My Beloved Angel…
Summary:
Cloud was an Angel. Tifa was a mortal, but she didn't have long to live. What happens when their worlds collide?
Water cools the Burning Fire…
Behind clouds, no one knew angels lived and protected us inside the cotton shapes flying in the air. They would lead the souls and guide the misguided until they turn back into the dust that made the earth. Angels lived for the mortals, swearing to protect their hearts from darkness that might blind them. The highest or supreme of the Angels was Gillian Hewley, but she died due to her age and was replaced by her son, Angeal. Angeal was a good leader and even improved the school which helps young angels learn what was to be their destiny, to protect and guide the mortals.
In the Angelic Academy…
"And that concludes our discussion…" Sephiroth faced his class after his hours of discussion.
"Cloud… hey, wake up" Zack tried to move his wings to tickle Cloud and wake him up.
"Hehehe… stop it Zack…" Cloud was in dreamland. Well his mind was. Sephiroth spread his wings and went in front of Cloud.
"Uh oh" Zack straighten up. He knew Cloud was busted. Sephiroth got impatient from Cloud's denseness and plucked out one of his feathers.
"Whoa! Ow!" Cloud Flew backward as he saw Sephiroth holding one of his feathers.
"You've been stealing Hojo's dreamland potions again, Cloud?" Sephiroth waved the plucked wing which had a stain of the potion. Cloud knew he had no escape and was expected to go to the highest Angel.
"What is it now, Cloud?" Angeal was not surprise to see Cloud once again in front of him.
"The young lad made his way to my potions and uses one of them." Hojo doesn't seem much angered by Cloud's fault. It wasn't a surprise that Cloud wouldn't do such a thing, he was a half Angel.
"Zack" Angeal called Cloud's trusted friend and the student Angeal had favored to be the next heir.
"Uhm… yeah?" Zack was one of those angels allowed to have casual talks with Angeal.
"Keep an eye on Cloud while he does his punishment" Angeal was serious.
"Punishment? It was just one time I used that dreamland potion!" Cloud didn't want to get his last punishment again. He took the job of being a delivery boy and he had large packages to deliver around by himself. The worst part of it. He didn't even have his pay. He didn't want it again.
"Well, how about the hypnotizing potion. Rain potions you used five times and the other fourteen potions you played with" Hojo had it all recorded in his head. He was really a genius.
"Well… what's my buddy's punishment?" Zack asked as he was getting worried. Cloud didn't want to hear it.
"He'll be doing a big responsibility" Angeal began "give her the happiness she needs till her time comes" Angeal gave them a paper with the description of his job. As soon as Zack caught the paper, he took Cloud out and went to Aerith.
"hmm-hm-hm-hmm" Aerith was humming as she was in the garden giving potions to the flowers.
"Aerith!" Zack Shouted and let go of Cloud and gave his girl a hug.
"I see cloud isn't in the best condition? What's wrong?" she smiled as cloud looked like a little boy who didn't get to buy a toy.
"He got punished" Zack waved the paper "sent down to you know where"
"Isn't he young enough?" Aerith was rather worried.
"Come on! I'm not a little boy anymore! Sheesh! You two are acting like my parents again!" he pouted "besides, how hard is it to make a mortal have her last days memorable? With my looks, she's bound to already fell she's here"
"A she?" Aerith asked.
"Yeah… Tifa… Lockhart, she has Geostigma. Incurable and has her days counted" Zack read the description. Cloud felt disgust. He didn't like that Geostigma thing. He once saw a human die because of it and it horrified him and his parents did die because of it.
"Geostigma…" Aerith didn't like having that word said in front of Cloud. It was Taboo.
"When will I leave?" Cloud wanted to get over it. Make her happy till her life ends and have his life back.
"Hmmm… get this paper…" Zack gave him the paper "your destination is there" he pointed out to a house near the mountains "and …"
"And?" he got curious.
"Off you go!" he kicked Cloud out of the clouds and directly to the house's window.
"Goal!" he screamed. He can be a good soccer player.
"Zack Fair" Aerith put her hands on her hips. Zack was in trouble.
On earth…
It was a cold night. Tifa looked up her window and saw a bright star.
"Make a wish Tifa" she talked to herself. She closed her eyes and made her wish. 'Please… I've accepted I won't live long… I just want… to have it memorable and happy… with… someone'
As she ended her wish. She went to bed and was about to sleep when she noticed the star she wished on brighten until it seemed it was going to target her. She froze in her spot and stiffened more when a boy, in her same age comes eye contact with her. He wasn't really normal. He had wings, angel wings. Blonde hair that was in spikes, but what attracted her most was their eye contact. His water colored blue eyes, same as ocean waves. As it stares in her red wine eyes, it made her feel like water cooling her burning fire.
"Uh oh…" Cloud couldn't take his eyes of her and it was a first, a first time experience and it's with a human. What would happen? He forgot one rule. Never show yourself to mortals.
My second CLoti fic! Yay! Is it good? I really like reviews. If I get a lot reviews, I might get this long. Reviews inspire me :) so… please… R&R! Oh yeah… many confusion… like Cloud's parents. Angels don't get Geostigma!
