-Chapter 3: When Dragons Sleep-
Cloud is certainly asleep by now as well as Aerith, but Zack, well, is being Zack. Only he's now weirder than ever, which is too much. He's just watching Cloud sleep. A few more minutes passed as he kept on staring at Cloud's sleeping features. Cloud stirred making Zack panic, fortunately enough, Cloud didn't wake up. Zack sighed in relief. Cloud had been staying with them since winter struck their village. Zack wasn't gonna lie. He indeed have fallen for the mythical beast.
Zack sighed once again but now in defeat. He knew he liked the dragon, but does he like him back? Zack knew of his appeal, seeing as many have fallen for him. "Cloud... I wonder..." Zack whispered as he twirled a lock of Cloud's hair. "Wonder what?" Zack flinched who talked to him, seeing as he have always loved the soft but somewhat aggressive voice of the dragon. "N-n-n-n-nothing! GOOD NIGHT!" Zack stood up abruptly and left as soon as he could. Cloud could only looked at him in wonder.
THE NEXT DAY
Through out the day Zack was avoiding Cloud, who grew annoyed. Cloud sulked at the corner as Aerith chuckled at their antics. "Cloud, oh Cloud. If only you knew..." Aerith said amused. Cloud was still left on wondering what they could have been talking about.
