blue sundress flowed perfectly with the wind as your hair followed ever so smoothly. You smiled to yourself as you examined the plant with interest.

You lifted your head when you heard footsteps coming into the slum. When you spotted a head full of black locks, your [e/c] eyes widened as you stood up from your crouching position. This slum was abandoned years ago, and you were the only resident to ever enter here, so it shocked you to witness another being come in so casually.

The footsteps were followed by loud whistling and a groan. You looked at the approaching figure as you let out a squeak, running over and behind a large amount of boxes that hid you quite well. You peeked over at him as your eyes widened once again, the blood rushing up to your cheeks.

He was unrealistically handsome. The first thing you noticed were his entrancing eyes. They shined in a certain way, almost like they were glowing. They were so beautiful that you couldn't help but stare at the man with major admiration.

When you heard him get closer to the boxes, you panicked. You looked around for any weapon, but there wasn't anything in your luck. You cussed slightly under your breath as you tried to hide further back, but it was too late as the keen-eyed guy spotted you quickly.

His voice was soft, "Hello?"

You didn't speak but instead slapped a hand over your mouth. When he came closer to the boxes, you shook your head as you hopped out from behind the boxes, your body shaking nervously from the anxiety inside of you.

His eyes widened as he looked over at you, his look softening. You tucked a strand of [h/c] hair behind your ear as you looked down at the ground, not wanting to look at the man even though you were nearly so close to him.

"Well hey there," the enthusiasm in his voice caused you to look up, "... Are you okay?"

You glared a little, "You're not here to kidnap me, right?"

"What? Of course not! Where'd you get that idea from?" He chuckled as he used his thumb to point at himself, "name's Zack Fair. SOLDIER 1st Class."

Your eyes widened once again. You heard stories about SOLDIERs and how they worked, and it was just now that you were realizing that his eyes were the same color to those of SOLDIERs' eyes. You smiled a little to yourself, hugging your arms as the wind blew past you two.

"[Name]." You gave him your name, "it's nice to meet you Zack. I'm sorry for the rude assumption. It's just that it's been so long since someone else has come to this slum."

"It's nothing," he waved you off with a charming smile, "it does look quite lonely here.."

You nodded, "I come here often for some peace and quiet. Sector 7 can get quite crowded at times. Plus, I'm the only person that comes here."

"Tell me about it," Zack laughed, "that's nice to know. You've got a good heart, [Name]."

"Already complimenting me and you've known me for about what? Two minutes?" You smirked. You crouched down to caress the flower that you were once examining earlier. Zack watched you with a gentle smile as he rubbed a hand behind his neck awkwardly.

"Well I mean," Zack's cheeks went a light pink, "who would pass up the opportunity to compliment a pretty girl? I know I wouldn't."

And you went red right then and there.

You turned to Zack as he smiled, resting a hand on his hip. You nervously started to run your fingers through your hair as you smiled lightly at the handsome SOLDIER, a wave of embarrassment and flattery hitting you hard.

"You're so cute," you pouted as he winked at you, "well, I guess I better get going. Everything seems to be fine here besides the absence of citizens..."

"Yeah..." You mumbled sadly. You really didn't want him to leave. You watched him lean in to peck you on the cheek as you went red for the third time, your fingers immediately flying to the spot on your cheek that he kissed.

He smiled beautifully as he laughed, waving you a last goodbye as he turned around. You started to feel your heart race as he began to disappear from you slowly, and you ran up to catch up with him.

You panted, "Wait!"

You took a hold of his hand. He looked back behind at you as you felt you were going to explode out of embarrassment. You tried to ignore your feelings as you looked up at him, "Will I ever see you again?"

The butterflies flew joyously around Zack's stomach at those words. He couldn't hold back a smile as he looked down at you, making you swoon as he felt his heartbeat race at your beauty, "A knight will always come for his princess."

And with that, he grabbed your hand and pecked your knuckles. He walked away with one last smile as you felt yourself tear up. You didn't know why, but you were overwhelmed at the moment. But something tugged at the strings of your heart, and your fate would change from then on.

Now here you are, [Name].

Sitting in the bar of Seventh Heaven, looking around lazily. The eyebags under your eyes seemed to grow darker each and every night you stayed up, reminiscing about your true love.

After Zack stopped visiting you last year, you figured he had left you. And you were correct. While searching in another sector, he found a young woman the same age as you, and he immediately grew feelings for her. The two have been together since, and you were starting to question if he had ever loved you or not.

You sighed lightly, using the stick to mix the drink in front of you. You rested your chin on top of your palm as you took a sip of your drink. You frowned yourself in your thoughts as the bell at the entrance doors chimed, footsteps coming in followed by a duet of laughter from a male and female.

Somehow... The male's laughter was familiar.
