I actually have to prepare some of my prompts in advance because I fear school will take me a lot of time until at least Wednesday ;A; Hopefully I'll get some time to answer to reviews though!
This one was meant to be angsty, but in the end, it's not. Yaaay! (meanwhile I'm writing extremely angsty stuff omg)
Rules followed here: No Sora, and the second stupid expression "Zack's Nobody" appears (man that was hard to place)
Theme : Super Hero
"Aqua! You came back! Does that mean we're on a date?"
Aqua chuckled at Zack's happy face.
"I wouldn't call it a date… But I don't mind spending a bit of time with you."
He cheerfully clapped his hands and started doing some… squats? At Aqua's surprised face, he explained. "Don't mind me, I just need to stay in shape if I want to fulfill my dream! What do you say about a fruit yoghurt? I know the place they're making the best you'll ever have. My treat. Find us somewhere nice to seat, will you?"
And he was off, almost running to get the yoghurts. Aqua couldn't help but laugh at his joy - he somehow reminded her of a puppy, always excited about everything.
She found in Thebes a lovely garden, and she sat on the edge of a fountain, enjoying the beauty of the place. Zack came back with two cups filled with yoghurt, and covered with honey and fruits. It was exactly the kind of healthy treats she liked.
"This place is incredible! You sure you don't want it to be a date? That would be the perfect, romantic place!"
"Zack…"
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But I'm still happy you came to see me! Did you find the friends you were looking for?"
"I'm still looking for them… It's complicated. I needed a break."
An awkward silence set in. Aqua shook her head - she was ruining the mood.
"You mentioned your dream, earlier. What could it be?"
Zack's eyes started to sparkle.
"I want to become a hero! Not any kind, though. A super hero! That's the reason I came here in the first place. They can turn me into a hero. Then, I'm going back to Midgar, become the best SOLDIER, be strong enough to save everyone, and become the biggest super hero ever known! All my heroes, Angeal, Genesis, Sephiroth, they will all beg me to teach them how to be so cool, and I'll have all the pretty ladies at my feet! Just wait and see!"
Aqua burst into laughter and he followed within seconds.
"Once that dream comes true, please come see me, I can't wait to meet such a hero, Zack!"
"You will see, you will regret turning me down today! Next time there will be a queue to date me! You have no idea what you're losing, Aqua!"
Aqua remembered something Master Yen Sid told her once about the heart. There was a theory, yet to be proven, that if people with a strong heart were to die under certain specific circumstances, the heart and the body would form two entities instead of disappearing. With an incredibly strong heart, the body would even keep its shape and the personality of the person, called a Nobody. That was only theories, and nothing was proven yet, but Aqua felt like Zack's will was so strong that no matter what, even if he was defeated somehow one day, he would simply turn into a Nobody. Zack's Nobody… But thinking of him being eventually defeated one day would bring him bad luck. She shook her head. Why did she always have to think of the worst?
"How about a deal? Once our dreams come true, let's meet up again. Then I will consider a date. And I will treat you to the best ice cream you could ever imagine."
"That's a deal! I would like to make a toast", he solemnly raised his cup of yoghurt, as if it was a glass of champagne, "to dreams that will definitely come true."
"To our dreams." Aqua softly answered, clinking her cup with Zack's before taking a spoon of her yoghurt.
Perhaps was it only because they were indeed the best yoghurt ever, but it tasted incredibly sweet and savoury.
It feels like it was pretty obvious this would be about Zack. I mean, the theme had "Zack" written all over the place. For the fun story behind the stupid things we had to write : the Anonymous Orangutan comes from the fact that the first time Saphir connected to one of my google drive document (she beta reads Secret Place ;) ), Drive was calling her Anonymous Orangutan and we thought that was really fun and that became her unofficial nickname on Messenger (although I call her bro most of the time v_v ).
As for "Zack's Nobody", that's my own Messenger name actually XD When I was playing Crisis Core, I would comment everything using the first person, so she never knew whether I was talking about Zack or about myself. I also love doing squats way too much, just like him. And since I've got no heart thanks to KH, I'm nothing but a Nobody now, so, well... That's the stupid story xD
And yes, this is not angsty at all. AT ALL. NOT EVEN IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT AND ABOUT HOW THEY WILL NEVER MEET AGAIN
Without transition...
See you tomorrow~
Let's play a game! I tell you tomorrow's theme and you tell me what you think it could be about. (even if you read this long after the next prompt is posted, you can still play! Leave a review about what/who you think it might be about, then read the next one to check. I would be so interested to know about what comes to your mind with the themes!)
Next theme : Smile for me... One last time (yeah definitely nothing angsty is coming)
