"So,"
"So…"
"You're Aerith…"
"I am and?"
"Aerith Gainsbourgh…"
Aerith felt her heart jump in hearing him say her name so gently. She quickly shook her head. "Yes?"
"My name… is Zack Fair." He stated as he stared at her, focused. He saw the faint blush, which crept over her cheeks. It was cute.
He gulped and turned away. Sighing loudly, he slumped back to his seat. "This doesn't make sense. Why do we have to do this?" He placed his arms behind his head leaning his chair backwards nonchalantly.
Aerith blinked. "Well, you said we should start our friendship. We should know our names if we're going to do that…" She twiddled her fingers.
Zack stared at her. "Well I know your name and you know my name already. Ugh, this just makes me hungry." He scratched his head and grabbed her hand, dragging her towards the door. "Let's go."
"Hm? Where to?"
olololololo
"N-no! Please stop this thing, Z-Zack!" Aerith grabbed Zack's waist tightly, as if her life was depending on it.
Zack laughed loudly as the cold wind blew his hair back. He fueled his motorcycle and it roared deafeningly which made Aerith squeak more. "Don't be afraid, Aerith. This is fun!"
"…" Aerith couldn't find the right words to say to him so instead she shut her eyes close, holding unto him securely.
"We're here." She heard Zack's voice and she slowly opened her eyes. The frown that she planned to give him was taken off by the various colors of lights that twinkled in front of her. It was so beautiful.
"Wow…"
"Yeah, wow, right?" Zack said from beside her.
She turned to face him with a not so happy expression. "That was scary!"
"This?"
"No, that." She pointed at his motorcycle, frowning.
Then Zack suddenly laughed.
"What?"
"Wait, there's hair stuck there…" He reached out to remove some of the misplaced hair on her face, his fingers brushing lightly against her face. She flinched away and blushed. He stopped then smiled. "There."
She looked away. "Where are we?"
"It's a place were I eat."
"You mean, you don't cook for yourself?"
"Nah, that's too tiring, you know." He grinned at her. She raised her eyebrows at him. He laughed. "What? The food's really great here!" He raised his hands in defense.
"I'm sure they are." She crossed her arms.
"You don't believe me. I'll show you then." He grinned.
Ololololo
"Wow, they're so pretty…" Aerith stopped at the vendor of flowers and beside it were ribbons. A faint memory restored back to her. "Hey Zack-"
"Zack?" She whirled around. Zack wasn't there. A mob of people stood in front of her, pushing and shoving her aside. She stood at the tip of her toes to see farther. No Zack. The people beside her became a blur. She couldn't see him. "Where are you?" She whispered.
Worry and fear crept over her face. She took a deep breath, calming herself. "What should I do?"
She bit her lip and decided to stay beside where people can't push and shove her. She slipped down to the ground, gathering her knees to her chest like a ball, hoping Zack would come quickly.
Minutes passed and still no sign of him. Her fears were inkling to come back again any minute now. She held back her tears as she gripped the skirt of her dress, trying to stay strong.
"He'll come." She assured herself regaining her strong spirits that she unconsciously lost hold of whenever it concerned Zack.
And just like she had wished for it, Zack appeared from the certain group of people that she'd been watching. He was still looking around frantically and the moment he saw her, his features calmed down. His tense body loosened up.
He walked up to her carefully and kneeled beside her. "Hey…" He patted her head. "Where have you been, huh?"
"I was looking at the flowers and ribbons…"
He laughed lightly. "You want them so much you left my side? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought you were beside me. But when I turned to call you… you weren't there…" She bit her lip, her hand gripping his black top, feeling fragile again.
Zack looked at her wistfully and patted her head. "Were you scared?"
She looked at him. "A little…"
Zack reached out to touch her face but let it fall back down, something flickered in his eyes. He smoothed the hand that was gripping his top. "Now, I'm really hungry. You tired me out there, huh?"
He still held the hand he removed from himself. "Just hold unto me so you won't go wandering off again, alright?" He grinned.
Aerith smiled and tightened her hold. "Thanks."
