Colour Me Blood Red

AN: Listen to Colour Me Blood Red by Malice Mizer. It inspired me to write this fic.

Seifer Zell pairing… Strange for me I know… but hey, when someone requests it, I often comply… maybe…

Colour Me Blood Red

We Could Be Gone

~

I don’t know why, but I love the colour of blood, so much so that my blonde hair is filled with streaks of the colour. I know, strange for the hyperactive Zell to have blood in his hair, but it reminds me.

Reminds me of what I have lost. Of what I did. Of the crimes I have committed against humanity.

Of the crimes committed against my one true love.

He’s dead now, buried in some obscure plot of land, hidden away. It doesn’t suit him, to be hidden. He was always so vibrant, so obvious, such a stand out.

Seifer Almasy.

Now I know what you’re all thinking… I couldn’t stand the arrogant Bastard. That shows you just how much I fooled you all. We loved each other, but I was afraid and he didn’t wanna get called a fag, so we hid the relationship away from the prying eyes of SeeD and Garden.

Squall Leonhart.

Asshole.

He’s the reason I have blood on my soul, not mere human blood, no, my lover’s blood. I was the one to kill him in the final battle. I was the one that, following Squall’s orders, dealt the blow that felled him forever more.

I am now coloured blood red.

Seifer my love, forgive me for my part in your defeat, in your falling. I only ever wanted to be by your side.

In all truth, it was you who showed me the wonder of a hotdog… showed me the wonder of your bed… showed me the wonder of hand to hand combat… showed me the wonder of a rare sincere smile… showed me the wonder of love…

I will not betray your memory my darling.

Where once we had romped, playful, now I lie, totally defeated in spirit. Would you not come back for me? Oh my love, I would not languish here, but join you if I had but the courage to kill myself.

Oh I’ve tried, many times. Letting down my defence at the crucial moment in battle… sleeping in the training centre… slitting my wrists…

Something always seems to move against me, preventing me from actually dying.

~

Tonight my love, I will join you, on the eve of the anniversary of your final defeat, I will once again colour myself blood red. This time, it will not be your blood, but my own. Everything is planned.

Once Garden is in shut down mode, I will plug the bath…

~

Ah Seifer, the bath is almost full of my blood now. I’m feeling faint, but I will follow through. I clamber into the bath and spread myself down against the bottom, covering as much of me as possible with my blood, bathing in it as my skin turns blood red.

“This is for you my love. A repeat of what happened.” I let myself slip down as everything slowly fades away. The last colour I remember is blood red, my hair drifting over my eyes.
