"Wait, another one!"

Zack asked like an enthusiastic puppy before leaning in again to press his lips on yours again. His lips pressed on yours in a gentle kiss, his hand resting on your cheek in a delicate touch. It all started as just practice back when you lived in Gongaga. You were best friends, grew up side by side, so none of you thought of it as anything that serious when you decided to practice kissing together... But what started with small and chaste kisses slowly transformed in something different, something... More. Pecks on the lips slowly became longer and more passionate, turning into make out more and more often. You promised each other to stop whenever you started dating, whenever one of you found someone to date you'd stop this sort of "habit"... But to these days, after years and after moving to Midgar, it never stopped and remained a daily thing, almost like a routine. Your friendships wasn't like the others, its lines got blurred to a point of non return, making it impossible to define.

"Another one... Please?"

Zack whispered to you as he moved back, staring into your eyes like a puppy waiting for his treat. He kept eye contact as your hands cradled his face, delicately pulling him closer as you gave him another soft kiss on his lips... When you pulled away, Zack was fully aware that he was smiling like a child on Christmas Eve, a happy and enthusiastic smile adorning his lips as his face was still cradled in your hands. He knew how happy he looked, but he didn't mind... He loved this habit of yours, it was a routine he got used to. The thought of stopping it was hard to even fathom since you've been doing it for ages... But he knew deep inside that all this wasn't normal for friends and that the lines have been long blurred to a point where it was impossible to understand where they stood.

"Thank you, sweetheart."

Zack smiled at you, his smile so enthusiastic that you could imagine him wagging if he had a tail.

"How was training today? What was your score?"

He asked, moving back from you and sitting on the bed, his deep blue eyes looking directly at you.
