Zack never thought he'd get a chance? In what universe would Cloud have ever said no? Cloud opens his mouth to say so, but then Brodoof is plopping down on his foot in a huff and Zack's holding his hand, and his face heats up again at this talk of kissing. Maybe this is all one big dream. Maybe any minute now, Cloud's alarm is going to go off and he'll wake up by himself in the barracks and try not to feel too embarrassed about this. But in the meantime...like hell is he going to pass up this opportunity.

He grips Zack's hand in return. "I-I believe you," he says hurriedly, not wanting Zack to think he's fishing for anything too soon, or anything like that. Then he chuckles at Grim going off to sulk. "What's his problem? Told you he didn't like me."
