It was funny; in the mix of everything, Zack found his own shaky nerves, too. Clothes were tried on, changed, tried on again, and his hair must have been worked at for a good half hour before all the spikes were trained to where they had to go. He brushed his teeth twice, gave an once-over six times, and finally, finally, stepped out the door ( ... )

As she waited for him to arrive, Aerith took a moment to look up at the sky. This whole moment felt incredibly surreal, like something out of a strange dream. The idea that they were both here, with breath in their lungs and beating hearts, was so extraordinary to her that she still had trouble believing it.

Aerith clasped her hands behind her to keep her fingers busy in an attempt to keep them to herself for now. She grinned as his fingers brushed against her cheek to tuck a curled strand of her hair behind her ear, and it took an enormous amount of self control not to reach up to hold his hand there.

"I haven't! Have you been practicing~?" She giggled, looking up at him through long eyelashes. "And it wouldn't be home without flowers, but I've got those covered. There's a garden already in full bloom behind my apartment building. I was busy when I was here last."

Aerith gave him a playful wink. "Oh, just for handful of years," she teased, leaning forward towards him a bit. "Though I'm glad you didn't make me wait those few extra minutes. Those would have been unbearableZack had been here a bit longer, but it seemed as if he'd adjusted fine. No doubt, given at least a couple more days, she would get the hang of it all. "I'm a little wary of this whole 'transforming into a weapon' thing, but I suppose there's no rush there ( ... )
