-Eyes-
Aerith was walking around in a field of brilliantly colored flowers, basket in hand with a few flowers already inside. With every flower she picked, she was extremely gentle with it as she placed it in the basket. As she continued to pick and gather up the flowers, she was thinking about what to do with them.
"Hm… With these many flowers, I can make a lot of flower bracelets for-"
"Aeeerrriiiiith‼" the brunette jumped from the sound of Yuffie's call from behind. She turned around and saw the energetic ninja girl running up to her happily. "Aerith! What'cha doin'?" Yuffie asked with a smile.
"Just gathering up some flowers so I can make flower bracelets-"
"Ohhh, right! Hey, can I have one? Or two, depending on how many you make? Can you make me one?" she begged, looking at Aerith with puppy dog eyes.
"Of course I'll make you one Yuffie. I was already planning-"
"Yayyy! I'm so excited! I can't wait, I'm gonna show it off to everyone and…" Yuffie went on and on about how happy and excited she was. Aerith smiled at this and continued to pick more flowers as she listened to Yuffie.
"Could you be any louder?" suddenly, Cloud and Leon appeared, walking up to the girls.
"Why are you screaming so loudly around this time, anyway?" Leon asked, an annoyed look on his face.
"Well, if you must know, Aerith is making me a flower bracelet. I'm sure you're just jealous, Squall." The younger girl crossed her arms and stuck her tongue out.
"It's Leon, and I'm a guy. I don't think I'd get jealous over something so girly." He stated firmly, but as soon as he made a reply, she had made another comeback, brewing up an argument between the two.
Aerith only giggled at their arguing, but she looked up at Cloud, who stood there watching the two argue. She was especially staring at his eyes. His clear blue eyes really reminded her of someone else… As she stared for a seemingly long amount of time, instead of seeing Cloud, a vision of another person appeared in her eyes.
He had spiky black hair with the same, clear blue eyes as Cloud. Of course, ironically, this boy she was seeing was good friends with Cloud.
"Aerith! I kinda want a flower bracelet too. But trust me, only because it was something made by you." In her mind, the boy talked to her, grinning happily. This made Aerith smile a little.
"Zack…" but her emerald green eyes showed sadness from how much she missed him.
"Aerith?" the boy looked concerned. "Aerith, don't cry. Aerith. Aerith…" the image of the boy started fading away.
"Aerith." The image was gone and reformed to be Cloud again. Aerith blinked a few times but she was back to reality, and saw everyone staring at her.
"Are you alright?" Yuffie asked, calm now, but concerned for her friend. The brunette was confused but she felt a tear run down her cheek and quickly wiped it away.
"Um, y-yes, I'm fine." She looked back up at them, smiling. Yuffie wasn't buying it and she grabbed her face, getting close to her so they were eye level with each other.
"Hmm… you can't fool me. Your eyes say otherwise." Yuffie stared for a bit, and indeed she saw sadness in her friend's eyes from missing someone. She smiled lightly, knowing the situation, as she hugged Aerith tightly. "You know, you can see a lot when looking into someone's eyes." Hearing this, Aerith couldn't help but find that ultimately true.
A/N: And that was the Eyes chapter! :D I had to have Aerith think about Zack here... I'm a ZackxAerith fan :) and this was EXACTLY 600 words :O I was quite surprised and, also relieved I didn't go over xD whoo! Anyways, please review and tell me what you think! Thank you for reading~ Hope to update a lot more! :) See ya then!
