1:
Minutes of our lives.
Cloud had always been busy and willing to help others,
and that had helped him a lot lately.
He hadn't expected to be done with work by sunset, what Cloud had hoped, was to be done by middle of the day. The blonde man had grown up together with Tifa, and had been isolated from the other children in the village. Still he had always longed to be friends with the others. The blonde still remembered when he had turned 9, when Tifa and the others had planned to climb Mt.Nibel, and he had joined them. Tifa fell from a bridge, and her father had blamed him. The blonde had a feeling that he wasn't good enough for her, and he resolved to join Shin-Ra's elite SOLDIER force. But still he had always admired Tifa from afar. Cloud had joined SOLDIER to prove to the others, (and mostly himself) that he could be as strong as Sephiroth. And he had also made a promise together with Tifa, that he would protect her when she was in need. However, the man with the mako enchanted eyes was unable to make it into SOLDIER and became an ordinary Shin-Ra guard.
Cloud
had met Zack in Modeoheim, a 1st
class SOLDIER, and the two of them become friends. But then Zack had
died 4 years later, and the dark haired man had given the Buster
Sword to Cloud, and saved his life.
The Jenova cells inside him
had made Cloud believe that the memories of Zack were his own. The
blonde man had thought that he was the SOLDIER who accompanied
Sephiroth five years ago. And once he had returned back to Midgar, he
had believed that he came to become a mercenary. He also claimed to
be an ex-SOLDIER 1st
class. (Because of the uniform that Zack had given to him)
Cloud
had met the members in the anti-Shin-Ra terrorist group, AVALANCHE.
On Tifa's recommendation, Barret had hired the man with the mako
colored eyes. After blowing up a Mako Reactor, Cloud became separated
from the others, and the blonde man had met Aeris Gainsborough.
The
blonde had met her while she was selling flowers on the streets of
Midgar.
And currently he had started taken the deliveries, and that was his work at the moment. There was also a lot more that had happened to him the last years, but Cloud was pulled back to reality as he heard Tifa's voice rang from inside of her bar.
"Cloud? Aren't you coming?" Tifa's voice sang again. And the blonde man entered the bar and sat himself down on a chair. The brunette was still washing her dishes, drying them and putting them where they belonged. He had still a crush on her, but wasn't sure if he should confess his feelings or not. They had some things in common anyway, the blonde had lost his best friend, and so had Tifa.
She had just
finished washing one of the beer glasses when she realized how quiet
he really was. Cloud was usually silent, but not that silent, he
hadn't even said 'hello' to her or 'how's your day?'
his
mako enchanted eyes stared at the beer glass that was a few inches
from the black leather dressed woman. Her brown eyes peered out the
window, the sky was blue, and the grass seemed to look more green
than usual.
"How was your day?" Tifa muttered, but she didn't get an answer from Cloud. He kept glaring at the dried glass. And she shook her head and continued washing her dishes. The brunette dried her hands at a towel close by. Tifa's brown hair had grown longer lately, and looked like a brown, silky waterfall on her back.
