~ZACK X AERITH: THE RIBBON THAT TIES US TOGETHER~
I remember the first time i ever saw her face, it was after waking up,
i had passed out after a fight and fell a long way, miraculously i survived,
though i think i have her to thank for that. At any rate i knew the minute i
set eyes on her that she was the most beautiful person i had ever met or will
ever meet after that point. Her eyes were the most startling emerald green, not
like mine which were infused with mako energy, but pure green eyes that swept me
away like the sea. her hair a forest of brown strands, so beautiful to the sight
as to the touch, so sot and delicate alot like the girl herself. It was strange to
find such beauty anywhere in this war-filled world that seemed untouched by sadness.
So striking was she that she made me forget my own hurt and pain the minute my eyes
set themselves on her.
her smile was like something from a godess. it made my heart flutter and me go giddy,
or was that my weakness from waking up? its likely i would never know but for poetic
license lets say it was because of her. Id like to presume so anyway and its me thats
telling you this story so youll have to deal with it or leave now. it took me around
ten minutes to even talk to her, i just sat there staring until i eventually muttered
"hello" i cursed myself, im usually cooler than this, so i tried again "Hey... my names
zack whats yours?" even that was pathetic but it was the best i could hope for and it
seemed to have gone down rather well as not long after she giggled and answered my question
"Aerith" she looked at me for a short while and then looked at my own eyes. Youre in soldier
huh?" "Yeah" i answered immediately hoping she wasnt one of those people who despised soldier
and what they stood for.
From the lack of disgust in her eyes he would be hopeful to guess she wasnt. "That means you
can look after me now mr soldier" she giggled that laugh was beginning to be the most wonderful
thing he had ever heard. "Well im sure any guy would give his right arm to protect someone as
beautiful as you, heck im sure even someone like me would... would..." i faltered i had just put
myself in an awkward position, how was i going to complete my mission if i had to look after a
civilian? but something told me i should do this one thing, just in case, i mean what if someone
hurt her? wouldnt it be the reason he became soldier? to stop that happening? it was settled
after an argument with himself that had lasted near enough ten miutes, she just sat there
smiling serenly as she tended to the flowers, this was a rare and bautiful sight indeed, he
hadnt seen flowers since he joined soldier, yet these miracles of nature were shadowed by her
plentiful beauty.
"ok seeing as i am in soldier i guess its more than my duty to protect you" he told her, a sly
thought forming in his head. "but, it will cost you" "oh" she looked upset, he wished he hadnt
said that now "i havent got any gil, but..." she said the smile returning "ill tell you what,
if you protect me ill go on a date with you" suddenly he was very glad he had mentioned a price
because he sure as hell wouldnt have thought she would accept a date with him. it was like a
dream, in fact he had to pinch himself to make sure he wasnt dead or dreaming. "hmm" he said
acting like he was thinking it over "now ill Tell you what, the price for my protection will
be a date, and every time i have to save you from a monster you will owe me a kiss on the date"
"Mr soldier" she started but zack interrupted "call me zack" "Ok, Zack, if you wanted a kiss
why didnt you just ask?" before zack could answer, her soft lips touched his, and suddenly
nothing existed to him but these lips and the angel they were a part of.
after a few seconds that felt like seven sunlit days their lips parted, Zack stared,breathless,
at her before closing the inch distance between them and kissed her, slightly more pressure
behind it than the one before but zack was doing well to control himself, her lips were so soft,
her hair and face so beautiful and her skin so wonderful to his touch that he was quickly losing
his mind in the pleasure he was being given. their arms wrapped themseves around the others body,
their tongues now intertwined in an intimate dance of their own, from the way she was reacting to
him it would be safe to say she liked him the same way he liked her. their bodies pressed together
as they lay in the soft grass inbetween the flowers, he ran his fingers through her hair as she
caressed his muscles and it was there that at the same time they uttered the three words
"I LOVE YOU"
