Pairings/Characters: Zack x Aerith
"Hey, Aerith!"
Zack jumped off the ledge and began trotting up to her, carrying his guitar by the neck, careful not to bump anyone with it. Aerith, with a tray of saplings in her arms, stopped to watch him approach, a small smile on her lips. She swayed on her heels, her light blue dress following her movements.
"Yes, Zack?" she giggled, looking up at him. She knew the real reason why Zack hung around the greenhouse area instead of where he usually sat with that guitar of his, but she didn't address it. He was cuter when he thought he was being sneaky.
And sneaky he believed he was being. "Glad I caught you! I was just hanging around, and, well, I have something for you!" he said, bouncing on the balls of his feet, beaming at her. With a curious tilt of her head, Aerith prompted him to continue. "C'mon, it's better if I'm sitting right over the--"
Aerith interrupted, and Zack was more than happy to let her. "Let me put these in their new home, and then you can show me. Okay?"
"Yeah! That's more than okay!"
She allowed another giggle and went to deliver the young plants to the greenhouse. While she carefully tucked them into their soil beds, she snuck peeks at Zack, who was waiting outside, waving at the countless people he knew whom just happened to be walking by, and shifting from foot to foot anxiously. They had known each other for years, and while their relationship wasn't necessarily official--he never actually asked her to be his girlfriend, things just fell into place that way--it was every bit real.
After watering the plants, mothering over every single one, she exited the greenhouse, clasped her hands behind her back, and approached Zack. "Ready!"
Zack beamed and nodded his head over in the direction of a small area with a few benches littering the premise. "Alright! Let's go over there, don't want you to miss anything."
They walked together in elated silence, tempted to hold hands but quietly daring the other to initiate it. But Zack was handling his guitar and Aerith wasn't about to distract him from his special surprise, so they continued on in happiness without the trimmings of sweetheart adoration. Zack plopped down on a bench, and got into guitar-playing position.
"If you wanna sit, be my guest." he said with a grin, looking up at her. She laughed and shook her head.
"I'm fine up here! It's not everyday I get to be taller than you."
Zack chuckled, strumming a chord before answering. "Yeah, got a point there. But, uh, what I wanted to show you..." He tuned a string, shifted on the bench to get more comfortable. "I wrote you a song, and I think you should be the first to hear it."
Aerith had been expecting that, Zack was a terrible secret-keeper, but hearing him confirmed it made her blush. Oh, this boy...he was always full of sweetness and charm, and knew exactly how to win her heart over and over, even if he didn't know it himself. She nodded excitedly, smiling at him wider than before.
"Alright! I'm all ears, Zack."
They exchanged blushing smiles, and Zack began to play.
