Sluy's Bakery

[onnix]

"I can't see why, since the long coat doesn't make your ass look half bad."

[sephiroth]

"Really now?" He craned his neck,trying to look.

[onnix]

Onnix laughed aloud while watching Sephiroth nearly turn in circles like a dog chasing its tail. "You really are ridiculous!" Onnix tripped down the last few stairs from the distraction. She flailed her arms about to catch herself, and ended up laughing even harder from the embarrassment. The day wasn't turning out to be half bad.

Onnix stopped cold at the base of the stairs when her eyes caught the couple sitting on the bench before her. The couple looked sweet, lovely. The emptiness which continually consumed Onnix became painfully obvious once again, but she couldn't even feel jealousy.

[sephiroth]

He chuckled. "Well you still aren't half bad on heels.."

[onnix]

"We should go. I don't think we should bother them," Onnix said in a melancholy tone motioning Sephiroth's eyes toward the couple on the bench sharing a moment.

[sephiroth]

He closed his eyes in a slow blink,studying the two. His hand shook slightly as his temples suddenly began throbbing in agony. "Agh.."

[onnix]

Onnix held fast to Sephiroths wrists as his fingers wrought his temples. "Sephiroth are you okay? Need migraine medicine I know there's a pharmacy down aways."

[Aerith]

Aerith let out a soft sigh and placed her head on Zack's shoulder. Their backs where to Onnix and Sephiroth, and so they remained in complete obliviousness to them.

[sephiroth]

"Agh.." His eyes opened under a furrowed brow, the Jenova cells shimmering green beneath his pupils. "Only..5...gil..."

[Aerith]

Aeris's eyes widened as she jumped. She stood up and glanced around. Only when turning did she see what she feared... and loved, Sephiroth. The coffee spilled on the ground as she dropped it, her hand flying to her neck to cover the faint scar he had left from their last encounter.

[Zack]

Zack moved his feet to avoid having steaming coffee spilled on them.
“Hey!”
He said, jumping up and starting to scold her. He would stop though as he saw the look on her face. His curious eyes wandered over to where she was staring.
“You.”
He muttered in a grim tone, his eyes going sharp as he glared at the man. Taking Aeris briskly and hard by the arm he would pull her close to him and turn her around.
“Let’s go.”

[sephiroth]

The platinum haired man started laughing. "5 gil...heh..less than you charged Strife less than that..Zack.."

[onnix]

Onnix slowly began backing away from the scene, keeping her eyes fixed on Sephiroth. In a matter of seconds he had become the unsettling, fearsome, awesome creature she thought he was upon first sight in the library. Onnix, alarmingly, found herself unarmed. This was going to turn ugly, and she could not get ahold of her consciousness enough to simply run.

[Aerith]

Aeris smiled up into Zacks face,
"Trust me."
She said as she laid a hand on his shoulder. Her head turned to where she stared at him from behind her shoulder.
"That was a long time ago Sephiroth. You have replaced me, and I have replaced you."
She sighed wearily and leaned against Zack, her fingers tracing from the top of her new scar on her neck to her old one between her breasts.
"And I am not getting hurt again. Not by you."
She turned and this time walked willing on her own accord, Zacks arm protectively on her shoulder.
