Star Ocean (All Series) Fan Fiction ❯ Far From a Fairytale ❯ Void ( Chapter 13 )

Chapter Twelve:Void

 

A/N: Hello there everyone! Here is the next chapter to FFaF and I hope you all enjoy it. Oh, and by the way, the poem filtered in between isn't about Mirage and Fayt. I just want to say thanks to all of my reviewers:

 

BATTLE KING: Thanks for the review and I agree with you on the “finally someone is able to melt Albel's heart” comment. Though, this pairing isn't as rare as you might think it to be. Check out Fanfiction.net if you want to read more Alphia's. We even have an Alphia forum on FF.net that is doing quite well. I hope you enjoy this new chapter! ^.^

 

Raman Man: Lol! Thanks for the review and don't worry. This fic isn't ending until chapter sixteen, which will be an epilogue. Anyway, I'm glad you like it so much, and I hope you like this next chapter as well. =)

 

Black18: Alphia is a cool pairing, and like I told BATTLE KING, if you want to read more of this pairing then check out Fanfiction.net. Oh, and the way us Alphian's see this ship is as opposites attracting, because, in all actuality, Nel and Albel are such opposites that they much too similar…wow, I don't think that just made any sense at all, but thanks again for the review and I hope this chapter lives up to the rest. ^ ^

 

And now, onto the story! : )

That day was spent…

 

Not at school…

 

Not at work…

 

His green eyes that once shone so brightly were now dimmed, so much so that they almost didn't even look green, but black. Mirage took notice on how such murky depths reflected his mood; came to the realization that he was headed for a major depression. She let out a sigh, as she saw him curled up on one of the chairs in the Esteed living room, his state of mind only declined after they told the news of Sophia to her parents the other day. Mirage wasn't entirely sure what to do, but she knew she had to comfort Fayt in some way, shape, or form, even if what she needed the most was the same exact thing. She began to walk over to Fayt.

 

Contradictions met and blended…

 

Dark ruby and deep emerald…

 

Splashes of morning, midday, and night intertwined…

 

Her blond hair swung behind her in a braid as she continued her gait toward the young man. Once she stood in front of the large and comfortable chair, which Fayt was now buried in, the said person glanced up at her. Mirage knelt down so her eyes were level with his and was taken by surprise when his arms shot out and wrapped themselves around her frame. At first, Mirage had no idea what to do, yet she ended up with her arms secure around him as well. Felt as his body began to shake from silent sobs and the tears from his glazed over orbs soaked through her shirt. Finally, after a few good minutes the liquid from his eyes stopped their flow and his body no longer shook. Instead, he looked up at her and a small gasp escaped her lips, for his eyes now held some form of emotion….affection.

 

Pale touches of skin…

 

Shadowy trails of kisses…

 

Heated connections of two souls…

 

Fayt brought himself closer to Mirage, so close she could feel his breath upon her skin, and then he spoke in a soft whisper, “I can feel it, whenever I think of Sophia, I feel this…this…” Yet, whatever it was he felt Mirage never knew, for she felt his lips come in contact with her own. She sensed the way her body reacted to his and knew that they had found affection in each other. When her lips responded to his own the fact that they held some form of compassion for one another was confirmed. For never had a kiss been so electric nor so emotional; in their time of grief they had found a way to fill what Fayt felt whenever he thought of Sophia. In this time of utter melancholy they had created a bond stronger than that of friendship. When they finally broke apart Fayt uttered, “I can still feel it, but, it doesn't hurt as much anymore.” The depression was still heavy in his eyes, but Mirage now held hope that he would eventually heal. After all, it didn't seem quite as empty anymore.

 

Passion and pleasure…

 

Melded together when…

 

That void was filled.

A/N: Really short chapter, I know, it was suppose to be longer, but then I decided to end it there. The next chapter is going to have Peppita in it, along with some interaction between Nel and Cliff. The way I see it is that this chapter and chapter thirteen are going to be the transition chapters that lead into the climax of the story. I'll try to update again on Sunday, but if not on that day, then I don't know when the next update will be. Oh, and on Tuesday I'm going to Radio City Music Hall in New York City to see JK Rowling! I'm totally psyched about that. xD Anyway, please tell me what you think of it in a review and take care. :D
