Cloud stares at Sephiroth for a few minutes shocked to him and not Yuna opening the door until he realizes Sephiroth is starring at him
"oh hello Sephiroth I thought Yuna would be opening the door" he says trying to sound friendly
"she asked me to get it and talk to you out here before you come in" Sephiroth answers motioning to the side of the yard where they will be out of the way "after you" he says. Cloud takes a deep breath and begins walking over to a tree. he's happy to see that Sephiroth doesn't have his sword with him either so there's very little chance he will randomly be killed while no one is looking
"so what is it we're talking about exactly?" he asks looking at Sephiroth
"I want to be friends." Sephiroth says looking at Cloud "I respect you for being able to constantly keep up with our fights and that you will fully accept defeat and anything that comes with it" he continues "I think if we try, we could become good friends. So what do you say?" he finishes holding out his hand
"I think we could be friends as well" Cloud says back taking Sephiroth's hand to shake it. Cloud looks Sephiroth over carefully for any sign that he could be lying but finds nothing
"did you two kiss and make up?" Yuna asks when they walk into the house
"it was a handshake but yes we are fine" Cloud says "we're friends from now on" he adds looking behind him to see Sephiroth walking towards them
"yes we are so you can stop worrying now" he says making Yuna relax a bit
"good that means we can all party without you two fighting" Yuffie says entering the room with Squall. The group walks into Yuna's back yard finding Rikku and Paine already standing by a fire in the middle of the yard
"we're going to make smores!" Rikku runs over and squeals
"just as excited as always I see" Cloud says trying not to laugh. He's only known Rikku for a year but he's never once seen her anything other then happy. he takes a moment to look around at all of the other people around him remembering the day he had finally accepted that they really were his friends
"shall we go and sit someplace?" Sephiroth asks before Cloud is to deep in thought
""I'm fine with just standing for now but you can go sit" Cloud answers with a shrug
"I'll stand and keep you company" Sephiroth says leaning against the wall. They stay like that the entire length of the party laughing and finding out they have more in common then they thought they did and when it was time to leave they walked to Cloud's house together still talking about things.
"I'll see you later" Cloud says when they get to his front door
"Naturaly" Sephiroth answers "have a good night" he adds turning around and walking down the steps
"you to" Cloud says after him before walking inside and going to lay on his bed
I know it was super short and super vague. I didn't realize that until after I had already finished it. I was trying to get two chapters done in one night but chapter 3 is longer I promise :)
