I am a Hero!
After she had pulled away from his lips, her eyes had met with his and looked into him very lovingly. “A-and.. I love you too Zack..” To hear those words being heard from his lips, it was something Aerith was waiting for the longest time. Never thought today would be the day. A faded blush now found on her cheeks. “..Y-you didn’t have the courage before you left? How come, Zack?” She asked, feeling a bit curious on why he felt like that.
Zack smiles softly at her his eyes shining into hers at the moment. When she says she loved him back he was astounded and shocked. He had always hoped she did but he never expected it..this much. “Well aerith. After I helped you build the cart and I did all those things for you I really wanted to. I had the courage but since I was leaving to go away… what was maybe going to an forever I couldn’t. I was hoping in telling you when i got back. When I left I was thinking not telling you would make it so if I didn’t return you would not get devastated when you found out. I regretted that decision when the messenger you sent with letters arrived at where I was finally and…i knew I had messed up. Though I didn’t cry openly on the inside I knew I made a mistake…” he says going in to kiss her again “but today I don’t want to look back at my near death. Today I just want to be with you aerith..x
It had felt so wonderful and.. amazing to tell those same feelings in return to, Zack. How could she could not say she loved him? When it was the utter truth? Those feelings had never unchanged from the time that he was gone. He probably had thought she had moved on and found a new love. Not a chance. Zack always seemed to wander through out her mind, each day that she lived. He was someone.. that could not be easily forgotten - especially he was the main reason for starting to sell those flowers. “Ooh.. I see..” Aerith said while she listened to his words and gazed down at the floor board of the church.
There were often times.. where she had felt that he would not return back to her.. for whatever reason. Even her friends in the slums had mentioned that something might of happened to him. Or his death. That was something she did not want to hear. Those thoughts.. she had tried her best to shoo them away and not to think so.. negatively even if she was worried about him greatly. “I did wonder.. if you received any of those eighty-nine letters that I wrote since.. I don’t believe got any back in return. But.. that’s okay.. what matters you are here now.” She said in a soft tone and felt his lips press to hers, for a soft kiss. In return, she kissed him back gently. “Guess that means.. we’ll spend some time together then, for today?”
He remembers the letters and reading every single one. He had so many feelings being here at this moment with the girl he thought he left behind. All he ever thought about after leaving her here alone was of her. How she was doing. How she was feeling...how beautiful she was. He knew if he died she would never know... something he didn't want to happen. As he listened to her he just thought back to the time before he left...the flower cart. The three different ones he made for her. He remembers being in the park trying to sell the flowers.
He never brought her up to cloud as he never asked. He usually talked about other things while they were running from shinra. "You didn't get any in return because I wasn't able to send any. I tried many times. I just wish I had managed to get at least one out to you." He says as they kiss and he holds her close while kissing.
"Not just for today. I am staying as long as you want me too" he says "so what shall we do?" He asks smiling softly
