“Cloud!” Sora ran to the blond man, delighted to see his friend again after nearly a year. The taller man leaned quietly against a nearby building, looking down at the boy through the veil of his bangs. “Cloud, it’s good to see you again! How are you?”
“Sora!” He replied, straightening. “It’s good to see you!”
“You, too! You just disappeared with Sephiroth, and we didn’t know what had happened to you or if we’d ever see you again!” Sora threw his arms out in exasperation. “You sure do know how to make a dramatic exit, you know that? It’s a miracle we weren’t all half blind after the blaze you guys set out in.”
Cloud smirked as he tossed back the front locks of his hair. “Yeah. I suppose Sephiroth always was good at that sort of thing.”
“Cloud?” Sora’s voice trembled as he looked up at the older man, who nodded once and smiled at him.
“Don’t worry, Sora.” He paused, raising a hand to rest across his lips, his other arm crossing his chest. “Did you find your light, Sora? I know you were looking for it, but I’m not sure you found it.”
“I did.” Sora smiled. He waited a moment, and then continued, “Did you?”
“Yes.” Cloud laughed, hand dropping away from his face. “It was the strangest thing. I hadn’t realized… Sora, tell me, did you know?”
“Know what?”
“That light and darkness are complimentary. Did you know?” Cloud’s seriousness confused Sora, who sent the blond a puzzled glance in return for his question. Cloud shook his head. “I never would have guessed that the reason my darkness called so strongly was because it was the only way to reach his light. Both… life needs both.”
“Ummm… okay?”
Cloud shook his head. “Never mind, Sora. I need to get going, but it was good to see you around. Come visit us again someday, all right?”
“Sure thing, Cloud!” Sora said, smiling up at him. The blond paused long enough to smile back before spreading his pair of wings and flying home.
