Her smile grows the more he explains the way he wants to be with her, her fingertips gently tracing through his hair while he speaks. It's everything she hoped for and then some and Aerith doesn't hold back when she leans up to kiss him again, nodding her head eagerly while her lips press against his.

"I want all the days and nights with you that you want with me," she utters between kisses, not relenting a single inch of space. "I want to talk to you and watch you smile, and learn all your favorite things."

Aerith flushes, deeply gratified by the knowledge that she's the first to pull these feelings out of him in a long time. "I treasure my life with you Balthier."
