Garnet sat on the bed thinking about Zidane,"It's been two years since Zidane left. The one and only person I've ever loved. He's gone. I'm gone. After all that time we had spent together,I never really told him how I felt inside."Garnet''s eyes were damp from crying,and her face more than damp.
A tear fell from the corner of her eye as she said to herself,"Zidane,come back! I'm lost without you."
In her heart,she wished she could have pressed her lips against his,and feel his skin gently brush against her's. Like that time her mother had destroyed the towers one by one.
He was a person with his morals,and such a wit. Just picturing his face mde her ache from the happiness and sadness it brougth her.
She got up from the edge and sat near the window,"You should be here,Zidane! By my side! Comforting me and saying everything's okay.So why aren't you?!"she felt a sudden coldness run up her arm as she placed her hand on the window,"Why aren't you here?"Another tear flowed down her cheek and dropped onto her lap,"I love you,Zidane. I love YOU!"
She saw a dagger lying near her. She grabbed it and slid her fingers up and down on the back of the knife. she touched the tip gently with her nail. She felt somebody place their hand on hers as her eyes closed. She wasn't afraid of who it wasn't. She was afraid of who it was.
"Dagger?"oh,gosh,it's him.
She shuddered as two tears fell from her eyes,"Zidane."
He knelt by her side,"What's wrong Dagger? Why aren't you glad to see me?"
Garnet finally looked beside her to see his face in concern. She jumped on him on the floor and wrapped her arms tightly around him,"Why did you wait this long? Why?"
He put his arms around her waiste,"I'm-"
Garnet leaned off his shoulder and faced him as she whispered"don't say anything... please,Zidane."It all came back to her. The memories,the laughs,the pain,everything they'd gone through.
She looked him in the eye,"Just answer me this."
"Anything."he put on a smile. The magical smile she was sure to always fall for.
"Why did you leave me in the first place?"Garnet kept a firm look on her face.
"I had to wait for things to settle down. The world was searching for me. I'm a thief,I am wanted. That's all they saw me as."
Garnet stood up and looked towards a wall,"But the source of my happiness. Do you think I cared that you were a thief? I mean,seriously,Zidane,do you think it amttered to me?"her voice got louder.
He just stood there smiling at her.
She took a seat on the bed,"Do you think I could be ashamed of you? Who you are! Who I am? Do you even know how rediculous you sounded? Zidane Tribal,first you kidnap me and change my life forever,then you leave me,then you return,then you leave me,and now that you've come back,you expect-"
He stood up,grabbed her by the wrist as he pulled her up,then they shared a passion filled kiss.
As Zidane pulled away,Garnet was left breathless and her head down,"Zid...Zidane...?"
He took a step forward,"Yeah?"
Garnet stood up and looked at him,"Why'd you do it?"
"Eh? Do what?"he looked at her face,and the reflection of the tears that fell had shown him the answer. Although he didn't say a thing.
"I ask again. Why did you do it?"
"I'm sorry,Dagger. I really am."
"But why?"she got in his face and knitted her eyebrows.
"Because..."his voice faded as she pushed him on the bed.
"Tell me!"Garent's eyes turned as red as ever.
"Because I loved you."he stood back up.
"What?"her eyes popped right open as she stoked her hair continuously stroked her hair back.
"I love you."he pulled himself in closer.
Garnet laughed and started to clap,"That is funny!"
Beatix came rushing in and bowed,"Your high-"she stood up and looked at Garnet smiling,"What is going on?"
"Ohmygosh! Beatrix,come-come in here. Zidane was telling a joke."she pulled Beatrix next to her.
Beatrix laughed,"What was it?"
"He said he loved me!"she said between laughs. Garnet tilted her head back.
Beatrix stood next to Zidane and looked mistified as he just nodded.
"What?"Garnet looked them in the eye.
"I don't think he was joking."Beatrix put her hands on her hips.
"Of course he was..."Garnet just stood there. She looked at Zidane's serious face and said,"Oh...my...gosh..."she threw her arms around him.
Just then,Stiener entered the room,"Your Majesty!"before he could split them up,Beatrix turned him around and dragged him out,"No! Don't trust him!"
Garnet pulled away and laughed as she cried,"I don't know what to do...or say...or anything."
Zidane smiled,"I have an idea."he pushed back a string of hair in her face,"How about...you love me."
"I...I love you."Garnet smiled and laughed.
"Well we're past step one."Zidane took her hand and dragged her up to the top of the castle step by step as he counted them in his head,"(One...two...three...)"
"Where are you taking me?"Garnet looked at the dark walls.
"Surprise. Close your eyes. I've got you."he grabbed her other hand.
"Okay."she did as he said.
It didn't take long for him to get her there,to the end of the stairs,to the end of the castle,to the end of the line...
