Poor, poor, fucked up in the head Cloud, and non-wanting to distress on Aeris's part. *grins* Remember, she knew she wasn't going to make it, and was hoping he would get together with someone else. *grins*

And I love how everyone keeps coming to this scene for whatever reason. It was one of my favorites to write.

I haven't gotten too far into the game yet, and Cloud and Aeris have only met the once. Though now I'm going to try to get them to date when it comes to that.
