Peace
Chapter 1:
Finding
peace. (Contains
some Final fantasy crisis core spoilers, you've been warned!)
He
peered up at the blue sky over him, while the woman next to him
glanced at the flowers in front of her. Aerith enjoyed her lilies;
they meant the world to her. That had Zack sure experienced, he still
remembered the day when he had almost stepped on her flowers, and
Aerith had told her that normal people would be more careful around
the flowers. But he wasn't normal, for sure.
It seemed like Aerith liked this peaceful slum church, and she took good care of the flowers. The pink dressed woman had always felt something special for Zack, and even though he was a lot away from her, on missions, she still loved him as much as she would've done if he was around her all the time.
And then again, she wrote letters to him, so that gave her a feeling that she was closer to where he was than usual. Sometimes it felt like he hadn't been gone at all, and sometimes it felt like it took years for him to return to her, but she didn't complain. But her friend had been unusual quiet to day, and it wasn't like him at all.
"Something wrong?" she wondered and looked at him worried; he lifted his head and met her gazing eyes. He shook his head and tried to smile, but still there was something that did bother him. She could sense it, but she wouldn't start arguing with him, if he wouldn't tell her, then there was nothing to worry about at all. At least it seemed like there was no reason to worry.
"how's you day so far?" she wondered again, and Zack looked at her with curious eyes. He had spent most of his time so far in his own world, thinking, and nearly heard Aerith's low question. Zack raised a eyebrow, but had still his famous smile on his face.
"My day so far? Hmm…" he thought over it, nothing special had happened today so far… it was just a few hours since he had left his warm, cozy bed. He had hoped for 5 more hours, but Angeal had decided that it was time to get up.
"hey… hasn't something special happened?" Aerith wondered and smiled, Zack gazed at heaven again, she was right, noting special had happened today. It was a day like all the others, Genesis would spend his time reading Loveless, and the others would do what interested them. It was the same thing everyday, and Aerith did what interested her, she worked with her flowers. And prepared to sell them later.
"Nah, nothing special, it's the same as the other days…" he mumbled and smiled to Aerith. "How's your day been so far?" a huge grin covered her face as she heard his question. She hadn't thought he would ask her. The woman with the brown braid smiled and thought over it as well.
"I don't think something special has happened yet… pretty normal day for me too today, but I do have a feeling that something great is going to happen." Zack looked curiously at the female in front of the lilies and smiled. Something special, what did she mean?
"Something special, huh? Like what?" he wondered, and her grin widened. The woman nodded, and the dark haired man looked at her with an interested shine in his eyes.
"Just something special, I don't know yet, but I sense that there's something." Aerith smiled and looked up at the sky. It didn't really make sense to Zack, he didn't feel like there was something special coming up, but didn't bother to ask her anymore about it. His mako enchanted eyes looked up at the sky too, and saw the clouds that floated over them.
"Something special, huh?" he wondered and crossed his arms, but he mumbled low so Aerith didn't hear him. His eyes still peering up at the clouds.
"I did have a weird dream yesterday… but I don't think you want to know what happened… it was just a nightmare anyway" her green eyes glanced into his mako enchanted, and he looked curiously at her.
"oh come on, tell me!" he grinned and placed his hands on his hips. But she looked away and didn't look into his eyes again for awhile.
"You don't want to know anything about it!" Aerith shook her head, but he had no plans about giving up that easily.
"Please…" he begged, and she sighed.
"I dreamt that someone close to you was going to die…" her green eyes finally met his mako coloured again, and Zack bit his lower lip.
"Who?" he wondered, but she waved her hand like there was nothing to worry about.
"it dosen't matter, it was just a dream, right?"
