What's that supposed to mean, silly?

[lets_mosey.insanejournal.com]

What do you think?

I . . . I shouldn't be with you.

[pushesdaisies.insanejournal.com]

. . . why are you saying something like that, Cloud?

[lets_mosey.insanejournal.com]

I shouldn't be with anyone, especially not you.

[pushesdaisies.insanejournal.com]

That's not true. [reaching for one of his hands >: ]

[lets_mosey.insanejournal.com]

[pulls back]

I remembered watching you die.

[pushesdaisies.insanejournal.com]

[. . .]


That wasn't what happened.

[lets_mosey.insanejournal.com]

I drew my sword against you and almost killed you myself. If the others hadn't yelled, I would have.

[pushesdaisies.insanejournal.com]

But you didn't. You were fighting back the Calamity's influence! [reaching again]

[lets_mosey.insanejournal.com]

[pulling back again]

Are you saying I'm making this up? I wouldn't even know otherwise! I was never out of Jenova's influence, the whole time you knew me!

[pushesdaisies.insanejournal.com]

I didn't say that! I know how hard things were for you then, and I know they must be just as hard now.

[lets_mosey.insanejournal.com]

I watched you die. I lied to you and everyone else. I couldn't face the truth, that I watched Zack die, that I'd become nothing but a puppet -- Why are you even bothering to defend that?

[pushesdaisies.insanejournal.com]

I'm not defending a puppet. That's not what you are. You might have been confused then, but I've seen the real Cloud here.

[lets_mosey.insanejournal.com]

[shakes his head]

You're better off without me, Aeris.

[pushesdaisies.insanejournal.com]

[you know what? YOU KNOW WHAT?]




No I'm not.

[lets_mosey.insanejournal.com]

. . .

[pushesdaisies.insanejournal.com]

Tell me Cloud, how is my life better if I stay away from you?

[lets_mosey.insanejournal.com]

I'm dangerous. You can't rely on me!

[pushesdaisies.insanejournal.com]

Everything here is dangerous. Anyone, on any team could be forced to hurt anyone else. A lot of them don't even think about it anymore. But the difference between every one else and Cloud is that I don't love anyone else the way I love you.

[lets_mosey.insanejournal.com]

You can't. After all I've done-- everything and everyone I've failed. You need to stay away from me. You and Zack and Frey and Charlie all believed in me, and I failed again! Maybe I was never even struggling!

[pushesdaisies.insanejournal.com]

. . .



I refuse.

[lets_mosey.insanejournal.com]

. . . You can't!

[pushesdaisies.insanejournal.com]

Yes I can. You're telling me to stay away from you, and I'm telling you that I won't and I'm not going to, no matter what you say. I refuse.

[lets_mosey.insanejournal.com]

[looking a little desperate]

Sephiroth controls me already!

[pushesdaisies.insanejournal.com]

I still refuse.
