Mateus heard the door open but did not look up. He was busy after all. “I have a few more things to go over.”

Spade was out on one of his self given scouting missions. Mostly he would watch the various Cosmos Warriors and what they were up to and return to his mother with information. Today he was watching Squall from a high point where he knew he wouldn’t be seen by the other.

     “You say it as if I do it often.”

“Tell me something, Sephiroth. I have spent the days since you asked me planning everything for it.” His voice started out calm. “Do you know how much stress that alone puts on me? And I was already dealing with a war.” Now his voice was growing in volume. “Do you know how stressful it is balancing a war and a wedding?! There is no way I am going to throw away everything I have done just to do something simple!”

The demon blinked a bit at the offered berry, not quite expecting in. But then smiled a bit and took a bite from the strawberry.

The mermaid surfaced from under the water, not noticing him. Chris lifted herself onto a rock to sit and pushed her hair out of her face, humming slightly as she did so.

“Sephiroth, I...” Did he really mean that? With all her problems, even ones he didn’t know about, he said that. She didn’t know what to say as her voice was caught in through. All she could do was hug him and grip onto his jacket.

“I really hate you.”
