Tired

 

"Fuck!" Zack's voice echoed through the canyon as he stumbled over the rocky terrain. Zack was sure, any minute now he was going to break down and cry, or maybe hit something. Yeah that sounded great.

Everything had been going wrong that day. Nightmares had kept both of them up, they were out of food and water, and the area surrounding them was barren, just jagged cliffs on either side. He had tripped/stumbled/fallen several times on the uneven ground and Cloud was complaining about something and he didn't know what. The blond was probably hungry and thirsty and tired, but they couldn't stop, because if they did, he wasn't sure they would start up again.

Gaia, it was all too much.

He almost tripped again as Cloud stopped, groaning weakly, and that was all Zack could take.

"You want to stop Cloud, well too bad, we can't. So get walking." He pulled the blond forward but his feet wouldn't move and Zack was so fed up with it. "Fuck, just move Cloud!" Forward again and the blonds legs collapsed underneath him. Dragging him up by the collar, Zack shook him roughly. No response.

"Stop fucking acting this way!" SLAP.

Zack dumbly started at his friend, watching the redness spread across a pale cheek. Gaia, what had he done. Cloud just lay there weakly, not making a sound.

"Cloud?" Zack couldn't stop the tears as the fell. He fell against the stony wall, dragging Cloud into his arms and burying his face in the dusty blond hair. He'd hit Cloud. What kind of friend was he? What kind of person hit a child, because really that was just what Cloud was right now. A child who needed to be cared for, looked after not hit because he was too tired to move. They sat there for a while, until the tears dried up and Zack could muster the strength to stand up. Cloud was still reluctant to move, so he shifted the blond onto his back and started walking again. They needed water and food and Zack wouldn't, couldn't think about it anymore because they had to survive. The canyon was silent as the moved, echoing the emptiness in Zack's mind.

He was so tired.

He just hoped Cloud would forgive him when he woke.
