The Stag and the Hen
Cloud's Stag, Cloud's POV
Today was the day of my stag do, the one thing in this wedding malarkey I didn't want any part in but Cid and Barret saw otherwise and had put together a stag do for tonight, I was just glad that Honey Bee Inn was now shut down otherwise Cid would of made arrangements to hold it there so I did have my doubts that there would be strippers and I really didn't want them the only person I cared to see strip was Tifa and I regretted thinking that as soon as I did. I was currently pacing in our room dreading having to go.
"Tifa why do I have to go?" I grumbled as Tifa flipped over on the bed closing her book
"Because Barret and Cid went to a lot of trouble to do this that's why" Tifa smirked
"I know but being in a room with Cid, Barret and the Turks smoking and drinking it's enough to make me to mad" I grumbled.
Tifa got up and wrapped her arms around me resting her chin on my shoulder
"Cloud it's only for a few hours and anyway once it's over your never have to go through it again and well you can always try and escape" she teased I rolled my eyes Tifa Lockhart ever the face of positivity even when Sephiroth was out to destroy the world I don't recall her ever being sad for too long.
"Okay Teef" I said turning around her arms and placing a soft kiss on her lips
"I'll try" I say as I break away.
"That's all I ask" Tifa smiles and then lets me go
So after parking Fenrir I find myself sat in a private club room with friends and acquaintances from my travels all those years ago and some were costumers that had been frequent users of my delivery service and all I could do was sit there silent as eyes often stared at me in a room filled with laughter. I hadn't been there long and have already had enough I had the feeling tonight was going to be the longest night of my life and somehow I was wishing Sephiroth was back as facing him would be a lot nicer than this and by the looks of it Vincent felt the same way too.
A little later on I found myself being forced into drinking and forced was definitely the right word to drink as Barret held me down as Cid and Reno forced drinks down my throat, I coughed and chocked on the first and finally managed to release Barret's hold on me.
So as more and more drinks were passed my way and I became a little tipsy that was when my worst fears for tonight walked through the club doors. I groaned and passed out evil stares to all my supposed friends as they had arranged a stripper.
"I thought I had said no strippers" I growled at the group
"Well I sadid said other otherwise" Reno slurred spilling his drink slightly
I kept my gaze adverted as the girl proceed to do what she was paid for, I could hear Reno catcalling and I found myself counting down the minutes until this was over. I recoiled when the girl sat on my lap, I tried to push her off me but I also didn't want to hurt her and with being a little on the drunk side I didn't have full control of my actions.
"Get off me" I growled through gritted teeth, the guys around me just laughed and I heard Cid shout
"Oh lighten up yer ass its' not like T-Tifa would mind" I rolled my eyes again a habit that I seemed to be doing more and more often these last few months.
"She would mind and I'm not into women that sell themselves" I stated, I could see the girl look at me in angry and sadness, tears rimmed her eyes and she clenched her fist and slapped me across the face with her other hand. It stung but I had had worse, when one the road in our hunt for Sephiroth Tifa and I often trained together and her punches, kicks and slaps did hurt this was weak and barely left a mark.
"It's okay babe, I'll I'll protect you" Reno slurred and he tried to lift the girl off my lap but he was that drunk he ended up falling on the floor, the bar erupted into laughter including myself.
Finally in the early hours of the morning the stag do broke up and I thought I would finally be able to go home and climb into bed next to Tifa but the guys had other plans. As I left the club I was ambushed by everyone that was there. My eyesight went black as a thick blindfold covered my eyes but still kept trying weakly to get the guys off me until my hands and legs were bind and the next thing I know is I'm in the back of a van travelling to god knows where.
After around 20 minutes of travelling we come to a stop and I'm dragged from the van, it's cold outside now and I find the shirt and jeans I had been wearing ripped from my body and the guys drunkenly laughing as some other garment is placed on instead and I can also feel something being placed on my head then, I'm dragged to a cold mental post that I believe is a lamppost, I feel my hands being unbound only to be tied back up again when the cold feel of metal touches my hands. My legs are untied so I can at least move and then, my blindfold is taken away and I find myself standing outside of 7th Heaven tied to a lamppost in a ill fitting dress and I what I assume is resting on my head a tiara so they must of found out then about the time I had to cross dress to save Tifa.
At some point during the remainder of the night I fell asleep and was awoken the following morning by laughter. When I opened my eyes I could see Tifa and the kids staring at me and laughing their heads off I flushed bright red at the eyes on me.
"Oh they got you good Miss Cloud" Tifa giggled
"Yes they did so can please untie me" I snapped a little but who could blame me?
"Alright keep your dress on" Tifa teased as she slipped passed me and I could feel her untie the knot that had kept be here all night.
Tifa's Hen Night, Tifa's POV
It was indeed funny what had happened to Cloud on his Stag do last night but now I was a little worried about the Hen night Yuffie had planned for me, after all Yuffie couldn't be trusted not to do anything extreme and over the top. So I had ever right to be worried but if I had told Cloud to go to his I wasn't going to back out of mine.
"Cloud can you help me" I say turning my back on him, he was currently resting on our bed, nursing his hangover and wrapped up warmly after being left outside in the cold all night. I could hear him groan slightly as he got out of bed.
