This is my first idea...is anyone has any ideas what I could make Cloud do to try and get Tifa, please enlighten me.

Don't own Final Fantasy 7...

Vincent was the first person Cloud called.

Cloud had been staring at the phone forever, still wondering whether or not he wanted to do this. Whether or not he wanted to tell Tifa how he really felt.

The answer to that question had been yes.

The other question was if he really needed help.

The answer to that one was also yes.

Cloud picked up the phone and dialed the numbers, waiting patiently for Vincent to pick up.

After what seemed like hours, but was actually only a few minutes, there was an answer.

"Hello?"

Cloud almost jumped for joy.

"Hi Vincent."

"Hi Cloud." Vincent sounded suspicious, and Cloud just hurriedly told him the story.

Once he was done explaining, there was a long silence.

"Vincent?"

Still silence.

"You still there?"

More silence.

"Can you help me?"

Finally there was an answer.

"Flowers."

"Pardon?" Cloud wasn't sure if he heard him after the long awkward silence.

"Flowers, Cloud. Flowers."

"Okay, so I have to go out and buy flowers, but what kind."

Again there was a long pause.

"Vincent?"

"Meet me in town in a few minutes and I'll help you out."

And with that he hung up.

Cloud stared at the phone for a few minutes, then got up and ran down the stairs. On his way down them and through the kitchen, he almost ran into Tifa.

"Cloud what are you-" Tifa began before he cut he off.

"Meeting Vincent in town. Be back in a few." And with that he was out the door.

Tifa shook her head, sighed then went back to her work. Only Cloud.

Cloud found Vincent easily and made his way over to him.

"Okay, what do we get."

Vincent gave him a look and shook his head slowly.

"Do you know what flowers Tifa likes?"

"Um, no."

Vincent gave his the look again and started walking down the street, looking at all the different stores and carts.

"Vincent, what do we get?"

"Cloud, just pick out some flowers that look nice."

"I don't know-"

Vincent sighed. "Just do it."

After an hour of looking through the stores and carts, comparing prices, walking away disappointed and shaking his head, he finally found something that was: a) nice, and b) cheap, Cloud finally found something.

"Done." Cloud said coming back to the place where Vincent was with the flowers. "Now what?"

Vincent was astonished with his remark. "You give them to her now."

"Okay-"

"As in you walk up, hand her the flowers, and say something nice."

"Thanks Vincent."

Vincent nodded, then walked away, mumbling something that sounded a lot like 'foolish love struck boys always needing help to do the simple things.'

Cloud shrugged his should and walked back to Seventh Heaven, a new bounce in his steps. He was going to do it, going to confess his feelings.

As soon as Cloud made it into the kitchen, he ran up to Tifa with a smile on his face. Holding the flowers behind his back, he made his little speech.

"Tifa," he began hoping she would feel the same way.

"Yes Cloud?" Tifa asked turning towards him.

"I just wanted to give you something for all the things you've done for me, I just wanted to let you know that I'm thankful and glad you're my friend."

"Oh, Cloud-"

Before she could finish her sentence, he shoved the flowers in the face and smiled. She took a step back, and looked shocked.

"They're daisies. Tifa I-"

"Achoo!"

Cloud broke the sentence off and stared at her.

"Achoo!"

"Um, Tif. Are you okay?"

"Thanks Cloud, but I'm kinda allergic to-Achoo!-daisies." She replied, her voice sounding sick.

"Oh! I'm so sorry Tifa!"

"It's okay. You didn't know. What were you going to say?" She asked curiously, sniffing her nose a little.

"Um-nothing! I'll go get you some tissues!" Cloud ran up the stairs, hiding his face and wishing that his plan hadn't had turned out like it did. If only he knew Tifa was allergic to daisies! Of all flowers! He ran down with the tissues, then made his way back upstairs in defeat.

/

Tifa sat down at the kitchen table after Cloud had given her the tissues and blew her nose.

Damn, she thought. I was so sure he was going to say it too.

She got up and made her way to her room, hoping that tomorrow she'd feel better enough to take the lead and confess her feelings to Cloud.

Or maybe he'd be the one to say them.

She sighed and lay down in her bed. There was no telling with Cloud.
