For Cloud Lovers - 2011

You smile to yourself as you walk into Tifa's bar, waving at Tifa who is in the back taking a phone call by the looks of it.
You grin and sit on one of the stools that are placed in front of the bar, resting your chin on the palm of your hand as you drum your fingers on the counter, and waiting for Tifa to finish on the phone.
"Heya ______!" A cheerful voice calls and looking over your shoulder you see Marlene walking over to you, a big smile on her young face.
"Hey Marlene," You greet, pulling the little girl on your knee and giving her a huge cuddle.
"Have you come to play with me?" Marlene asks, and you smile apologetically.
"Sorry I cant, Tifa needs me to do some work," You say, and Marlene shrugs, the smile never leaving her face,
"Pinkie swear you'll play with me some other time then!" She declares, and you nod, linking your pinkie finger with hers.
"Okay then, see you later ______!" Marlene calls as she jumps off your lap and heads outside, and you smile, turning back to glance at Tifa who's now finished on the phone.
"Hey Tifa what's up?" You ask, flashing a grin.
"I need you to go and find Cloud, I have a few jobs for him," Tifa says, and you nod, hopping of the stool and heading out of the bar.
"Okay, I'll go find him!" You call, before stepping outside into the sun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Cloud? You in here?" You call, as you cautiously step into the old broken down church where the blond male sometimes hung out.
You grin as you see Cloud sitting by himself in a patch of flowers. He glances at you as you walk towards him. Cloud gives you a faint smile as you stop beside him.
Everyone but you noticed that Cloud seemed happy when he was around you, he rarely smiled, but when he was with you he smiled quite a lot.
"Hey _____" He said quietly, looking down at the flowers which were poking out from the ground below.
"Hey Cloud, Tifa said she had some jobs for you to do, I think you'd better go see her," You say, turning back round and heading back out of the church as Cloud stands up and follows you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"_______, I want to talk to you in private," Tifa tells you, a smirk on her pretty face. You raise your eyebrows and cock your head to the side, hopping of the stool you were sitting on and following her into the back of the bar.
Once you were in Tifa carefully shut the door behind her before turning round to face you, arms crossed and a smug look on her face.
"I wanted to talk to you about Cloud," She says, and you raise your eyebrows and shrug.
"Okay then, what about him," You ask, and Tifa giggles.
"Have you noticed that he smiles a lot around you?" She questions, and you shake your head, your eyebrows still raised.
"And that when you're around him he's much quieter than usual?" She continues, and you fold your arms, giving out a small sigh.
"And your point is Tifa?" You ask, and she giggles again, a pink tinge appearing in her cheeks.
"I think he likes you…" She says smugly, and your eyes widen as you shake your head.
You'd had a crush on Cloud for some while now, but you always thought that he wasn't interested in you because he didn't speak to you a lot and always seemed to distance himself away from you.
"Tifa, you are losing it, you're crazy!" You splutter, blushing furiously as she giggles.
"Aw, ______, you're blushing!" She teases still giggling, and you frown, stomping out the back room and back into the bar.
"Where are you going?" She asks, coming after you.
"To the broken down church!" You call over your shoulder, walking out of the bar, still blushing slightly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You sigh, twirling a pink flower between your fingers as you sit in the middle of a patch of flowers, in the broken down church.
You're still curious about what Tifa had spoken to you about, and you blushed at the thought of Cloud possibly liking you back.
Just then you hear footsteps behind you, and turning round you see Cloud walking towards you, a pink tinge in his cheeks as he gives you a faint smile, sitting himself down beside you in the flowers.
"Hey Cloud," You say quietly, flashing him a grin before returning your gaze at the flower which was in your hands.
You feel your body tense up as you feel Cloud's hand brush your hair placing something behind your ear.
Blushing you gently lift your hand up and feel that he's tucked a flower in your hair. You blush and flash him a shy grin, looking back down at the flower in your hand.
"You look even more beautiful than usual with that flower in your hair," You hear him whisper, and you feel your cheeks heat up as you lift your head up to look at him, and see that a red tinge of colour has appeared in his cheeks as he avoids your gaze.
"Oh, thanks," You mumble, staring at him. You give a small sigh before looking back down at the flowers, your cheeks turning back to their normal colour.
"Um…______... I need to tell you something…" Cloud mumbles, and you look up at him, gazing into his dreamy blue eyes.
"What do you need to tell me?" You ask, as Cloud blushes, moving his gaze down as he gently cups your hand with both of his.
"Um…well…it's hard to explain…" He stammers, looking back up at you.
"What's hard to expla-"You're cut off by Cloud pressing his lips gently against yours, his hands resting on your waist as he continues to kiss you. As your body tenses up he pulls away quickly, his cheeks flaming red as he looks away from you.
"I'm sorry; I should've known you wouldn't feel the same way…" He murmurs, starting to stand up but stopping as you grab his hand.
"No, Cloud, I do feel the same way, its just I didn't expect that," You say, and Cloud smiles happily, his eyes shining with happiness as he stares at you.
"Really?" He questions, and you nod, leaning towards him and kissing him again, your hands resting on the front of your shoulders as you feel his hands wind round your back and slide down your spine, resting on the low of your back. His lips carefully travel down your neck, nibbling on your skin gently before slowly travelling back up to your lips.
"I-"Cloud starts to murmur something but the church doors suddenly shoot open, and in skips Marlene, who the freezes when she sees you and Cloud, a sly smile creeping across her face.
"Oh, sorry, I see I'm interrupting something…" She giggles before skipping back out the church and shutting the doors behind her.
"Now, where were we again?" Cloud whispers, kissing your collar bone gently, before his lips travel up your neck again, brushing your skin lightly.
"I love you Cloud…" You whisper, blushing again.
"I love you too _____" Cloud murmurs.
