I do not own any of the characters.
'I'll see you. I promise.'
'Aerith!'
'Zack?' asks an utterly shocked Aerith.
'Why are you so surprised? I promised to come visit. Let's go have some fun,' he says as he turns to leave. Aerith runs to catch up to Zack, but it doesn't matter how fast she runs, she can never catch up to him.
'Zack!' she shouts but he just disappears in the distance.
"Zack!" she shouts again, causing her to wake from her dream. Aerith looked around to make sure she was no longer dreaming. As she scans the room, her eyes land on the box of letters. "Zack," she whispers as she makes her way to the box.
She stares at the box for a few minutes before opening it. "Tseng gave me back my letters…when…when he told me you wouldn't be coming back," the tears start streaming from her eyes, "By the time he came, I had already known you weren't coming back. I guess that's what happens when you're the last Cetra…It took Tseng awhile to come to tell me, I don't think he knew how to tell me or maybe he had other matters to attend to," she said as a sad chuckle escaped.
There was a long silent pause before she began again, "I started burying the letters with the plants. They like it that you're still a part of operation: Midgar full of flowers, wallet full of money…You know, you're mean. You always come back to me in my dreams, but you never wait for me. Why? You knew my wish was to spend more time with you. Can't you at least grant me that wish in my dreams?" Aerith shook her head, "I'm sorry, I guess I'm just too greedy."
Aerith took a deep sigh before wiping the remaining tears and making her way to bed once again.
I'm sorry but I feel like such a loser for knowing that Zack was going to die in Crisis Core and still hoping that he would make it back to Aerith. Did anyone else feel this way?!
Anyways please let me know what you think of this short fic. Til Next Time!
