Giullia In the end of the video game days Sephiroth was more comfortable about his death, and more important -feeling the things, having feelings, in a way he never thought he really could do. He thought Barbara marvelous and started to think very seriously about her.
Some days later, the holiday week was over, and Bobby was again going out to the school as Barbara was back in the college.
But before returning to her College, she thought it was time to Sephiroth learn some things, because he had no way to come back for his own dimension except dying - and Barbara definitely wasn't wanting that.
The first thing Barbara did was to buy some uncolored contact lenses and a sun glasses and teach Sephiroth how to wear it. At the beginning he hated, felling very weird, but then he learned to tolerate it. His eyes still shining, but without that bright who usually scares everybody into the darkness, the contact lenses gave his eyes a natural opacity.
In the day after, she decided it was time for him to walk for the streets to learn how to come home. New York is big - "bigger than Midgar!!", he said - and at least in Brooklyn he could go to the market, the mail agency, the local hospital, the College and Bobby's school. Walking: Sephiroth thought buses awful, and he preferred the subways. Saturday came, and Barbara took her car, some money and her credit card and took Sephiroth for a shopping day.
First came the hair cut. Sephiroth made a really huge scandal when she told the barber to cut and pint it. Sephiroth thrown the poor man in his chair:
"Nobody dares to touch my hair!! Forget it!!"
Sephiroth looked around for Masamune, but he remembered he had left the sword at Barbara's home. But nobody wanted to really bother the big man:
"Yeah man, your hair is wonderful," said one of the barbers.
"Wow, and look at the... size...!"Nodded the gay barber.
"Pretty original color, teenagers are wearing, don't need no pint" said a client.
"Very, Very good now. Much better." Saying this, Sephiroth carried Barbara for the hand. "You can tie my hair if you please, but do never dare to do that with me again."
"I think that, with so many punks and weirdos in the city, no one will really care about your hair..." - she said.
"Pretty better this way."
Barbara smiled, and preferred to go to the mall.
Sephiroth enjoyed a lot proving thousands of clothes. Pants, t- shirts, blouses, underwear, shoes ( these were the hardest thing to find), a beach clothe and even a watch.
Then, another teeth brush ( Sephiroth was wearing an old one, that Barbara thought Bobby used it to brush the cat's hair, but of course she told him nothing.)
Sephiroth loved each moment by her side. In the end of the afternoon, close to her home, she still took him to the library to read some books about dimensions.
At night, Barbara went to meet a mate of the school who lived in Harlem. With this friend, with some money and a really good excuse ( my foreigner fiancée wants to be in USA for a while... got no visa...) she got Sephiroth some false documents, with the name Steven Sephiroth. He won another birthplace and a birth date too.
Sunday Barbara's parent's called asking if everything was all right. They should be arriving in fifteen days. Then, Barbara realized she couldn't support Sephiroth forever even if she wanted, so, it was time for Sephiroth find a job. On Monday, talking with the principal of the school who could make everything for a pretty girl, Barbara got a job for Sephiroth as a librarian in Barbara's College, where she could always keep one eye over him. He felt very happy with the possibility to have his money without killing anyone - and, after reading the Shinra's entire library, the job could be everything except annoying.
In the first week, the weird wise librarian became famous in the whole college for his fascinating stories and his ability with the books. Still, tall and handsome, even with glasses the whole day, Sephiroth became a Sex symbol for the whole crew. He was somewhat cold, yes, but always smiled back for whom smiles for him. No bad boy wanted trouble with the big one. Barbara was always around too, to keep one eye on him. Still, Sephiroth just had eyes for Barbara, even with all the gays and the girls around having a crush on him.
Living as a honeymoon for those twenty days, Barbara's parents had to come back to New York. So, sadly, Barbara, Bobby and Sephiroth decided it was time for Sephiroth to leave, and live for his own.
They were talking after the dinner, a habit they had acquired since Sephiroth's appearance in their lives. They were in the intimate room. A pale fire from the hearth and a nuts liqueur in their hands. Bobby said Good Night, because the night could became hotter than the fire...
"I don't know if I can really handle this," said Sephiroth. "I could learn how to cook, to deal with microwaves and wash machines. I know where the laundry is. But without you there by my side, I will feel..."
Sephiroth shut. It was still hard for him to admit his weaknesses. "Sephiroth... say the word" told him Barbara.
"...."
She held his hand, and came closer.
"Say the word, baby..."
"I... I..."
"You... will..."
