"On the wings of angels, you don't have to worry about anything, just live and survive."

"Mira, about the advice you gave me... How are you a guardian angel to me?" Cloud asked the wavy dark brunette. "Inside you, I live. I live in your soul, your heart." Cloud slowly pressed his fingers to where his heart was beating and looked down.
Mira wanted to say something to him before it would be too late, if Fate would take a hold of her and she would become like his two best friends. "If you ever need me, call on me, for my wings will hold you, protect you. And you can fly to where there is only peace and happiness."
His mako eyes looked into her dark brown human eyes and thought he saw the glow of a golden halo or the white glow of a feather. He looked up and saw a feather falling down. Between his thumb and index fingers, he held the end of the soft white feather.
It wasn't any other one he had seen. It felt like it was filled with some sort of power, a power of all that was pure. From the feather and back to Mira, his eyes moved back and forth between them.
After the fight between Kadaj's gang not too long ago, a few weeks ago, he felt at some peace, letting go of the pain of the past. Sure Tifa had told him many times to let it go, but with Mira it was different. She held a softness in her eyes, in her smile, in her actions.
Unlike Tifa, whom was physically strong, Mira was strong in the mind and in the spirit, like an angel, somewhat like Aeirth. Mira walked up to Cloud and placed her soft hand on his cheek. In fact her touch was so light, it felt like the slight brush of the wind against his skin.
No one could have that soft of a touch. In her, Cloud saw love, kindness, grace and mercy. Her white skin seemed to glow, no matter if it was dark or light.
Had an Angel from above touched her, granting her the elegance of one of the heavenly beings, and sent her to find him? If so, he found her instead, being surrounded by the enemy he fought 2 to 3 years ago. How beautiful she still was from that one day!
Her soft pink lips lightly placed a kiss on his other cheek, close to the side of his mouth. Cloud's blue orbs stared into her browns and felt like he was on air. He then said into his mind as he wrapped her into a hug, I'll cherish you like I have cherished before, and a little more than a friend.
I'll protect you even if you give your all to save me. And he didn't know if he said it aloud or not, but either way he said,'I love you, Mira. And I want to protect you as well.'
