Chapter 2:
Flower Girl
Zack sighed as he thought of which date it was at the moment. 6th February and tomorrow would be Aerith's birthday. His mako enchanted eyes looked at her flowers before he raised himself up and walked towards the church entrance. The brown haired girl looked concerned after him, and crossed her arms.

"I'm just going to search for something…" Zack muttered before he leaved, and walked in the streets of Midgar. The dark haired man had plans about talking to Angeal, since he had no clues of what a girl wanted for her birthday, and especially not Aerith. If he asked her what she wanted for her birthday, she would shake her head and tell him that she had everything that she wanted, but he seriously doubted that, it had to be something nice he could give her.

Aerith was 17, turned 18, and then the dolls wasn't one of the options anymore. And giving flowers to a girl hat sold flowers would be a little cliché, even though Aerith loved lovers, and it was one of her biggest interests. But it was hard to know if Aerith loved him or not, since she didn't express her feelings openly like the other girls he had met had done. And she meant that dating was a bad thing, like a sin or something.

And then it was Valentine's Day, 14th February. He knew that Yuffie was going to spend her time together with Vincent, since his last name was Valentine, something she had talked about for hours for a few days ago. But Aerith was difficult to buy something for, and then again, she was lucky that was going to get two presents in the same month. The dark haired man had planned to ask a other girl about what he could buy for her, but Yuffie had been too spunky, and hadn't given him the answers that he had been searching for. And Tifa was busy with finding a gift for Cloud, and he knew that she was struggling as much as he was since Cloud was a silent type. Nor could he ask the girl herself what she wanted, because then she would get suspicious.

Maybe he should just stick to chocolate, or bracelets, because Aerith wasn't the type of girl who had her whole face covered in make up, in fact he had never ever seen her with a lot of make up before, so it was definitely a more normal gift, like a normal boyfriend would have done. God, he hated shopping, he had no clue how the ladies survived. The sales, (the sales was terrible, too much people at on place) the stress, the pressure, the yelling, the constant lines and the chaos. Shopping was nothing for him, nothing at all. He had met a few chicks at a sale that had a high blood pressure. A few slaps on his cheek from something he looked at as wild animals than a normal, sweet shopping girl. In fact his cheeks were still burning after the slaps. He also was aware of that he was unusual late for getting a gift for his own girlfriend, nor like it mattered. And he couldn't exactly slap those cute shopping girls back, because slapping girls was a bad thing.
he sighed as he went inside a new store, aware that he wouldn't find a gift here either.
