Red hair and Emerald Eyes

Zack's Pov

I, Ex-SOLDIER first class, was on the run. The great Shinra electric power company, or basically the government, is chasing me because Cloud (an infantryman and my best friend) and I (We were Shinra's newest test samples) got away.

My old girlfriend is the only thing on my mind. All of the memories I had with her, even if they where only a few.

I felt a cold breeze hit my face. Last that I remembered it was the middle of summer. It was blistering hot and now it's as cold as ever. Wait, way back when I first met Cloud we where in Modeohiem. And the cold snow there didn't affect me like it did now.

Now I'm thinking of the hot again. Then I thought of Costa da sol, the ultimate resort town. I thought of the last vacation I had there. And now the red head, Turk mother like figure. Oh how good she looked then, or even when she wasn't in a bathing suit.

It was her, I never really loved Aerith. Back when I met Aerith, I was alone. I hadn't just met the red haired wonder just hours before. Cissnei had rejected me, not like I asked her out or anything but I never saw her again, and when I did she ignored me. I was hurt.

I started dating Aerith to get over Cissnei. I loved Cissnei and I had to get over her.

And the irony when I saw a bit of her lovely red hair when she was sneaking behind me.

"Yo Cissnei, It's been awhile." I yelled out to her.

-Cissnei's Pov-

I was sent on a mission to hunt down fugitive test samples. Not like I minded. I loved doing a mission to get my mind off of… him.

Zack, after his mission in Nibelhiem, he went missing. For four years. I tried to look for him in Shinra's records and it said he didn't exist. ZACK DIDN'T EXIST? He existed, in every dream, every memory, everything. Oh god did I love him.

Its not like I'll see him again. He's probably living in some corner of the world, with a family. Or maybe just a wife.

I was walking down along the shore, all the info they gave me was they where two people dressed in Shinra uniforms of some kind.

I should've not ignored him after we met. It was the only chance that there could be an 'us'. Then that damn Ancient took him.

I tried to keep on. Try to save remembering him for my dreams. I wiped away the tears from my face. I tried not to look weak in any way.

That's when I saw something familiar. A large sword, two holes by the hilt, and covering most of the body of the wielder.

I must be dreaming.

I snuck behind him and I saw those handsome emerald eyes. Busted.

"Yo Cissnei, it's been awhile." I heard him say. This was real.

"Zack, are you the fugitive sample?" I never wanted to believe that he was.

"It appears so."

"What did they do to you?" I wanted to know, if they did anything bad to him there would be a couple dead scientists.

"This and that" he said, and what he said next really shocked me.

"You're here to take us back." I looked at the ground. I couldn't find the answer.

Zack's Pov

There she was, looking at me. Knowing not what I could say.

"Zack, are you the fugitive sample?" She was asking me the obvious.

"It appears so." There she was, the pressure rising.

"What did they do to you?" now she was bringing back the horrible.

"This and that." I had to tell her to go away soon.

"You're here to take us back" I couldn't take it.

"Just go…" I collapsed. I couldn't take the cold.

Cissnei's Pov

He collapsed, right in front of her. She helped him up but he fell down again. I sat him up and dragged him to a rock. He was heavy but it probably was the sword. I tried to take it off his back. I did but I couldn't move it.

I sat down next to him, and took off my over coat. I put it over us. Then I hugged him. Sharing body heat.

Zack Pov.

She took my paralyzed body to a rock. Then she took the buster sword off my back. Put her over coat thing on me, then hugged me. There where a hundred scenarios that could happen here.

The heat off her body felt amazing. I love her. Boy oh boy do I want to kiss her.

"Cissnei?" I said.

"What is it? It just sharing body heat."

"No it's that I… I don't want you to be chasing us, actually I would love it if… well…" I was lost; I never wanted to say want I wanted.

"To run away with you? Just Quit my job and help you run away." Well that worked out swimmingly.

I raised my arms like I wanted her to shackle me and take me to Shinra. "Well just take me to Shinra, the most important person to me is going to pick them over me." Oops, I gave her a hint.

"Who said I said no?"

Cissnei's Pov.

"No it's that I… I don't want you to be chasing us, actually I would love it if… well…" He said.

"To run away with you? Just quit my job and help you run away." That was vary harsh of me.

"Well just take me to Shinra, the most important person to me is going to pick them over me." His hands where raised. Wait; is there a chance he could… feel the same way?

"Who said I said no?" That should fix it.

"Really? Thank you…" He was crying. He could.

"What about …um… Aerith?" I wanted to make sure.

Zack's Pov.

"Really? Thank you…" I said, I was crying but I didn't care.

"What about …um… Aerith?" she said. And opening to tell her what I really feel.

"I don't love her anymore. I actually think that… never mind." I couldn't tell it to her.

Cissnei's Pov (this is changing quite a lot now)

"I don't love her anymore. I actually think that… never mind."

He was just about to say it!

"No tell me, I really want to know." Come on say it.

Both Pov. (You'll know who's who)

I wanted to tell her so damn badly, but the only thing I can do was nothing. She probably doesn't feel the same.

Hurry up and tell me Zack. Three simple words. I-Love-…

I can't do it; she can't hurt me if I don't say them. Those three words, I-Love-…

So he's not sure if I like him back. Time to show him.

It's now or never. Lets hope that she does.

They both look each other in the eyes. They both lean in not knowing the other is doing the same. Their lips where touching, no not just that. It had a passion to it. The other was automatically kissing back.

They separated. They where just looking in each other's eyes. She was staring into those Emerald eyes she'd see in her dreams for the past 5 years, and he was looking at her Red hair that he'd imagine every day he was a science experiment.

"So you wanted to go on the run?" she said getting up.

He picked up her jacket and looked into her eyes.

"We start tomorrow."

"Why tomorrow?"

"I would like to spend the rest of the last peaceful night with you." That was the most romantic thing he has ever said.

They walked back to where Cloud sat, sleeping.

Now started the beginning of their journey with the Red hair and the Emerald eyes.