"I'll... I'll feel..." Sephiroth looked at her and suddenly grabbed her for the waist, making her sit in his knees. Putting the glass aside, he held her tight.
"I never thought such a little child would make me feel safer than my own powerful steel sword. Yes, I will feel lost and weak, vulnerable. That damned video game of yours is all I got from my own dimension. And you are my point of sanity here. I was lucky when I found you. Who else could care about me so much?"
"Sephy... You're nothing of what I was expecting...
"I know I may disappoint you..."
"No, you didn't. You surprised me, Seph..."
"Thanks for everything... if you think I'll be better moving I will move. But I'll miss you child. Don't think I won't... you warm my nights..."
"Sephy, I..." Barbara felt the time has come.
"Light where it's darkness..."
"Seph there's something I wanna give to you."
Sephiroth left her free. She stood in front of him, praying for he likes her body. He looked at her, serious, but also curious.
"I made you a kind of Clark Kent, yeah...? But in fact you have no powers here... except the power of turning people on and on and on...
"Excuse-me?
Barbara undressed her long shirt in front of him, staying with lingerie only. Sephiroth opened his eyes ( he always took off that contact lenses when at home ) and looked at her with that Mako eyes shining. He opened his lips but made no sound.
"Barb, you'll... you'll get a cold...
"No, silly... I'm giving myself to you.
Sephiroth suddenly blushed. He stayed there without knowing where to put his hands. Finally he decided to face his worst fear:
"Thanks Barbara... but I don't have a clue what I can do for you now."
"What???"
"...."
"You just don't know??"
Sephiroth felt like a ton of bricks in his shoulders.
"No I don't."
Barbara changed the surprised look for a sweet smile.
"You never... I mean... had Sex with no one in your place??"
"Uh... I don't think so."
"What's the closest you ever had?"
Sephiroth faced her, those eyes shining.
"Hojo called me once and said I had to give him kids. He said he needed to inseminate me. I thought he was kidding. I laid in the lab's bed, to extract some blood for the exam as I usually did... but then he asked me to turn around. I did that, thinking he would collect more of my skin to proceed his nonsense experiences... and when I looked for him, he was there, ready to hit me with that... thing.
"So I raised up, slapped him two or three times and left the room. I was only 13. But he never saw another drop of my blood again, never had my skin again, and never came back there except for slaughter them some years later. As you can see, my only experience was a real... fake."
"You never let girls get closer of you?"
"Some of them, in Midgar's slums, was always wanting. But I never had the time. I felt in love once or twice, but these loves just we call by love. Was more a kind of 'I care with you' than a real love"
Barbara smiled. Coming closer, she started to open the buttons of his blouse. Feeling the smell of his skin.
"Barb, no one never made me feel what you make me feel."
"Shhhh... Just rave, Sephiroth... Let's find out together."
Sephiroth held her tight across his chest as soon as his blouse softly slid under his shoulders. Her fingers found his jeans zipper and in some seconds they were touching one another laid down in the fluffy carpet, discovering sensations they never had before. She left his hair free, touched both of them with it, they were holding in different positions and kissing different parts of the body until both of them got ready for consummate the love act.
*Author's note: the scene continues, but once that I don't know where this fic will be available, I preferred to hide the lemon parts. If you want the complete version, e-mail me.)
They woke up at the following morning. Sephiroth had Barbara in his arms, caressing his hair, laid over him as if he was the bed. His hair was messy and soft, over his face, making him look so perfect and handsome. He smiled, she smiled back.
"Hello dear..."
"Good Morning, Barbara."
Suddenly he had the scenes of the past night in his mind again. He felt ashamed and he blushed almost to the bones, but couldn't say a word. He was laid on the carpet, naked, with that goddess over him.
"Sephy, something wrong?"
"...."
"Sephy?!" - she raised up her face and looked at him to see him red as a pepper.
"Sephy!!!"
"...."
"What's wrong, dear??" - she smiled.
"...Well I..."
She laughed.
"Sephy, it was so perfect, beautiful and natural. Don't feel so bad or I'll think you hated me last night."
"No, I loved each and every second. But how do you expect me to behave now? I mean, how should I act?"
"There's nothing in this world better than be adult, Sephy. Don't you worry, ok? Just keep on being the wonderful Sephiroth you have been."
Sephiroth smiled. "Better brush my teeth before kissing you."
So he looked down and saw blood on the carpet. Scared, he rose up and forgot he was naked.
