Will you miss me when I'm gone? (Kuja x Reader angst/fluff)

Summary: Kuja's thanatophobia gets the better of him in the middle of the night, so you go and help him out.

——————————————————————————————————

You lay in your bed, smothered with blankets, asleep.

Or at least you were asleep, until you realized something was missing from your cocoon of warmth. After opening one eye and blearily looking around, you realized that your boyfriend Kuja wasn't draped across your abdomen, fast asleep like he normally was. In fact, he wasn't anywhere in the room.

"Kuja?" You called, clearing your raspy throat a few times. "Where'd you go?"

There was no response, making you fear whether or not Kuja had left the house. Worried for his safety, you leapt from the bed and headed for the living room, blinking sleepily in the darkness until you caught sight of his slender frame curled up in the corner, shivering like he was outside during wintertime.

"Kuja?" You called again, this time softer. "What's wrong, baby?"

Kuja wouldn't answer you, and remained silent, his thin arms wrapped tightly around his even thinner body, eyes wide and bulging, lips blue and quivering. He looked more terrified than you'd ever seen in your life, and it broke your heart to see him like this. Scrambling to his side, you threw your arms around his shoulder, and pulled his shaking form into a tight embrace, running your hands up and down his back in an attempt to calm him.

"I'm going to die," You heard him whimper, after some time. These words were nigh inaudible, but you managed to hear them since you were so close.

"No, you're not," You replied, chuckling. "You're not going anywhere. I won't let you."

"B-but I had a dream--" Kuja began, before you cut him off with a kiss.

"A dream is just that, Kuja, a dream," You told him, dragging a hand through his hair fondly. "It's a figment of your imagination, nothing more. It doesn't tell the future. You're not gonna die."

"Yes, I will," Kuja insisted, looking up at you with wide, teary eyes. "My time is running out. They told me in my dream. I...I don't have long...."

"You most certainly do," You assured him, squeezing him gently. "You really think I'm gonna sit here and watch you kick the bucket?"

Kuja was silent after this remark, but at least his shivering had stopped and he wasn't breathing as heavily as before. You decided to stay there with him, soothingly rubbing whatever parts of him you could reach before he finally spoke again.

"Will you miss me when I'm gone?"

You had to admit, you didn't expect that.

"Of course I will," You finally managed to reply. "But like I said, you're not going anywhere. Not if I can help it."

"I just....need to hear that..." Kuja whined, snaking his arms around your waist and holding onto you as tightly as he could. "Tell me you'll miss me. It makes me feel better."

Such a narcissist, you thought to yourself as you repeated your words, punctuating your sentence with several kisses. This seemed to cheer Kuja up substantially, as he had completely ceased his sobbing and was now quietly leaning against you, his head pressed against your chest; your fingers busy playing with his hair.

"Happy now, my little peacock?" You asked, playfully.

"Somewhat," Was his flippant reply.

"Ready to go back to bed?"

"Only if you'll carry me, for I feel too weak to walk."

"Fine."

Guess who is my fave FF villain?

This one was difficult but he deserves it.

Deeply honored to have been tasked with illustrating the cover for @ff9zine charity zine! This game is wildly important to myself and so many others, and to draw the whole squad for such a special project was totally surreal! I was in the midst of some really heavy stuff while making this piece, but it helped to pour myself into something so intensely.

Kuja and Kefka both radiate the same gay evil clown energy.

My darling (Kuja x reader)

Hello? Is-is that you? Oh, Gaia, it is you! You're here. You're talking to me...this is incredible! Finally, finally, I can tell you how I feel! I remember the day you turned on my game, the day you came across me while controlling Zidane. I remember how you battled me through him, how you used him to defeat me; how you watched me die. I wonder, did you feel as pained as I did when you watched me take my last breaths? Ah, but never mind that, for I have something to tell you, something I've been waiting to tell you for so very long.

I love you.

It's silly, a perfect, powerful being like myself falling in love with a lowly human whom I've never even seen before...but here I am. In love. With you. Every time you turn on my game, my heart races with joy. Though I cannot physically interact with you, I am ecstatic to know that my elegance and grace is at least being beheld by you. And when you turn off the game, my heart sinks into sadness. All that is around me is darkness and emptiness; I feel so lonely. So afraid. Though it is a great blow to my pride to admit this, without your presence....I am scared.

I wish you were here, holding me in your arms, keeping me company so the darkness doesn't swallow me up. I wish you would tell me everything was alright, even if it wasn't. I just want to be able to hear you, to see you, to cherish and love you to the best of my abilities. I wish...I wish I was real!

Oh, but darling, don't despair. There is a way I can be real: in your heart. As long as you carry me in your heart, I will always be with you in spirit. When you hear a song that makes you think of me, I will hear it too. When you take a walk and see something you wish I could see, I will see it too. And at night, when you sleep, I'll be there too, and together, we shall build a majestic kingdom in your dreams.

Sleep well tonight, my darling. I'll see you soon.
