For those of you who are fans of my other story Honor of a Kingdom I will be continuing to write it but I decided to start another one about Cloud and Tifa.
This takes place after Advent Children and continues through Dirge Of Cerberus and possibly longer.
Hope everyone enjoys it!
Tifa's POV
I watched as Cloud was surrounded by the children in the water welcoming home. He seemed to be at peace but I never could tell with him. I thought he was at peace two years ago, then he left. He gazed at me suddenly and all I could do was smile at him. I am not courageous enough to tell him how I feel, but maybe I can build up my courage. As everyone continued celebrating in the church I walked outside to have some time to myself. I looked up at the sky and closed my eyes.
"Aerith...Thank you, for helping him...to find peace. I hope you're happy, in the lifestream with Zack. I know he'll take care of you...I...I have one request though. Help me...help me show Cloud that I am here for him, like I've always been all along. He'll need someone to protect. It's all he knows. Help me give him a reason to go on...please" I said to a silent watcher.
"You never needed to learn that. He's cared about you since the first day he met you." A voice said from behind me. I turned to find Aerith standing there.
"How...You're...You're..."
"Dead, I know. I found the strength to come speak to you. Tifa you never need to show Cloud you were there for him. He's been protecting you this whole time. He's been afraid about what happened with me. Sephiroth took over his mind and made Cloud try to kill me. He didn't want that happening to you. But you don't have to worry. He is coming back to stay with you. I won't let him stay here any longer."
"But Aerith, how do I...how do I tell him..."
"You already know how. You're just a little scared. Don't worry he won't reject you. He cares about you too much."
"Aerith..."
"Don't worry...My time is short. You'll be fine Tifa. You will. I know you will"
With that Aerith disappeared. I stood for a moment then headed back inside. If Aerith said I'd be alright then I would just have to take her word on in.
Tonight, I would tell him...tonight
