Zack says, "You'll burn yourself"

sephiroth says, "oh"

Cloud Strife sits up and blinks

sephiroth looks over at Cloud. then back to Zack

sephiroth says, "was it just us..... or was he talking to the air all last night?"

Zack puts a few sticks on the embers.....

Zack says, "He was talking to the air again"

Rufus Shinra kisses Cloud's cheek

Rufus Shinra says, "we should head for Midgar"

Cloud Strife ignores Zack and Sephiroth

Cloud Strife says, "Midgar.... Yes..."

Sephiroth pulls Zack back and kisses him deeply

Rufus Shinra says, "I hope those two get dressed some time"

Cloud Strife says, "Cant I just leave them here?"

Rufus Shinra says, "They might come in handy. Sephiroth is an expert with a sword and Zack... he's good with fires"

Zack wriggles away from Sephiroth and goes over to the stream... then starts splashing around in the water

Zack says, "Cold!!"

Sephiroth says, "awwww"

Sephiroth goes after Zack

Cloud Strife says, "I don't wanna baby-sit them...."

sephiroth says, "I'll heat it up"

Rufus Shinra says, "that's true... but then how will you get into Midgar?"

sephiroth moves over to Zack in the water

Cloud Strife says, "Sneak in.. its gonna be hard dragging those two"

Rufus Shinra says, "Then what?"

sephiroth raps his arms around Zack

Cloud Strife says, "Kill..."

Rufus Shinra says, "How will you manage that?"

sephiroth kisses the back of Zack's neck

Zack splashes Sephiroth

Sephiroth says, "hmmm... water Cold... me heat up"

Sephiroth presses himself into Zack

Rufus Shinra nuzzles Cloud's neck

Zack says, "Seph... Mmmph.. It's a little early for that"

Sephiroth says, "early?"

Rufus Shinra says, "Leave them if you think you can do it on your own... and if you think you can get away from them"

Cloud Strife says, "They are busy right now... But... will they be able to take care of themselves?"

Rufus Shinra says, "They are both insane... I don't think so"

Cloud Strife stands up and starts walking upstream

Rufus Shinra follows him

sephiroth thrusts gently into him

Zack growls softly and tries to get his hands on Sephiroth

Cloud Strife walks until he is out of sight and looks at the stream

sephiroth is behind Zack like usual

Cloud Strife sits down on a rock

Cloud Strife says, "I didn't want to watch them...."

Rufus Shinra says, "Same here"

Rufus Shinra sits down next to him and flicks back his hair... an old mannerism that still persists to his ghost state

sephiroth thrusts more into Zack

Cloud Strife says, "Watching them makes me want....."

Rufus Shinra says, "I know...."

Rufus Shinra sighs again

Zack moans

sephiroth kisses his neck as he goes as deep as he can into him

Rufus Shinra says, "Cloud..."

Cloud Strife says, "Hmmm?"

Rufus Shinra says, "I could never have given you what you desire... even alive...."

Rufus Shinra closes his eyes and sighs

Cloud Strife says, "I know...."

Rufus Shinra says, "and yet you'd prefer me to some one who can give you what you want?"

Cloud Strife says, "I never expected you to.... no matter how much I desired... Rufus.... you're the only one whose ever treated me human"

Rufus Shinra says, "Why did you never expect me?"

sephiroth reaches his climax and pushes himself and Zack into the water

Cloud Strife says, "I never expected you to.... because... I knew you hurt ..... "

Rufus Shinra says, "in that way?"

Zack lifts his head out of the water

sephiroth finishes and lays back in the water

Cloud Strife says, "I could... tell.. by the way you acted"

Rufus Shinra says, "what way?"

Cloud Strife says, "At any mention of sex.... even if I made a movement or touch close to it.... you tensed....."

Rufus Shinra says, "and became catatonic..."

Zack plays around in the water

Cloud Strife nods

sephiroth licks his lips, laying in the water

Rufus Shinra says, "so... did you always know I'd been...."

Cloud Strife says, "I assumed.... wasn't sure by whom"

Rufus Shinra says, "... my own father..."

Rufus Shinra sniffles

sephiroth says, "Didn't know you liked water Zack"

Cloud Strife says, "I promised I will kill him... or die trying"

Rufus Shinra says, "I know"

Rufus Shinra nuzzles at his neck

Cloud Strife sighs and embraces Rufus... whose form is a bit more defined

sephiroth says, "Water puts out fire"

Rufus Shinra smiles... feeling Cloud's arms around him

Rufus Shinra says, "I love you"

Zack says, "Its fun playing in the water....."

sephiroth says, "why?"

