...You...
Aeris sat quietly in the church of the slums late that night. She had somehow found herself to manage to consider thought thinking as much as she did that day. But how was that even possible, when everything she ever could get in her head was Cloud. He was everything to her, and wen she finally found that moment, it all slipped away, by her own words. She honestly believed what she had done was crazy, and regretted. How stupid could a girl be? Aeris thought, as she slowly brought her knees up against her chest, resting her chin on it.
She sighed deeply, as the bright moonlight from outside, shone down into the empty church. It was so lonely, she thought. So lonely, without anything or anyone for that fact. She could almost imagine the look on Tifa's face if Cloud when back. "IF," that was a strange word. What if he didn't? She quickly shook her head, as if shaking away such a selfish thought. Why did Aeris feel so selfish? Shouldn't it have been Tifa who felt that way?
The young woman slowly arose, as she spun around, gazing about the quiet church. It was dark, and yet so gloomy, so solemn. What was Aeris waiting for? That she couldn't quite figure out, she had no where else to go, no one to see...and not even a soul beside her. She walked around, gazing at the place she had remembered calling home, over those lonely childhood years. She had finally somehow managed to remember every little detail of her past.
Everything was so strange, eerie almost. She didn't' quite understand why she was back, perhaps it was fate? Was she even human? Aeris let out a laugh, at that sudden thought. Of course she was...if she weren't then she wouldn't have been here, watching every moment as it went by, all so soon. Her emerald eyes slowly turned to the entrance of the church, as she thought softly to herself, she noticed a bouquet of flowers that weren't there before.
She slowly made way to it, picking it up into her hands, as she noticed a paper tied tightly to the ribbon. She smiled, as she read the words to herself, "Lets get married..." Aeris eyes quickly gazed up, as she noticed Cloud stood there, his blue eyes fixed upon her. What was he thinking, she wondered? He slowly walked over towards her, his eyes not once gazing the other way. Aeris smiled, slightly, as he brought his hands to her face, cupping it gently.
"You're so stupid, Aeris," he uttered, smiling at his sudden words that seemed to startle her a bit. Her eyes gazed up at his, almost questioning. As he soon finished, "You know that I only wanted to be with you...I wouldn't bring you here, if I didn't wanted you..."
She slowly gazed away from his glare, "But, what about...."
"I already talked to her," he finished, "you should have known right from the start...ever since then..." Aeris slowly gazed up at him, a smile growing upon her face.
"Cloud...," she uttered, gently pressing her hand against his. He smiled down at her, a smile she had never notice before. Her eyes began to water, that she couldn't help it. He was there...always there....
"I'm here...and nothings gonna change that...," Cloud replied, staring deeply at her, his face leaning down a bit as he convinced her. He didn't need to, for she had already fallen for him. She knew she was in love, ever since....
"Can I ask you a favor?" Aeris questioned, smiling. Cloud nodded his head. "Can we go somewhere? Just you and me? Somewhere....far away...faraway from here....." He smiled.
"Anything...."
Aeris paused, "When...do you know when love has a limit?"
Cloud hesitated, but didn't seem to unsure about his reluctant answer, "...Never...Cause, when you love someone, nothing matters and you always find a way..." He gazed at her, brushing her hair away from her face, "And it always finds a way to you." She smiled, slightly, as she slowly leaned over. As they met in a passionate kiss for the first time, his arms encircled around her petite figure, tightly. As if he weren't ever ready to let go. Aeris slowly pulled away, gazing up at him, her arms around his neck.
"I love you...," she uttered, her forehead pressed against his, as she spoke to him.
He smiled, "I love you, too..."
She let out a soft laughter, as she noticed to bouquet she held onto, "..And what's this about getting married?" She questioned, sarcastically taunting him. Cloud smiled, as he nearly had forgotten.
"That's what I want...," he uttered, "it doesn't have to be a big wedding...just as long as I got you and you got me...." Aeris smiled, peering up into his eyes, that studied her face.
"But, we wouldn't be able to find a place," she replied, a bit confused.
"Here's you and me..," Cloud uttered, "and here's a church..." Aeris' lips quickly curved into a wide smile, as she couldn't help but let her feelings go.
"Will you marry me, Aeris Gainsborough?" Cloud questioned, staring deeply into her emerald eyes.
She smiled, "Of course, I will....and I'll say I do, as well." Cloud slowly brought his lips to hers, as he kissed her gently.
"I'll go anywhere with you, Aeris," he uttered, serious for that moment. She paused, as she let his words seep in. He was her love, for she was his as well. Nothing on Earth could ever change that...For he was her Future, and a bright future that would be....
NOTE NOTE :: Hehe...yea...I knoe, I didn't have any idea for a good ending. It isn't all that...its kind of typical for some of you right? Dont hate me please...don't flame me either...I just couldn't quite get the ending I was headed for...SORRY!
