Zack lay still and quiet, controlling his breathing, waiting to see what was going to happen. He had caught the sound of Cloud's breathing change as he woke up, the heavy sound speaking something of fear, waking him from his sleep. Zack would have gone right too him, except that he always worried that the older male would be unhappy at it being known he suffered from nightmares, even if it was only Zack who knew.

After a few minuets of debating with himself, noting that Cloud still sounded upset, he turned to open his eyes and look at the blond.

"Hey, what's up?" he asked, knowing full well that Cloud was not 'alright' or 'okay' so not bothering to ask either one.
