[ His face visibly scrunches up at that, but there's a guttural chuckle in the depths of his throat. Couldn't even remember this place? He knew Cloud's memories were always a little hazy, but he'd never expect a complete wipe from being gone. Maybe it was because of this world? Maybe because of what this place even was.

[It wasn't like he meant to forget it. One moment, he had gone back home, leaving Midgar to follow Sephiroth's trail with no recollection of the months prior in Songerein. The next, he somehow found himself here, in the dream world once more remembering the time he spent here and all his experiences over the last few weeks.
But before a single word of protest could leave his mouth, Zack's next comment catches him off-guard.]

[The mention of people missing him was enough of a surprise, but as Zack went on, naming Tifa then finally himself, Cloud could feel the blush creep on his cheeks, slowly spreading across his face. He tears his gaze away from Zack unable to meet his eyes, not knowing what to do with himself.
Especially after they had left things the night of Zack's confession. Especially knowing what he know now from their world.
He tries to cover his cheeks with one hand, eyes flitting over to Zack for the briefest of moments before looking away again.]

[ He'll admit, casting a glance to Cloud. ]

[ Annnnd then he'll drop it again. ]
