A Terra, Onion Knight, and Cloud bonding moment.


"Cloud?…"

A gauntlet hand paused mid-cleaning of their owner's important memento.

"Yes, Terra?" Mako filled eyes landed on the sweet platinum blond girl who nervously shifted under his gaze. Luneth the little onion knight peeking out from behind her.

"I- Well we actually..Ah..umm…we were wondering…" The half-Esper tried to say, nervously wringing her hands.

"Wondering what?" He asked, voice mellow and velvety in such a way that it felt soothing, calming almost to any who could hear it. Although the ex-SOLDIER never seemed to notice this.

"What Terra was wondering was if we could call you our big brother." Luneth said suddenly.

"Your protective and nice and kind and…and you take care of everyone and make sure they are safe even when they don't ask for it. Your reasonable, logical yet you constantly help other people find themselves and their dreams. And even though you say your hesitant and doubt yourself, you never hesitate to help someone out." The young onion knight rushed out.

"Your always there when someone needs help. Your really like a brother in how kind you are." Luneth said finally, his voice just above a whisper as the last of his confident wavered. While the blond swordsman sat eerily still only a few feet from them.

A tense moment passed between them. Even the other members of the party whom were like their siblings in their own right watched the scene in silence for what the blue-eyed SOLDIERS' reaction would be.

Would he get angry? Upset? Would he blatantly tell the two no? Accept it with a sense of little interest, tell them he wasn't interested?

None expecting what happened next.

It was small, just a tiny upturn of lips, yet it spoke volumes.

They had never seen cloud smile before, not even smirk.

The smile, his smile softened everything about him and around him.
Bright Mako eyes seemed far more welcoming.

It was ethereal, transcendental as if you were looking at the smile of an angelic being than a simple warrior.
But cloud wasn't just a simple warrior, was he, they knew.

"I would be honored if you called me that." Cloud said fondly after what felt like forever to the others but had been only a few seconds.

The soft, welcoming smile still in place.

The shock was prevalent among the Warriors of Cosmos.

But Terra and Luneth were quick to recover. Bright smiles taking over their own face as they all but sprung onto their big brother with the smile that made everything feel alright.
