Warnings: TL;DR. Spoilers for Crisis Core and Zack and Cloud's history, but an instance of headcanon.
Effects: (optional) Feelings of worry and as if your sanity is beginning to slip away...

I lie awake because I'm scared, I'm not as fake as you once heard... )

[ Aerith watches silently, taking in the scene with an uncharacteristic frown on her face. She knew only what Zack had told her when she first arrived. About how he and Cloud had been taken in for crazy experiments from an even crazier man, about the mako poisoning the woman in the dream mentioned that wasn't that uncommon in their world, and about how he died. True, this was a dream, or it was suppose to be a dream, but the way Zack reacted when he woke up said otherwise. She could only assume that this was something that had actually happened prior to his death. Duh.

She says nothing. Absolutely nothing. No joking comment, no jab at him for being a sap. Nothing. In fact there's a spark of what might have been a hurt look before she just turns the dreamberry off and goes about her business. ]

[Some time later when Zack finally sees Aerith's reply, he's not sure how to react. Should he say something? She was obviously affected by his dream, not that he can blame her.

He doesn't want to hurt her anymore. But he'll take his chances.]

...Aerith?

[ She's almost surprised he called back. Here she had been hoping he wouldn't see the accidental video response to this dream, but she couldn't really help it. ]

Yes Zack?

You okay?

[...Well that was a stupid question, Zack.]

[Lightning had seen glimpses of what had happened to the both of them through Cloud's dreams. They were blurred, surreal but powerful all the same. Though, this one was just too much. Seeing a friend suffer in such a way through a more direct perspective. Seeing someone slowly disintegrate, both mentally and physically. It was gut wrenching, sickening but above all else, incredibly sad.]

You two have been through a lot, huh?

[Physically carrying said friend only adds onto it, Lightning. Listening to their labored breathing, hoping every step you take is worth it in the end, will get them home. Suddenly your life isn't worth a damn, just as long as they get through it.]

Yeah. Yeah, we have.

[She can only imagine, Zachary. Not that she'd want to though. She sighs, suddenly feeling just a tad guilty. Her situation isn't all that great, but his had been arguably worse. She pushed all of her problems on him, albeit involuntarily, when he had his own to deal with. Selfish.]

You're a good friend, Zack. He's lucky to have you.

[He shrugs.]

It's nothin'. I would hope anyone else in my boots would've done the same.

[Hold on a sec, Belgium. Zack's going to get out of the room so as not to disturb a sleeping Cloud.]

Hey, Belgium. That was...

[That was what? The worst year of Zack's waking life? Well, yes, but surely Cloud deserves some privacy. We'll just drop that subject.]

Mako poisoning is when the body has been exposed to too much mako, part of our Planet's Lifestream, or life force. It's dangerous and when someone has too much of it in their system, they go catatonic and only a matter of time will help them snap out of it, if they're lucky.

In short, it's bad.

Oh... it sounds bad. Part of the whole SOLDIER thing?

[She noticed he dropped what happened, but she supposed it was his business. She wouldn't force him to tell her if it was personal.]

Kinda. Every SOLDIER eventually gets mako injections to become stronger, but only if their body can take it, 'cause it's a really dangerous procedure.

This was for a completely different reason, though.

Huh? Yeah.

[But you see that grin? Something's missing from it.]

[Watch! as he runs a hand through his already messy hair.]

Sorry. It's kinda rough dreamin' about that stuff.

You could say that.

[she's about to ask about the mako thing but then notices something.

...wait.

wait.]

Hold up, you and Cloud--you--[and now she's laughing] Now this I wouldn't have guessed!

[...Thanks, Fang. That's awful sweet of you. :| And now he's gonna leave the room so Cloud can sleep in peace, thanks. Don't mind the lack of shirt.]

Now you know.
