Chapter One

Sitting still, Aerith admired the lilies that had grown from the floorboards within the church of the Sector 5 Slums. She could watch them all day. When they spoke to her, she listened. Today, they brought her a message.

Get ready.

"Really, is that all you have to say?" Aerith questioned. When she didn't get a response, she sighed. "Well, I guess that's it then."

"Who're you talking to?" asked a familiar, male voice.

Aerith's eyes grew wide. She knew that voice. She turned to face the entrance.

"Zack, is it really you?" she asked.

"Yup, it's me in the flesh!" he laughed. "Long time no see."

Aerith stood in disbelief. "But I thought you…"

"Well, don't just stand there! C'mere."

Aerith cautiously walked to Zack. As she got closer, the sunlight shone on his dark, spiky hair and sky-blue eyes. He stretched his lean arms and moved his hands in a come-hither motion. Once face-to-face with him, she stood for a minute.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I want to take you out on that date I promised."

Aerith chuckled. "It's a little late for that, don't cha think?"

"It's never too late in my book!" Zack clasped her hands. "Aerith, I'm sorry for everything. Let me make it up to you."

Aerith shyly looked away. "How would you do that?"

Zack smirked. "Well for starters, I'd do this."

He lifted Aerith's chin and kissed her. A jolt went through her as she allowed herself to get wrapped in his embrace. She parted her lips and let Zack's tongue glide in her mouth.

The memories flooded back. He was her first love. When he was away, she wrote him 89 letters. She wondered if he had ever read them. Aerith broke the kiss and Zack pouted.

"What's wrong?" he asked. He moved a stray hair from her face.

"This is just a lot for me," she replied. "I didn't think I would see you again."

"Well, sometimes you gotta expect the unexpected."

Aerith scoffed. "You're just full of wisdom now, huh?"

Zack smiled. "I've had a lotta time to think about it."

They stood quietly. Aerith nuzzled into Zack's chiseled chest, and he held her tighter. Slowly, he inched his hands down her waist. Then, he gently pressed her against his groin. Aerith gasped.

"Zack, you got bigger!"

"It's your fault," he whined. "Did you miss me?"

Aerith blushed. "Well, I…uh. I did miss you. I mean I do miss you. I thought you weren't here anymore. Then, I met this guy–"

"Nope!" Zack shook his head. "I don't wanna hear it. Whoever he is, dump 'em. You're mine."

Zack kissed her again this time deeper than before. He bit her lip and Aerith moaned.

"You're no fair," Aerith whispered between breaths.

Zack brushed his finger across her lips. "What can I say? Sometimes, I play dirty to get what I want." He licked his lips and began to kiss her neck.

Aerith's legs started to wobble. "I don't think I can stand much longer."

"I can fix that," Zack said huskily. "Put your arms around my shoulders."

Aerith did as she was told. Zack scooped her up and placed her against the wall, with her legs up.

"This is embarrassing," Aerith protested. "We can't do this here."

Zack slouched. "Fine. Where do you want to go?"

"I don't know. I was kinda in the middle of something." Aerith pointed to the lilies and Zack rolled his eyes.

"I thought you were going to sell those," he said.

"No, that was your idea, not mine!" The two laughed. She realized some things had not changed with him.

"Aerith, let me have you," whispered Zack. "I can make you forget all about what's-his-face."

That's right, she thought. The guy I met didn't tell me his name.

"Okay, I'm ready," Aerith said as she cleared her throat.

Just as the two were about to leave the church, a loud crash came from the ceiling.

Chapter Two

"What was that?" asked Zack.

"I don't know," replied Aerith. "I'm going to check it out." She ran off before Zack could stop her.

As she neared the crash site, Aerith spotted him – the guy, who didn't give his name. She stood over the blonde spiky-haired soldier, who now lie on the ground. She put her ear to his chest. Faintly, she could hear his heartbeat, with the gentle rise of his rock-hard chest.

Wow, he's buff, like Zack, too, she thought.

"Where am I?" he asked as he put his hand on his temple. The man looked down and jumped back when he saw Aerith, resting on him.

"Talk about making an entrance," she said. "I didn't mean to startle you. Just making sure you're alive. You just fell through the roof of this church. Luckily, the flowers broke your fall."

He looked down at the lilies and back at Aerith. "It's you, the flower peddler."

"It's Aerith," she replied. "We've met before, but I didn't get your name."

"Cloud Strife." He looked into her green eyes and observed her flushed cheeks. "Are you okay? You seem a little out of breath."

