[ A smile so genuine, so impactful in this moment that he only wished he could continue to have the strength to preserve this purity for them both. With the time that they have, he was going to make every minute. Every moment. Every day count, not just for trying to remember the person he used to be before he fought as an Ex-SOLDIER, but for being that piece of sanctuary for the woman that took his heart.
"She must be pretty special to have caught your attention, though."
His attention. His heart. His soul. When he's within these walls, or she's in his sight, Ayaka held every part of him within the palm of her hand. But it wasn't just these flecks in time where he kept his eyes on her that mattered. Being in his 'sight' meant that even when he had to say goodbye and get on that train...
She never left. For in his mind's eye, and everything rooted to his core, Cloud would take her kiss and cherish it. For as long as he still held this affection for her, these feelings that bloomed into something far deeper before the two ever dared utter the word, she was always with him. When he told her that he was lucky, he meant it. Even now, her omamori stays with him everywhere he goes, something so small yet so precious that reminded him of who was waiting for him. ]
