Zack's P.O.V

I was already falling into the lands of dreams, when I suddenly woke up by someone knocking the front of our dorm room really loud. I slowly sit up from the bed and look over to where Aerith was to see that she was already awake with a worried look on her face. "Don't worry about it sweet heart, I got this you just get back to sleep while I check out who it is ok?" I said trying to calm her down a little and it seem to have work, when she laid right back sleep knowing that she would be safe. I smile a little about that. She just looks so cute when she's a sleep always reminded me the reason why I'm in love with her every time I saw that face.

Hearing that the knocking was becoming more louder by the second. I stood up and headed my way into the living room. Taking a last look at my little Aerith I headed into the front door and unlock the door locks to open the door. 'Who the heck can be awake on 3:00 in the morning banging out into people houses?' I thought as I open the front door and I was in shock to see a familiar blond standing in front of me looking like dead was chasing him itself. 'What the heck happen to him?' I thought as I notice his bleeding arm. Just as I was about to ask him who the hell could have done this to him when suddenly his body falls down almost hitting the floor but I manage to catch him in time before the boy had made an impact with the floor.

Wrapping my arms security around Cloud as I remember of the time he spend with me and Aerith. I walk back inside the dorm and lay Cloud into one of the couches carefully not to lay him on his injure arm.

"OMG what happened to him?" I turn around to see Aerith standing there looking quite shock. "I don't know I just open the door and he was standing up like this before he pass out." I responded while Aerith quickly headed into the bathroom and came back with some medical supplies that she decided to bring with her just in case. "Zack can you please bring me a bucket of hot water? I need to clean his wound before it becomes infected." I nodded and quickly head my way into the small kitchen and gather some other stuff I thought that she might before I heard Aerith release a horrifying squeak. Quickly headed my way back to see what just happened. My owned grow in shock by the site in front of me.

There was Cloud lying on the sofa with a lot of terrifying scars around his body some of them look old and others look like have been cause recently. Who could have caused such scars into the sweet blond? Getting some air back into my lungs not releasing when I had stop breathing, I walk up to Aerith and slowly bringing her into a hug while she left soft tears round down from her beautiful green eyes. "Who could have caused such a thing to a poor boy?" Aerith ask while she tries holding back a sob that was threatening to come out. "I don't know put whoever was the one to cause this scars to him are going to pay for it, I can guarantee you that." I responded while trying to hold down my own tiers.

Cloud's P.O.V

Slowly waking up by the sudden smell of something cooking made my stomach growl from hunger. When was the last time I eat something that wasn't chips or hot chocao? Well I didn't remember or didn't care enough about it at the moment.

I slowly sat up to notice that I wasn't in my bed like always woke up every morning, it appear that I was lying on a couch. Wondering how I end up in this place I look around the place around me and suddenly have a feeling that this place looks familiar for some weird reason.

I start to think about the event from yesterday, I got up early in the morning, meet with the people that I was supposed to guide Zack and Aerith if I did remember right, spend most the day with them until it was late and went back home and take a shower then go to bed. i felt that I was forgetting something that has happened yesterday, and then it suddenly hit me.

The man putting the knife against mine neck, saying his mom sold him out, trying to run away. The suddenly feeling sunk down against his tinny heart. 'He said that my mom sold me out.' Didn't she want to be with him? How could she allow that men to come to him and do those things to him. 'What have I done so wrong to deserve your hatred?' I though as tiers of misery started to fall down from my eyes, what have I done so wrong to deserve this? Does everyone hate me that much? Am I supposed to spent the rest of my life likes this?

My heart sunk down sobbing more loudly each time. Is it so wrong for me wanting be surrounded by people that love me? 'Yes it appears so.'

Then suddenly I felt strong arms wrapping around me like two white wings of an angel. I look up to see violet eyes staring back at me. "Is ok Spiky you can let it out now, you're not alone anymore." Zack said smiling softly as he put me back into a warming hug no longer I have been able to fight it and started to cry my eyes out like I never have cry before. I felt lonely and just wanted die and nothing more.

But that feeling was starting to go away as Zack whisper words of comfort like none one as ever done for me before. 'Is this how it feels to be loved? Because if it is I wish I could have it for the rest of my life.' I thought as I lay down against Zack Slowly closing my eyes and falling into a deep warm sleep.

Normal P.O.V

Hearing that the cries have calm down Zack looks down into the sleeping figure that was lying against him, He couldn't help but let a small smile break into his lips when he took a look at Cloud's angelical face. 'I can't really see why anyone wanted to hurt that sweet face.' Zack thought as he brush his hand against the small blonde spikes from the boys head.

Hearing the front door open Zack look up to see Aerith walking into the Living room. "How is he?" she ask looking down into the sleeping blonde.

"Bad I don't know what happened put whatever it was must have been I huge shock for him to cry himself to sleep." Zack said while looking down at the blonde.

"I talk to a name Julian Lockheart he told me that Cloud's mom abuses him and makes him work instead of going to school like the rest of the children, He said that the townspeople have try everything can to help him but… he seem to always refuse to leave his mother's side." Aerith said trying to hold her anger down put you could still hear it in her voice that she was really pissed off.

"I can't believe that such people exist." The black hair man said as he continue to brush his hand against the blonde hair.

"Let's keep him." Aerith said out of none where. "Excuse me?" Zack ask not understanding what she was saying.

"Let's adopt him." She said while Zack look like his eyes could poop out from his head. "Are you crazy Aerith He already has a mother that has his custody and if we take him just like that that would be call kidnapping even if he's being abuse."

"Come on Zack you know that we have try a lot of times to have a child and haven't work, you always say you wanted a boy anyway so there you have it and about the custody thing we can ask Tseng to make us some legal documents for him so it would not be call kidnapping as you say and besides he is such a sweet thing please Zack can we please?" Aerith ask giving him the puppy eyes.

Zack look uneasy for a second not sure how things were going to work out, Put he figure that Cloud deserve a better life than the one that he was currently living and quickly made up his mind. "Fine we can take this little one with us back to Midgar put only if he agrees to come back with us." Satisfy with his answer she headed into the kitchen to eat some breakfast while Zack kept on sitting on the sofa with Cloud by his side waiting for the little blonde to wake up from his deep slumber.

Awwwwww! That was sooooo cute don't you think. Can you imagine a small Cloud calling Zack and Aerith Dad and Mom that would be soo KAWAIIIIIII! XD
