Here we are, a new story for all of you people to read. I had alot of fun writting this story, its a matter of typing it on the comp. The first chap is a bit gay but bear woth me.
It has been a long day. A few drunks came in only to be kicked out by Barret. Cid only came to fight with Barret and Yuffie tagged along just to try and stop them. It's the end of the day now, everyone has left except for Barret, Cid and Yuffie. All passed out somewhere around the place. I grabbed the last glass that needed to be clean only to drop it and hear the loud smashing sound after. Cursing to myself I walked over to the cupboard to grab the broom. I did notice that someone was following me till I turned around. His blonde spiky hair, amazing blue mako eyes glowing and a great body shape leaning against the wall behind me.
"I didn't know the great Tifa Lockhart would even be able to be as clumsy as that," he said with a smirk. I just rolled my eyes and walked back to sweep up the broken glass waiting for me. I swept it all up into a corner whilst Cloud just watched me, I felt his gaze on me the whole time. It felt uncomfortable, but I simply ignored him.
I leant the broom against the wall and crossed my arms. "What do you want?" I asked Cloud suspiciously. Ever since the cure of Geostigma and the defeat of Deepground, he has been more social and caring so he spoke more often. But sometimes, he had his moments. He scratched the back of his head and stood up. I heard a loud thud from upstairs. Cloud just gave me a look and ran upstairs.
"Get your bloody fat butt off me you son of a... OW! What was that for?" Yuffie screamed from upstairs. She yelled something else before coming downstairs, Cloud closely behind. Cloud grbbed Yuffies hand and dragged he outside. Not that long after, Barret and Cid came down.
"One more beer please, and make it a large," Cid mumbled and sat at the counter. I nodded and ran back to behind the counter.
"What's wrong," I asked him whilst pouring his drink. He just shrugged and just stared at one stop on the bench in silence.
"He's fine, just a bit too much to drink I think." Barret sat at the seat next to him and gave him a nudge. "I'll just grab one more and we'll be off." I nodded and poured another glass. Normally people would be worried about drink driving, but times have changed and people crash their cars even if they're not drunk, everyone gave up.
"Well I hope you had fun tonight." I said with a smile.
After another hour of chatting they all left which meant that me and Cloud had the bar to ourselves, I finished off cleaning the shattered glass when I heard Cloud come in. "Tifa, the kids are at Sheras, how bout we go out?" he asked nervously. I shook my head. I was too tired to even think about leaving the house, all I wanted to do was sleep. Even if he did just asked me out.
"Awww, come on." Cloud groaned.
"Cloud, I'm tired."
"You can't be that tired."
"I'm sorry, maybe tomorrow night ok," Cloud looked down at his feet in disapproval. I must've hurt his feelings bad. But for some strange reason, all I could think about was sleep. "I'm sorry. I know, it took you a lot of courage to ask me that but I am really tired. I promise, tomorrow night I won't open the bar and we can go out on a, date." He looked up at me and back at the floor.
"Ok... I guess." He mumbled in disappointment before disappearing up the stairs. Not long after I followed and went to bed.
...
I can't believe she said no, I thought to myself looking up at the ceiling. She has never said no to me before. I rolled onto my side and saw a picture of me and Tifa behind the bar. I didn't look my best; Cid flashed the camera at us out of nowhere. Tifa told me to throw it out but she looked perfect in the picture. I had to keep it. I sighed and put the picture facing away from me. I used it as I way of talking with Tifa when I was depressed from now on. She told me to so she can know how I am coping emotionally. Every time it isn't up something's wrong or bothering me. I didn't really like the idea but I still did it just to make her happy.
I couldn't sleep. I felt uneasy. Both of our lives have been messed up because of what happened back then. Tifa has been blaming herself for me being the way I am. She's upset that she never let me join her group of friends back at Niblehiem, I got blamed for everything and even me joining SOLDIER. I rolled onto my back to stare at the ceiling again. I felt like I didn't belong on this planet. But at the same I have saved the planet with all my friends plenty of times. Even I wonder why I won't wake up to reality. Things have changed. I feel that Tifa has given up on me because I started talking about Aerith the other night. It turned into a massive argument which ended up in me leaving. I came back obviously, after a week. But since I've come back, she's been acting very distant. I always make a promise to myself. The same promise every night.
"I will change," I mumbled to myself before falling asleep.
...
I wake sound of rustling in Tifas room. I sat up quickly and shut my eyes to listen carefully at the sounds. She sounded like she was in pain. I jumped out of bed leaving the doonas on the floor and raced to her room. I banged the door open and she was lying in her bed tossing and turning franticly. I went over to her bed and shook her a bit. "Tifa come on, you have to wake up." I said in a serious voice, but still no sign of consciousness. She was sweating and breathing heavily. I felt her pulse, her heart was beating franticly.
Out of nowhere came a massive scream of pain.
Well there you have it ^^ More will be up depending on reviews.
Till nxt chap guys :3
