Summary: The things Cloud misses most about Aeris.
Author's Note: Okay, people this is my first serious fanfiction. I hope to hell you like it.
The wind rose, though he barely noticed at all. Cloud stared down the waterfall. Vincent had told him how beautiful this place was, but Cloud never really thought about coming here. Until now.
All the things she did for him. Hell, she died for him and if that isn't love he sure didn't know what it was. Okay, so she hadn't died exclusively for him only. In fact she died for the entire planet. Aeris was a savior, and the most beautiful savior at that.
The wind caressed him the way he amagined she would. The sun sank into a pit of nothingness, fallowed closely by his heart. Cloud was in love with an angel, and the most beautiful angel at that. She had ended what Shinra had begun. Sephiroth killed her as fate played it's part in the future of the world. Her life had ceased to exist as Shinra fell.
And Cloud's angel was gone.
Off in the distance children laughed. It made him remember how she laughed when Cloud had dressed up as a women to save Tifa. He would have done the same thing for Aeris in a heart beat, no reason needed. He do it again just to hear her laugh. Just one last time.
It wasn't the big things he missed, in time they seemed not to matter. It was the small things he missed from her. Her hair, eyes, mouth, everything about her. Most importantly was the way she trusted him. At the time he didn't trust anyone. Then she came along and changed all that.
Cloud can't imagine the rest of his life without her. Aeris was the angel he was meant to be with. But she was gone. In heaven, where all angels should be. It's not the big things he missed, it was the small things. All of them.
All the small things.
