[ Like you, he wants to say. He just knows she won't have it.
He's quiet over that suggestion, but in reality, something tightens in his chest when she says it. He didn't realize how much he really does want her company until she made it sound so doable. ]
I'd like that.
[ A beat, then- ]
I think he'd like it, too.
[ Sephiroth hasn't said as much, but Zack knows he's taking all of this rather hard. ]

I'm glad you're better too.
[She wishes she could do more for him. But she can't bring back the dead. No one can. Not really.]
Yeah. You did. [No ones denying that.] I'm glad Susan was there for you too.
...you know, more than ever...I kind of wish I could move in with you.
no subject
I am, too. [ As for Susan- ] She's been kind to both of us since we met.
[ Himself and Sephiroth, that is. ]
...I'd like that. [ His throat closes a little, but he doesn't cry. He's done with that and won't start again. ] I'd like it a lot.
no subject
Mm. She seems like a very kind young woman.
[She considers quietly for a few moments. Then: ]

She's glad that he wants this at least. She laughs a little. Sometimes, it's easy to give oneself what they want. If only for a little while.]
Good. Maybe...maybe we can make pancakes together or something. Just-let's have some fun while we can, all three of us.
How does that sound?
