The longer he remained here, the more real this world felt. And that was beginning to scare him. If only in the slightest. It wasn't one of those things where he felt...well, true fear. But a sense of discomfort. Who could have such power to alter his existence in one dimension to the next? If this were a dream, in all honesty, he would have preferred to wake up. Cloud didn't want to be a soldier anymore. He didn't want to fight in a massive war, for a planet that wasn't even his own. Above all else ( ... )

Aerith was too lost in her own thoughts to hear the door creak, but she did her Cloud's footsteps and his gasp. Turning quickly towards him, she grinned. "Cloud!" she jumped up from her seat and made her way towards him.

Gone were the years of worry, of watching him from the Lifestream and wishing she could comfort him, tell him the things she never got to say. All she knew was that it was him -- she could feel it. Aerith knew it was Cloud, her Cloud from her own world. There just was a connection there, even across the church. It almost felt like the first time they had met each other, to her at least.

He could have stepped forward, or moved back if he felt scepticle. But he was too lost in his state of shock to actually see her to move. Unless you counted him trembling only in the slightest. But you couldn't visibly see that. Unless you felt him. Cloud had time, it had been...two and a half years or so. He wasn't lost anymore. He had the strength to smile for himself and others again.

So why did he need the past thrust upon him so swiftly again? From the good and the bad points... Aerith Gainsborough and Sephiroth. The first person he'd want to see again and the last he'd ever want to face again. But this was what becoming stronger entailed. Facing the past and overcoming the hardships that complimented it.

Taking a couple of steps or so towards her, slow as if he were still in disbelief, his shocked expression softened some as he inched closer to her. It was like he was afraid that if she got closer, she'd also go farther away. If only Tifa and the others were here to see her again...

Aerith stopped herself before she barreled into Cloud, and extended her hands towards him, to grasp tightly. "Cloud," she said a little more softly. "You're really here?" she asked, in some shock that this was real after she finally found her voice. She wanted to hug him, to make sure this was all real, but for the moment...she felt that holding his hands would be enough.
