Forms of Passion
Hate, anger, love, desire and many more, these are all the passions that swallow the brothers daily. Zidane hates when he cannot protect his family and friends, it makes him impassioned with a need to keep them safe. It angers Zidane when he fails, for he sees what his weakness causes, pain and death. Zidane desires peace for it is his greatest wish, to lay his arms down forever. While he loves his family and friends with an intense passion, he would sacrifice all he has for them.
Kuja hates when he is reminded of everything he did to cause his brother pain. It angers him that he allowed such a man as Garland to manipulate him. Kuja desires to forget and to never do what he has done before, a chance for redemption. He loves his games and memories with his brother, it shows him he is aloud to keep living even if he does not deserve it.
Their family is a passionate one, they speak with great earnest on the things they believe. Zidane sharpens his blades with his wit which is often excitable to protect all he cares for. Kuja thinks emotionally, rationalizing by the stems of infliction that make him bite his lip and fist his hands. Those that do not know them says Zidane is a fool and Kuja is apathetic. This is true to some point, but only in the eyes of others.
Zidane fights for others, for those close to his heart and those that cannot defend themselves. He sees himself idealistically as a hero to those he associates with, his friends support this notion for he has a hero’s heart. Zidane is quick to pick up his blades at any injustice, he feels that there should be justice for all, no matter who they are. He fights for children, and those cast to the gutter. Zidane is passionate about this and does not give an inch when it comes to what he fights for, people and peace.
He speaks loud and clear, his voice carries over the din and silences it. Zidane talks quick, his ideas a rush flooded with emotion. He is the epitome of vibrant and vivacious, for his words convey all that he is and could be. Zidane does not mince words, he speaks his mind, even if it causes him trouble.
Zidane loves completely, with all that he is, and all that he could be in the future. He gives himself over for a friend, and sacrifices himself for family. Zidane is quick to support those who ask it of him, he does not stop to think. He may be a fighter, but his heart is that of a lover, loyal and true.
Kuja fights his past and the idea that he once was, and does not want to be again. He fights against the shades that overhang his bright future that could shadow him and his family. The darkness threatens to consume him, but he does not allow it, not anymore. Kuja fights for himself, but not selfishly, because if he does not then the darkness would descend, so he struggles feverishly so it may disperse. In that aspect it is clear that he fights for others as well.
He speaks softly and coldly, his passion hidden behind frosted emotion. For Kuja is afraid that if he speaks loud and passionately that those he harmed will turned on him or confuse him with his brother. Kuja knows that words hold a dreadful power, especially for a mage, he has seen the power that words carry. So he speaks gently and cautiously as not to harm or invoke that which he cannot stand against.
Kuja loves cautiously and calmly, his passion simmering just below the surface. He does not push or tread where he shouldn’t, though he loves wholly as well. When he is committed then he is committed, there is no middle road for him, he is selfish that way. Kuja loves when he sees his brother happy, it means he made the right choice to fall before his brother. He is gentle in his way, unassuming with a bruised heart of his own volition. Kuja loves because he must, it is the only thing that he can offer that is not tainted by his past.
They both can be hot-headed when it comes to things they care about, even if they show it different ways. Beliefs they now carry that has the zealous streak written in them, neither Zidane nor Kuja deny this. Though while Zidane prefers the passionate happiness he swamps himself in, Kuja loses himself in passionate grief, so silent and so complete.
