To say he was surprised would have been an understatement when he heard Sephiroth had let her go, but it was honestly the farthest thing from his mind now. He'd wonder why later.

She had been so short in her words over the device, barely asking to meet with him, that he almost outwardly panicked. He'd wasted no time running off to meet her, even if he did find it troublesome how far she was from him. He'd done so much running around the past amount of time, but after things had settled, he'd been at a loss of what to do. Unfortunately, he'd never found Tifa when she ran off, and in Aerith's case he'd ultimately been at a loss.

Thus, the fact she'd just been let go and he could go find her was... almost too convenient. Way too perfect and easy despite the emotional angst, and so he worried what had transpired and knew he would worry until he found her. And probably worry some more after that, too. Worry about why Sephiroth had let her go. Then, why he'd taken her in the first place. And somewhere in the back of his mind, he'd ( ... )

Aerith's dulled green gaze fell onto Zack upon hearing him calling out her name. The sight of him caused a sense of longing to slip over her heart, and before she knew it she was being held tightly in his arms, sobbing freely into his shoulder. Both of her hands were pressed firmly against his chest, his heartbeat pulsing directly under her right palm. She felt safe, much safer pressed up against him...but it didn't help ( ... )

She was okay.

She was alive, and an emotional mess, but at least she was okay.

Physically, anyway.

Zack tried to verbally calm her once, see if she would look at him and maybe tell him what happened, but was quick to realize that none of that was going to happen. And so he just held her, letting Aerith cry as much as she needed, listening and let it sink in so heavily what had transpired. He let her go, but had obviously traumatized her a good deal more than Zack would have expected with circumstances in the city having been the way it were not long after her capture. The thing was, Aerith said he hadn't hurt her. So, what exactly did he say to her that-

-them? Zack found he was just as surprised by her statement as hearing her voice now. Them. Then for the first time, and he wasn't quite sure why he hadn't noticed before, he realized her ribbon was missing. It took him a moment, a long hard and pressing moment to register this. The ribbon was gone. He'd taken some things from her ( ... )

Her eyes closed as the soft pressure of his lips met her forehead. It was a comforting gesture, something her mother used to do when she wasn't feeling up to scratch. The memory and the feeling of Zack being close immediately allowed her to relax. Aerith sighed, both hands moving from his chest to lightly rest at his sides. She was grateful that he had rushed over immediately to come and get her. She honestly wouldn't have made it back home on her own and to know that the little things he did showed he cared helped more than she'd want to admit to him ( ... )
