Cloud stormed into the hospital, only for Reno to look up and jump in front of him.
“Whoa, whoa, hold it, yo. Let me tell you some shit.”
“Are you sure?” Cloud demands, his eyes burning. “Are you sure it’s him?”
The redhead nodded slowly, his usual attitude set aside when he noticed the intensity of Cloud’s expression.
“It’s him. We’re sure.” He grabbed Cloud’s shoulder to keep him still. “Just hold on, let me explain.”
Cloud stared at him with heavy impatience. “Zack is--,”
“He doesn’t remember anything!” Reno hadn’t meant to snap it out quite so bluntly, but he’d wanted to get the words out. When he saw the shock on Cloud’s face, though, he felt a little bad.
“Look, it’s normal. You should know that. Just... go easy.” Reno shrugged. “We’re all having to deal.”
Cloud throat felt swollen and he tried to swallow. He took a few steps back from Reno.
Zack didn’t remember...
I said I’d live out both out lives. Easy to make that promise.
I said I would never forget.
But I did.
The gods sure had a thing for fucking with him. What goes around really did come around, after all. Cloud shook his head.
“I don’t care.” He said finally. “I want to see him.”
Reno nodded and slowly lead him toward one of the hospital rooms.
The door opened and Cloud’s heart pounded. He was scared to look. He was scared to see him... after all this time. He was scared it wouldn’t be real.
“Hey big guy,” Reno said. “You have a visitor.”
Cloud raised his head to look into the room. His eyes landed on a familiar face and his heart felt like it stopped altogether.
Zack...
