Author Note: I was looking over the prompt in the KH journal and while putting butter on bread for maau, who had to go back to work in like five minutes, this popped into my head. xD I thought I'd try my hand and it totally didn't come out right, but it's okay? xD I'm not going to post it anywhere, it just nagged me until I got it out.
Summary: The Light is the cage of the bird...

Deplorable. It is simply deplorable.

To be consumed by darkness, to hear those words 'you don't want to be rid of me'... they rouse disgust and something else... something akin to recognition. It's deplorable to think that he's grown so accustomed to this song and dance that he's almost afraid to be rid of it. He may fight with all he has, he may banish it for a little while, but in the end, that glimmer of light is never strong enough to cage him for long.

That's it... it's a cage. The Light is a cage that keeps him locked away. Whenever he has these moments of peace, whenever he is free from the hold of darkness, he knows he is not truly free.

He watches from afar as they go about their day, as they make smiles and are filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy. He can't join them. He's afraid to. This fear, that only feeds the dark abyss that lies below this cage of Light, only exists when he's given a moment of reprieve, when the darkness seems to recede and his cage of Light glows brightly, fed by the faces and encouragement of his friends. This fear that, if he should get close, they may get hurt. If he should be around them, when the darkness emerges, he may not be able to protect them.

He hates such indecision. He hates the fact that he's actually chosen to allow his cage break, allowed the light to disperse and allowed himself to fall into that deep, dark abyss that strangles and taunts, that grasps his heart tightly within its claws and tries its best to capture him against all of his valiant attempts to ward it off, but he has come to the conclusion and though it makes him tremble to think he's accepted it, it's the only way.

The Light is the cage of the bird, the cage that keeps him from spreading his wings, befriending, living the life that his heart desires more than anything. The embrace of Darkness may seem like a terrible thing, but it only when the cage has broken does he spread his wing, does he feel the winds of Freedom and know that while he is battling, he will not be alone, watching from afar, but with those he considers comrades, fighting alongside him.

'You will never escape the Darkness, Cloud.'

No. He doesn't want to, but that doesn't keep him from reminding Sephiroth it's his choice to make. Exchanging his friends for peace? Not happening.