"Oh, I guess you could say that." Aerith tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I ran over here as fast as I could."

"You shouldn't have run off like that!" Zack yelled from the entrance. "Who is it?"

"Come see for yourself!" Aerith yelled back. "He won't bite."

Oh, hell no, Zack thought. I'm not about to let some nut job, who fell from ceiling, take Aerith from me.

Zack marched over. "You got some nerve, buddy." Zack froze. "No way! Cloud is that you?"

"How do you know my name?" Cloud asked defensively. He placed his hand on his Buster Sword.

Zack put up his hands. "Easy. I come in peace." He motioned to him. "Don't you remember? I gave you that sword when…" His voice trailed off. For some reason, he could not remember how Cloud got the sword.

"Anyway, you and I are friends," he continued. "We're on the same team. I'm a 1st Class SOLDIER."

"Is that right?" Cloud lowered his hand from the sword. "Well, I'm an ex-SOLDIER."

"And my body guard," Aerith added.

"What?" Zack and Cloud asked in unison.

"Don't looked so surprised, you two," said Aerith. She grabbed Cloud's strong arm and huddled against him. Then, she looked to Zack. "This is the guy I met that I was trying to tell you about. I didn't think I'd see you again, so I decided to look forward."

"The hell you did!" Zack shouted. He took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, Aerith. I didn't mean to yell." He looked to Cloud. "I'm glad you're safe, my friend. We can catch up later, but I gotta take care of Aerith. She doesn't need your protection right now."

"Did she tell you that? Cloud asked. He tugged Aerith closer to him. "Or are you assuming things, like an ass–"

"That's enough," Aerith said as she stepped between the two men. "Arguing will get you nowhere."

Zack tsked. "I guess you're right."

"Sorry," Cloud said.

The men gave each other a knowing look. Then, they stared at Aerith.

"Uh, guys, what did you just do?" she questioned.

"We made a truce," replied Zack.

"We're both going to have our way with you," said Cloud.

Get ready.

Aerith's mouth dropped. Now, she knew what the flowers meant with their message.

Chapter Three

How did I get like this, Aerith thought.

Zack stood above her head. Cloud currently had her on all fours, with her dress lifted in the flower bed. He took off his gloves and began to massage her bottom. Once he felt like she was hot to his touch, he began to lick her hole above her mound. Aerith groaned.

"Cloud, no, it's dirty there," she said.

Cloud lifted his head. "No part of you is dirty. You're beautiful, Aerith, and I want to take you." He rose to his knees and entered her from behind. He stroked against her, hitting her sensitive spots. Aerith winced but she slowly adjusted to his girth. When his strokes picked up the pace, Aerith began to pant. He gripped her waist tighter, and Aerith was sure he tried to mark her.

"Aerith," said Zack as he kneeled, "you're so gorgeous, especially your mouth." He cupped his hand against her cheek. "Why don't you open up for me?" Aerith moaned and Zack took off his gloves with his teeth. "I think you're ready for me now."

He placed his thumb in her mouth and gently guided her to his cock. Aerith gagged at first but like with Cloud, she got used to Zack's size. She licked and sucked on him while Zack placed his hands on the back of her head.

"You still have the pink bow," he said breathlessly. "That makes me so...oh!" His breath hitched. "I'm about to cum!"

"Me too," Cloud chimed.

Aerith wanted to cum with them. She could feel the build up as her eyes glossed over. Then, she spotted it, a tricolor lily, with pink, yellow and white on each petal.

You're such a pretty flower, she thought.

Aerith shuddered as the climax swept over her. Her stomach grew warm as she realized Cloud and Zack filled her with their essence. She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.

Chapter Four

"Aerith, are you okay in there?" asked Elmyra. She knocked on the door.

Aerith shot up in her bed. "Yes, mom, I'm okay."

"Okay, you were making weird noises in your sleep, so I was just checking on you."

Aerith flinched. "Good night, mom." She waited for her mom to retreat and then she lied down in fetal position.

I can't believe my mom heard me having an orgasm, she thought. She placed her hands over her face.

Then, she sat up and viewed her surroundings. Right now, she was not at the church. Zack and Cloud were nowhere. She wondered if her time at the church with them had been a dream. Still, it was so vivid. Aerith rolled over to go back to sleep, but she noticed something that wasn't there before. A tri-color lily plant bouquet was placed on her dresser. She wondered if maybe her mom left it, but she wasn't sure. Aerith believed it was a sign.

Zack and Cloud, she thought, I'll be ready for you.
