first, don't hate me please.
So yeah, more love to them. I mean, Terra's story was like awesome and Cloud and Onion Knight were like-'I will protect Terra no matter what.' So hope you enjoy this small fanfic (i say small because it will be small)
it is mainly an AU, the characters may be a little OOC, so i warn you
One more thing, for Onion Knight I will refer him like Luneth and he will have silver hair.

Cloud took a deep breath, this was it.
Here he was, outside Terra's house ready to knock at the door, the hand holding a small bouquet of roses, which were given kindly to him by Firion (after some threatening of course), was trembling from nervousness. Sweat rolled from his neck, he sighed, scratching the back of his head.
He had finally gotten a date with Terra, and here he was like teenage boy that had just invited the most popular girl of his school to the graduation dance.
After having many failures, like trying to talk with her but Onion Knight was always with her and it appeared wherever he came close to talk with her, Luneth would let out a small growl at him. And also when he finally got to talk with her, he would forget everything he was going to tell her.
So, he did the only thing he had in mind, ask for help. Ask for help from Zidane, the self-proclaimed womanizer of all time (that was how he called himself), to take Terra on a date.
But now that Cloud thought of their 'advices', considering Butz also, because he wanted to help and he appeared out of nowhere when he and Zidane were talking, they were somewhat helpful. Remembering how Butz told him to do a thing and Zidane to do another. Like Zidane saying he could give Terra a bouquet of flowers, to which Butz responded to give her a chocobo. Zidane idea of taking her to a fancy restaurant was good, considering also Butz idea of taking her to the cinema. Well, at least it was reasonable, one of the many ideas Butz said that didn't involve adopting chocobos or dressing up as one. He still remembered how Terra accepted to go on a date with him. And he still couldn't believe she had accepted.
Flashback
"So, have you decided how to tell her Cloudy?" Zidane asked happily sitting in a couch as he read a random magazine he picked from Cloud's table.
"No, and don't call me Cloudy." the older blond sighed, rubbing one of his temples with his hand. This was turning quite tiresome; having two adolescents in his apartment was certainly troublesome.
"Why don't you just go to her house and ask her to go out?" Butz said, holding a bottle of ice-cream with his left arm and with the right one a spoonful of said ice-cream, walking to the living room.
Cloud sighed again, but before he could answer Butz, Zidane ran where the brunette had sit holding the bottle of ice-cream.
"Where did you get that ice-cream!?"
"Uh? This? It was behind the bag of ice." Butz said eating the ice-cream of his spoon.
"Give me!" the smaller blond tried to grab the bottle from Butz hands, but the brunette was faster than him.
"What!?" Butz said holding the bottle up with his hands so the monkey couldn't get it, "Get your own!"
Cloud sweat dropped watching Zidane tackle Butz, rolling on the floor like little kids. Did Squall pass through this every day? He walked where the now forgotten ice-cream laid and close it to prevent an upcoming ice-cream war.
Just as he was going to enter the kitchen, he heard his doorbell. He stopped and looked at Zidane and Butz, who had also stopped his fight when they heard the doorbell. He placed the ice-cream on the counter, eyeing warningly at Zidane and Butz, as he walked to the door and started opening it.
"Don't do anything embarrassing or I will kick you out and…" Cloud stopped in mid-sentence, his brain stopped working when he saw the object of his desires right outside his door.
"Hi Cloud!" Terra smiled happily at him, waving a hand at him.
"H-hi…" Great, another breakdown for Cloud's mind, thankfully Zidane appeared beside the other blond to save him from an embarrassing situation.
"Hi Terra!" he waved with a smile plastered on his face, slightly punching Cloud side.
"Oh, hi Zidane! I didn't knew you were visiting Cloud." she greeted him with a smile.
"Mmh? You wanted to talk with Cloud?" Zidane's eyes shined mischievously when he thought of 'time alone' plus Cloud plus Terra equals 'mission accomplished'.
"Oh, I really don't want to interrupt, but I only wanted to ask Cloud about a book Cecil gave him" she said smiling to the smaller blond, of course, Cloud brain processed the information given, then it snap in him.
"Ah…that book is in my room, I will go for-" but before the spiky haired blond continued, Zidane quickly covered Cloud's mouth with his own hand, surprising the older blond.
"Then don't worry mi lady!" Zidane exclaimed placing his free hand on his waist standing with a proud face waving his tail behind him "I will risk my life in Cloud's room to get back the book you desire!"
