The squeeze he gets because of his comment is a welcomed comfort. It draws him back from the darker thoughts that had been invading his head and allows him to focus on reality. To focus on the fact that Zack was here with him. That they had both made it this far and that was what mattered most. Everything that had happened to them had sucked and there had been plenty of times where Cloud had been sure everything was going to fall out from underneath them. But it hadn't. And here they were. Sure they were on the run from ShinRa still but they had friends and each other. That was more than Cloud thought he was ever going to be able to have, honestly.
There's a moment of hesitation on Cloud's part before he reaches up again but this time his hand curls around the back of Zack's neck. Words are stuck in his throat again but his emotions betray him through his eyes as he studies the other for a second before glancing away.
