Aeris muttered as the sunlight from the window hit her right in the face. She tried to move her hands to shield them but both seemed to be encumbered by something. Accepting that she was going to have to wake up, but not wanting to leave the comfortable warmth that she had found herself in, she slowly took stock of what she could sense. Some part of her tried to say that she shouldn't be feeling anything, but she ignored it and went about cataloging what she could feel around her. Her right arm felt like it had slipped itself under and around a warm masculine body and was now smushed between two people. The other didn't feel curvy either, so she assumed her right arm was trapped by two guys. She hoped she knew them, because this could get very awkward very quickly if she didn't.

Her left hand felt like it was gently cupping a cheek. Soft hair was under it, and the skin of the cheek was warm and silky smooth. She smiled as she noticed that the person that her left hand was under had one arm pillowed beneath her head and the other arm wrapped around her waist. She knew that to get into that position whoever this was had to be facing her and on their side. She also knew that the guy that her right arm was around had faced in the same direction that the other two seemed to have so that his back was to her. Aeris could feel legs entangled with her own but couldn't figure out how many there actually were.

She could hear soft breathing all around her and the person that her left hand was touching was breathing gently onto her lower arm. A light ticking of a clock drifted up to them, and two quiet children's voices were heard down below but the two kids seemed content to stay where they were right then. She noticed that the voices from the Lifestream seemed to be quiet and that little voice saying that she shouldn't be feeling things came back a little louder now. Aeris wondered why, since she was very content with being able to feel what she did. Once again the voice quieted and she slowly blinked her emerald colored eyes open and stared up at her brown bangs and the dark wood of the ceiling. On the ceiling she noticed a black fan and a white light fixture. She leaned her head back a little and saw that the walls were a very pale blue that looked almost white.

After staring at the ceiling and wall for a few minutes she turned her head to the left to see who her head was lying on. Shining silver hair and pale skin greeted her curious eyes. She knew that under those eyelids were catlike, jade colored eyes. The man's face, for she knew that this person was such, was nearly perfect. She wondered how she had come to be in bed with Sephiroth, especially since, as the little voice now stated loud and clear, both of them should be very dead. She looked down and was a little relieved to note that both of them were clothed in what appeared to be night-clothes. Deciding to see who else they shared the bed with and whether or not she knew where they were she turned her head over to the right, while acknowledging that Sephiroth seemed to deem her safe enough to stay asleep around. First thing she noticed was that black hair was mixed with blond and Sephiroth's right hand was entangled in the black strands. The head with the black hair was resting on top of the blond and both seemed to be very spiky. The dark haired man seemed to have wrapped his arms around the blond man. Aeris looked down at where her right hand had curled up over the black haired man and noticed that another slim feminine hand, this one with callouses over the knuckles, was draped across both of the men that had trapped her arm. She assumed that the black haired man is Zack and the blond is Cloud, partly due to the hair of course, but she had no idea who the other woman could be. She tried to lever herself up and huffs as she remembered she can't do that without waking most of them up in the process. She heard a soft snicker after her huff from her right, deep enough to be one of the men and she felt Cloud shift a bit, probably as much as he could with the way he seemed to be pinned by Zack and whoever the other woman was.

Aeris moved her arm slowly and carefully from underneath the black haired man. Once she was free she stayed still for a few minutes as he shifted closer to the blond and muttered into his hair and then Zack went back into a deeper sleep. Quiet chuckles came from the blond as he was tickled by the other spiky haired man's hair. She let out a sigh of relief as the brunette stayed asleep and slowly levered herself up. When she was finished, Sephiroth's right arm was behind her and his left was across her lap. She looked over towards the youngest man of the three to see who the woman was. As she put her right hand on Cloud's shoulder so that she could lean over she saw a shapely figure molded to the blond. A soft face peeked out from long dark brown hair and her head was fitted into the space below Cloud's chin. Aeris recognized Tifa and she smiled as she saw that Cloud had allowed someone else close after she and Zack had said goodbye in the church. They hadn't wanted to, but the Cetra had said they needed the energy that the two of them had been using to visit to do something. Apparently, this was what they'd been trying for, but she had no idea why the Cetra had actually allowed this to happen. She sent a quiet thank you into the Lifestream and settled herself down to wait for the other three to wake up and let herself listen to the quiet noises of the house.