And with that he escaped with a confused Butz to Cloud's room slamming the door close. Cloud stared at them, fearing more for his poor room. And then, nervousness came to him again. Terra was in front of him, they were alone, no distractions, it was his chance, no escape for him now.
"T-Terra…" Terra snapped from watching Zidane escape route and turned to Cloud.
"Yes, Cloud?"
"I…I was thinking that maybe…you and me, maybe…I…we…" dear Shiva, there he was acting like a complete fool in front of a confused Terra, he gather courage and finished what he had begun, "that maybe, you and me…we…could go…on a…date?"
There, the words had left his mouth and his mind was at ease, but wait, something wasn't right. He froze when he remembered Terra was in front of him. His mind prepared for the insults, the slap, and maybe Luneth appearing in front of him from nowhere and punching him in the face.
"I'd love to" Cloud's mind was already imagining Luneth's punch in front of him, when he heard those words. He opened his eyes, not remembering when he had closed them, to be greeted by a happy Terra.
There was a sudden crash in Cloud's room, followed by voices and the door slamming open.
"Here it is!" Zidane appeared again beside the taller boy, holding a small blue book and handing him to Terra, "Here you have mi lady"
Terra laughed and took the book from a bowing Zidane, "Thank you my knight" she followed his joke and also bowed.
Terra turned to a Cloud who was still stunned from Zidane suddenly apparition "See you tomorrow, 6 o'clock is okay?"
Cloud snapped from his thoughts and nodded "At 6 is okay…"
She smiled at him, but before she left she took a step closer to Cloud and tiptoed to get to Cloud's face, giving him a light kiss on his cheek. She separated and smiled again to the two.
After saying quick goodbyes, she started walking to the elevator, leaving a shocked Zidane and a blushing Cloud at the door.
"Hey guys! Look what I found!" Butz came running from Cloud's room with tears on his eyes holding a photo album that read 'Baby Cloud photos', he stopped when he saw the two blonds at the door, "Did I miss something?"
Well, after that everything was pretty normal, except for Zidane telling Cloud tips for the date, Butz laughing at his photos and Squall appearing magically at his door to take Zidane and Butz home, much to Cloud relief.
So, after Zidane stole his ice-cream and Butz stole some limited edition magazines about chocobos, he went to his room ready to sleep, but before he could rest, he spent two hours cleaning his room from the disaster Zidane and Butz made, he went to his bed smiling, he could still felt Terra's warm lips on his cheek.
End flashback
So now here he was.
Outside Terra house, he checked his clock again. It read 5:59 pm. Ok, maybe he was too early, or maybe he was just too punctual. But it wasn't his fault as he remembered what he did since waking up.
Flashback
He wake up, running out his room thinking he overslept and was late for doing his chores, he looked at the clock in his kitchen, five in the morning. Maybe he was overacting with this date.
Cloud spent till 7 watching TV, and since there wasn't anything good on TV he watched the typical commercials of 'Get the new oven 4000 that can even say your name and spell the whole alphabet!'
After that it had been normal, his usual activities. That was until Zidane and Butz showed up at his door again, dragging Squall behind them. He was going to shut the door on his faces, when Zidane feet interrupt the door.
Cloud glared him angrily; he sighed and tried to calm himself, "What do you want?"
"Only to give you this" Butz answered simply and extended his arm holding a piece of paper with a direction on it.
"And…what's this?" Cloud asked reading the direction, it sounded familiar to him but he couldn't place his finger on it.
"After you take Terra to watch a movie, take her to that restaurant" Zidane explained happily, Cloud eyed him angrily again.
So after many explanations from the monkey and the chocobo lover, they say their goodbyes dragging a tired Squall behind them.
Cloud stared at the direction written on the paper, he knew this place. But why he didn't know where it was?
End flashback
The paper with the direction was folded in his pocket. 'Wait, what if it's a trap?' Cloud thought grabbing the paper and staring it. He sighed for the millionth time this day. He checked his clothes again.
He wore a black turtle neck, which was suffocating him right now. With black trousers and a large coat that reached just below his knees. Maybe his clothes weren't the best on his wardrobe, but he like them.
He breathed deeply; he was going to knock at the door when he thought it would be better to ring the doorbell. So he pressed the doorbell happily, humming a tone to himself. He stopped in mid song.
Shiva really didn't like him. Doing things before his mind could process them, Cloud started panicking, turning around for a route escape.
He stopped when he watched the door open; but he really didn't expect who opened the door.
Squall was at the door, his face as expressionless as ever. He wasn't wearing his jacket. He was with the white shirt he wore underneath that black puffy jacket. But also with a white apron from his waist below and holding a tray under his free arm.
