Cloud came closer to Aeris and set a gentle hand on her shivering
shoulders. "Are you alright?" he asked. "You look pale." She smiled and
got up, "I'm great, thanks." Then she continued to look at the sky. It
was amazing how Cloud knew that she needed him near, as if he can read her
heart. There were over a million stars in the sky now that they are away
from the city.
"It's a perfect view from here," he said to break up the silence. Aeris sighed, "Yeah, but you will have to go to war soon. I'll never be able to see you again." Cloud managed to give her a smile, "Of course I will. I'm the best soldier in AVALANCHE. Besides, if I win this war, I'll bring happiness to all the people here."
Aeris nodded, "Okay, whatever you say. . . . . . just be careful, okay?"
"Aeris, just forget about it."
It was hard not to forget about Cloud, even if she tried to. Suddenly, something came to her mind that was bothering her for days, "Tifa!" Cloud looked at her, "What about Tifa?" Then, he felt something wrong with Aeris.
He knew that one-day, any day, he has to decide between Aeris or Tifa. That was a very hard choice. They were both his friends, but . . . . . . . that kind of thought made his head hurt. He would rather kill over ten hundred windingos than come across that day. But he has been thinking, he can't be a bachelor forever. There were some positive and negative things about both of them.
Aeris on the other hand seem to understand Cloud's feelings. Though, she can't help but bring it up.
"So, who's it gonna be?" she asked, a gentle smile on her face. Cloud could feel a sweat making its way down his face, "Uh." Aeris waited for his answer. He stood there. He was silent. Aeris was a little upset. She was expecting for him to choose her. Does that mean that he doesn't love her far more than Tifa? Although Tifa is her friend - best friend - she still loves Cloud very much.
"Do I have to answer now?" he said, after a few minutes.
Aeris sighed, "Oh, alright." She waited a moment. "But you will answer, will you?" Cloud smiled. "Yeah," he lied.
"It's a perfect view from here," he said to break up the silence. Aeris sighed, "Yeah, but you will have to go to war soon. I'll never be able to see you again." Cloud managed to give her a smile, "Of course I will. I'm the best soldier in AVALANCHE. Besides, if I win this war, I'll bring happiness to all the people here."
