She hadn’t expected this.
One moment, she was smiling at Cloud, happy to see him, then....
Pain. It hurt, for just a moment.
She didn’t understand what was happening, just that she hurt, then...nothing.
Arms wrapped around her.
“Hey there, babe.”
A familiar voice, long missing.
Sighing, Aeris leaned against the broad chest, feeling the arms tighten.
“Zack.”
“Wish I could say it was good to see you, but you shouldn’t be here. You and Spike were supposed to fall head over heels, save the world, and have lots of little kids. One of which was named after me, of course.”
Looking up at him, Aeris smiled weakly. “What...what happened?”
Zack’s smile was sad. “You died. I’m sorry.”
That just didn’t make sense. “What?”
He just hugged her tighter, and she curled her fingers into his shirt. “Zack?”
“I’m sorry.”
His voice was quiet, and he pressed a kiss against her hair. Leaning into him, Aeris made a soft sound. “I.... How?”
“Sephiroth.” The word was clipped, and the arms tightened on her.
She was dead. So was Zack. He wasn’t trapped anywhere, just waiting to get out. He wasn’t on some long term secret mission from Shin-Ra..
Zack was dead..
All the plans she had had, for her, with him, with Cloud. All of them, gone.
She cried for them all.
