Author's Notes: I don't have any other up yet, but if you want to see the table and timeline of this series, here it is.
White surrounded him, nearly blinding him, as the flowers at his feet brushed gently against him from a wind that didn't even exist. He both loved and hated this part of the lifestream. On the one hand, he got see and talk to the two people he loved most. On the other hand, if he touched them or even moved too quickly, the dream ended.
"I'm sorry, Cloud. We never meant for you to be so lonely," Aeris whispered behind him, leaning her cheek against his shoulder. He wished he could lean back into her touch.
"Spike, we love you, but we're dead. Nothing is going to change that. If you want to honor us, then move on." Zack was standing in front him, an earnest expression on his face.
Cloud felt Aeris' lips moving, "We know how you feel about them."
Cloud shook his head, "And if Sephiroth comes back? Or another of Hojo's 'experiments'? Look what happened to Marlene and Denzel, and they're only the children I took in. I've already lost two lovers, I'm not putting two more in danger."
Zack snorted at him. "Riiight, Spike. Cid was in the military and has an attitude the size of Midgar. Vincent is an nearly immortal ex-Turk with several demons living in his head. I think they can handle themselves."
"I can't promise that Sephiroth won't come back, Cloud. But haven't you learned, already, that you can't fight him alone? You need people. You need something to fight for. Someone to fight for."
"Then I'll fight for my friends."
And hope it would be enough.
