A/N: Ummm yeah... don't know where this came from... I was bored and wanted to get this particular pairing outta my system without it seeming like Cloud is a pediphiol (did I spell that right? whatever)... well enjoy! (hopefully)
Warning: Yaoi, OOC, and random pairings. Oh and flames will be used to burn all of your hair off! n.n

Cloud took care of many children that were orphans, but only one really stood out to him. This one was so full of life, hope, love, desire, dreams. This child had grown up far quicker then the rest. Even though there were others older then this one child, this one was considered the older sibling of the group. It made Cloud smile with appreciation for the child, no, not child anymore.
The Child had grown up, now in their late teen years.
Time flies...
Such a sad statement, but it is true. With no impending doom that threatened the planet all of the old AVALANCH members had gone off in their own directions, just like they tried to do all those years before.
He still lived with Tifa but she had finally given up on him and was pursuing a new love interest, which was surprisingly enough Reno. What she saw in that ex-Turk was beyond him.
Vincent had followed Yuffie back to her home land Wutai. Apparently he was now her bodyguard with benefits. Apparently he was fine with a relationship as long as it wasn't considered a relationship. That man was serious screwed up in the head...
Barrett lived with his adopted daughter Marlene in their mansion of a house. Oil seems to be a very good fuel source and it quickly made the gun man rich. Now he just had to worry about future suitors for his daughter.
Cid and Shera married, and had started a rocket science program. To send people into space to explore the moon and other planets was its main objective. They had a son and always joke with Barrett that their son James and Marlene should get married someday. Cloud wouldn't be surprised if that became true.
Cait Sith, or Reeves, was now the leader of the new Shinra, it wasn't called that anymore but the new name was so complicated that Cloud just didn't bother remembering it. He was single now, his wife, Scarlet, deceased just two years ago.
Rufus worked for Reeves and didn't seem to mind the arrangement, and all the ex-Turks worked under Reeves as well. Rufus refused to ever marry and rarely dated anymore.
Tseng and Elena got married but where still childless. While Rude seemed to become popular with the ladies now that his partner Reno was out of the way.
So now Cloud was left alone for the most part. And he liked it this way. No one was there to order him around, Tifa had practically left the place in his care. She came around once in a while to check up on everyone but other then that she was kept occupied by Reno.
Cloud was able to sit there and watch the person of his affections without getting yelled at. He was alarmingly older then the teen but that didn't stop him. It wasn't to uncommon for people to have a relationship with someone far younger or older, depending on their point-of-view, then themselves.
Yes, he was able to watch, train, take care of, this person and if the teen even noticed it didn't matter.
For Cloud loved Denzel.
End
A/N: I really don't care for this one... eh maybe that'll change... dunno... I'm not a huge fan of
Denzel, for the sole fact that the kid pisses me off... -.-;; oh well hope you enjoyed! Review! you know you want to! n.n