Cloud couldn't help but laugh at his friend; his nervousness disappeared thanks to Squall. The brunette blushed from embarrassment upon seeing his friend at the door, and it did not help that said blond was trying not to burst out laughing.
"Shut up, it wasn't as if I wanted to wear this" Squall replied placing his free hand on his waist.
"So, who told you? Zidane or Butz?" the brunette really wanted to hit Cloud with the tray he was holding, the blond was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe. An idea popped in his mind and smirked.
"You came to see Terra didn't you?" Squall smirked in triumph, watching the blond freeze in his place.
"Shut up Squally" he growled under his breath, stepping into the house with Squall closing the door behind them.
"Terra! Cloud arrived!" Cloud watched Squall yell at the stairs.
"Coming!" Cloud already felt nervous upon hearing her voice.
"Thanks Squall" Cloud said once Squall turned to him again, trying to calm himself he decide to change the topic, "But…"
"Yeah?"
"Why are you wearing that and here, in Terra's house?" the blond signaled the apron on Squall waist.
Squall sighed as they walked to the living room, "For those" Cloud followed Squall finger, when he saw, he was shocked his mouth fell in disbelief.
Ultimecia was in the living room, with Cloud of Darkness next to her, between them was Luneth. In front of them were Kuja and Kefka. And it appeared they were playing cards.
"Squall, can you bring us more tea please?" Ultimecia said waving her empty glass in a mocking tone, Squall growled and picked everybody glasses and entered the kitchen.
Everybody turned to Cloud, the poor blond could only wave in a friendly manner with a fake smile. Well, of everybody in the room, Cloud was more afraid of Luneth as the smaller boy stared at him confused. This was bad and good, good because Luneth still didn't knew about the date and bad because Cloud knew he would end in the hospital.
"I'm ready!" everybody turned, watching Terra descending the stairs. Only Cloud and Luneth had a blush on their faces. Terra was wearing a red shirt with a white skirt reaching above her knees. Her hair was down much to the surprise of everyone. 'Cute…' Cloud thought with a blush on his face as Terra walked towards him.
Once Terra was in front of Cloud, he stammered for while until he hold up his arm with the roses offering them to her.
"Oh Cloud, thank you!" she smiled and hold the roses up to her face, "they're beautiful; let me put them on water."
Cloud nodded still blushing, and waited for Terra as she entered the kitchen for a vase. Ultimecia and Cloud of Darkness were talking about them as a pairing. Kefka was eyeing Cloud warningly and Kuja was trying to get a glimpse of Luneth's cards. And of course, our poor Onion Knight was with his mouth agape and his eyes widened.
'Many bad stares, it's bad for my heart' Cloud placed a hand on his heart, waiting for Squall magical appearance or Terra.
Good enough, Terra returned with Squall behind her holding the tray full of drinks.
"Ready?" Cloud asked more confident and ignoring the dark waves radiating from Luneth, this could be troublesome.
"Yes!" Cloud grabbed Terra's hand; both blushed as they walked to the door.
"Wait a moment!" everybody turned to Luneth, "Where are they going?!"
"They are going to a date, Luneth" Squall said simply, giving everybody their drink.
"What?! A date?!" Luneth would have jumped and tackled Cloud if Squall hadn't held him.
Cloud and Terra exited the house, Cloud sighed in relief, he could only hear screams and laughs inside the house.
"So, why are those in your house?" the spiky haired blond asked Terra as they walked through the street.
"It's because Kefka wanted to play cards, so he asked me if I wanted to play I told him I was going out so he eventually called Kuja, and Kuja called Ultimecia dragging Squall with her and Ultimecia called Cloud of Darkness, and she dragged Luneth also, after that everyone started playing."
Cloud though for a moment, "and, why Squall was wearing an apron?"
"He was the first to lose" Terra said, smiling happily at the memory of Squall losing to everyone.
They walked to a nearby park in a comfortable silence; they sit in a bench watching the people walk, families, couples, little kids.
Terra smiled and laughed watching two kids chasing each other, Cloud smiled also but of Terra happiness.
'She's so cute when she laughs' Cloud kept staring at Terra happy face, he saw the hour on his clock, it was still early.
"Do you want to see a movie?" Cloud asked out of nowhere with a slight blush on his face, Terra turned to him and smiled.
"Of course"
yeah, the first part is up! woohoo! so tell me what you think, if you love it, hate it,
i did this for more CloudxTerra, don't hate me!
