LEONS POV!!!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have never felt so empty in my life. Watching the blond close his eyes and fall into an eternal slumber made me want to cry my heart out, made me want wish him to come back. My eyes swelled up with tears and my heart burned with grief and pure sadness. Why was I all of a sudden feeling like this?
I lifted the limp blond into my arms and carried him off towards the castle. I seriously hoped Aerith could save him, I seriously hoped that somehow someone knew how to bring him back. I knew there wasn't much hope, so why? Why was I suddenly hoping?
I reached the castle gates and gazed at the cold Cloud in my arms. Aerith, Tifa and Yuffie rushed over and stared at him. I heaved a sigh when Aerith ran a glowing hand over his lifeless body, checking for a heartbeat. I watched the tears slide down her cheeks and Tifa and Yuffie beginning to shake with silent tears. Aerith walked with me until we reached his room in the castle. I quietly laid him down and observed his calm quiet face. Why had I fallen in love with him?
Aerith walked out and I followed afterwards, shutting the door quietly on the motionless Cloud. I gazed at Aerith as she stared back. "He shouldn't have died." She whispered. I turned away and sighed sadly. "I shouldn't of left him." I said softly. She looked up and shook her head. "No, it wasn't you. Cloud was just being careless. Just like when Radiant Garden fell into darkness and him along with it." I turned my back to her. "But this time he isn't coming back." I said as I walked away. Why was my sorrow on my mind?
I glared at the spot where Cloud and that nobody had fallen. The blood from where Cloud collapsed was staining the ground. I tore my eyes away and looked out to the sunset. The soft oranges and pinks merging together as the sun shone the last of its light on that day. Why did it remind me of Cloud?
I stayed at the exact same spot until the dark night finally crept up on me. The full moon glowed and the small stars sparkled. Memories of when me and Cloud were children began to appear. The night exactly like this, we were both sitting together trying to decipher and figure out if we could see any patterns in the stars. I could feel my eyes burn with fresh tears, the memory of me promising to protect my younger friend scorched into my mind. I buried my head in my folded arms and wept. Why didn't I keep that promise?
The morning sun roused me from my sleep and as I opened my eyes I notice I was still near the cursed area. I must have dosed off while the memories played themselves again and again in my mind. I wiped the sleep away and some of the remaining tears before standing up. I watched two small birds fly past. A young brown coloured bird and a golden bird. Like you and me, Cloud. I thought as the birds circled and spun in the air, just like they were dancing. I pushed away my guilt, my sadness, and my grief before setting back to the castle. Why did our dance finish suddenly Cloud?
Upon my return, Aerith started scolded me for not returning last night. But I wasn't listening; everyone looked as if they had been shedding tears. Cid and Vincent (A/N: yes Vincent is in this) had also been grieving, small tear stains flowed down their cheeks. I turned away, Yuffie, Tifa, Aerith Cid and Vincent had known Cloud longer than me. It didn't surprise me if they were upset. "Is it alright if I see Cloud?" I asked quietly, I received a small nod and headed towards the blonds room. Why are you making feel this way Cloud?
I stepped into the room and looked at the small bed in the corner. Noticing Cloud was not there. I frowned and walked in, the room was pleasantly warm unlike when I had left. I turned my head from side to side in hoping that aerith hadn't gotten rid of the blond. I caught a glimpse of black fabric, then pale skin, then soft fair spikes on the balcony. I walked over and knelt down next to the body. Cloud was leaning against the balcony's door frame. My mind whizzed through many answers to my one main question. Why has Cloud been moved?
I ran my hand through the soft pointed spikes that was one of clouds trademark and let my hand rest on his cheek. I frowned deeply as my hand began to trace delicate pictures on the blonds' soft skin. Why was he so warm?
My frowned deepen when I saw the blond shake, hope suddenly filled my heart. "Cloud?" I asked, some of my hope leaving me when he didn't respond. I sat in front of him and shook his shoulders gently, "Cloud?" I received a soft moan and a small amount of movement, my eyes lit up as I called for Aerith. I heard rushing up the stairs and everyone bursts in. They stare at me confused. I motion them to sit next to and they do so. How are you alive?
I turn back to Cloud and shook him gently, "Cloud? Cloud wake up." I said in the same tone of voice I had said it before. I received another moan and a shiver. Everyone perked up and watched as I tried to wake Cloud up. The blonds eyes opened slowly and he stared at all of us. "Am I dead?" who had rescued my Cloud?
I shook my head and placed my hand on his cheek. "If you are Cloud, then we would be dead as well. Which I highly doubt." I murmured in answer to his question. He smiled at me and I brought him into a deep hug. What had made Cloud alive?
Everyone was crying, I knew it. But it wasn't tears of sadness but of joy. The warmth that flowed from Clouds skin was a sign that yes, somebody had brought my Cloud back and yes, someone had heard my wishes. This memory will stay, even though it is one I would rather forget. But, could this mean that someone was giving us a second chance?
I breathed in the deep smell of Cloud as we both sat and watched the townsfolk busy themselves. A few days had passed since Clouds death and everything had gotten back to normal, almost. Everyone had discovered my feelings for Cloud and his for me. We had all grown to this and I guess everyone really thought we suited. I brought Cloud closer to me and I heard him sigh. "You never told me how you came back." I mumbled as I rubbed my cheek into his hair. "Zack, he said it wasn't my time." He said in a hushed tone. I smiled and gently turned Clouds head to see his eyes. The crystal blue eyes held affection love and happiness. I kissed him tenderly on the lips. I drew back and rested my forehead against his. "I will keep my promise I made to you when we were younger." He tilted his head and leaned forward, kissing me in return. "And I'll do that same for you."