"There all done" he barely whispered and I could hear him already retreating back to bed so turning around quickly I grabbed his arm and pulled him back to me.
"Excuse me mister but where's my kiss?" I tease raising an eyebrow, I could see him smirk and then he looked like he was thinking it over and finally he smiled and softly graced my lips with his.
"I'll see you later and the kids know not to disturb you anyway they'll be going to bed soon" I smiled, Cloud was already back in bed so I leaned over and planted a soft kiss on his forehead, he smiled
"I'll see you soon" he whispered and closed his eyes once more as I made my way to the door.
Yuffie was waiting downstairs for me and had already helped herself to one of the reserved stash of drinks for AVALANCHE, I rolled my eyes at her she could never stay out of trouble for long, not that she was in any now well that I knew about but still would do things without asking which of coursed made her who she was. She was dressed in a jeans shorts and a strappy top with a white design that looked like flowers but her hair was the same as always.
"TEEFY I HOPE YOUR READY!" she yelled
"I am but don't shout so loud" I inform her
"OH WHY?" She yells again pressing for answers
"Alright because Cloud is in bed, he's not feeling to great after his stag last night" I finally give in
"Oh really?" she smirks
"Yuffie don't" I say giving her the look that usually makes her back down
"Oh you're no fun" she pouts
"Oh come on now's not the time to annoy Cloud you have to get me to my hen party" I say trying to change the subject
"Oh yeah LETS GO!" she shouts before dragging my arm and pulling me towards the door.
The Hen Party Yuffie had planned was nothing like I had expected, I had honestly thought I would find myself in some sort of club but no instead I find myself throwing myself around a woodland area as I try and shoot at people on the opposing team with paint pelts. It's rather fun ducking and diving and shooting at people knowing they won't actually die it's fun but it hurts.
By the time it's over, we're all covered in paint and laughing our heads off and I felt a little stupid when I decided to wear a dress but I had no idea so once out of the camouflaged outfits we had been wearing, Yuffie, Shelke, Elmyra, Elena and Cissnei dragged me towards the bar the paintball place had I was a little shocked that they had indeed had a bar on their premises so Yuffie ordered a large plate of fries between us and a beer pitcher which I wasn't really found of but hey I had to look as if I was having fun which up until now I had been, there was something about being in a bar surrounded by girls I wasn't very comfortable with, even grown up I had more male friends than female so this was still rather new to me.
"Right come on time to move" Yuffie squealed and I didn't understand what was happening next I had actually thought I would be staying here for the rest of the evening but I was rather sceptical about what was happening next.
I found myself after a 30 minute taxi ride in a spa, I could believe I was getting a chance to relax and this was exactly what I needed, first off all we all got massages and I swear to god I wish Cloud could give massages like this and I was tempted to ask if they could teach him but I just couldn't.
We shared small talk during our time at the spa, there was a game of twenty questions when it came to my dress and a further 20 when they wanted to know how Cloud had proposed, they all squealed when I had told them how.
"OH MY GOD I HAD NO IDEA THAT CLOUD WAS THAT ROMANTIC!" Yuffie yelled making us all wince and the spa attendees jump.
"Yuffie not so loud and yes he indeed is" I smiled thinking of how sweet he really was.
"You're so lucky Tifa, Tseng hardly realises I'm there these days" Elena sighed
"But Elena isn't Tseng working on the Midgar reactor clean ups at the minute" Cissnei said
"Yes, he is but even so"
"Ha at least you've got someone Vincent doesn't even know I exist" Yuffie pouted
"Oh come on Yuffie everybody knows you exist your loud enough after all" Shelke giggled it was the first time I had actually heard Shelke laugh.
This went for some time and if Elmyra hadn't stepped in they would of been a fight break out between Yuffie and Shelke over Vincent which had been amusing at times but it had gotten to the point where it was just annoying.
By the time I got home I was so glad that Yuffie hadn't gotten any male strippers as I would of gone mad at her maybe that was why she hadn't as she would not only have me to answer to but probably a rather pissed off Cloud and she had seen Cloud fight Sephiroth so I was sure she didn't want to be on the receiving end of Cloud's Omnislash and I couldn't help but laugh at the idea of it.
"Have a good time?" Cloud asked as I entered our room
"Yeah it was fun but I missed you" I teased him slightly, he quirked an eyebrow and beckoned me to join him on the bed. As I moved closer he grabbed my waist and pulled me on top of him and he captured my lips with his.
"Ouch" I squealed, as Cloud's hand brushed his hands on my hips
"What's wrong?" Cloud asked worry clear in his eyes and tone, slowly he lifted up the dress to reveal the bruises on my hips.
"What with all the bruises?" he asks his gaze filling with more concern
"Paintballing" I giggle
"Painting balling, you went paintballing for your hen?" Cloud asks humour lacing his voice
"Yes and what's wrong with that"
"Nothing" he smirks and captures my lips with his again
"It's not long now you know till were married" I giggle
"I know, not long until we're Mr and Mrs Strife" Cloud smiles and then takes my lips again and I when we break apart I quickly change and I crawl into bed next him as five days remain until we are to be married.