Cloud Strife says, "I love you too"

Zack says, "When was the last time you were able to be outside?"

sephiroth says, "good point. not since I cut my throat"

Zack says, "Why'd you do that?"

sephiroth says, "to see the blood"

Zack says, "That was dumb"

sephiroth says, "I wound up passing out.. and when I woke up there was a bandage around my throat and I was strapped to a bed in that hospital"

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm glad you can see me"

Cloud Strife says, "If you weren't.... here I'd be angry"

Rufus Shinra says, "I was afraid.... that even though I hadn't left... you'd think I had"

Cloud Strife says, "I'd be.. worse than Zack and Sephiroth"

Rufus Shinra says, "how?"

sephiroth fingers the scar around his throat

sephiroth says, "it was fun... but I didn't like getting passed out"

Cloud Strife says, "I would just be on a rampage... There's a lot of rage inside me....."

Rufus Shinra nods

Sephiroth looks at Zack

Sephiroth says, "how did you wind up there any way"

Rufus Shinra kisses Cloud

Zack says, "I lit one too many things on fire... passed out from smoke inhalation"

Rufus Shinra says, "well.. vent it on my old man"

Cloud Strife nods

Sephiroth says, "heh"

Cloud Strife says, "Most of its sexual frustration....Y'know..."

Rufus Shinra sighs

Cloud Strife says, "Don't be upset... it's not your fault!"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes it is..."

Cloud Strife says, "No it's not...."

Zack says, "you think its funny pretty boy?"

Sephiroth says, "yeah"

Rufus Shinra says, "but Cloud... it is"

Cloud Strife says, "Its not.... "

Zack pushes Sephiroth's head down in the water

Rufus Shinra says, "why?"

Sephiroth holds his breath

Zack pulls Sephiroth's hair back up

Zack says, "still funny?"

Cloud Strife says, "Because... its not your fault at all"

Sephiroth says, "yeah"

Rufus Shinra sighs. cuddles into Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "we should keep moving"

Sephiroth says, "what you doing Zack?"

Cloud Strife says, "I can't leave them..."

Zack says, "Wondering where the lunatic went"

Sephiroth says, "oh"

Sephiroth says, "why's he a lunatic?"

Zack says, "He talks to air man....."

Sephiroth says, "oh"

Sephiroth gets out with him. finds his clothing and gets dressed

Rufus Shinra says, "fine.... then we wait for them then go to Midgar"

Zack says, "Furthermore... he left us alone in the woods...."

Sephiroth says, "ug.. not good"

Sephiroth tosses Zack his clothing

Zack pulls on his clothes

Sephiroth says, "Come on... let's find dog boy"

Rufus Shinra pokes Cloud gently

Rufus Shinra says, "I think they are coming dearest"

Rufus Shinra kisses his cheek softly

Zack starts walking upstream

sephiroth follows after him

sephiroth says, "ahhh.. I see Cloud"

sephiroth turns to Zack

sephiroth says, "you see him?"

Cloud Strife looks up from where he is sitting

Rufus Shinra says, "here they come"

Zack says, "Of course I see him..... he's sitting his little ass right there in front of us"

Cloud Strife nods

sephiroth says, "hi dog boy. you miss us?"

Rufus Shinra stands up

Cloud Strife says, "Didn't miss you at all....."

Sephiroth says, "oh...."

Sephiroth frowns

Rufus Shinra says, "we need to get to Midgar"

Cloud Strife says, "Rufus? Miss them?"

Rufus Shinra says, "nope"

Sephiroth turns to Zack

Cloud Strife says, "we're agreed"

Sephiroth says, "he's still talking to the air"

Zack says, "Let him talk to the damned air... as long as he doesn't bite me"

Rufus Shinra says, "why does Zack think he's sane?"

sephiroth says, "ok... mother agrees with that"

Cloud Strife says, "Well he certainly isn't sane..... although he can pull off a pretty good impression of it"

sephiroth says, "yes... he does in deed"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes he does indeed. Cloud... what did you think when you first found me... when I was rather catatonic on a floor?"

sephiroth yawns

sephiroth says, "where we going?"

