[Cloud sounds more resigned than anything.]

For those of you who know Tifa, she was sent back home.

Walter, don't worry about the expansion to Seventh Heaven now.



[Locked to Zack and Aerith//70% Unhackable]

Tell me when's a good time to move my stuff down.

[Okay, any more of this and he's going to get even more pathetic. He claps Zack on the back and moves to collect his bags.]

Whatever. I guess this is good practice for when I have to tell her again. [Because he will be telling her again.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Zack shifts back, hands clasped on the top of his head.]

Hopefully just once, when we go back.

[Cloud tosses one over to Zack, feeling a little better already.] ...we could all go live in my beach condo. You, me and Aerith.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Haha! Tempting, but we don't need a big condo. You were gonna make it an orphanage, remember? It's better if the kids get spoiled.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

It's not all that big, but I guess you're right. Except for the hookers and the scammers, Costa del Sol's a good place.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Maybe we should clean up the place first. Make it a nice town again.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

...I think after we get back, I'd rather just...spend a few years quietly with the two of you. For a little while, anyway.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

...Can we travel? The three of us together, I mean. Get ourselves an airship, go wherever we want. I bet it would take a few years to see the world.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You'd be surprised how quick you could see the world once you put your mind to it.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Not to really see the world, though. I've been to a lot of places, but I never got to take my time or really enjoy it. Just think of how free we'd be! Come on, Spike!

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Airships are pretty expensive...we'd have to save up for a while to get one.

Or we could always just use my gold chocobos.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

.... [Sob.] Can we convince Cid to at least let us have a ride in one?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You convince him.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

...Ouch.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[He slings his bag over his shoulder.] Let's go.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Oh he'll totally be pouting about this one. But he follows without argument, bumping his shoulder to Cloud's. He's here for you, buddy.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Aww, shoulder bumps, just like middle school.]

What's with this "at arm's length" treatment you're giving me today? I'm not made of glass.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

It's nothing like that. But we're going back out, and you've always been so private about this.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Zack, I don't... [...that was a lie. He did care about what other people thought of him.

He pauses again, slipping on his boots at the door, and turned to brush his lips against Zack's, lightly.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Zack's brows lift at that; the move was unexpected, but as always not unwelcome. Now what was that all about?]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...is it selfish that I don't...want her to come back?

I don't- [want to break her heart again] ...want to see that look on her face again. I just...

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[...Okay, that deserves a hug, which he gets immediately.] It's not selfish. It's not wrong, either. It's not like you're saying you never want to see her again.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess.

...is this how you felt when Aerith kept leaving?

[Action]

[wingenvy]

...Probably. [It takes a long time for that hurt to go away.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Cloud enjoys that hug for a little longer before nudging Zack and finishing the action of putting on his boots.]

C'mon. I'm meeting Buffy in an hour for coffee, I gotta get my stuff down.
