This is just something that came to mind while I was at work today when I got singing to myself the song 'How Could This Happen To Me' by Simple Plan lol. I hope people like this. Its like a song like mini poem story I guess you could say, though maybe in the future I might end up writing a big story of this, not sure though, but if you like me too maybe just drop me a line and give me a few ideas and if I do make of story of this I will make sure to give you credit for the ideas.

Warnings : Blood and implied yaoiness

Together One Last Time

'I open my eyes, I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light. I can't remember how, I can't remember why I'm lying here tonight, And I can't stand the pain, And I can't make it go away, No I can't stand the pain.'

There was a flash of light then a burning feeling followed by pain. He couldn't remember what just happened as he stared up at the slowing darkening sky wondering why. Feeling the pain beginning to take hold over his body. Using the little bit of strength in his body he shifted his hand trying to find something but found his grip held the hand of another. Looking from the corner of his eye to see who it was, he eyes widen in shock seeing the person laying next to him.

The blonde looked almost sweet with his smile on his lips but it brought tears to the brunette's eyes seeing the blood splattered face of his lover. Seeing him like this hurt so much he didn't know what to do but he tried harder to remember what happened to them. Turning his head ever so slightly to get a better look at the blonde he noticed the a crimson red liquid painted the brown soil between them, the green grass glistened with red smudges and smears. A horrified look came to his face when he noticed the blood had come from the both of them noticing a gaping slashes covering the front of his lover.

'Everybody's screaming, I try to make a sound but no one hears me, I'm slipping off the edge, I'm hanging by a thread, I wanna start this over again, So I try to hold, On to a time when, Nothing mattered, And I can't explain, What happened and I can't erase the things that I've done, No I can't.'

Screams of panicking people around them soon became apparent to him, he wondered about where they were in the first place. Fear suddenly struck him remembering something ambushing the training grounds of the cadets and Solders, but that's all he could remember. Seeing some of the other cadets running up to him and the blonde. He tried to open his mouth to speak but nothing but a small wisp of breath passed his lips and heard someone telling him not to speak.

Suddenly he felt the pressure of the grip of the blonde tighten a bit and looked over to his lover again only to find the blonde had tears welling up in his eyes, his smile gone, replaced with fear. He felt the cool substance begin to slowly roll down the flesh of his cheeks watching him. All he wanted at this point was start things over again, it hurt him so much seeing all the blood from the blonde and him wanting this pain to go away and things normal again. The only thing he could think to do at the moment was tighten his grip feeling the fear in him building, feeling him and the blonde hanging only by a threat, scared of losing it all.

'How could this happen to me, I've made my mistakes, got nowhere to run, The night goes on as I'm fading away, I'm sick of this life, I just want to scream, How could this happen to me.'

Time seemed to slow a bit, his tears burning his eyes softly, he wanted to run from this all but his body wouldn't move for anything. All he could do is watch his lover cling to the last threat of life in them both. He wondered how much time they had together even if it meant bleeding together one last time. Watching the blue eyes not far from him, watching the small flame burning, beginning to flicker, he knew soon for them both death would come for them. He wanted to scream, scream about his life, the world, everything around him, Cloud, and why this was happening to them.

Everyone made mistakes, he wished he could fix the ones over the years, it wasn't fair but then again, life... their life... was never fair to them. He wanted to tell him sorry for this morning for arguing over just coffee, he knew their small little fights they all ways had in the morning, he was going to miss them no matter how stupid they were. The blonde then tired to speak but only his lips moved to what he tried to say but no sound came just the breathing of his lover beginning to slow and shallow. All he could make you from him was "I'm sorry Zack... I love you... please stay strong if I'm not there by your side...".

'I made my mistakes, got nowhere to run, The night goes on as I'm fading away, I'm sick of this life, I just want to scream, How could this happen to me'

Letting what the blonde had mouthed to him sink in, he felt himself cry more, his mouth becoming dry, watching his lover, the fight in his eyes beginning to fade little by little. He held on tighter to the hand of the blonde screaming his name over and over in his mind, wanting him to hold on just a little longer. The others around them watched... watching the tragedy unfold before them hoping they would some how, some way, by some chance survive this.

He felt himself crumbling inside, how the hell could he be strong without him? Cloud meant everything to him. The blonde suddenly then spoke... a single word... "Zack..." His eyes widen at the sound of his name, he could feel the grip the blonde hand was slowly loosening. He knew his lover was loosing the battle of his life right before his eyes. Trying with everything in him to say a word... just one word... he hoped in hell it would make a different as the name rolled off his tongue in a wispy small voice on the verge of cracking... "Cloud..."

His vision was beginning to blur now as he continued to watch the blonde, watching the flame in his eyes flickering and beginning to fade more rapidly. He could feel the thread of life in them both tightening, ready to snap at the slightest of touch. Then before he knew both of their grips had gone limp he watched in silence as his world turned upside down his vision going slowly a whitish green loosing his sight of his lover hoping it wasn't his last time together...
