Zack grunts (damn, that hurts) and rolls off of Cloud just long enough to rub his cheek. That's SOLDIER strength right there, and that along with those too-bright eyes convinces him that this really is his friend.
He doesn't want to start a full-fledged fight in the hallway so he backs off, perching on his knees with his hands raised. He can only guess at why Cloud is acting this way (the Mako addiction, something that happened after?), and he doesn't want to spook him anymore than he already has. ]
Cloud, it's me. I swear.
[ He pleads with him, all but begs his friend to stop and recognize him. ]