Cloud Strife says, "I thought you were dead frankly"

Cloud Strife stands up and starts walking...

Rufus Shinra says, "what did you do?"

Rufus Shinra is in a catatonic state in the corner of the room

sephiroth is in the shower... raping Zack like usual

Cloud Strife prowls over to Rufus... inspecting the person who has invaded his territory

Zack is screaming his head off as usual

sephiroth puts a hand over Zack's mouth to stop him from screaming

sephiroth says, "no need to scream cutie... mother says you are being to loud..."

Cloud Strife prods at Rufus

Rufus Shinra does not move

Zack looks for a wall socket

sephiroth finishes inside him and lets him go

Rufus Shinra just sits in his corner

sephiroth says, "ahhh.. that's better Cutie"

Rufus Shinra smells of booze

Cloud Strife sits in front of the intruder and watches him intently

Rufus Shinra blinks and starts to come out of it... lifting his head up a little

sephiroth kisses Zack and heads out of the shower

Zack says, "bastard... Im gonna burn your ass...."

sephiroth says, "why?"

Zack says, "Cuz you won't keep your dick to yourself!"

sephiroth says, "you're cute"

Zack says, "bugger off"

Rufus Shinra looks at Cloud

sephiroth says, "why?"

Cloud Strife cocks his head to one side

Rufus Shinra says, "why you there?"

Cloud Strife blinks

Rufus Shinra cocks his head too

sephiroth goes back to his room

Rufus Shinra moves into a sitting position

Zack sniffles and hides in his room

Cloud Strife continues to stare at Rufus

Rufus Shinra stares back

Rufus Shinra says, "why are you staring at me?"

Cloud Strife doesn't answer.... just sits there and stares

Rufus Shinra sighs and stares at the floor

Cloud Strife edges closer to Rufus

Rufus Shinra says, "we are all loonies trapped in a loony bin.. but it's evil crazies that run the world"

sephiroth falls asleep on his bed

Cloud Strife reaches out and touches Rufus

Rufus Shinra draws back into the corner

Cloud Strife looks at Rufus and pursues him

Rufus Shinra sniffles... putting his head in his arms

Cloud Strife puts his hand on Rufus' shoulder

Rufus Shinra sniffles again... trying to draw back tightly as he can into the corner

Cloud Strife draws away and flops out in a sunbeam coming in a window....

Rufus Shinra lifts his head up again and studies Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "who are you?"

Cloud Strife yawns and stretches out.. then closes his eyes

Rufus Shinra moves to his hands and moves over to Cloud... moving like an animal

Cloud Strife opens his eyes and looks at Rufus... sensing his approach

Rufus Shinra squats down next to him

Cloud Strife yawns

Rufus Shinra studies him

Cloud Strife moves over in the sunbeam... allowing room for Rufus if he chooses to join him

Rufus Shinra lays down with Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "the light is nice... never used to see it... and it's hard to find in here too"

Cloud Strife nods slightly

Rufus Shinra says, "why are you here?"

Cloud Strife shrugs slightly

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm on suicide watch... got put in here after getting revived from a suicide attempt.... they still have to revive me every once and a while"

Rufus Shinra sighs and runs his fingers through his hair

Rufus Shinra says, "I still want to die"

Cloud Strife cocks his head to the side.... wondering why such a pretty man would want to die

Rufus Shinra sniffles and closes his eyes

Rufus Shinra says, "why must they revive me?"

Cloud Strife pats Rufus on the head affectionately

Rufus Shinra frowns

Rufus Shinra says, "just because I'm the President's son...."

Rufus Shinra sniffles and trembles a little

Cloud Strife backs off a little

Rufus Shinra looks at Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "why do you back off?"

Cloud Strife moves closer again... but is worried that it will scare this new person

Rufus Shinra sighs

Cloud Strife . o O ( He makes me feel funny.... but... I get close and he tenses..... )

Rufus Shinra says, "I have no friends... I don't want to be near my only family..."

Rufus Shinra shutters and trembles again

Cloud Strife puts his hand out to Rufus

Rufus Shinra looks at the hand

Rufus Shinra says, "what that for?"

Cloud Strife keeps his hand outstretched and looks at Rufus intently

Rufus Shinra moves a hand out slowly and taps Cloud's

Cloud Strife blinks... and keeps his hand outstretched

Rufus Shinra draws his hand back... confused

Cloud Strife drops his hand back down and sighs.... noting the confused look

Rufus Shinra says, "what was the hand for?"

