He turned and twisted. His face filled with beads of perspiration. He couldn't sleep. He lay on his bed , cold and sweaty. He could not sleep. No , he couldn't sleep without her in his arms.

She was his everything.

She was Aerith Gainsborough.

Cloud Strife could not sleep. Every night , he would think about her. He thought about her every single day. He couldn't get her out of his mind. She put him to bed so easily. She just sang to him, whispering sweet nothings and he would sleep. He dreamt about her again. He couldn't help it. Realiztion finally hit him. He was in love with Aerith Gainsborough.

He finally stopped tossing and turning. He got up and went for a walk. The breeze was cool and wonderful. It ruffled his untidy , spiky , hair. Fresh sea air filled his lungs. He closed his eyes to enjoy the breeze until he felt someone embracing him from behind. He turned around , not expecting the person who was his reason for living , Aerith.

She gave him one of her usual signature smiles. Warm , gentle , caring. Her eyes and smile , told the same story. Cloud's sky blue orbs looked deeply into her emerald ones. It felt like they were attracted to each other as Cloud snaked his arms around Aerith's waist and pulled her closer , she wrapping her arms around his neck.

They closed the gap. It was short and innocent , but turned into a deep and passionate kiss. They broke off , gasping for air. She smiled and brushed his cheek before resting on his shoulder. He was shocked at first , but smiled. " Couldn't sleep?" She asked , playfully. "Yeah." He replied , hugging her. She grabbed his hand , walking to towards the house the group rented. " Where are you taking me?" He asked. She just continued walking. As soon as they reached the room , she pushed him to the bed. Cloud , obviously taken aback , got pushed easily , fell backwards. She pulled the covers over both of them.

"The answer to your question is...to put you to bed. " She replied coolly. She took his arms and wrapped it around her and closed her eyes. Cloud did the same.

The following morning ,

A shriek was heard. Cid wondered what had happened. He walked towards was just about to ask what the noise was about when she pointed into Cloud's room. He almost shouted in surprise. There , in Cloud's room , lay Aerith and Cloud. Aerith was on her side while Cloud was embracing her from behind. Yuffie got out her camera and took photos. Cloud and Aerith entered the dining area half an hour later. They both found it weird that Cid , Yuffie , Tifa and Barret laughing heartily. "Oh! They're here!" Barret laughed. " What's up?" Cloud asked casually.

"Oh it's nothing.....except you two were sleeping together!" Cid shouted as he flashed the photos to both of them. The four of them just started bursting into laughter again. Both of them immediately turned redder than tomatoes. "Well , erm....you see we were just um...." Cloud stuttered , obviously embarrassed. Aerith just grabbed his arm and smiled. "Yup!We're a couple!"

The End
