A/N: Kinda short..but it holds a lot of feeling, in my opinion. Just a idea that came to me while playing.

"It's the silence between the battles that scare me the most.."
Her words echo over and over like a bad dream when you're trying to pinch yourself awake.
Slowly moving herself to his side of the slab of cold rock they made their bed, "This might be the last-"
"Don't say it." he cuts sharply, "Don't think like that. I'm not supersititious, but right now...just don't."
His words were never really comforting, yet it made her want him even more.
He must still be hurting over Aeris..she thinks to herself.
She pretty much given up when she joined the fight for the right to exsist.
But she's gone now...when will he come back to me?
Her mind is racing as she rests her exhausted head on his broad shoulder. In that moment, it didn't matter how tomorrow would end, as long as she got to hear those magic words...
The morning came sharply, like the edge of a cold blade making a quick cut into your flesh on a frozen black day. Shaking out of the cobwebs from their bones, Cloud and Tifa stand tall to view their final destination in the distance. With the morning glow, the road ahead looks as if from an old painting drawn from atop a mountain, hundreds of years ago.
Working their way to the bottom of the trail, the feeling of lonliness sets in, even though they're together.
But are they really?
Not a single word was spoken since the night before.
Maybe their thoughts are focused on the dreadful task at hand...or maybe they don't speak because..
Because their next words may be their last to one another, and neither can word what they want..what they need to say just right, so that their love can find them on the other side...