"Oh boy, did I hurt you Barbara?? Oh no, oh no, what the hell I did?!"
Barbara didn't understand until she saw the blood.
"Sephy I'm ok!! Sephy!!"
He rose her in his arms, and went to go upstairs. In the stairs he met Bobby.
"Yo boys, you made a lot of noise last night!! You woke up the entire neighborhood!
Barbara tried to cover her naked body with Sephiroth's hair. But Sephiroth wasn't even caring about.
"I hurt your sister, please call a doctor, she bleed a lot..."
"What?"
"There's nothing Bobby, it's just 'that'. Please explain to him, because he won't listen to me. It was my first time..."
Bobby laughed.
"Really? Your misfortune. With a guy in this proportions you will walk twisting your legs for a week and a half...!"
"Bobby!!!!"
Sephiroth reached the second floor and laid Barbara in his parent's bed.
Bobby came to him, even ignoring they were naked.
"Sit down in this fucking bed Sephiroth!!!"
Sephiroth became so surprised that he sat down, looking at Bobby, and thinking, "he got all the reasons to be mad with me. I came so far, came into their lives, and hurt this innocent girl that just wanted to give me some good moments and a way to live again..."
When Sephiroth opened his mouth to explain, Bobby didn't permit.
"Shut up and listen..."
During the whole hour they gave that sexual classes that Sephiroth should have learned some years ago about girls, babies, periods and cramps.
After that, Bobby left them and went downstairs to make a big breakfast, while Sephiroth and Barbara enjoyed a good time in the Bathtub.
Once the breakfast was over, the three went to the streets to look for a small studio where Sephiroth could live. They had a lunch in McDonald's, and in the end of the day, they finally found a nice building close to his work place, a small furnished studio with telephone, not that expensive, and also in a easy way to Barbara's house. Sephiroth could pay the home by himself, in the end of the months, and still save some money for food and his really small bills.
In the day before Barbara's parents arrive, Sephiroth had already moved.
The days went on. Barbara's parents were back. Carpet clean, house ok... as they never had visitors before.
She saw Sephiroth every day in the college, and after his work she used to go to his house and they had dinner, made love, played video game or simply talked about the day.
Bobby went back to his friends, saying his sister was with a boyfriend who had everything like Sephiroth of the game. The boys believed she was with one of the actors who played Sephiroth in RPG reunions or something.
But Barbara's mother looked worried. One night, Barbara was putting a dress to go out when the mother called.
"Come in, mommy..."
Darla came in, sitting down at the bed. She looked at the daughter. Barbara seemed so happy, so beautiful.
"When you're going to introduce us this lucky boyfriend?"
"What...?"
"I'm a woman too, dear. I know what happened. I can see it on your behavior, in your eyes... I just want to know if he's cool..."
"He's only a poor librarian on my school... He is taller than a wall, strong, very athletic and really handsome. Ok?"
"He got parents?"
"Ahhhnn... nope. He's an orphan."
"Bring him to dinner one of this days."
"Why?"
"Don't you think Curt and I-"
"No, I don't think so. Curt means nothing to me."
"Barbara, you're our daughter..."
"YOUR daughter. Maybe I can give YOU the honor of meeting Sephy."
"Sephy? Is his name Sephy?"
"His name is Steven. I call him Sephy."
"You better bring this Sephy...
"Steven, for the rest of the mortals."
"Whatever. You better bring this Steven here before Curt get mad with you..."
Barbara couldn't tolerate that anymore. She opened wildly the door and, with a kick, opened the parent's room door. Curt was in the bad reading a book and jumped surprised.
"Listen to me, you fucking Jack - ass: touch one miserable finger of yours in MY private life and I will leave this fucking house to live with my boyfriend."
"You don't dare..."
"I'm 18 years old, mother fucker. Do something with Sephy and mommy will know exactly what you did to me when I was eleven. Touch this dirty ginger of yours in MY life. I'm praying for the chance to fuck your life in the jail."
Barbara went out furious and crossed with the mother in the way:
"I will bring Sephy to have dinner tomorrow, Friday. If Curt say something wrong, he is fucked. If Curt do something wrong, he'll wish the hell."
Darla stayed there looking at Barbara, who went downstairs and went away with her car. May this boyfriend teach her how to hate Curt or how to speak so many bad words?
Nah... Barbara always said bad words. Sephy, or Steven, was letting her more pretty and romantic, and closer to the younger brother. Sometimes she invited Bobby for going out with them, so, the poor librarian should really be a nice guy...
