Title: The Union of Opposites
Word Count: 270
Notes: Cloud is in Hollow Bastion. Unfortunately, he's not alone ..
Spoilers: References Final Mix's Showdown of Fate
In the dimness of the night, the brassy invading coils and blood-thorn ornaments
seem unreal, phantoms; spectres of the nothing half-world spawned of darkness and the void.
He is prepared for the darkness onslaught, wolf's-grey blade held as a blood-sharp talisman against the nothingness;
but it cannot prepare him for the black-velvet over steel, the darkling electric shock,
as his own darkness reaches from his wake to trail fingers along his cheek and tenderly grip his jaw.
He freezes, heart gone still and silent, as the midnight shadow presses against his back, silken tendrils of silver ice drifting around him in the sudden stillness; and a hated longed-for voice murmurs in his ear as a sharp cheekbone presses against golden hair.
"Am I to be abandoned, then ..?"
The voice is the same, always the same; rich as velvet, dark as pride, soft as death.
"We searched for so very long, you and I.
"Could it be that I am no longer wanted ...?"
He turns his head the merest fraction, enough to glimpse the shine of sea-jade eyes slashed with knife-sharp pupils in the shine of the blade.
Then he is pulled closer suddenly; and one dark-gloved hand traces down his jaw and caresses his throat as the other gently, relentlessly, pulls the great wolf's-blade from hands gone numb, and coils around his waist, drawing him ever closer to the shadow's cold fire.
And the voice purrs darkness desired in his ear.
"Once united, never again parted.
"You are with me again, now ...
"And I shall never be free of you ..."
