~~"Hey do you remember back when we were kids?"~~

-
In the City That Forgets...
The story of two young men and the lives they thought they had.

~~"No....I don't."~~

~~~~~

“It’s me…Zack Fair. Do you honestly not remember me...?”
=

'The man he was looking at had almost shoulder length brown hair which was styled perfectly with most of it flipped to one side and covering his face, which Zack could barely see because of the distance and the fact that the other man was only partially turned to him. His features were pale and cold, his eyes an icy blue. He wore a red leather jacket, but it was still the voice that made Zack so sure of who it was and made him actually make his way over to him.'

“No I don’t know you. I think I’d remember someone as messed up as you.”

~~~~~

“You remember me!?”

'Her long brown hair tied up in a long ponytail. She wore a light blue dress with a floral pattern on it. She hadn’t changed at all and Zack was so happy to see her.'

>Aerith<

“Of course I do, how could I forget someone like you, Zack?”

~~~~~

-“So you’ve been selling flowers for eleven years?” he asked. She nodded. “And that’s the only reason you remember me?”

She looked up at him at that, “Yes. This is the City That Forgets after all.” She said with a nod. -

~~~~~

“Yeah, Zack Fair, he lived here when he was younger, do you remember him?”
=

'His pale blond hair was spiked up in almost the same way it had been when he was little. He was thin and pale and his features were smooth, blemish free and young. His eyes were a fierce, beautiful shade of blue the so many people seemed to have, but it only really suited him and his blond hair.'

“I don’t remember him...”

~~"Well I'm going to make you remember."~~


'Missed.'

It all started with a memory from when he was young:

“Hey Zack! Catch!” A brunette boy said before chucking a ball at the dark haired boy with relatively tan skin. Because of the lack of a warning it hit him in the face and sent him sprawling backwards. The brunette laughed, “HAHA Sephiroth! Did you see that!?” He said turning to the boy with platinum silver hair. Who nodded and smirked.

“Angeal!” Zack whined as he got up and ran over to their other friend who was sitting on one of the park benches. The young teen looked up at Zack with a cocked eyebrow, “Did you see what Genesis did!?” He yelled rubbing his nose where the ball had hit him.

“No.” Angeal replied bluntly. He looked away from Zack but could feel the puppy dog eyes against his side of his head. Angeal sighed and stood up, “What did he do, puppy?” He said using Zack’s nickname from the three older boys.

“He threw a ball at me.” Zack whined, though he was visibly happy that Angeal paid him any attention. Being the youngest he was often cast aside. The other three were thirteen years old and Zack was only nine.

“You were being annoying; besides, I told you I was going to throw it.” Genesis said walking towards the two dark haired boys, shrugging as he went, a pleased smirk stretched across his pale features. “It’s not my fault you have terrible reaction time.”

“Shut up Genesis you weren’t being fair!” Zack snapped turning and glaring at the older boy, stomping his foot on the ground as though to really convey his thoughts on this point.

“Yeah? And what are you going to do about it, shrimp?” Genesis threatened glaring down at Zack.

The little tan boy seemed to snap as he threw a punch and nailed Genesis in the nose. The older man staggered back and by then Zack was on top of him beating him, landing punches wherever he could manage. But it didn’t take long before Genesis started to retaliate. Sephiroth and Angeal had tried to pull the two apart with no luck and managed to get a few hits of their own while trying to work it all out.

“HEY STOP IT GUYS!” Someone called, and that was all it took for the four boys to leave one another alone and look up at the young lady who had yelled. Her long brown hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she frowned down at the four, her hands on her hips her green eyes slightly frustrated. “You guys are friends you shouldn’t be fighting.” She said.

“Sorry Aerith…” the four boys said together letting the little girl, younger then all of them have it her way since they didn’t want to get her mad. They stood up and brushed themselves off.

“Now, Genesis, I want you to apologize to Zack.” Aerith said setting her glare onto the brunette boy, leaning forward slightly, vicious towards the four boys despite her tiny stature, barely standing to Genesis’s shoulder.

“What!? Why me!? How do you know Zack didn’t start it?” Genesis retorted crossing his arms and shaking his head in a rather childish manner, which was so like the young man to do.

“Well you just proved my point. Now apologize.” She demanded.

“I’m sorry Zack…” Genesis said quietly in a defeated tone of voice slouching forward with a sigh reaching up to scratch the back of his neck, not even looking at Zack as he spoke, obviously not wanting to add the look of victory on Zack’s tan face to the embarrassment he was already dealing with after having to apologize to anyone in the first place.

Aerith smiled sweetly, “Now isn’t that better.” Zack just laughed…
