Sweet Dreams(YAZOO ONLY)

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan arrived at the five star restaurant called Fallen Star. She was dressed in a long, black silk dress which had a corset lace up back. She smiled and waited for her beloved. She wore her engagement ring happily. Elstan checked her hair in the mirror. She had curled it and put it up in a high bob that came over her left shoulder. She heard the distance sound of a motorbike and she smiled warmly.

The hum of Yazoo's motorcycle slowly died down as he pulled to a stop in front of the Fallen Star restaurant. He had been contacted by Elstan and instructed to come here, and had no intentions of passing this up. The restauraunt, however, required formal attire, something this Remnant was far from used to.

He was clad in an ebony tuxedo, with a matching colored tie around his neck. As fancy as he may look, it was obvious he was uncomfortable. With a sigh, he killed the engine, and strode inside.

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan noticed how uncomfortable Yazoo looked when he walked in. "You might as well get used to it now because the wedding will be formal." she whispered as they were shown to their table. Elstan took her black sequined shawl off and put it ont he back of her chair and sat down. "You look wonderful hon." she smiled and squeezed his hand in reassurance.

Yazoo chuckled awkwardly, adjusting his tie with a finger."Thank you, love. I must say, you look beautiful." He gave her a soft peck on the cheek before following the waitress to their table. The lighting inside was dimmed, illuminated only by the single candles atop each table.

"Shall we?" A small smile played at the corners of his mouth, and he extended a hand to his beloved. Even if he was uncomfortable, and the amount of people in the restaurant made him paranoid, happiness still made his heart light. As long as Elstan was here, he would enjoy this time.

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan saw a rich family out of the corner of her eye. The children were cowering at the sight of Yazoo. She just smiled and fixed her cat like eyes back on her fiance. A waitress came up. "Is this night special?" she asked. Elstan smiled. "We're celebrating our engagement." the silver haired assassin said, not taking her eyes off Yazoo. The waitress left and came back with the most expensive bottle of champagne. "On the house and congratulations." she said and walked off for menus.

[Deleted]

Yazoo's green eyes flicked briefly to where the rich family was seated, seeing the children cowering at the sight of him. No matter. He told himself firmly, giving his head a single shake. Nothing is going to ruin this.

He took a seat at their indicated table, nodding his thanks to the waitress who had brought the champagne. He poured himself and Elstan a glass before setting the bottle back down. "A toast, to the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. He said softly with a smile, raising the glass.

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan blushed a little bit. "And to the most handsome man I've ever seen." she added and chinked her glass against his. She took a sip the set her glass down. 'Oh no.' she thought as she saw an old school enemy. The up her own backside blond saw her. She sneered and withing seconds Elstan had the girl pinned to a nearby wall. Her eyes were wild and she felt the pain in her right shoulder as the wing so desperately wanted to break free.

[Deleted]

Surprise briefly colored Yazoo's face as Elstan, quick as a flash, had pinned a blond woman to a nearby wall. By the look on each of their faces, he could tell that they were old enemies. Why must these things happen, tonight of all nights? He grumbled inwardly, rising from his seat and walking over to where Elstan was. "Elstan..." He warned quietly, cat-like eyes darting to the crowd that had gathered. "What happen-" A flash of heat accompanied by violent pain overtook his body. No... no, no not tonight. He moaned inwardly, already beginning to feel his body begin to change.

"I... have to go." He said, voice wavering between his own voice, and one not seeming to belong to him. His gaze read follow me, and I'll tell you in a bit. He took off at a quick walking pace and quickly pushed open the restaraunt doors. Once outside, Yazoo vanished into the shadows of a nearby alleyway, and collapsed.

So the mutations never wore off, even if he'd been able to revert back to his original form. Good to know. He felt the horrid rush of heat as his single wing snapped out, and the feathers dissolved into nothingness, leaving only a bony frame. His fingernails once more extended into long claws of bone, and his teeth elomgated and sharpened to a point. Finally, his pupils dialated into nothing again, leaving only the green irises.

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan followed and saw him she knelt beside him and gently moved some hair out of his eyes. She pressed her lips against his and slowly kissed him. Her actions were telling him 'I'm sorry and no matter what you look like I will always love you'. Elstan helped him up and held him close. Tears welled up in her eyes and she cried softly.

[Deleted]

Yazooo let out a sad, shaky sigh, seeing her reaction. She was crying because of what that madman had done to him. She was hurt, all because of his carelessness. "I'm so sorry..." He murmmured, pupil-less eyes reflecting saddness. "I..." He cut off, grimacing at the memories that rushed back into his brain.

He allowed himself to be helped up as Elstan stood him up and wrapped her arms around him. Looking down his his own hands, he hesitated to do the same. The curved, razor sharp claws adorning both of his hands could end up hurting her if he tried to return the embrace. "So now you know." Yazoo's odd voice was choked with grief. "If you want to know, I will tell you how it happened."

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan sighed. "We'll do it over dinner." she sighed and took his hand, hoping that her touch would calm the mutations down. She got back to the table and her enemy was complianing but the staff refused to kick Elstan and Yazoo out due to Elstan's....Fear ranking. She sat down and held her head in her hands, trying to take it all in. "Sephiroth will pay for this. I will make sure of it." she said. He was definatly crossed off the guest list. She sighed and looked at Yazoo.

[Deleted]

"No... this was not Sephiroth's doing." Yazoo murmmured, voice only audiable to Elstan. His skin prickled uncomfortably at the eyes staring at his mutations. Yeah, he looked like a freak, but did people really have to stare? "In fact, he had absolutely nothing to do with it." Another shudder passed through him as he recalled the memories. "What happened was not my doing, but still my fault."

The waitress was back once more, shrieking at Yazoo's new form. Her hand quavered as she struggled to keep her grip on her notepad. "Is... there something I can get you?" She choked out, obviously trying to keep her voice from rising to hysterical. "Water." Yazoo said simply, avoiding her gaze as she hurried off.

Once she had left, he continued. "Do you remember when I went missing for a few days after going into the Icicle Area? Well, I got into a bit of... trouble there." He snorted with dry, humorless laughter. "More than trouble, really."

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan sighed and shook her head. She grasped his hands in hers lovingly. "I love you Yazoo and no matter what you look like, nothing can change my feelings for you." she smiled. She got up and walked to his side of the table and pulled him to her in a deep, passionate kiss. Dhe pulled away after a few blissful minutes and the waitress came back with Yazoo's water and to take their orders.

[Deleted]

Yazoo let out a long, blissful sigh as Elstan pulled him into a kiss. At least his new grotesque form didn't drive her away. In fact, it almost seemed to bring them closer. Elstan seemed ready to prove that his mutations didn't change her feelings in the slightest bit.

With a nod to the waitress, he accepted the water and took a small sip before setting it back down. "What looks good to you?" He asked, gazing down at the newly arrived menus. "Get anything you want. I'm buying."

[Elstan Shadow]

Elatan gave him a playful glare as Yazoo mentioned he was buying. "Hey I invited you, remember?" she smiled. She ordered a lamb shank. Her foster parents used to make it for lunch on a sunday and it was Elstan's favourite. She also ordered a bottle of red wine to go with it. Elstan smiled as she looked at Yazoo. Every time she looked at her her heart missed a beat.she cleared her throat and blushed so pretended to fix her hair.
