He draped a wing over her. He massaged his wings.
He rubbed her back.
He laid down beside the infant next to him. He only clung to him tighter as he buried his face in his neck.
"Sorry." He hugged his neck tightly.
"Hey Zack, why did you join SOLDIER?"
"Cease. Wouldn't be the first time I passed up a mission."
"I was just toying with Cloud is all."
He sent him through a portal to the dark realm. "Try not to let it consume you." He said playfully. He let go of him.
He grabbed his hand and held it in front of Cloud's face, showing him the black claws starting to grow. "Clearly."
"Do you not feel the darkness willing your wing to grow so it can have more space?" He rolled his eyes. "You hit the ceiling."
He gently rubbed the still-mangled darkness wing on his back.
"I know you hate looking at and smelling you-know-who." He used his free hand to slam his head into the floor. "Did I give you permission to look at me?!"

Battle right after Destiny Islands. "Well, I can't kill her."

His lips twitched before falling back against his teeth and he growled inwardly as his body refused to kill her. "What is this feeling?"
