Memories
Chapter
1:
Memories in our hearts
Tifa
Lockhart stared at the blonde in front of her, obviously pissed off
because Cloud had started to act like he owned her lately, asking her
where she was headed if she had planned to go out, and who she had
spent her time with. Cloud had nothing to do with that, nor what kind
of people she hanged around with; he actually knew most of her
friends. And then a absurd thought came through her mind, if Cloud
was a werewolf, he would probably piss a circle around her, and tell
the world 'this is mine!' then she would rose to her feet and get
out of the circle. She had no ideas about being owned by a guy,
because she could take care of herself, she didn't need a man, not
at all.
"I'm just worried!" 'Yeah, sure… you never cared much before either' she thought while she bit her lower lip, Cloud's mako eyes scanned the brown haired woman. He had a feeling that she kept something for herself, and didn't like the idea that she wouldn't tell him. "I just want to talk!" he added, and she rolled her brown eyes. Talk… every time they started talking, or a conversation, it ended as a fight, it had done that lately. "Please, Tifa, tell me how you feel!" Cloud continued, and Tifa crossed her arms under her breasts.
"I'm fine!" she muttered, but Cloud didn't look convinced, not at all. Nor that she cared, because he had spent more time with Barret, Cid, Yuffie and the others lately. He had even spent time with Reno, but not her! "Really, fine!" she added, and a small grin rose over Cloud's lips. "It's actually you who should be telling me where you've been lately!" Cloud snorted and crossed his own arms.
"it's a man thing" although laughter might be the spark in the tinder, Tifa couldn't help herself. She collapsed back onto the sagging couch, held her sides and gasped for breath.
"a man thing!" she managed to
wheeze finally, and started up harder than ever. Cloud looked down at
her, and then out the window. 'You
know her?'
he thought.
'Never
saw her before in my life'
he answered himself and narrowed his eyes at the laughing girl in
front of himself.
She folded her arms across her chest, finally
able to stop laughing. Cloud sighed, he was tired of her making fun
of him, he could go outside and do something else, anything was
better than sitting inside her, wasting his own time.
Cloud went
out the front door, and slammed it. Tifa glanced at the door, a
miracle it still was a door, because Cloud had slammed it with a
force she had no idea that the blonde had inside him.
She frowned
and rose from the couch, headed for the sink and filled up a glass of
fresh water. The brown haired girl felt a little bit bad, she hadn't
meant to upset him that much, not really.
It was just the fact
that Cloud had started to go on her nerves lately that annoyed her.
And Zack was dead, and the blonde had acted strange ever since that
day he came home, like he was a person she had never met before, like
he was a stranger.
Cloud hadn't handled the loss of his
best friend as well as she had hoped he would, but then again,
everyone had their own way to react when they lost someone.
And
the brown haired girl hadn't exactly helped him; she had made the
whole situation worse, because she spent most of her time fighting
with him.
All she wanted to do was comfort him, but he wouldn't
let her do that.
Honestly, Tifa missed the old Cloud, the Cloud
that had left her to join SOLDIER, to prove to her that he could be
as great as Sephiroth.
The whole SOLDIER thing had changed him,
Zack had changed him. And it didn't seem like he would change into
the way he was for a long time.
Yuffie had claimed that she had seen Zack, alive. But that couldn't be true; no one could have survived those injuries. So the young ninja girl had most possible gone nuts, more nuts than she'd been before. Zack couldn't be alive, but the younger girl had always had a wild imagination, and Tifa knew that.
Cloud had to stop running sooner or later, let people help him, talk about things. She would be strong enough to hear it, she'd heard man things before, and she hadn't exactly died. The brown haired girl hated the fact that Cloud held something from her. She wanted to know, she wanted to help, but he wasn't going to work together with her. And that left things a lot harder than she had hoped.

note:
is Zack dead or isn't he dead? I'll update soon, half
long chapter I'm afraid, the next one will end longer. I own
nothing, Characters belongs to Square Enix, and they're not mine.
