Title: My Work

Well, I decided to start this topic. I just want you to read this. This plot came from nowhere (maybe after watching AC again and again :whistle: ) and it contains one little spoiler. But it seems everyone know where Cloud lived before the film. So, enjoy :D
---------------------------------------
Slowly and quietly I come in. I’m a ghost after all. This place hasn’t changed: still sacred with its great columns, altar and with this patch of flowers, of course. They are still blossoming as if watered every day, as I used to do. So innocent and pure… My heart melts each time I see them or just think about them.
I make my way to the patch and kneel near it. I can feel their happiness at seeing me again. They almost stretch their stems in my direction. A smile escapes from my lips as I take in the scent of these beautiful flowers. White and yellow: my favorite ones. I used to run from my house just to watch them when I was little.
But now everything is so different. This one moment that I could come here, was allowed to me not to care about flowers.
Not about flowers.
My knees shake a bit as I come closer to a figure near the patch. He lies here, covered by a thin blanket, his hand under his head. I can’t hold back my smile, watching him sleeping. His living here was a sort of mystery for me. Until now. I can see one of my flowers pressed between his palms. I try not to giggle, but it’s very hard for me. I’m happy seeing him here, in my place, where we were introduced.
But it’s not only my place anymore. I can see his stuff here. Not too much, but enough for his way of living. He can swiftly pack his things and move somewhere when he has to. But for a certain reason, he lives here. And after this, I can call this church our place, because I know he can feel me here more than anywhere else.
This place means much to both of us. I have no doubts about this. It warms my ghost heart, knowing we have something special: this place to visit.
Suddenly he moves. I can feel my hands shivering, but I can’t stand up and disappear. I can’t take my gaze away from him. But he doesn’t open his beautiful blue eyes. He just rests his left palm on the wooden floor, uncovered by the sheet.
I sigh, soundless.
That scared me a lot. I can’t let him see me now. I need this moment: to just sit near him, to be able to touch him with my ghost hands.
But I can’t give him this feeling now. It would be cruel.
I desperately try to fight this temptation in my heart, in my mind. It's all I can do, to avoid touching his skin. I also rest my hand on the floor, only a few inches away from his. A small shiver runs through my ghost body.
I can feel this warmth from his body; feel his pain and despair, guilt and unwillingness to live. I can hear his soul screaming. I can touch these wounds in his heart.
But now I can’t do anything. And it would kill me if I wasn’t already … dead.
His next move really frightens me. He tries to reach for my hand as if it were real. As if he could feel me here. As if I was alive. But I quickly take my hand away and rest it on my chest. He frowns but doesn’t wake up. It cheers me. It means I have the whole night to watch him. Until the sun starts to rise. Until he starts to open his eyes.
