[She leans her cheek into his touch, and she doesn't bother to hide her surprise at his answer. She swears that he might be able to hear her heart beating furiously in her chest, or the butterflies that flutter in her stomach like they are trying to break free from her. Tifa knows that, under the intensity of his gaze, he will see the way her eyes grow heavy with the weight of all the feelings his words thread through her, piercing right into her very soul and carving themselves there.
It isn't the answer she was expecting, but after her initial surprise, what comes next is shock that she was even surprised by it at all. That night had been a tipping point for both of them and their relationship. It hardly had a definition back then, but she knew that those things she felt for him in that dreamscape were her own. They weren't scripted or written into her, but she felt them in every bone of her body, and her heart pulsed it through her with every beat until her blood was saturated with it.
With him.
Tifa doesn't say anything, but she practically falls into him, her lips crashing against his because he has rendered her completely speechless and breathless again that she kisses him like she needs him for air to live.
...]
That was before you got your memories back.
[Which is why it astonished her at first... but in all the good ways.]
