[Private to Cloud]

Hey, Spike, I'm moving out for a while. Just figured I'd let you know.


[Zack's packing in his room. Hope you're about ready to go, Aerith.]

[BARGING INTO ROOM.]

[What is that noi- oh, hey, Cloud. He was just finishing. :|]

[Cloud holds up his journal, practically shaking.] What the hell is this?

[...Crap. Zack hadn't expected him to notice it so quickly. Play it cool, play it casual, then.] Just what it says. I'm taking off for a bit.

Why? [Cloud goes from angry to hurt in the blink of an eye.] Did I do something wrong?
wingenvy: (imma grimace nao k)

[jhgsajf shit, shit, that's not what he wanted at all.] No, Cloud- it's not your fault. I just need some time on my own, okay? I'll be back. I promise, I'll come back. I just... [Need to take care of Aerith, too.] ...I have to do this.

[Action]

Didn't you tell me I shouldn't run? That I should stay and let everyone -let you- take care of me? [Cloud drops the journal, uncaring of where it lands.] Does that not apply to you or something?
wingenvy: (throw your love around)

...Who said I was running away? I never told you why I was leaving.

[Action]

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Then why, if it's not my fault? Why're you going?
wingenvy: (it's a new life for me)

[personal profile] wingenvy 2009-07-08 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
Because it's something I have to do. I can't really explain it.

[He can't exp-]

Well you better try.
wingenvy: (where once was pity)

...There's someone I have to look after.

[Action]

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
You can bring them here. [The offer comes out very rushed, and Cloud winces inwardly. He sounds pathetically desperate.]
wingenvy: (and a bold world for me)

[Action]

[personal profile] wingenvy 2009-07-08 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
[...Oh, Cloud. You're so sad and clueless - you can't even remember she's already here.] No, I can't. If I could, I'd do it, but...

[...God, this is hard.]

Will you trust me, Cloud?

[Action]

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
I-I'll go with you. I'll ask Tifa to look after the boys, she wouldn't mind.
wingenvy: (and today is the day we've waited for)

Cloud. [He knows it's hard, but come on.]

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
...why can't you tell me? [That's what's making him nervous. If Zack would just tell him honestly exactly what was going on, he'd be fine. But with him being so vague...]
wingenvy: (a celebration)

[Action]

[personal profile] wingenvy 2009-07-08 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Because it'll upset you more than you need right now. I'll explain it when I come back if I have to, but until then, I can't. I'm sorry.

This is upsetting me.

[Action]

[identity profile] gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
[This might upset you more, Cloud: Aerith knocks lightly on Zack's door and lets herself in.]

Ready, Za--? oh.

...Hi, Cloud.
wingenvy: (please tell us why)

[Action]

[personal profile] wingenvy 2009-07-08 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[.....Shit.]

A...Aerith. Hey. Not quite ready yet.

[Action]

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
[...oh.

Oh. So this was it. A girl. She didn't look particularly troubled, either. In fact, she'd sounded downright chipper. She even knew his name. Zack must've told her all about him.

...God. He can't even...he has no idea what to even say.]

[Action]

[identity profile] gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, she's looking quite a bit more troubled now that she's seeing Cloud's reaction to her being here. She's not even sure if she should say anything; she's a stranger to him after all. And...in how he's probably interpreting the situation...not just a stranger, but an intruder.]

So, should I...

[Never quite finishes that question.]
wingenvy: (everybody's in the lane)

[personal profile] wingenvy 2009-07-08 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
...No. It's okay. You're just stopping by to walk with me, right? [Zack steps past Cloud, patting Aerith's shoulder.] This is Aerith, the one I'm going to look after. Nothing serious, right?

[Action]

[identity profile] herobydefault.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He'd picked her.

Walked right past Cloud. To her. Touched her shoulder, told her it was all right. Comforted her. Had the gall to look at Cloud and lie through his teeth. "Nothing serious," bullshit. Zack was a flirt. Zack was a ladies' man. And apparently...Zack had decided to move on. He was done with Cloud.

Cloud had experienced heartbreak...but never like this. Looks like he didn't want you after all.

Cloud's hands were shaking -everything was shaking- and he turns jerkily, forcing out a quick, choked phrase-] Forget it. [-before making straight for the door.]
