¡Author's Note Contains Spoilers! Do not read if you have not finished the game!
Okay, I just go a spurt of slight inspiration on one of the nights that I didn't have homework. This is a KratosxAnna fic, my favourite couple in the whole game. I absolutely despise the KratosxRaine pair; so if you like it, don't shoot me for hating it. Also, please just give me constructive critism.
Anyways, for those of you who talked to Kratos in Flanoir (after saying no to the three people who like you best and that make you feel bad for rejecting them), you should know the entire Kratos and Anna story. This takes place before the actual game, when Kratos and Anna were on the run from Cruxis. This takes place at the inn in Hima. Um, I think that's all worth mentioning.
Note: It's all dialogue, cause my descriptions of Kratos don't do him justice. Also Anna starts the dialogue.
"Why don't you do that more often?"
"Do what more often?"
"Smile."
"I suppose I've never really had anything to smile about."
"Why not?"
"There are things that I have done and seen that are to horrible for anyone to smile about them. There is too much sad. Too much sad to smile."
"Don't let the past haunt you. You should smile more often."
"What should I smile about? You've seen things nearly as terrible as I have seen, yet you still smile. Why?"
"There is always something to smile about."
"Like what?"
"I smile for you. I smile because I love you."
"I suppose you're right. I should smile because I love you."
"That's right. That looks better. You look different when you smile."
"Do I?"
"Mmm-hmm. But it's a good different."
"How do I look different?"
"Your face soften, and your eyes aren't as severe looking. You relax, and I don't have to look deep to see the person I fell in love with."
"Do I really have such harsh features normally?"
"I wouldn't say harsh…more like…penetrating."
"Penetrating?"
"You're so serious; and your eyes, when you look at me, seem to see into my soul. You're mysterious. Maybe that's why I was intrigued by you."
"I see into your soul?"
"Yes. It seems like you can. When you do, what do you see?"
"I see a good person, who is strong-willed and who can do anything she wants. I see someone who is stubborn and fights for what she believes in."
"Is that all?"
"No. Besides what I just said, I also see a nice person. A gentle, caring person. A person who is willing to give anyone a chance to love her, even if they don't deserve to."
"You deserve me."
"No I don't."
"… Is that all you see?"
"No, I also see the person who was stupid enough to fall in love with a person as pitiful as me."
"You're not pitiful."
"You don't know that."
"I know it. I can feel it."
"Maybe I'm not as pitiful as I thought, but I'm still pitiful."
"That's better."
"What is?"
"You smiled. You smiled at yourself. I sense hope for you."
"I guess I'm more soft-hearted than I led myself to believe."
"Don't harden your heart…ever."
"Will you help me not to?"
"Only if you promise to smile more often."
"I promise."
"Then…I guess I promise too."
Fin.
Yeah, that's all. I hope you liked it. It's not my best work, but it's hard to get into Kratos' character. Please review!
Thanks!
