"You'll be my living legacy…."

With a sharp gasp the blonde sat straight up in his bed. His head pounded and being hot and sweaty didn't help either. It had been years since that day. A day that Cloud Strife would never forget. His blue eyes turned and stared out the window. It was still night out, but now he knew for sure he wouldn't be able to sleep. Sleepless nights came to him more and more often now. He didn't know why he was having these nightmares of his best friend right now and then he didn't know how to stop them.

Shaking his head Cloud stood and sighed heading out of his room and down the hallway to the living room below. He looked around before finally sitting down on the couch staring at the blank TV, "His Legacy…." He hummed to himself before shaking his head and closing his eyes. When the two of them weren't on missions they were talking about all the things they wanted to do. Zack's main thing, he wanted Those wings. He often told him of his Angeal and basically how awesome of a person he was.

Angeal had Those wings and Zack wanted them some day. He wanted to be free Cloud guessed. Well he knew he defiantly got them, no question about it. But then again, would Cloud get those wings some day? He was so lost within himself he didn't know half of the time.

"Those wings…. I want them."

Cloud could hear his friend's voice ringing in his head as if he were standing behind him and whispering to them. Those last days Cloud never would forget. He often blamed himself for Zack dying that day. If hadn't had been so sick and so helpless… Maybe this day, this moment, and every second of his life would have been different. Maybe him, Zack, and Areith would have lived together happily with her growing flowers. Zack… never did get to see her one last time. Cloud made it his job to protector and he failed. So he wondered, Would he get Those wings?

"Hehe, Spike stop downing yourself. You'll get your wings some day…"

Cloud smiled to himself and shook his head wiping his eyes as small tears fell. One day, he would get his wings, he would see Zack again, and he would see Arieth and her flowers in all due time. But for now he had friends and a family that needed him. His Wings would have to wait a bit longer…

This is part of a challenge and such, I'm not really following the rules since it's to help me slowly get back into writing.

Sadly I do not own FF7
