Memory's Ghost

[wrong.livejournal.com]

I know I haven't been updating the Memories nor the archive lately, and I'm really sorry. I'm just getting caught up with a lot of other things and getting really frustrated with them. But I'll do it. Eventually.

And to whet your appetites:

Title: Memory's Ghost
Word Count: 113
Notes: Apathy is a great emotion to write with. Implied Squall/Rinoa, implied Leon/Yuffie. Because I can so not do pairings. And ambiguity. *glee*

Somewhere inside he still thinks he can hear her screams. Somewhere inside he still thinks he can see her tears, feel her hands (never strong, always delicate, and always, always soft and firm) pushing him away, pushing herself into danger.

Somewhere inside, he still thinks he can hear her last words.

"Just go."

And even as he looks at the other girl, sitting beside him and grinning so cheerfully, like nothing could go wrong with the world, nothing has gone wrong, so long as he's still alive...

He still thinks he sees her in her.

"Squall..."

"For the last time, Yuffie, it's Leon."

He still thinks those beautiful black eyes are looking back at him.

They still do.

But she's no longer there.

><;; Oh~. I like this a lot. <3 You can easily understand the sense of change, but of things in the past that will never be forgotten. Poor Squall, I want to hug him. <3 You make the name change that much more significant.

I still go 'awe.'

And I can do the memories today. XD

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. *Wibble* That was good. And in some senses, totally how I picture things going down in HB. ;_;

..And I can see how he'd see some of Rinoa in Yuffie.

That "Just go" line is awesome, you could so base this into a fic. O! do it that'd be awesomeness. Great drabble I always love your work <3

This is me trying to rationalise Leon/Yuffie. Personally, I really can't see Leon loving anyone. Being affectionate, yes, but I think he's just scared.

Thanks for the compliment. I've been trying to write a Leon/Yuffie fic that is realistic, but it's difficult.
