First story from the 50 PROMPTS Livejournal challenge. Just a one shot, and pretty much intended for fluffiness and for cheesy, gooey emotions overload. Hope you enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from FFVII, and I do not plan to make any profit from using their characters in my fan fictions. (Obviously!)

ps. I made a drawing of what the setting looked like for this story over here = .

022 Sunshine

It was a very early Sunday morning. Not too early where there wasn't any sunshine yet, but just early enough to see the sun's rays poking through the window across her face.

He was always the one to wake up earlier between the two of them. 'Probably part of my imaginary SOLDIER instinct,' he thought humorously as he traced a finger from her forehead to her lips. That made her shift a little and he immediately retracted his hand, in fear that she would wake up from such a peaceful sleep.

Startling him a little, Tifa, with her eyes still closed, held up her own hand mindlessly, trying to retrieve his hand back to her face.

He smiled. He took her hand and gave it a soft squeeze, entwining it with his own.

She carefully opened her chocolate colored eyes to a sight that she thought she was never going to get tired of.

"Good morning," Cloud said softly, pushing stray hairs off her face. He thought about how her face looked even more beautiful in the soft sunlight, if that was even possible, because he doubted she couldn't look more beautiful than she already was.

"Good morning to you too," she answered, immediately smiling as her eyes landed on his. Just looking at him was enough to make her smile for the rest of the day.

It was only recently that Cloud decided to move into Tifa's bed and sleep beside her every night. It wasn't anything sexual actually, considering that they hadn't done anything without their clothes off. It was more of the lying down every night beside each other kind of situation, and waking up with the same company.

She kissed him lightly on the lips, and he reciprocated.

"Breakfast?" she mumbled within the kiss. Cloud shook his head and held onto either sides of her face.

"Later," he said, within the kiss as well, distracted by the feelings Tifa was giving him just by such an innocent gesture. He pulled away much to her dismay, but compensated for it by wrapping her in a warm embrace.

Tifa smiled widely to herself as she buried her face into his plain white shirt. The sun shone a little more brightly at them this time. Tifa thought about how much she enjoyed the sunshine, especially on lazy Sunday mornings like this.

"You're smiling," Cloud commented, making the corners of his mouth move upwards as well.

"The sunshine makes me smile," she said, obviously talking about something other than what she meant. "I wouldn't mind waking up to it every morning for the rest of my life."

Cloud's hold on Tifa tightened a bit more as he closed his eyes and savored the moment.

"I wouldn't mind that too."

What'd do you guys think? :) Please review!