Cloud Strife puts his hand out again.. and curls it slightly... then makes a motion as if he is shaking hands

Rufus Shinra gets confused but slowly brings his hand out. moves it for Cloud's

Cloud Strife takes Rufus' hand in his own and clasps it gently... leaving him able to pull it out of his grip if he wishes

Rufus Shinra feels Cloud's hand clasping his and does not find it unpleasant

Cloud Strife smiles

Rufus Shinra wonders what Cloud's smile means and squints his brows

Cloud Strife brings Rufus' hand up to his lips and licks it... giving his version of a handshake

Rufus Shinra blinks at the lick and almost wants to draw his hand back again... but doesn't

Cloud Strife . o O ( he doesn't understand a handshake? Why is he so scared? )

Rufus Shinra says, "what are you doing?"

Rufus Shinra studies Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "why did you lick my hand?"

Cloud Strife moves his fingers

Rufus Shinra looks at Cloud's fingers. touches them gently. continues to poke at Cloud's fingers

Cloud Strife makes a soft chirring sound

Rufus Shinra thinks of something and gets to his hands and feet... still poking Cloud's fingers

Cloud Strife watches Rufus

Rufus Shinra cocks his head and pokes his hand

Cloud Strife gets a strange smile on his face

Rufus Shinra lays his head down next to Cloud. looks at him some more

Cloud Strife moves his hand slowly.. and brushes his fingertips through Rufus' hair

Rufus Shinra moves his head closer to Cloud.. laying down on his belly

Cloud Strife continues to slowly stroke Rufus' hair.... sensing that this doesn't make him as tense as other touches

Rufus Shinra nestles into Cloud's side... relaxing

Cloud Strife smiles .... happy that this person isn't scared of him like everyone else

Rufus Shinra says, "you are warm and you are not hurting me"

Cloud Strife smiles

Rufus Shinra sighs softly

Rufus Shinra says, "I hurt too much.... I just want to die and never feel pain again"

Cloud Strife whimpers

Rufus Shinra looks at Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "what's wrong?"

Rufus Shinra prods Cloud a little

Cloud Strife looks at Rufus

Rufus Shinra says, "why are you whimpering?"

Cloud Strife . o O ( he doesn't want to be a friend... he just wants to die..... )

Rufus Shinra taps his hand softly.. knowing he likes it

Cloud Strife sighs softly

Rufus Shinra says, "What's wrong?"

Rufus Shinra looks at Cloud... pursing his lips

Rufus Shinra says, "Please... let me know what's wrong"

Cloud Strife pushes his hair out of his face and examines his hands... trying to figure out why this person wants to die but yet... seems to care about him enough to keep asking questions

Rufus Shinra prods him gently. sighs.. thinking Cloud will never respond to him

Cloud Strife moves his lips in a soft murmur...

Rufus Shinra cocks his head... seeing Cloud's lips move and tries to hear what he might say

Cloud Strife takes a finger and places it to Rufus's lips

Rufus Shinra feels the finger against his lips

Rufus Shinra says, "does that mean for me not to talk or that you are mute?"

Cloud Strife kisses his finger then places it against Rufus' lips again

Rufus Shinra wonders if that means he should not talk. kisses the finger cause it's there and he feels like it

Cloud Strife smiles

Rufus Shinra nestles into Cloud's side again

Cloud Strife puts an arm around Rufus... hoping it doesn't frighten him

Rufus Shinra tenses for a second... put feels the warmth and tenderness of the arm and relaxes

Cloud Strife closes his eyes and grins..... wondering exactly what it is he feels about this man

Rufus Shinra leans his head into him

Rufus Shinra says, "please... just don't hurt me"

Cloud Strife makes a soft sound and ruffles Rufus' hair

Rufus Shinra says, "what was that?"

Rufus Shinra ruffles Cloud's hair back

Cloud Strife moves his face close to Rufus' and looks him in the eyes

Rufus Shinra looks back into Cloud's eyes

Rufus Shinra says, "what is that I see in your eyes?"

Cloud Strife has a strange twinkle in his eyes... which pretty much gives away his whole disposition about Rufus

Rufus Shinra says, "do you ever talk?"

