The Flower Girl

“Hello?”



Who was that? It sounded familiar. A female voice… It wasn’t Tifa…



“Are you okay?”



…He knew that much. Then who…



“Excuse me?”



…is it?



Cloud slowly opened his eyes. The scent of flowers hit his nose. He saw a girl leaning over him, hand on his forehead and worry in her green eyes.



“Are you alright?” she asked softly.



“Y-yeah… Where am I? Zack…!” Cloud sat up quickly.



And immediately regretted it. A groan passed his lips and he lay back. He looked at her.



“You fell from the sky.” She said. Just like he did. “Do you remember me?”



“I bought your flowers.”



She stood, delighted. “Mm-hm.” She turned to her garden. “Oh! My name. It’s Aerith.”



“Cloud.”



Aerith nodded. “A good name. free.”



He stood shakily. “I have to find Zack.”



Aerith said. “Do you know where he is?”



Cloud frowned. “He’s probably at Seventh Heaven.”



The flower girl told him. “Sector 7 slums? I’ll take you, if you’d like.”



“I- thank you.”



Aerith smiled. She nodded and continued tending to her garden. She leaned over, burying her nose in a yellow blossom, eyes closed.



Cloud heard the footsteps first. He looked over to the door of the church, eyes narrowing slightly.



“Why would a Turk be here?”



Aerith looked up. “Oh… Cloud, have you ever been a bodyguard?”



“No.”



“Will you?”



Cloud glanced at the door briefly. He nodded and stepped in front of Aerith.



“All you need to do is take me home. For… one date?”



“A date?” Cloud looked at her. “Could you instead take me to Seventh Heaven, please?”



She chuckled. “Of course. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean…”



“It’s okay.”



He looked around and saw his sword on the floor. Aerith slid it to him. He took it and faced the door.



“Reno of the Turks.” Cloud said in slight surprise.



The redhead tapped his EMR on his shoulder. He was even more surprised than Cloud.



“You made it, yo.” He murmured.



“Yeah. Thanks for the help.”



Reno looked back at the SOLDIERs. “Watch her for a minute, yo. I need a minute.”



Aerith watched as Reno led Cloud aside. The Turk had an interesting look on his face- a mixture of pain, confusion, and affection.



“What is it?” Cloud asked.



“Listen, yo.” Reno whispered. “The boss is still after you. You and Zack watch out, alright?”



“Isn’t this treason? Warning your enemies?”



Reno smirked. “I’m not on the case- yet, anyway. I… don’t want them to catch you.”



Cloud looked to the floor. “Reno, why-“



He shrugged. “Hey, I still care, yo. I’m sorry we couldn’t help you guys. We looked, we really did. Tseng even started

to care.” He laughed dryly. “I guess I kinda hoped I would find you without the black haired bastard.”



“What’s wrong with-“



“It’s not him personally, baby.” Reno said sadly.



Cloud blushed. “Listen, Reno, that was-“



“I know, I know. Before I made it into the Turks and all, yo.”



“Well, yeah, and before Zack and I-“



“Did you two do it?” Reno asked suddenly.



“Did we- what?”



The redhead sighed. “Did he bed you or what?”



Major blush for the blond. “…”



“Damn.” Reno frowned. “And there I was hoping for it, yo.”



Cloud looked back to Reno. “I’m dating Zack, Reno. Don’t forget it.”



“Listen, yo, I’m gonna wait for ya.” He smiled. “Don’t think I’m not gonna go for some-“



“Stop.”



Cloud turned away from Reno. “Stop, please. We’re over. Have been for years.”



Reno began to walk away from Cloud. “I’ll find you, baby. Trust me on this.”



Aerith heard bits of their conversation. When Reno advanced towards her, she slipped backwards. Cloud was at her side, gripping her wrist with one hand and holding her behind him.



“Go.” He whispered to her and released.



Aerith turned and headed up the steps quickly. Cloud sadly looked at Reno, who nodded.



“It’s between me and Fair, yo.”



Cloud almost asked what he meant, but the SOLDIERs began to advance. He turned after Aerith.



Reno watched them run with some regret. “Get the Ancient, yo. If you can, help me get blondie. Whatever you do, don’t hurt him.”



Cloud saw them coming after them. He jumped across a gap in the floor and waited for Aerith. She hesitated before leaping. With a cry, she fell and rolled down the pipe. Cloud cursed loudly. He looked up to see four barrels, then back down at the men advancing on Aerith.



Screw it. He jumped down at the SOLDIERs, sword swinging. Blood splattered his shirt slightly. Aerith stayed dry, for which he was thankful.



Reno smirked. “Never did like most SOLDIERs, yo. Useless for the most part.”



Cloud looked down at the slain SOLDIERs. “I didn’t want to kill anyone else.”



Reno whispered. “Sometimes we do things we don’t want to.”



Aerith pulled on Cloud’s sleeve. “Let’s go, Cloud.”



Reno said. “I failed this time, yo. I’ll find you two again. Don’t worry.”



Cloud said quietly. “I’m not.”



Aerith led him to the rooftop. They walked along in silence.



“Do they come after you often?” He finally asked.



“…Yeah.”



“That’s strange-“



“Come on, this way.” She cut him off. “Let’s go rest, then I’ll take you to your date.”



“I hope he’s- wait. You two dated, right?”



“...Yes.” She seemed reluctant to say anything more.



“He never told me.”



“There was no reason to.”



“I think I would have liked to know.”



“You wouldn’t have known me. It didn’t matter.”



Cloud accepted that and followed her across the buildings.



-T.B.C.-



Yup. So Reno and Cloud had a relationship before Zack, but they never slept together. More about that later. ^_^



So if you were confused about the whole "Reno looking for Zack and Cloud thing", go on Youtube and watch Last Order. Seriously. It's awesome. Then again, add the FF7 label to something, stick in these characters, and I'll probably like it. But really, you should watch it if you haven't. It send me into cursing fits, but that's just me, so...



I’m sure you’ve read it often enough, but once again, please review. They make me happy.
