DISCLAIMER: I do not own Squall or Seifer. I had a pair of muses but they kind of wandered off…. ^-^’
Author's Notes: The others characters and ALL song lyrics found within this fic are MINE. Please do not steal without permission.
This story takes place a few years after the game takes place. I don’t really elaborate on what happened to the other characters. It doesn’t really have anything to do with the story itself. I don’t really spend a lot of time on the other characters because they aren’t completely relative to the story.
All but one section is written in Seifer’s POV. The POV change is listed so don’t worry about being confuzzeled. :D
This was written for a contest on a SxS mailing list. Please read and review :D Feel Free to e-mail me comments at Sodoshiin @ hotmail.com

Darkness Falls
Chapter Three
By Sodoshiin
“Just how long can this last
The light is fading all too fast
I’m trying to just hold on
To wish away the pain”
Squall was on the ball tonight. I honestly didn’t know where his energy came from sometimes. It seemed to pour out whenever he sang…
And the fans below us knew it.
“I don’t know how much more I can take
Try not to let my spirit break
Must go on for your sake
Don’t let it end this way”
The crowd wasn’t so bad tonight, not a full house but what could you expect on a Monday night.
“Breathe (I have to breathe)
Hold on (I just have to hold on)
Don’t give up (Just a little bit longer)
Just believe (I’ve got to be stronger)”
I tried not to think about what had gone on earlier that day and concentrated on my guitar playing. Guitar now. Hormones later.
“This is my destiny
This is the reason why I came
This is my choice, my voice
So let me take the blame”
I have this habit of letting my mind wander. My fingers however always seemed to know what they were doing, my feet helping as much as they could but allowing me to wander a short distance over the surface of the stage.
“These tattered wings before me
Can only take me so far
My body’s broken, bleeding
Don’t let it end this way”
“You know I love you
I’m here just to protect you
I’ll always watch over you
Even if it means I have to leave you”
All I had to do was keep clean for the rest of the week.
“Breathe (I have to breathe)
Hold on (I just have to hold on)
Don’t give up (Just a little bit longer)
Just believe (I’ve got to be stronger)”
Squall had wrapped the arm with the microphone in it around my neck, pulling my head closer to his mouth. I honestly don’t know how I continued to play as the warm breath tickled my ear, warm…tempting…the tantalizing body pressed against mine, the soft melodic whisper dancing through my body.
“Just how long can this last
The light is fading all too fast
I’m trying to just hold on
To wish away the pain”
“This is my sacrifice
For you I’ll say goodbye
My last reserves are running dry
It must be my time to die”
“If it will turn the tide
I’ll leave it all behind
The sky’s never been so clear
The stars have never been so near”
The little bastard. He was just doing all he could to keep me up with that little plan of his...
“Don’t cry these crimson tears
Don’t blame this lonely heart
This is the only way
You’ll understand someday”
The crowd screamed at the fan service that was being offered to them, even louder as Squall grinned, starting to walk away, but pausing to slap the me lightly on the rear.
“This is my sacrifice
I know it will make you cry
I’ll come back to you one day
My memories are a part of the sky”
And what could I do about it?
Sit there and play.
And try to hide my erection as best as I could…