Cloud Strife shrugs

Rufus Shinra says, "I would like to know your name... mine is Rufus"

Cloud Strife says, "Cloud"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "you spoke Cloud"

Cloud Strife smiles

Rufus Shinra pulls his arms around Cloud. smiles faintly back

Rufus Shinra says, "Why do you hardly speak?"

Cloud Strife says, "nothin important to say... "

Rufus Shinra says, "well... I'll talk and you can listen... ok?"

Cloud Strife nods

Rufus Shinra cuddles him for the first time

Rufus Shinra says, "you are kind. I've never hugged anyone before"

Rufus Shinra sighs softly

Rufus Shinra says, "why are you in here?"

Cloud Strife says, "I am...... bad.."

Rufus Shinra says, "bad?"

Cloud Strife nods

Rufus Shinra says, "why bad?"

Cloud Strife says, "kill....."

Rufus Shinra says, "oh... I was trying to kill myself"

Cloud Strife says, "I kill....."

Rufus Shinra says, "just that would not get you sent here... it would land you in jail"

Cloud Strife says, "not..... same"

Cloud Strife blinks

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm suicidal.. though sometimes I get into a killer rage... never killed anyone though"

Cloud Strife spins a finger around his ear

Rufus Shinra says, "what you doing?"

Cloud Strife reaches out and tickles Rufus

Rufus Shinra chuckles

Rufus Shinra says, "what is that?"

Cloud Strife smiles and knocks Rufus over.... then begins to tickle him

Rufus Shinra says, "hheheeehhehe"

Cloud Strife nuzzles at Rufus' neck.. still tickling him playfully

Rufus Shinra giggles as he is tickled. tries to tickle Cloud back

Cloud Strife laughs and squirms a bit

Rufus Shinra says, "heh. what are we doing?"

Cloud Strife . o O ( this is the first time.... anyone..... has ever wanted to ..... play with me..... or even touch me fondly.... )

Cloud Strife says, "having... fun"

Rufus Shinra says, "oh... fun... I know a little about that"

Cloud Strife says, "I like... you"

Rufus Shinra says, "like?"

Cloud Strife nods

Rufus Shinra blinks a few seconds... a few old memories floating back to him. sniffles

Cloud Strife says, "I... do wrong?"

Rufus Shinra says, "is ok... just brought back a bad memory"

Cloud Strife says, "get punished.... when wrong...."

Rufus Shinra says, "punished?"

Rufus Shinra trembles

Rufus Shinra says, "no no... no wrong here"

Rufus Shinra holds Cloud tighter... trembling

Cloud Strife says, "shhh....."

Rufus Shinra sniffles. clutches Cloud tighter... closing his eyes

Rufus Shinra says, "no one did wrong"

Cloud Strife says, "no..... shhh"

Rufus Shinra sniffles and continues to tremble while holding Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "I protect....."

Rufus Shinra falls asleep after a while... holding Cloud

Cloud Strife smiles... pleased that he has a new friend

Cloud Strife says, "I was a heck of a lot less eloquent back then...."

Rufus Shinra says, "I noticed"

Rufus Shinra sighs... remembering all of it. notices Zack and Sephiroth have fallen asleep against a tree

Cloud Strife says, "Lazy things"

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah... and insane"

Cloud Strife says, "They prolly can't help it ...."

Rufus Shinra says, "I wonder how they wound up that way though...."

Cloud Strife says, "No clue...."

Rufus Shinra sighs

Rufus Shinra says, "well... you were just different and killed some one... I was depressed and crazy from the pain"

Cloud Strife says, "I killed to protect....."

Rufus Shinra says, "I know. what where you thinking when you first saw me move after you knew I was not dead?"

Cloud Strife says, "I was hoping.... you would be a friend..... "

Rufus Shinra smiles. kisses his neck

Cloud Strife says, "They prolly can't help it ... you're more... though"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... more"

Rufus Shinra holds him tightly

Cloud Strife leans against Rufus.... but hears no heartbeat like he is accustomed to

Cloud Strife says, "Do you think... they believe I killed you?"

Rufus Shinra senses that and uses some will power to make a heart beat

Rufus Shinra says, "no.. I doubt it... not if they tested my body"

Cloud Strife says, "will they though?"

Rufus Shinra says, "I don't know"

Cloud Strife says, "You think they gonna come after me?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... and them.. *points at the sleeping two*"

Cloud Strife says, "They're going to hurt me... "

Rufus Shinra says, "I hope not"

Rufus Shinra leans his head on Cloud's shoulder

Rufus Shinra says, "we need to get to Midgar... shall we wake them or continue on?"

