Fandom: Final Fantasy VII

Teaser: " Just a dream inside my head/that I wasn't alone in this empty bed. "

Inspiration: The first little poem you'll see in text inspired the direction

Commission from DarkOblivion926 ^^

Rating: T. Fairly mild compared to some of the crap I've written

Warnings:
-Dreams
-Angst
-Saddness
-Sugary-sweetness…

Main Pairing: -Zack/Cloud

Setting: Around Advent Children. Probably directly before it.

POV: Cloud shares his side, then Zack speaks from beyond his grave.

Additional ANs: The two short poems used in the story are mine. The last line Zack says is most of a quote from "The Princess Bride".

"Hey, Chocobo."

The voice startled me out of the darkness of my thoughts. I looked up to see him smiling at me from a few feet away in a meadow full of pale flowers and sunshine.

My jaw dropped, inevitably, as my restless feet carried me swiftly to his side. "Zack."

His expression grew concerned. "What's wrong, Cloud?"

I shook my head to push it all from my mind and to cement myself in the now of things. "It's nothing. I've missed you."

He laughed heartily. "Oh, have you? Perhaps I should make up for that." Leaning in, he pressed his lips against mine gently, lightly, like he was afraid I would fall all to pieces.

It was I that drew him closer, I that slanted my head and persuaded him to deepen and lengthen our kiss. As an inevitable consequence of that decision, our clothing fell away piece by piece as we sought to connect in the most basic way. He had my naked, slighter form pressed between his strong body and the bed of fragrant, soft grasses before I even caught my breath.

"Ah, Cloud, I've missed you, too, he murmured, dropping light kisses on my jawline. "Every hour of every day, I missed you.

I shivered under his attentions. "Well then stop missing me and be with me," I commanded him softly, as if it were all that easy, as if the distance between our souls was so easily bridged.

He gave me that familiar goofy smile. "Impatient, much?"

I embraced him fully with my arms, dragging his head down into the grasses but allowing myself to catch the scent of sunshine and laughter with a hint of ginger and an underlying current of pure Zack. "I missed you so much," I whispered in his ear.

"I know." He sighed. "I know. But you have to miss me for a bit longer, Cloudy."

To be continued. Soon.

It's all actually written already. I just thought that the best way to present this short fiction and build suspense would be to post in in three parts.

So keep your peepers peeled for the next two parts~

Love you all,
