Summary: Because true love never dies
Disclaimer: I do not own anything but the plot. Characters and places belong to SquareEnix
She didn't need to reach out her hand towards him, as he stood helplessly waiting for the lifestream to take him after that fateful battle. To be honest, he would be happier dying. He would be with her that way.
But she was devoted to him. She could not bare to see him die. She couldn't bare to see him suffer. That's why she helped him with Bahamut. That's why she cured his Geostigma. She was devoted to him, devoted to making him happy. After all, that's what you do when you're in love. She knew that.
She may be gone but that did not matter. She would do everything she could to protect him, to make sure he lived his life to its fullest. Her parents tried to make her stop holding on to the Planet, saying it wasn't right. They understood what she was going through but they just wanted to protect her.
Aerith, however, always strong-willed and determined didn't listen. If she could protect Cloud, help him find happiness then she would devote herself to doing that. Nothing would stop her, not even death because she knew she couldn't leave him.
After all, true love never dies.