Cloud Strife says, "Can't leave them...."

Rufus Shinra says, "true"

Rufus Shinra kisses Cloud's cheek

Cloud Strife says, "Dopes..."

Rufus Shinra says, "why dopes dearest?"

Rufus Shinra kisses his neck

Cloud Strife says, "They fall asleep when we have to move... make me want things I cant have....."

Rufus Shinra sighs again

Rufus Shinra says, "I want you to have them"

Cloud Strife says, "I can't have them...."

Rufus Shinra says, "why?"

Cloud Strife looks at his fingers

Cloud Strife says, "Don't need them"

Rufus Shinra says, "but you said you wanted them"

Rufus Shinra frowns

Cloud Strife says, "I do... "

Rufus Shinra says, "you should have them"

Cloud Strife says, "But there is no one to give it so don't press the point"

Rufus Shinra says, "You need some one who can give it"

Rufus Shinra sighs and sits down

Cloud Strife says, "There is no one... "

Rufus Shinra says, "there has to be someone"

Cloud Strife shakes his head

Rufus Shinra looks down at the ground from where he is sitting by the tree. sniffles

Cloud Strife says, "Don't be sad... I understand why you couldn't"

Rufus Shinra says, "too much abuse"

Rufus Shinra strokes his fingers through his hair

Cloud Strife says, "There's no one who would want to live with me out in the woods.... and love me for who I am"

Rufus Shinra says, "I can only do the second bit. I already do that is why"

Cloud Strife sighs

Rufus Shinra says, "I love you... very much"

Cloud Strife says, "I know you do"

Rufus Shinra says, "That's the only reason I'm here"

Rufus Shinra sighs again

Cloud Strife says, "I love you too silly..... I can ignore my desires"

Rufus Shinra looks back up at him

Cloud Strife smiles

Rufus Shinra smiles as well

Rufus Shinra says, "You going to sit down and get some sleep like the other two?"

Cloud Strife says, "I guess"

Rufus Shinra opens up his arms to Cloud

Cloud Strife smiles and leans into his arms

Rufus Shinra smiles.... his back to the tree as he stays sitting on the ground

Cloud Strife says, "You're trying to get rid of me huh? telling me I gotta find someone to fulfil foolish desires...."

Rufus Shinra says, "no.... I just want you to be happy"

Cloud Strife says, "I am as happy.. as I can be "

Rufus Shinra kisses his cheek

Cloud Strife says, "You can't give it to me... so I will have to suffer"

Rufus Shinra says, "I don't want you to suffer"

Rufus Shinra caresses his cheek

Cloud Strife says, "Who would want me?"

Cloud Strife says, "And.... I'd hurt you if I went with someone else"

Rufus Shinra says, "you never know... and it would not hurt me cause I want you to be happy"

Cloud Strife says, "Trust me... no one wants me..... dearest you're all I have.. and I don't even know if you're just a figment of my imagination or not"

Cloud Strife sniffles

Rufus Shinra says, "Cloud.... how do you know I was ever real to begin with then?"

Cloud Strife says, "Everyone else could see you"

Rufus Shinra says, "what I mean is... if you think ME a figment right now... then how do you know Seph and Zack are not figments as well?"

Cloud Strife says, "Mebbe Im just an insane little boy huddled in a ball in some corner in a padded room.... Im not really here... If none of this was real then if I died right now it wouldn't matter"

Rufus Shinra says, "you could be... you'll never know,,,, but to me you are real"

Cloud Strife says, "This could all be a little fantasy devised by a lonely and psychotic mind"

Cloud Strife sniffles

Rufus Shinra says, "don't think like that Cloud"

Cloud Strife says, "Im alone and unwanted.... all I have.... is a ghost.... "

Rufus Shinra says, "that's better then nothing"

Rufus Shinra kisses Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "A ghost and unfilled desires..... but not needs"

Cloud Strife sniffles

Rufus Shinra says, "why do you cry?"

Cloud Strife says, "nothin...."

Rufus Shinra holds him

Rufus Shinra says, "sleep then dearest... you need your rest"

Cloud Strife sniffles and closes his eyes

Rufus Shinra kisses him... sad that Cloud is sniffling

Cloud Strife falls asleep in Rufus' lap
