Hearing him talk about them together gave Terra a reaction that she wasn't at all familiar with. Her heart felt like it stopped while chills crawled up her spine. She looked up at him pulling herself close to his side. It was warm and inviting being close to him like this.

She wanted to wait until she was sure they were alone and after seeing the 'Authorized Personnel Only' sign she relaxed some. This would be a good place to talk to him though as they stepped down the hall, and Sephiroth pulled out his key, she became acutely aware she was going towards his room. They shared a room at home but this felt a little more personal than that. She couldn't explain why.

When Sephiroth stopped at the doorway Terra watched him enter the key card. "Can I tell you something?" The words slipped out before she had a chance to stop them and she felt herself dropping her grip on his arm. Her hands laced together in front of her as she spoke. "I mean... Sephiroth. I wanted to tell you..."

Each lingering second threatened to have her choke on her words. She looked up at him, her bright eyes shining. "I like you." She couldn't say love, not yet, but she knew she liked him more than a friend; more than a protector.

"More than anyone else." She added that part softly as if it added significance to her earlier comment.
