Zack's P.O.V.

Zack felt himself smiling when Cloud had agreed to come over. He had been planning on asking Cloud to come over ever since he heard about today's meeting (which he had found out through Angeal on Wednesday). He had started to plan out exactly what they were going to do as soon as he got home that night. Dinner and a movie? No that sounds too much like a date. Umm…a walk to a café? Still to cliché! Etc…

But Zack had finally come to the decision of the great, 'Take-out-and-an-in-house-movie' plan. Then he had to debate how he would ask Cloud. Would he go up to him and just ask, or lead up to it or… (Man he worries a lot!)

As you all might have guessed, Zack was in love with Cloud. He had been since they had started hanging out together and had wanted to ask him out but then Sephiroth had. Even before that, Zack had been scared that, if he had asked Cloud to be his boyfriend, Cloud would stop being his friend and never want to see him again (Ah love, what pain it brings. But what a joy it gives us!).

So finally, everything was set up. Cloud was going to be there in a few minutes, Zack had already ordered the Watainesse, and he had picked out a movie since, even though he would ask Cloud what movie he wanted to watch, Cloud would always say, "Whatever you think is good."

He had just finished laying the food on the table complete with chopsticks, plastic forks, cups, drinks, napkins, and plates when…

Knock Knock

Zack bounded over to the door and opened it with a joyful, "SPIKY!!" before tackling the wide eyed blond boy in a bear hug.

"Ah, Zack! Get off of me!"

"But you took so long getting here Cloudy!! I thought you had lost your way or forgotten about me!" Zack whined but he did let go of the squirming boy as he led the way back inside.

Cloud smiled lightly and looked around and his eyes widened. "Zack that's a lot of food. Are we going to need that much?"

Zack chuckled as he patted Cloud's head thinking, If only I could pet his hair all the time. It's so soft! Like silk. Or feathers. "Of course Cloud! We're growing boys after all and the food they give us in the cafeteria is one of the worst things I have ever had the misfortune of chocking down!"

Cloud laughed at that and began dishing himself up some of the food that smelled like heaven.

Zack grabbed another plate and started getting some of the food while asking, "So Cloud, what movie do you want to watch?"

"Mm…whatever you think is good Zack."

Zack chuckled again, "Alright how about this one?" and held up a DVD case. "It's called the Half Blood Prince and it's supposed to be really good!"

Cloud looked at it as he sat on the coach, "Is that the next one in the series we watched last time?"

Zack nodded and put the disk in, sat next to Cloud, and pressed play.
