Again, there's that feeling that she really ought to remind him of Aerith. Still, he seems so... different from the last time she saw him. He was obviously out here originally to enjoy himself, rather than running around trying to find the Ancient and be with her, and it doesn't look like he's in any real hurry to go anywhere without the Turk. Has something else happened here at this hotel to change his predisposition from unavailable to something less exclusive
( ... )
Zack would rather not tell her about how this place had changed things around for him in regards to Aerith--he cared about her still of course--but he saw very little of her here, and he had been in this place for, well..he's pretty certain it was a year at least.
So when Cissnei gets a little bold and slides her arms around his middle, he doesn't fight her. He hadn't seen his friend in awhile either, but for a moment there, they had seen each other fairly often; more often than he saw Aerith by far.
He missed that. The feeling he got waking up to see Cissnei laying beside him still, or seeing her at any one time at all. So when she asks what she asks, Zack can't help but smile down at her. It wasn't wrong to hear that response of hers and like it, not when he knew how things worked here. Even if Aerith were here, she was enjoying someone else, and there were so many different versions and situations they came from that
( ... )
Cissnei, of course, has no memory of any of the things that Zack does. She still doesn't know what the hotel's true function is and she doesn't know that she's been here before. To her, Zack has been gone for almost a year and this is the first time she's ever held hands with him while they were off to the very loaded with implications location of his room. This is surreal for the young Turk, like inhabiting a dreamworld... one she knows in the depths of her soul that she prays she will never wake up from.
Her fingers lace securely with his while he leads her away from the public scene of debauchery and with surprisingly little effort, she keeps up with his longer strides despite his greater height. Adrenaline will do that to you, she absentmindedly muses, though honestly, her mind is much more preoccupied with what's going to happen once they arrive at his place to care very much about the mechanics of walking quickly.
Zack's already quick-beating heart seems to somehow beat all the faster as he leads Cissnei in the direction of his room. He doesn't say anything to her, though he does glance over at her every now and then. This place was picking at his feelings for her of which had grown in his experiences within the Hotel itself.
As tempting as it is to take her right now, Zack is still very much a 'behind closed doors' sort of guy, but when they reach his door, he just can't help pausing at it. Turning to face Cissnei, he murmurs something about feeling nervous and leans in and kisses her lightly on the lips.
Quickly the touch of his against hers firms up a bit as his free hand reaches behind him to open his door, the ex-SOLDIER making sure to still keep that sweet, soft contact between the two of them.
((Sooooo sorry this took longer than I realized! I live on the East Coast, and more specifically, Virginia. I had hoped to get to this sooner than I have now.))
