〈   002◞    ❛  CASSANDRA  .   〉

“   huh  ?   ”     the  sudden  voice  tears  cassandra  from  a  fog  of  thoughts ,  gaze  rising  from  the  ground  &  meeting  with  unfamiliar  emerald  eyes.   her  brow  drooped ,  crease  formed  in  her  frown.     “   i  mean—   nothing.   do  you  make  a  habit  outta  asking  strangers  WHAT’S  WRONG  ?   ”

❛   yup .  ❜          simple ,   sweet   &   to the point !          there was no need for it to be any other way .          smile only widens with her own response   &    there’s a hint of unmissable cheekiness there ,   something the brunette did nothing to stifle .          she straightens up from the slight bend stance was in ,   arms tucked happily behind her .         ❛   world’s a better place with less problems ,   don’t you think ?  ❜

⟨   unprompted◞    ❛  @lunsai​  .   ⟩ he sniffs the flowers, trying to figure out if they smell different or if people were lying about them having different scents. they just smelt like /flowers/ to him... his nose began to itch, and not long after he was having a sneezing fit right into his arm  --  when it was over, he proceeded to pout. "flowers are dumb."

a loud gasp from behind him   &   the girl was rushing over ,   planting herself at isa’s side with a choice pout of her own to rival his .          ❛   hey ,   s’ey are not !   ❜          defensive ,   but it was fading quickly   &   soon replaced with the bright optimism of someone with the confidence that she could change his view .          ❛   shh ,   don’t talk so loudly !          you might hurt s’eir feelings ,   you know .  ❜

aerith bounces a few steps away from him ,   bending at the waist to lean toward the bouquet just a little .          ❛   it’s okay ,   ❜          tone light ,   teasing ,          ❛   boys are just ...   dumb .   ❜

turning on her heels aerith suddenly reaches out to grasp the boy by the hand ,   beaming at him despite her prior words .          ❛   come with me !          if s’at’s really how you feel about flowers ,   s’en you must’nt’ve met my friends   ———   oh ,   my name’s aeri’s by the way .   ❜

[cetrennial]

〈   003◞    ❛  ZACK  .   〉

A smug grin tugs at the corners of his lips. “Y'like my muscles, eh? You can feel ‘em if ya want. Go ahead. I don’t mind.”

she scoffs a little ,   as if he’s ridiculous !          but aerith’s reaching for his arm anyway ;          brushing gentle fingers over a bicep .           ❛   ooh .   ❜          a hum ,   she approves !

[cetrennial]

saved a few outfits for aerith and i love her sm

[cetrennial]

she’s   flexing   her   arms   quite   proudly !      ❛   you   ever   wondered   why   they   call   me   GAINSborough ?   ❜

[cetrennial]

How   are   you   in   bed?

Aerith   is   a   virgin.

❛   hmm ,   interesting !   ❜

[cetrennial]

〈   001◞    ❛  ZACK  .   〉

“Wait, arms? How can arms be pretty? They’re just arms!”

❛   you   don’t   think   arms   are   pretty ?  ❜      she’s   laughing   into   her   hand   at   zack’s   bewilderment ,   tilting   her   head   to   one   side .     ❛   i   think   yours   are   pretty ,   they’re   so   muscular !  ❜

⟨   prompt◞    ❛  @promptek​  .   ⟩ ❝ i’m not going anywhere without you. ❞

the   feeling   she   felt ...      was   warmth .

it   was   one   she   knew   very   well ,   like   the   palm   of   her   hand ,   and   prompto   was   so   often   the   one   to   spread   it .      he   nurtured   her   ———   he   let   her   grow ;      bloom   into   someone   she’d   always   wanted   to   be .

important .      needed .      useful .

and   now ...      it   was   time   for   her   to   go .

to   pay   back   the   acutely   cultivated   and   curated   life   he’d   filled   her   lungs   with .

she   enveloped   him   in   a   dream ,   meeting   him   in   the   haze   of   sleep   as   he   lay   resting   and   she ,   knelt   in   prayer   far   away ,   prepared   to   openly   greet   the   arms   of   destiny .      she’d   leave   him   dreaming ...      leave   him   peaceful ,   just   those   few   minutes   more .

❛   but   what   if   i   have   to   go   someplace   special ?      somewhere   you   can’t   reach ?   ❜

words   passed   aerith’s   lips   in   a   hypothetical   sense ,   spreading   ease   and   wonder   instead   of   hinting   toward   something   more   finite.

❛   i’ll   always   be   there .      through   the   planet ,   no   matter   what ;      even   if   you   can’t   reach   me .   ❜

goodbyes   were   hard ;      she’d   ran   from   them   all   her   life .      her   mothers   death ,   being   caught   by   the   hands   of   the   turks ,   leaving   her   home   to   travel   the   world ...      she’d   never   said   goodbye ;      except ...

———   finales   were   just   so ...      final .      this   wouldn’t   be   the   end ,   no ,   far   from   it .      they’d   see   each   other   again ,   some   day .

❛   wherever   you   go ,   i’m   always   with   you .   ❜

⟨   prompt◞    ❛  @bloodlot​  .   ⟩ 🎀  Braiding her hair perhaps?  -  From Sephiroth

aerith   had   a   very   specific   way   she   usually   did   her   hair ...      it   was   easy   and   fun   and   a   little   joy   in   life   ———   something   that   made   her   feel   good   when   there   wasn’t   much   she   could   do   elsewhere   in   the   slums .      a   slice   of   productivity ,   of   a   routine ;      and   although   she   thoroughly   enjoyed   her   usual   look ...      sephiroth   had   such   pretty   hair !      how   could   she   say   no   when   he’d   asked   to   braid   it ?

so   here   she   sat ,   legs   folded   to   one   side   underneath   her   on   the   wooden   flooring   of   the   church ,   hands   idly   tending   to   her   garden   as   the   other   sat   behind   her   on   one   of   the   rickety   benches ,   fingers   slipping   through   brunette   strands .

❛   you’re   being   too   rough !   ❜      the   complaint   came   with   a   distinct   cheekiness   and   a   tone   that   told   it   didn’t   actually   bother   her ,   simply   toying   with   him   a   little   to   make   a   nuisance   of   herself .      ❛   when   you’re   done ,   do   you   think   i’ll   finally   look   as   pretty   as   you ?   ❜

〈   002◞    ❛  JESSIE  .   〉

〚 ❣ 〛 Jessie blushes in embarrassment at the callout, sweet as the voice is that carries it. “Sorry! Sorry, it was a total accident, I’ll make it up, I swear! Ehh…how much is it?”

❛   how   much ?   ❜      she   wonders ,   as   if   costs   weren’t   what   aerith   had   initially   had   in   mind .      she   lets   out   an   earnest   little   giggle   ———   more   at   her   own   sake   than   the   strangers .      ❛   just   a   gil   each .      pretty   pricey ,   i   know .  ❜
