I think you've changed more than you think, Zack.

[ But she pauses, turning around to look at him, her dress fluttering around her heels. Slowly, her hands lift and they press against her stomach, gently hovering. ]

I think... We grew up.

[Ahhhh no, he doesn't like that. He doesn't like it at all. With a quick stride towards her he reaches out and takes her hands away from her stomach, lifting them to kiss both, then wraps his arms around her again, holding her close. He'll probably make a mess of his shirt from the ink but he doesn't care, he can't not hug her after that.

They all have their own scars to bear, and just because he's covering his up doesn't mean what caused them isn't painful. Same goes for her, and Cloud.]

Growing up is terrible, I don't like it, [he mumbles, his breath shaky against her hair.] But I guess part of it's... talking about your problems when you need to, right?

[Not when you want to, because god knows he never does. But.]

[ Aerith is quick to lift herself up and wrap her arms around Zack, tilting herself close with a soft smile. Being around Zack always makes her feel better, but even as she cuddles up to him she's careful to make sure that she doesn't press too painfully against his tattoos, not when he's just got them.

Lifting her hand, she presses it into the back of his neck, curling around him gently and humming quietly. ]

It was easier, before, I think. [ But she shakes her head. ] But I'm glad. Growing up... It means we got to survive, just for a little bit longer.

[wingenvy]

[A little bit longer... it's heartbreaking to hear it said, but it's the truth. They both died way too young for any of this to be fair.]

I think it's worth it. This, I mean. Having this.

[Having her with him, having Cloud with them both, too. It means the world to him.]

[asphodels]

I think so as well.

[ They're gone at home, but here... Here they're okay. Whenever she wants to she can go and find Zack or Cloud and be with them, and that's amazing. ]

I'm really happy.
