…It hit her now just how little he changed physically (he still looked exactly as she remembered other than the new scars and clothes), but yet so drastically in others.
Gone was the boisterous teenager with the innocent, youthful exuberance, cocky smirk that seemed to be permanently etched onto his lips and in his confident swagger. There was a maturity to him that was even more drastic than after his mentor’s death; it was so much more bone-deep and personal. Whatever happened to Zack these past five years was beyond anything she could have even wanted to know or comprehend to make her playfully-coined, Zack the Puppy, into this haunted man before her now.
Lines and scars on his face that hadn’t been there before, heavy shadows under his still piercingly bright blue eyes that held more agony than a person should ever have to experience. A tiredness yet the hints of one ready to jolt at the sightless inclination of danger in his posture that spoke volumes for the man who had always had excess energy and was always moving but still retained such a laid-back attitude. So much had changed……
Yet, even considering all of it, this was still herZack…
Tears filled her eyes than slipped steadily down her cheeks as she took him in. Her Zack. Retaining that incredible gentleness when touching her, confident yet so sweet smile, soft tone of voice, sinfully handsome face surrounded by midnight black hair and of course, those magnificent eyes. Ones she could drown in and stay blithely adrift for the rest of her life.
Aerith’s gaze finally fell and froze on his smiling mouth - gorgeous plush pink-rose tinted lips beckoning her like a moth to a flame and she wouldn’t deny her wants anymore or ever again. Aerith had never been very forward in their relationship (Zack was usually the far more affectionate one) but she was going to change that now… Hands gently grasping his face, she leaned forward and pushed herself up on her knees to close the distance between their mouths.
With heart hammering wildly in her chest, Aerith kissed Zack in the very spot they first met.
And…wow, it was nothing like all their previous kisses or even their most intimate moments they shared all those years ago.
It was everything.
It was like finally coming home…
