You can have all the moments you want Zack.
[ Aerith doesn't know if that's the truth, but, as she lifts her head to press a kiss, first to his forehead and then to the bridge of his nose, it is what she wishes were true. She wants this to last. Wants Zack to always be able to reach for her and find her close by.
With a quiet sigh, she turns her head slightly, enough to kiss both of his cheeks, her arms going tight around him again, as though she could keep them both anchored to this moment through force of will alone. ]
We should go to my house. You can get some rest there, it's safe.
[ She doesn't know what her mom's response will be but she'll deal with that later. Her mother knows how long she's waited for Zack's return, and they both have experience with chasing off Shinra, should her worst fears turn out to be true. ]
