Coffee cup
Dear Diary,
It was a cold day…too cold in a matter of fact. I just got out from school and I say…school was fun!
Aerith and Zack just got their one year anniversary! Congratulations to them!
Yuffie, still trying to hang on Vincent, and as always, Reno being flirty to get her attention, when will he ever learn?
Elena also found someone she likes, I think his name was…Tseng? Yeah, that's it…
I feel envious…everyone is having the time of their lives…well some of the best times…
Even my sister Marlene, she got a guy to confess to her and she's just eight!
I'm sixteen already! Still zero in the love department…until…just awhile ago!
When I got on the train, tough luck, every room was filled. I had to look for one less occupied and that's when I met…HIM.
"Uhm…" Tifa was about to ask a boy if they can share the room since its cold outside and the corridors of the train, but before she makes a knock, she stared at the guy with awe. Spiked hair, like it froze but they look awesome with what seemed to be naturally blonde. He had a muscular structure in her opinion. He wore a coat under more layers of clothes. He was occupied by the view outside the train.
"Excuse me" Tifa knocked, though she might've forgotten for awhile that she needed a place to seat, the chills still managed to get to her.
He looked at her, he had a serious expression but it seemed soft. He was holding a coffee cup; on his lap was a small notebook and pen.
"Uhm…all is full, would you mind If I?" she asked, trying to take her eyes off his face. He was a handsome guy, though he doesn't seem that cheerful, if he was smiling and all, he look adorable, Tifa thought.
"Sure" he replied and settled back his sight out to the open. Tifa nodded and entered. She sat on his opposite. She placed all her stuff next to her, finally having all the weight of her books out of her hands for awhile, she took off her gloves and began to blow on her hands. Her breathe was chilly and she shivered with the slightest feeling.
'Wrong idea to get warmth' she said in her thoughts. She looked away from her hands and looked up, seeing the guy was looking up at her. He sipped from his cup and wrote something on the notepad.
'Was that his diary?' Tifa was curious. She was suddenly surprised after he finished writing; he took off his coat and wrapped it around her.
"What's your name?" he asked, his voice wasn't rough or that smooth. It had a tune that Tifa can't get enough.
"Tifa…" Tifa answered absent-mindedly. Her face was turning red and it wasn't from too much cold. She continued staring at his eyes. They were blue, blue and warm, deep as the ocean, beautiful as the sky…something she never quite notice at the blue eyed guys she's been with.
"Well then Tifa, you can borrow that for now" he gave a small smile. He looked so admirable like an idol or something, for Tifa that is. He seemed to be young, a student in fact. He was wearing a uniform, but she never really cared from what school, she still can't get enough of his eyes.
"Thanks…" she bowed her head, but her eyes still remain looking at him.
He faced the window again, admiring the scenery. He looked cool and mysterious, someone you won't see every day.
They were silent for a long time; Tifa still remained with her gaze while the other kept his on the window.
'I wish this won't end…' it was quite silly, but even in this silly state, she liked how it gives her a warm feeling.
His coat still had his warmth on it and his smell, he smelled like when the rain just stopped on a spring day.
After some time, his eyes widened a bit and changed gaze, now he looked at Tifa. She stiffened.
'Did he notice I've been looking at him oddly?'
For some time they had eye contact, then an announcement came.
"SECTOR SEVEN… NEXT STATION…SECTOR SEVEN"
That contact was broken as he wrote something on his pad and rips it off. He placed it near the coffee cup. He took the cup and gave a little sip on it, and then he placed it down. He took his bag and waved at Tifa as a good bye with a small smile.
Tifa nodded with a nervous smile and watch him exit the room. She felt the chill of the corridors as he opened and closed it. He pulled the coat tighter against her.
'Oh no' something got into her. She still has his coat. She went out the room and came running.
"Hey!" she shouted. He was by the door, waiting for the train to stop. He looked at her as she shouted to get his attention.
"You're Coat!" she ran, but due to some clumsiness she tripped that supposed to end with her face on the floor, instead was saved by a fast blonde.
He was holding her by the waist and she doesn't know what to do. Her face was turning into a tomato.
"You're…coat…" she lowered her head and handed it to him. He took off his hands on her waist and took. He leaned close to her. Tifa was expecting a kiss on the cheek, but tough luck.
"Thanks" he whispered. Then the train stopped. He went out and joined the crowd of people outside.
Tifa went back to the room; she missed the warmth of the jacket and the warmth of his breath near her ear. She blushed at her thoughts and concentrated on how to get warmth again. As she sat down, she noticed the coffee and paper by the window.
'He left a…' she looked at the paper 'note?'
'You might still be cold, left you the coffee, it's still hot. Drink up Teef.
It was nice meeting you.
Cloud '
"Cloud" she said his name. It felt nice when she spoke it "Cloud. Cloud. Cloud" she repeated it again and again until she ended up giggling.
The was more of the note.
'PS:
You looked cute when you were staring at me the whole trip. Hope to see you again. '
Tifa felt embarrassed. So he noticed, she thought. She folded the paper carefully as if it was so important and placed it in her pocket. She took the cup and took a sip.
"It's good" she smiled and enjoyed the rest of the trip as she looks up the clouds.
I wanted to make a new story. Though I haven't been updating much. Schedules tight.
Please enjoy! Please tell me what you think…should it stay as one shot? Or I continue it. This was supposedly a crossover, but I can't make up my mind. Little piece of advice please :)
